MakeSure Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 04, 2026

Last Updated: August 23, 2026

MakeSure ("the App") helps you complete repeatable routines and stop re-checking them. This Privacy Policy explains what the App collects, what it never collects, who receives what, and how you stay in control.

MakeSure is operated by Alper Duran ("we", "us"). Contact: makesurestudio@gmail.com

The short version: your routines, your checking history and your photos never leave your device. The only information that leaves your device is what is needed to deliver notifications, to process a subscription, and to measure whether our advertising works.

---

1. Information Stored Only On Your Device

The content you create in MakeSure is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded to us or to anyone else:

- Routine names, emojis, colors, steps and their order.

- Completion history, streaks and progress.

- Doubt entries and anything you write in them.

- Notes attached to routines or steps.

- Photos you capture in the App as proof that a step was completed. They are saved in the App's own documents directory and are not added to your photo library unless you save them there yourself, and the App deletes them automatically seven days after the routine finishes.

- Your settings: reminder times, theme, week start day, premium status.

We have no account system and no server that stores your content. We cannot see any of it.

If you turn on device or cloud backup (iCloud, Google Drive), your platform provider may include this app data in your backup, under their own terms.

2. Information Collected Automatically

A. Notifications

If you enable reminders, the App uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) to deliver push notifications. Firebase processes a device push token and basic device information for delivery. Reminder times and routine names used in a local reminder stay on your device; local notifications are scheduled by your operating system, not by us.

B. Time zone

The App reads your device time zone so that reminders fire at the right local time.

C. Advertising measurement (Meta)

We advertise MakeSure on Facebook and Instagram. To know whether an advertisement actually led to an install, the App sends app events to Meta Platforms, Inc. using the Meta SDK. There are two levels, and they depend on your tracking choice.

Without your tracking permission, Meta receives:

- Events describing that the App was installed, that it was opened, that you finished setup, that you opened the subscription screen, that you started a purchase, and that you started or completed a subscription, including the subscription price and currency.

- Basic device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language and app version.

- An identifier that Meta generates for this App on this device.

These events carry no advertising identifier.

Only if you allow tracking when the App asks, Meta additionally receives:

- Your device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android), which allows the events above to be connected to your Meta account.

On iOS, the App asks through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, after you have finished at least one routine. If you decline, or never answer, your advertising identifier is not collected. You can change your answer at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, or on Android in Settings > Google > Ads.

D. Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your card details. We receive purchase and renewal status so the App can unlock and restore premium access, and the price and currency of the plan you chose.

3. What We Never Collect Or Share

We never send your routine names, routine steps, checking history, doubt entries, notes or photos to Meta, to Google, or to any other advertising partner. There is no analytics SDK reading your content. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising beyond the advertising measurement described in section 2C.

4. How We Use Information

- To provide the App's features: routines, history, progress and reminders.

- To unlock and restore your premium subscription.

- To measure the performance of our advertising, as described in section 2C.

- To respond to you if you contact us for support.

5. Who Receives Information

- Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — push notification delivery.

- Apple App Store / Google Play — subscription processing and restoration.

- Meta Platforms, Inc. — advertising measurement, and only the data described in section 2C. Your advertising identifier is shared only if you allow tracking.

- Authorities or other parties, if required by law or to protect our rights.

Meta and Google process this data as independent controllers under their own terms. See Meta's Privacy Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy and Google's at https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Legal Bases (EEA, UK)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:

- Contract: delivering the App's features and your subscription.

- Legitimate interests: keeping the App working and understanding, in aggregate, whether our advertising is effective.

- Consent: your advertising identifier, and push notifications. You can withdraw either at any time in your device settings, without losing any feature of the App.

Where Turkish data protection law (KVKK) applies, the corresponding bases are the performance of a contract, our legitimate interests, and your explicit consent for the advertising identifier.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local authority.

Because your content lives on your device, most of these rights are exercised directly in the App, instantly and without asking us. For anything else, write to makesurestudio@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Deleting Your Data

- Delete a single routine: swipe it on the home screen and choose Delete.

- Clear your checking history: Settings > Data > "Clear all history".

- Delete a photo: open the step it belongs to and remove it.

- Delete everything: uninstall the App. Uninstalling removes all local routines, history and photos from your device. This cannot be undone, and we cannot recover it for you.

- Stop advertising measurement: turn tracking off in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, or Android Settings > Google > Ads. To ask Meta to delete data already associated with you, use the tools in your Meta account settings.

- Stop notifications: turn them off in the App or in your device settings.

- Subscriptions are managed and cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account, not by us.

If you would like written confirmation that we hold nothing about you, email makesurestudio@gmail.com and we will confirm.

9. Permissions The App Requests

- Camera: to attach a photo to a routine step. Optional.

- Photos: to save or select an image. Optional.

- Notifications: to send routine reminders. Optional.

- Tracking (iOS): to connect advertising measurement to your advertising identifier. Optional, and declining does not limit any feature of the App.

You can change all of these in your device settings at any time.

10. Data Retention

Your content stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. Photos are the exception: the App deletes them automatically seven days after the routine they belong to finishes, whether or not you looked at them. Notification tokens are managed by your device and Firebase and persist until you disable notifications or uninstall. Meta retains the app events described in section 2C under its own retention policy. Purchase records are retained by Apple or Google under theirs.

11. Children's Privacy

MakeSure is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will act on it.

12. International Transfers

If you use the App outside Turkey, information described in this policy may be processed in other countries with different data protection laws. Google, Apple and Meta operate globally and may process data in the locations where they run their services, using their own transfer safeguards.

13. Security

Your content is stored in the App's private storage, protected by your device's own protections, including your passcode and device encryption. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot recover data from a lost or wiped device because we never had a copy of it.

14. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. The date at the top always shows the current version, and material changes will be announced in the App before they take effect.
