Overview
Expiry Guard ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Expiry Guard handles your information when you use our Android application.
1. Information Collection and Storage
Local Storage Only: All data entered into Expiry Guard (including item names, categories, expiry dates, reminder windows, and notes) is stored exclusively on your local device within a private, on-device database.
No Cloud Transmission: We do not operate servers, cloud databases, or external storage backends. Your data never leaves your device.
2. Internet and Network Access
Expiry Guard is designed to function 100% offline.
The application does not request or possess the INTERNET permission or any network-related permissions. It cannot and does not communicate with any external servers, APIs, analytics providers, or ad networks.
3. Permissions
Expiry Guard requests only the minimum necessary permissions required for core functionality:
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): Used solely to display local notifications on your device when a tracked item is approaching its expiry date or has expired. You can revoke this permission at any time in system settings.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Used locally by Android WorkManager to restore your daily expiry check schedule after your device restarts.
4. Third-Party Services & Analytics
We do not use third-party analytics SDKs, crash reporters, advertising networks, or tracking tools.
5. Children's Privacy
Because Expiry Guard collects no personal data whatsoever, it is safe for users of all ages and fully compliant with children's privacy regulations.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the app or repository. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
