This Privacy Policy explains how Heave ("Heave," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by Felix Fan, collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Heave mobile application and related services.

You may also provide a display name, profile photo, biography, account-privacy setting, and other profile details.
We process the information you create while using Heave, including goals, effort entries, notes, focus activity, progress records, and related settings.
