Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 15, 2024

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read):

Maintenance Tracker does NOT collect, transmit, or store any of your data on external servers. Everything stays on your device. We respect your privacy completely.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Maintenance Tracker ("we," "our," or "the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Collect

Short Answer: We collect NOTHING.

Maintenance Tracker is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal information, usage data, or analytics from our users.

What This Means:

No Account Creation: We don't require you to create an account or provide any personal information.
No Data Collection: We don't collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal data.
No Analytics: We don't track how you use the app or collect usage statistics.
No Tracking: We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, or any other tracking technologies.
No Third-Party Services: We don't integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services.

3. Local Data Storage

All data you enter into Maintenance Tracker (your assets, maintenance tasks, schedules, etc.) is stored exclusively on your device using local storage mechanisms provided by your mobile operating system.

What We Store Locally:

Asset information (names, types, models, etc.)
Maintenance task records
Maintenance schedules and intervals
Task completion history
App settings and preferences

Important: This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it. We have no access to this information.

4. Permissions

Maintenance Tracker requires certain device permissions to function properly. Here's what we use and why:

Android Permissions:

Storage Access: To save your maintenance data locally on your device and to allow you to export/import data.
Notifications: To send you reminders about upcoming maintenance tasks (only if you enable this feature).
Vibration: To provide haptic feedback for notifications.

All permissions are used solely for the intended functionality and never for data collection or tracking purposes.

5. Data Export and Import

Maintenance Tracker allows you to export your data as a JSON file for backup purposes or to transfer data between devices. This feature:

Creates a file on your device that you control
Does not send data to our servers or any third party
Allows you to import previously exported data
Is completely optional and under your control

6. Internet Connectivity

Maintenance Tracker is designed to work 100% offline. The app does not require an internet connection and does not make any network requests.

7. Third-Party Services

We do not integrate with any third-party services for analytics, advertising, or data collection purposes. Your app usage remains completely private.

8. Children's Privacy

Maintenance Tracker does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any data at all, the app is safe for users of all ages.

9. Data Security

While we don't collect or transmit your data, we encourage you to:

Use your device's built-in security features (screen lock, encryption)
Regularly back up your data using the export feature
Keep your device's operating system updated

10. Changes to Your Data

You have complete control over your data:

View: All your data is accessible within the app
Edit: Modify any information at any time
Delete: Remove individual items or clear all data
Export: Create a backup of your data
Import: Restore data from a backup

11. Your Rights

Since we don't collect any data, traditional data rights (such as the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data) don't apply in the conventional sense. However, you have complete control over all data stored locally on your device.

12. App Store Requirements

This app is distributed through official app stores (Google Play Store, Apple App Store). While we don't collect data, the app stores themselves may collect information about app downloads and purchases according to their own privacy policies.

13. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Open Source

Maintenance Tracker's code is transparent and can be audited to verify our privacy claims. We encourage technical users to review the code if they have concerns about data handling.
