(below-mentioned “Kwit” or “we”), are committed to protect and respect your privacy when using its mobile applications (“Application” or “the App”) and its website (“Website”) https://kwit.app (grouped in “ Platform”).
We have established this privacy policy (below-mentioned the “Policy”) to straightforwardly inform you of how the personal data that identifies you directly or indirectly (The “Personal data”) is processed by Kwit as Data controller.
We collect three categories of information:
By using our Platform, you may be asked to provide us with information that is considered Personal Data.
When you use our Platform, we collect information about how you use it to enable the platform to operate and to continuously improve your experience.
Each time you use the Platform, we may collect, following the relevant legislation, information about the devices on which you use our Platform or the networks from which you access it. For example, your IP addresses, connection data, types and versions of web browsers used, operating systems, data about your browsing experience on the Site and our Applications, the content you access or view, or the advertising ID of your device to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. To do this, we use cookies in particular.
A cookie is a small text file stored and/or read by your browser or application, stored in the cookie directory on your device's hard drive (PC, laptop or smartphone), and stored by the websites you visit. It contains a unique and anonymous identifier.
The cookies we use are:
These cookies come from third-party services that we do not control. The Site uses Google Analytics to measure its audience. You can get more information about this by following this link: www.google.com/analytics. The use of Google Analytics cookies is subject to your consent and may be disabled at any time on the Site itself and in your browser settings.
We also use third parties in our Applications such as Firebase Authentication to allow you to stay connected without having to enter your usernames and passwords each time you log in. Firebase Analytics, Flurry Analytics and Facebook Analytics are used to measure the use of the Applications and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We finally use SendinBlue to send you informational emails.
Several purposes justify personal data processing and rely on the following legal bases:
The main reason why we may use your Personal Data is that without it we would not be able to provide our services, as described in our Terms of Use and in particular we would be able to allow you to self-assess your smoking cessation and evaluations of the evolution of this cessation and manage, if necessary, the operations relating to the management of payments.
Another important reason why we need to process some of your information is that we seek to provide you with the best possible service, to improve it continuously, to protect your Personal Data, to solve technical problems, to establish statistics or to respond to your support requests.
In some cases, we ask for your consent before processing specific data.
Therefore, the processing of personal data that is carried out only after obtaining your consent (which can be withdrawn at any time) is as follows:
On our Site, you choose whether or not to allow the use of analysis and performance cookies. You can change this option in your browser and on the Site.
In our Applications, we ask you if we can send you push notifications to keep you informed of your progress or new features.
On the platform generally, we ask you if we can use your email address to send you personalised offers and the Kwit newsletter.
Each choice can be viewed and modified ( respecting your right to object) in the settings of the application, mobile device, browser, Site or via a link in the emails sent.
Finally, we may need to use your information to comply with the law, for example in the event of a valid judicial requisition, or when we need to take measures to protect our users, or just to respond to your request for a right of access, rectification and opposition or to your other rights regarding your Personal Data.
Since the security of your information is of fundamental importance to us, we require an adequate and sufficient level of security according to the RGPD criteria for the storage of your data.
As far as sharing your data is concerned, it is very simple: we do not share any of your Personal Data with anyone! Only Kwit's authorised personnel will have access to your information and only for support purposes or to improve the services offered by our Platform.
If you use Kwit for a scientific study, only the person in charge of that study will know your identity to preserve your anonymity. You will use an email address provided by the study supervisor to create your account, and we will not be able to identify you in any way. In this specific case, we may share this anonymous data with the study supervisor so that the study can proceed as agreed, under the conditions you have agreed with this supervisor.
Your data is not transferred outside the European Union, except for data transferred and stored on Firebase servers, a platform maintained by Google which is located in the United States of America and which complies with the Privacy Shield, in compliance with our criteria.
We keep your data only during the applicable limitation periods.
This way, we preserve your data as long as you use our Platform. If you no longer use it for 12 months, we will delete all information about you in our possession after this period, except the data strictly necessary to defend our rights during the time of limitation of any action against KWIT.
