DayVault — Privacy Policy
DayVault counts the days to and from the dates that matter to you. This policy explains what happens to your information. It is short, because the app does very little with it.
Summary
- There is no account, no sign-up and no sign-in.
- The app has no server, and makes no network requests at all. It works identically in aeroplane mode.
- Your days, notes, photos and story entries are stored only on your phone.
- There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. No third party receives anything.
- The developer cannot see your data. There is nothing to request, export or delete from us, because we never have it.
What stays on your device
- Your days: name, date, note, emoji, colour, how you want it counted, and who it is with if you named someone.
- Your stories: the dated entries you write against a day.
- Your photos: copied into the app's own private storage when you add them, so that deleting the original from your gallery does not break them.
- Your settings: theme, counting rule, quiet hours.
All of this is kept in the app's private storage, which Android does not allow other apps to read. Android Auto Backup is disabled, so the app does not copy it to Google Drive.
What leaves your device
Nothing. DayVault contains no networking code. It does not call any API, including ours. You can confirm this by using it with no connection.
Photos
Choosing a photo uses Android's own system photo picker. The picker hands the app only the images you select, which is why DayVault does not ask for permission to read your photo library — it never has access to the rest of it. Selected images are copied into the app's private storage. Removing a photo in the app deletes that copy.
Notifications
Reminders are scheduled by your phone, for your phone. The app asks for permission to post notifications; that is the only permission it requests. Nothing is sent to a server, and no push service is involved, so reminders work offline.
A day you mark as private shows only its number in notifications and widgets — never its name, and never the name of the person it is with.
Widgets
Home screen widgets read the same on-device storage the app uses. They send nothing.
Payment
If DayVault offers a paid unlock, the purchase is handled entirely by Google Play. Google processes the payment and tells the app only whether the unlock is owned. We never see your name, your card or your billing address. Google's handling of that transaction is covered by Google's own privacy policy.
Children
DayVault is not directed at children under 13 and collects nothing from anyone.
Your rights
Laws such as the GDPR and the DPDP Act give you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to give you or erase. Your data is on your phone: delete a day in the app, or uninstall the app, and it is gone. Uninstalling removes everything, including photos the app copied in.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. If a future version of the app ever sends anything off your device — optional cloud sync between partners is the only thing being considered — it will be off by default, it will say so plainly before you turn it on, and this policy will be updated first.
