# Privacy Policy — Daily Checklist

**Effective date:** May 17, 2026

Daily Checklist is an Android app for managing personal tasks, lists, habits, and Pomodoro sessions. The app is published by **JC2DEV LLC** ("the developer", "we", "us"). This policy explains how the app handles your information. It applies to the Daily Checklist Android app only.

## The short version

Daily Checklist runs entirely on your device. It has no servers, no user accounts, no analytics, and no ads. The app does not request the Android `INTERNET` permission, which means it cannot send your data anywhere on its own. Anything that leaves your device leaves because *you* explicitly shared, exported, or backed it up using a feature you chose to use.

## Information we collect

**None.** We do not collect, receive, transmit, sell, or have access to your information. There is no developer-side server, log, account system, or database that contains anything about you or your use of the app.

## Information stored on your device

Everything you enter in the app — tasks, subtasks, lists, tags, notes, due dates, reminders, recurrence rules, habits and habit completion history, Pomodoro session history, and your settings — is stored locally in the app's private storage on your device. We have no access to it.

If you uninstall the app, Android removes its local data along with it.

## Permissions the app uses, and why

The app uses a small set of Android permissions, all for on-device features:

- **Notifications** (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`) — to show task/habit reminders and the Pomodoro status.
- **Exact alarms** (`SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`) — to deliver reminders at the times you set, even when the app is not in the foreground. This permission is user-grantable; if you do not grant it, the app falls back to inexact reminder delivery.
- **Boot completed** (`RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED`) — to re-arm your scheduled reminders after a device restart.
- **Foreground service** (`FOREGROUND_SERVICE`, `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE`) — so the Pomodoro timer keeps running accurately while a session is in progress.

The app does **not** request the internet, contacts, location, microphone, camera, calendar read access, file storage, or any other permission.

## Android Auto Backup (Google Drive)

If you have Google's "Back up to Google Drive" feature turned on for your device, Android may include the app's local data — your database, settings, and files — in your encrypted Google Drive backup. This is performed by your device's operating system, not by the app, and is governed by your Google account settings and Google's own privacy policy. We do not initiate, view, or have access to these backups. You can disable backups in your device's system Settings.

The app's temporary "shares" folder lives under the Android cache directory, which the system automatically excludes from backups, so share files awaiting hand-off are never archived.

## Sharing items out of the app

When you tap "Share" on a list, task, or habit, the app writes a small JSON file (or, for calendar export, a standard `.ics` file) to its temporary cache and hands it off through Android's standard share sheet. **You** choose where it goes — another messaging app, email, your calendar, a notes app, etc. The app has no ability to send it on its own.

These temporary share files are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

## Receiving shared items into the app

When another app sends you a Daily Checklist `.json` file (for example, one a friend exported), the app can open it on your request. It reads the file, validates it, shows you a summary, and merges its contents into your local data only after you confirm. Nothing is uploaded.

## Calendar (`.ics`) export

The "Export to calendar" feature produces a standard `.ics` file containing the task title, notes (with any subtasks appended as a checklist), due date/time, recurrence rule, priority, completion status, tag names, and reminder offset from the items you choose to export. You decide which calendar app, if any, receives the file.

## Backup and restore inside the app

The app's "Export" feature writes a backup file to a location you pick using the system file picker. The "Import" feature reads a file you pick. Both files stay on your device unless you choose to send them somewhere yourself.

## Optional "Leave a tip" link

The app's Settings screen includes an optional **Leave a tip** action. Tapping it hands a single URL — `https://www.jc2dev.net/donate` — to your device's browser using Android Custom Tabs (or your default browser as a fallback). The page is loaded by the browser, not by the app itself, and any data exchange (cookies, IP address, browser fingerprint, etc.) is between your browser and that page — governed by your browser's privacy settings and the donate page's own practices. The app does not embed the page, observe what you do there, or transmit anything about you when handing the URL off. You can simply not tap the action if you'd rather not open it.

## Third parties

Daily Checklist does not include third-party advertising, analytics, attribution, A/B testing, or crash-reporting SDKs. The app itself does not connect to the internet, load remote content, embed web views, or use trackers of any kind. The single exception is the optional **Leave a tip** action described above, which only takes effect if you tap it and which hands the URL off to your system browser.

## Children's privacy

The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. Use of the app is subject to the age requirements of the platform you install it from.

## Your rights and choices

Because the app does not collect or transmit personal data, there is nothing for us to access, export, correct, or delete on your behalf — there is nothing on our end. You can review or remove your data at any time on your own device:

- Edit or delete individual items inside the app.
- Use your device Settings → Apps → Daily Checklist → "Clear data" to wipe all local app data.
- Uninstall the app to remove its local data.
- Manage Android backups in your device's system Settings if you wish to control whether app data is included in your Google Drive backup.

### GDPR and CCPA

The app's "no collection" model means the rights granted under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act / CPRA (CCPA) have nothing on our side to act on. For completeness:

- **Right to know / access** — there is nothing for us to disclose about you. This policy itself is the disclosure of our practices.
- **Right to deletion / erasure** — there is nothing for us to delete. You can clear all on-device data at any time using the steps above.
- **Right to rectification** — you can edit any item directly inside the app at any time.
- **Right to data portability** — use the app's built-in **Export** feature to obtain your data as a standard JSON file.
- **Right to restrict or object to processing** — we do not process your personal data, so there is nothing to restrict.
- **Right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information** — we do not sell, rent, share for cross-context behavioral advertising, or otherwise transfer personal information to anyone. There is nothing to opt out of.
- **Right to non-discrimination** — not applicable; there are no accounts, paid tiers, or service levels tied to data.
- **Automated decision-making / profiling** — none is performed.

We act as neither a "controller" nor a "processor" of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR, and neither a "business" nor a "service provider" within the meaning of the CCPA, because no personal data is collected. If you believe otherwise in your situation, please contact us at the address below.

## Security

Because no app-controlled data leaves your device, the security of your information is governed by your device's protections — your lock screen, full-disk encryption, and Android's per-app sandbox. Files you choose to share through the share sheet are handled by whatever app you send them to, and become subject to that app's policies.

## Changes to this policy

If this policy changes — for example, if a future version of the app adds an optional feature that communicates over the internet — we will update this page and revise the effective date above. Material changes will be called out clearly.
