Privacy Policy

Exetasis - effective 26 October 2026

The short version

• Everything you put into Exetasis stays on your phone.
• The app has no internet permission. It cannot send anything anywhere, and it does not.
• There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party code that collects data.
• The developer never receives your data, so there is nothing for the developer to sell, share or lose.
• You pay for the app once, through Google Play. Google handles the payment; the app never sees it.
• You can delete all of it at any time from the app.

Who this covers

This policy covers the Exetasis app for Android (package com.exetasis.app), sold through Google Play in the United Kingdom, and the web pages that publish this policy. "We" and "the developer" mean the individual developer who builds the app and publishes it on Google Play under the name Exetasis. You can reach the developer at [CONTACT EMAIL - set dm.supportEmail in gradle.properties, then rebuild].

What the app keeps, and where

The app keeps a record of your days in one database file inside the app's private storage on your phone. Other apps cannot read it. It contains:

• the habits on your list, their questions and their points;
• your answers each night, and the scores, verdicts and streaks worked out from them;
• figures you type in, such as hours worked or kilometres run;
• your food score from your own food tracker, if you enter one;
• whether you stayed nicotine-free, if you use the nicotine bonus;
• mood and energy (1 to 10), which are recorded but never scored;
• notes you write, the tasks you set yourself, deadlines, and the reasons you give for a failed day;
• your settings, and a log of what the app did and when (for example "survey shown"), used by the app's own Doctor screen.

Some of this is about your health and habits. It is treated accordingly: it never leaves your phone unless you take it out yourself.

The app also keeps, on your phone only:

• up to ten automatic copies of the database, so a damaged file can be restored;
• crash reports, if the app crashes. A crash report contains the error, the app version and your phone's make, model and Android version. It contains nothing from your record.

What leaves your phone

Nothing leaves your phone on its own. Data leaves only when you choose to send it, and only to where you choose:

• Export to Excel and Back up database write a file to a place you pick with your phone's own file picker, or hand it to an app you pick with the share sheet.
• Send crash report and Send feedback open your own email app with the message filled in. You see exactly what is in it, and nothing is sent unless you press Send there.

Where a file goes after that is decided by you and by the service you sent it to.

What the app does not do

• It has no internet permission and opens no network connections.
• It has no sign-in, account or profile, so there is no account to delete on a server.
• It contains no advertising and no analytics, tracking, profiling or crash-reporting libraries.
• It does not use your camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, files or phone number. If you choose a picture to put back as your wallpaper, the phone's own picker gives the app that one picture and nothing else.
• Android's cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are switched off for this app, so your record is not copied to any cloud by the system.

Buying the app on Google Play

Exetasis costs £2.99, paid once. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscription. The purchase is made with Google Play and handled entirely by Google under Google's own terms and privacy policy: the developer never sees your card or payment details. Google gives the developer limited order information (such as an order number, the date, the country and the price) so that sales, refunds and tax can be accounted for. None of it reaches the app, and none of it is linked to your record.

Google may also collect information about the installation and about crashes and performance (Android vitals) under Google's own privacy policy. The developer may see crash statistics from Google Play Console, which do not include your record.

Permissions the app asks for

• Notifications - the nightly survey, the evening check and the morning briefing are notifications.
• Alarms & reminders - so the survey arrives at the minute you set. Without it the app still works; alarms may be a few minutes late.
• Run at startup - to set its alarms again after your phone restarts.
• Set wallpaper - only used if you switch on the home-screen list.

Children

The app is meant for adults and is not directed at children. It is offered to people aged 18 and over.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your record is kept on your phone for as long as you keep the app, so that your history, streaks and averages stay complete.

You can delete it at any time:

• In the app: Settings > Your data & privacy > Delete all my data. This removes the database, its automatic copies, crash reports and the app's settings from the phone, and puts your own wallpaper back.
• Or uninstall the app, which removes everything it stored.

Because the developer never receives your data, there is no copy anywhere else to delete. The page https://kbaker80.github.io/exetasis/delete-data.html explains this and how to contact the developer about it.

Security

The record lives in the app's private storage, protected by Android's app sandbox and by your phone's own screen lock and encryption. The app's network security setting refuses any unencrypted connection, although the app makes no connections at all.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). With this app you exercise them directly: everything is on your phone, you can see and edit it in the app, export it to Excel or as a database file, and delete it. If you have a question, contact [CONTACT EMAIL - set dm.supportEmail in gradle.properties, then rebuild].

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be in the app and at https://kbaker80.github.io/exetasis/privacy.html, with a new effective date. A change that means data could leave your phone without your action would never be made silently - the app would ask you first.
