Data Backup and Sync

  • The App does not provide cloud backup or sync features to maintain complete privacy
  • You are responsible for backing up your device to preserve your data
  • Data recovery is only possible through your device's backup mechanisms

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to any third parties because:

  • No data leaves your device
  • We have no access to your personal information
  • No analytics or advertising networks receive your data
  • No business partners or service providers have access to your information

Legal Compliance

Since no data is transmitted to us, we cannot be compelled to provide user data to law enforcement or government agencies. Your data privacy is protected by your device's security measures.

Your Rights and Control

You maintain complete control over your data:

Access and Control

  • Full Access: You have complete access to all data stored by the App on your device
  • Data Modification: You can edit, update, or delete any information within the App
  • Data Portability: You can export your data through the App's built-in export features
  • Complete Deletion: Uninstalling the App removes all associated data from your device

Data Retention

  • Data is retained on your device until you choose to delete it or uninstall the App

  • You control all aspects of data retention through your device management

Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all data remains on the device, parents maintain control over any data through device-level parental controls.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information through the App, you can remove such information by managing the App on your child's device.

Third-Party Services

No Third-Party Data Sharing

The App does not integrate with third-party services that collect personal information. Any third-party libraries used are limited to:

  • Local functionality enhancement
  • User interface components
  • Local data processing tools

None of these services have access to your personal data.

App Store Privacy

Your download and installation of the App through app stores (Google Play, Apple App Store) are subject to those platforms' respective privacy policies, which are separate from this policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes:

  • We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Significant changes will be communicated through App notifications