In the same way, any information that we have been able to anonymise can be preserved indefinitely.
Finally, cookies on your devices are stored for a maximum period of 13 months.
We remind you that you have the right to request the modification and/or removal, for valid reasons, of your information at any time. For more details on this subject, please refer to section 4. Your rights.
For us it is a priority that you keep control over your Personal Data. We would like to remind you that you have the right to access, rectify, object to, define directives concerning the fate of your personal data after your death and delete your data, as well as the right to limit their processing and the portability of the data.
A dedicated section in our Applications and on our Site allows you to modify your choices as to the processing subject to your consent. A link is present in each email that we send you to allow you to unsubscribe from our newsletter. Finally, we respond to all requests concerning your Personal Data when you contact us by email at hello@kwit.app or by post to the address: 3, place de Haguenau, 67000 Strasbourg, France, addressed to Mr. Geoffrey KRETZ.
Finally, we would like to remind you that, if after contacting us you consider, that your rights in regards to your data are not respected, you have the possibility to file a complaint, in the event of a violation of the regulations applicable to the protection of Personal Data, before an authority such as CNIL the French supervisory authority.
Our services are designed for people over 18 years of age. Children aged over 15 and below the age of majority in their country of residence must at least remain under the supervision and consent of their legal representatives. Otherwise, please do not attempt to use our Platform or services.
If you think we may have processed information from minors, please let us know at hello@kwit.app for the removal of it.
We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. We will send you an email or notify you directly via our Applications when we do so. Any changes will take immediate effect after they are posted. The publication date will be updated at the beginning of this Policy.

Kwit is based on scientific literature in order to offer you the best service to successfully quit smoking !
French health authorities consider cognitive and behavioral techniques as the only approved non-drug approach for smoking cessation (best practices, 2014). Cognitive and behavioral therapies can be used as first-line treatments with high levels of proof (Hartmann-Boyce et al., 2021).
Kwit’s benevolent and gratitude-based approach have shown their efficacy, for example in the management of depressive symptoms (Iodice et al, 2021).
According to the transtheoretical model of change (Prochaska, DiClemente & Norcross, 1992), behavioral change is a step-by-step process. Each step is associated with specific strategies. The COM-B model (Michie, Van Stralen & West, 2011) shows the importance of several factors contributing to a successful change: opportunity, self-efficacy, motivation.
Only a few programs integrate those three factors. That’s why we have created a 9-step intervention following motivational interviewing principles and using cognitive and behavioral strategies. In accordance with the above-cited models, this program aims to reinforce users’ willingness to change, to fight difficulties and barriers to smoking cessation, to challenge themselves, and to plan their quit date. This program was designed for people at the preparation stage, which corresponds to this state of mind: “I want to change, but I don’t know how to do it”.
Two standardized and validated questionnaires are used during the program: Fagerström's test for nicotine dependence, and Horn's test to evaluate the type of dependence. Several behavioral change techniques were used to design the 9-step path. Breathing exercises are provided to the users as a strategy to overcome cravings (Loftalian et al, 2020).
Accomplishments to be unlocked within the app are based upon data from the scientific literature. For environmental accomplishments, see Zafeiridou et al. (2018). For accomplishments related to smoke and tobacco components (nicotine, tars, carbon monoxide), see Calafat et al. (2004). For health-related accomplishments, see the references on the CDC and the WHO websites.
The mood tracker allows the user to increase their knowledge about themselves, about their reactions, and to stay proactive in the management of their mental wellbeing (Church et al., 2010; Gay et al., 2011). Mental health is a component of general health, according to the WHO definition. Being in a positive mood has benefits on physical health and reinforces engagement in healthier behaviors. Tracking one’s mood also allows one to determine which contexts trigger definite feelings, so that one can adapt their environment and routine in order to increase their wellbeing.
Users can set personal time and/or money goals. Goal setting is a well-known behavior change technique (see Michie's taxonomy).
Journaling has been studied, particularly in people struggling with anxiety, depression (Smyth et al., 2018), and major depressive disorder (Krpan et al., 2013).
