Privacy Policy

🔒 Your Data Stays With You

Privacy-First Approach: Productivity Tracker is designed to keep all your personal data completely private and secure on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal information to external servers.

1. Information We Access

To provide you with accurate productivity insights, our app requires access to certain device functions. Here's exactly what we access and why:

Usage Stats Permission (Android Usage Access)
Purpose: To analyze your app usage patterns, screen time, and phone pickup frequency.
Data Used: App usage duration, screen on/off times, app launch counts.
Storage: All data is processed and stored locally on your device only.

Notification Permission
Purpose: To send you optional productivity reminders and insights.
Control: You can fully customize or disable all notifications in the app settings.
Content: Only productivity-related reminders - no promotional content.

2. How We Process Your Data

Local Processing Only

Screen Time Analysis: Your usage stats are analyzed locally to calculate productive time
Sleep Pattern Detection: Phone inactivity periods are processed to estimate sleep patterns
Activity Tracking: Manual activity entries are stored in your device's local database
Trend Analysis: Historical data patterns are computed on-device for insights

                ✅ What We DON'T Do
                Send your data to any external servers or cloud services
Share your information with third parties
Track your location or personal identity
Access your personal files, photos, or contacts
Monitor your communications or browsing history
Use your data for advertising or marketing purposes

            

3. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

All your productivity data is stored exclusively in your device's secure local storage using Android's built-in security mechanisms:

Encrypted Storage: Data is stored using Android's secure database encryption

5. Permissions Explained

⚠️ Why We Need Usage Stats Permission

The Usage Stats permission is essential for calculating your productive time. This is a sensitive permission that Android requires us to explain clearly:

What it allows: Access to anonymized app usage statistics
What we see: Which apps were used and for how long
What we don't see: App content, personal data within apps, or your activities within apps
How it's used: Only to calculate screen time and productivity metrics

6. Third-Party Services

Current Status: Productivity Tracker currently operates completely offline and does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or cloud storage providers.

Future Updates: If we ever integrate third-party services, we will:

Update this privacy policy with clear explanations
Request your explicit consent through the app
Provide options to use the app without third-party integrations
Maintain the same privacy-first approach

7. Children's Privacy

Our app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app's productivity tracking features are designed for users who can make informed decisions about their device usage patterns.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do:
