Privacy Policy for Chain On

Effective Date: May 10, 2024

Last Updated: May 10, 2024

Overview & Commitment

Chain On is engineered from the ground up as a privacy-first, offline-first habit tracking application. We believe that your habit progress belongs solely to you. This Privacy Policy details our transparent data practices in full compliance with the Google Play Developer Policy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

1. Zero Personal Data Collection

Chain On does NOT collect, process, transmit, or store any personally identifiable information (PII).

• Details: We do not gather your name, email address, phone number, location data, IP address, device serial numbers, or advertising IDs.

• Purpose: The app operates on-device and requires zero personal identification to function.

2. On-Device Local Storage Architecture

All data generated within Chain On—including created habits, completion streaks, categories, timestamps, and UI settings (such as Dark Mode and language preference)—is stored exclusively on your local physical device using Android Jetpack DataStore technology.

• No Remote Servers: We do not operate remote servers or cloud databases.

• Data Control: Your data never leaves your device under any circumstances.

3. No Third-Party Data Sharing or Commercialization

Because Chain On collects no user data, we do not share, sell, rent, trade, or monetize any user information with any third-party entities.

• No Ad Networks: We do not partner with third-party advertising brokers or display targeted ads.

• No Analytics SDKs: We do not share telemetry or behavioral usage data with third-party data brokers or marketing services.

4. Anonymous Operation (No Account Required)

Chain On does not require user registration, account creation, or login credentials.

• No Authentication Required: You are never asked to sign in using email, passwords, or social logins (e.g., Google Sign-In or Facebook Login).

• Immediate Utility: You can open and use all features of the application immediately upon installation with 100% anonymity.

5. No Cookies, Web Beacons, or Tracking Software

Chain On does not utilize web cookies, tracking pixels, persistent tracking IDs, or user profiling tools.

• No Cross-App Tracking: We do not monitor your activity across other apps or websites.

• No Ad Identifiers: We do not request or read the Android Advertising ID (AAID).

6. Minimal Device Permissions Footprint

Chain On operates with the absolute minimum privilege set required to run an Android application.

• No Sensitive Permissions: Chain On does NOT request access to your device location (GPS), camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, storage files, or phone state.

• System Sandbox: The application runs securely inside standard Android sandbox constraints.

7. No Background Tracking or Remote Messaging

Chain On does not execute hidden background tracking tasks, remote telemetry pings, or server-triggered push notifications (such as Firebase Cloud Messaging).

• Foreground Display: All habit streak calculations are computed and displayed visually inside the app interface when the app is actively in use.

8. Full Compliance with Children's Privacy (COPPA & Google Play Families Policy)

Chain On is safe for users of all ages, including children under the age of 13.

• Zero Data From Minors: Because Chain On collects no personal information from any user, it inherently complies with COPPA and Google Play’s Families Policy.

• Safe Environment: Contains no user-generated public communication features, external links to unverified content, or behavioral tracking.

9. User Data Control, Policy Updates & Support

You retain full control over all habit records created inside Chain On at all times.

• Data Deletion: To permanently erase all habit records and app settings, you can either:

  1. Go to Android Settings > Apps > Chain On > Storage > Clear Data, or

  2. Simply uninstall the application from your device.

• Policy Revisions: Any minor amendments to this policy will be reflected in future app updates.
