Privacy Policy

1. Data stored on your device

Your writing, drafts, prompt history, favorites, fish balance, cats, accessories, streaks, and settings are stored locally on your device. The developer has no server and cannot view or recover this data.

Your operating system may include app data in a device backup according to your own backup settings. Those backups are controlled by your platform provider and are not accessible to the developer.

2. Export and restore

You may export your writing as Markdown or JSON and restore writing from a JSON file. These actions happen only when you start them. You choose the destination or source through the operating system. The app does not send exported files to the developer.

Files handled by another app, storage provider, or sharing destination are subject to that provider's privacy practices.

3. Notifications, widget, and purchases

Optional writing reminders are scheduled locally on your device. The Home Screen widget reads today's prompt and streak through storage shared only between the app and its widget on the same device.

Optional in-app purchases (the special cat pack and tips) are processed by Apple or Google under their own terms. The developer does not receive your name, account, or payment details. The app stores on your device only whether the special cat pack is unlocked, and asks the store to restore it when you choose Restore purchases.

4. Permissions

The app may request notification permission when you enable reminders. On Android, it also receives the device-restarted event so enabled local reminders can be scheduled again. The Android app also declares network access because Google Play's billing library requires it for purchases and its own diagnostics sent to Google; the app's own code sends nothing to the developer. The app does not request camera, microphone, contacts, location, advertising identifier, or broad photo access.

5. Analytics, advertising, and tracking

The app contains no advertising, analytics, tracking, crash-reporting, or social-feed service. It does not use an account or developer-operated network service.

6. Deleting your data

You can delete individual pieces inside the app. Uninstalling the app removes its local data, subject to any device backups you control. Export a JSON backup first if you want to restore your writing later.

7. Children's privacy

The app does not knowingly collect personal data from children or anyone else because it does not collect personal data at all.

8. Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change, this policy and the store privacy disclosures will be updated before the changed behavior is released. The effective date above will also be revised.
