PRIVACY POLICY FOR GROWTICA
Thank you for using Growtica ("we", "our", "us", or "the app"). Your privacy
is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the
app handles and how it is used. Please read it carefully.
By downloading, installing, or using Growtica, you agree to the practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
1. OUR PRIVACY-FIRST APPROACH
Growtica is designed to work completely offline. All of your data stays on
your device. We do NOT collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal
information with anyone. There are no accounts, no logins, and no external
servers involved in the core functioning of the app.
2. INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT
Growtica does not collect any personally identifiable information such as:
- Your name, email address, or phone number
- Your precise or approximate location
- Your contacts, photos, or files
- Any advertising or tracking identifiers
We do not use analytics services, tracking cookies, or third-party
advertising SDKs.
3. INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
To provide its features, Growtica stores the following information LOCALLY on
your device only (using your device's local storage). This information never
leaves your device:
- Habits you create (names, categories, icons, colours, frequency, streaks)
- Habit completion history and progress
- Water intake logs
- Mood check-ins
- Focus timer sessions
- Personal notes and journal entries
- XP, levels, coins, achievements, and challenge progress
- Your island progress and milestones
- Profile details you enter (display name, avatar)
- App preferences (theme, reminders, daily goal)
Because this data is stored only on your device, you are in full control of it.
4. HOW YOUR INFORMATION IS USED
The locally stored information is used solely to:
- Display and track your habits and progress
- Power gamification features (XP, levels, island growth, achievements)
- Show your statistics, charts, and history
- Remember your preferences and settings
Your information is never used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose
outside of running the app for you.
5. DATA BACKUP AND EXPORT
Growtica may allow you to back up or export your data (for example, to a file).
If you choose to export or back up your data, that file is created by you and
stored wherever you decide to save it. You are solely responsible for the
security of any backups you create or share. We have no access to these files.
6. PERMISSIONS
Growtica aims to use the minimum permissions necessary. If the app requests a
permission (such as notifications for habit reminders, or storage access for
creating a backup file), it is used only for that stated feature and nothing
else.
7. NOTIFICATIONS
If you enable reminders, the app may send you local notifications on your
device to remind you about your habits. These notifications are generated
locally and are not sent through any external server.
8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Growtica does not integrate third-party services that collect your data for
its core features. Please note that if you download the app from an app store
(such as Google Play), that store may collect certain information according to
its own privacy policy, which is outside our control.
9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Growtica does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone,
including children under the age of 13. Since all data stays on the device and
no information is transmitted to us, the app can be used safely by users of all
ages under appropriate supervision.
10. DATA SECURITY
Because your data is stored locally on your device, its security depends on the
security of your device. We recommend that you protect your device with a
passcode, PIN, or biometric lock. If you uninstall the app or clear its data,
your locally stored information may be permanently deleted.
11. YOUR CONTROL AND CHOICES
You have full control over your data at all times. You can:
- Edit or delete individual habits, notes, logs, and other entries
- Reset or clear the app's data from within the app or through your device
settings
- Uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data
Uninstalling the app or clearing its data will permanently remove your
information from your device unless you have created a backup.
12. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be
reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We
encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the app
after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

Policy or the app, please contact us at:
