Privacy policy
HabitGrid does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data. There are no servers, no accounts and no third parties involved.
Why this is verifiable
The app does not declare the android.permission.INTERNET
permission. Without it, Android will not open a network connection for the
app no matter what its code attempts. This is not a policy we could quietly change:
any change would appear in the permission list on the app's Google Play listing.
What the app stores, and where
Everything you create lives only in your device's private app storage:
- The habits you create: name, colour, icon, goal and schedule.
- Your daily record: marked days, amounts, skipped days and relapses.
- Any notes you write on a day.
- Your preferences: theme, first day of the week, categories.
- A profile photo, if you choose one. It is stored as a file inside the app and is never uploaded anywhere.
None of it is sent to us, because there is no "us" on the other end. We use no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers and no third-party SDKs.
Permissions the app requests
- Notifications, only to show reminders you set up yourself. If you set none, it is never used.
- Run at startup, to reschedule your reminders after the phone restarts. Without it they would be lost.
The app also carries technical permissions contributed by an Android library used for
background scheduling (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE,
FOREGROUND_SERVICE and WAKE_LOCK). HabitGrid uses no network
features. ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE would only allow checking whether
a connection exists, never using one, and without INTERNET there is
nothing the app could do with that answer.
System backup
If you have Android Backup enabled, the operating system may copy the app's data to your Google account, as it does for any other app. That is handled by Google, not by us: we never see or receive that copy, and you can turn it off in your phone's settings. It exists so you do not lose your history when you change devices.
Your data is yours
Settings includes a JSON export: you get a file with your entire history that you can keep, move, or read in any text editor. To delete everything, uninstalling the app is enough.
Children
HabitGrid is not directed at children under 13 and, because it collects no data at all, it collects no data from children.
Changes to this policy
If it ever changes, the date above changes with it. Should the app gain a feature that requires the network, in-app purchases for example, it would be announced in the release notes and this policy would be updated before that release ships, not after.
