# Privacy Policy for Pulse
**Last Updated:** August 12, 2026
Welcome to **Pulse** ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Pulse mobile application (the "App").
## 1. Information We Collect
**We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any external servers.**
Pulse is designed as an "Offline-First" application. This means:
* **Habits & Focus Data:** All your created habits, completion logs, streaks, and focus session data are stored entirely locally on your device's internal storage.
* **No Accounts Required:** We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide an email address to use the core features of the App.
## 2. Permissions We Request
To provide certain functionalities, the App may request the following permissions on your device:
* **Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS):** Used strictly to send you local reminders for your habits. These notifications are scheduled and triggered locally on your device.
* **Alarms & Reminders (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM):** Required to ensure your habit reminders and interval check-ins trigger at the exact time you specified.
* **Battery Optimization Exemption:** Requested to ensure that background alarms and notifications fire accurately without being delayed by the Android operating system's battery saving features.
* **Storage / Media:** Requested only when you choose to export your data or reports (PDF/CSV) to save them to your device's local Downloads folder.
## 3. Data Backup, Export, and Reports
Pulse provides manual "Data Backup" and "Executive Report (PDF/CSV)" export features.
* These backups and reports are generated entirely locally on your device.
* You choose where to save them (e.g., local storage, Downloads). We do not have access to these files once exported.
## 4. Subscriptions and Payments (Google Play Billing)
If you choose to purchase a premium subscription (Pulse Pro / Executive Tier), the transaction is processed securely by the **Google Play Billing** system.
* We do not collect, process, or have access to your credit card information, billing address, or financial data.
* Please refer to the [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) for information on how Google handles your payment data.
## 5. Third-Party Analytics
Currently, Pulse does not integrate third-party analytics or crash reporting tools (such as Firebase or Crashlytics). Your usage behavior is not tracked by us.
## 6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
