Fun Task Tick: Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11th November 2026

Fun Task Tick ("the app") is a habit and task app with short games. This policy explains what the app does with your information. In short: everything stays on your device unless you choose to export it or back it up. We do not collect, receive, sell or share any of your data.

What the app stores

The app saves your tasks, ticks, task times, points, tickets, game rounds, moods, notes, reminders and settings. All of this is kept in the app's private storage on your device, and copied elsewhere only if you export it or turn on automatic backup. None of it is sent to us or to anyone else.

No internet, no accounts, no ads, no tracking

• The app does not request the Internet permission and makes no network requests.

• There are no accounts or sign-ins.

• There are no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no tracking of any kind.

• The app contains no third-party SDKs that collect data.

Backups and moving to a new phone

The app opts out of Android's cloud backup, so Android does not upload your data to Google Drive or any other cloud backup. On Android 12 and later, when you move to a new phone with a direct device-to-device transfer (by cable or local connection), Android may copy the app's data to the new phone. On Android 11 and earlier, the app's data is excluded from backup and transfer.

Export and import

You can choose to export your data. The app then writes a JSON file to a location that you pick using Android's file picker. You can protect the file with a password, in which case it is encrypted with AES-256. If you skip the password, the file is plain text that anyone with the file can read. Once exported, you decide where the file is kept and who can see it. If you save it to a cloud folder or send it to someone, that service's own privacy terms apply. Import only reads a file that you pick.

Automatic backup

Automatic backup is off until you turn it on and pick a folder using Android's file picker. The app then saves a copy of your data to that folder about once a week and keeps the newest four copies. The app itself does not use the internet: if the folder belongs to a cloud service such as Google Drive, that service does the upload and its own privacy terms apply. Automatic backups have no password, so they are plain text that anyone with access to the folder can read. Choose a folder you trust. You can turn automatic backup off at any time; files already saved stay in the folder until you delete them.

Notifications

Reminders are optional. They are scheduled and shown on your device only. You can turn them off in the app or in Android's settings at any time.

Rating the app

Once, after you reach a day's points target on your third day of ticking tasks or later, the app may ask Google Play to show its standard rating card. The app never sees whether you rate it or what you write. Any rating or review goes to Google Play under Google's privacy policy. The app itself still sends nothing and has no Internet permission.

Sending a usage summary

If you like, you can email the developer a usage summary: tap "Usage summary" in Settings. The app first shows you the full text that would be sent, and only after you tap "Email to developer" does it open a draft in your email app. It holds only counts and device details: the app version, your Android version and phone model, days since first use, active days, level, total points, how many habits, one-time tasks and sections are on your list, ticks in the last 7 and 30 days, game rounds per game, tickets held, how many task reminders are on, and whether check-ins, the home-screen widget and automatic backup are in use, plus the theme name. It never includes task names, moods or notes. Nothing is sent unless you press Send in your own email app. The app itself has no internet access.

Permissions

• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: to show the reminders you set up. You can say no and the rest of the app still works.

• VIBRATE: for haptic feedback when you tick tasks and play. This can be switched off in the app's settings.

• WAKE_LOCK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, FOREGROUND_SERVICE and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: added automatically by Android's WorkManager library, which the app uses to schedule reminders and to reschedule them after a restart. The app does not use the network. WorkManager only declares the ability to check whether a connection exists, and it never sends anything.

• com.funtasktick.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION: an internal permission added by the AndroidX Core library. It stops other apps from sending signals into this app. It gives no access to anything on your device.

• com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE: added by Google Play when it delivers the app, as part of Play's automatic protection against modified copies. When the app starts, it asks the Google Play Store app on your phone whether this copy was installed from Google Play. That check is handled by Google Play under Google's privacy policy; the app itself sends nothing and still has no Internet permission.

Children

The app is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone. The app collects no data from any user.

Not medical advice

Fun Task Tick is a habit and task app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you have questions about ADHD or your health, please talk to a healthcare professional. Mood entries are personal notes for your own use.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app, or using "Clear storage" in Android's app settings, deletes all of its data from your device. Export files and automatic backups in folders you picked are not deleted. You can remove those yourself.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
