Introduction
Welcome to Life Tracker. This privacy policy explains how the app handles your personal information.
Your privacy is our priority. Life Tracker gives you full control over your data โ you can use the app entirely locally, or optionally sign in with Google to back up and sync your data across devices.
Authentication
Life Tracker offers an optional Google Sign-In feature. Authentication is handled by Google's secure OAuth 2.0 system. When you sign in, we receive the following information from Google:
- Your name and email address
- Your Google profile photo
- A unique user ID to identify your account
This information is used solely to identify your account and associate your data with it. We do not use it for any other purpose.
Data Storage
Life Tracker stores your data in two ways depending on whether you are signed in:
Without an account (local only)
All your data is stored exclusively on your device. Nothing is sent to external servers. This includes:
- Daily habits and progress logs
- Personal goals and objectives
- Tasks and appointments
- Weekly and monthly reviews
- Daily mood and energy logs
- Personal notes and reflections
- Day photos (always stored locally only)
- Language and visual theme preferences
With a Google account (cloud sync)
When you sign in, the following data is securely synced to Google Firebase Firestore, hosted on servers in Europe (region: eur3):
- Goals, habits and objectives
- Tasks and appointments
- Weekly and monthly reviews
- Daily mood, energy and reflection notes
- Personal notes
Data We Collect
The table below summarises what data is collected, how it is stored, and why:
| Data type | Where stored | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, profile photo | Google (via Sign-In) | Account identification |
| User ID | Device + Firebase | Linking your data to your account |
| Goals, habits, tasks, notes, reviews | Device (always) + Firebase (if signed in) | Core app functionality |
| Mood and energy logs | Device (always) + Firebase (if signed in) | Daily wellbeing tracking |
| Day photos | Device only (never uploaded) | Personal daily memory |
| App preferences (theme, language) | Device only | Personalisation |
What We Don't Do
- We do not sell your data to any third party
- We do not use your data for advertising purposes
- We do not share your data with anyone other than Google Firebase (cloud storage)
- We do not use tracking cookies or analytics SDKs
- We do not access your location, microphone or contacts
- We never access your device camera โ photos can only be added by picking an existing image from your gallery/files, the app has no camera capture feature
Notifications
The app may send local notifications (habit reminders, weekly reviews, appointment alerts). These notifications are generated and processed entirely on your device and do not involve any server communication.
You can enable or disable notifications at any time in the app settings or in your device's system settings.
Data Deletion and Account Removal
You have full control over your data and can delete it at any time:
Without an account:
- On the mobile app: uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage/data in your device settings, permanently deletes all local data
- On the web version: clearing your browser's site data (or cookies and site storage) for this site removes all local data
With a Google account:
- Open the app โ tap the profile icon (top right) โ tap "Delete account and data"
- This permanently deletes all your data from Firebase and signs you out
- Local data on the device is also erased at the same time
Data Location and GDPR
For users who sign in with Google, data is stored in Google Firebase Firestore in the Europe West region (eur3), which covers Belgium and the Netherlands. This ensures compliance with European data protection regulations (GDPR).
Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data at any time. You can exercise these rights directly in the app or by contacting us at the email address below.
Minors
Life Tracker is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy is updated, the new version will be published on this page with the updated date shown at the top. We will notify users of significant changes where possible.
Continued use of the app after changes to the policy implies acceptance of those changes.
