Privacy Policy – Upflow: Habit Tracker

🔐 Privacy Policy – Upflow

Effective Date: September 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Upflow (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy.

Upflow is a habit tracking application designed to help users build routines, track daily progress, monitor streaks, and stay consistent over time.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using the App.

By installing or using Upflow, you agree to this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide

Upflow allows you to create and manage habit-related information such as:

- Habit names

- Habit descriptions or notes

- Categories

- Icons and colors

- Completion history / check-ins

- Streak and progress-related data

- Reminder preferences

- Share card preferences

This information is primarily stored locally on your device.

We do not collect, receive, or store your personal habit entries on our own servers unless explicitly stated otherwise in a future version of the App.

b) Automatically Collected Information

To improve app performance, reliability, and user experience, we may collect limited non-personal technical information such as:

- Device model

- Android version

- App version

- Anonymous usage metrics (such as screen views or feature usage)

- Crash or stability diagnostics

This data is:

- Aggregated or de-identified where possible

- Used to improve performance and stability

- Not intended to personally identify you

3. Premium Features & Purchases

Upflow may offer optional premium features (“Premium” or “Pro”).

All payments are processed securely through Google Play Billing.

We do not collect or store:

- Payment card information

- Billing addresses

- Payment credentials

All payment and purchase processing is handled directly by Google Play.

4. Notifications & Reminders

Upflow may send local notifications if you grant notification permission.

These reminders are:

- Created based on your selected reminder settings

- Scheduled locally on your device

- Not transmitted to our servers as personal habit content

We do not collect the content of your reminders.

You can disable notifications at any time through:

- Android system settings

- The App’s Settings screen

5. Data Storage

Your habits, check-ins, streaks, preferences, and related app settings are primarily stored locally on your device. If you uninstall Upflow, locally stored app data may be removed from your device, subject to how your device and Android system manage app storage.

Upflow does not operate a personal habit logging backend unless clearly stated in a future update.

5A. Optional Google Drive Backup

If you choose to connect a Google account and authorize Google Drive access, Upflow can save a copy of your habits, categories, completion history, reminder settings, appearance, language, tracker preferences, and custom colors in the private app-data folder of your own Google Drive. Upflow requests only the drive.appdata permission, which is limited to files created by Upflow in that folder; it does not request access to your other Drive files.

The backup is compressed and checked for integrity, but it is not independently end-to-end encrypted by Upflow. Google stores it under your Google account. We do not receive or store your habit backup on our own servers. The connected account email and display name are stored on your device to identify the account; OAuth access tokens are not stored by Upflow. Google’s privacy policy also applies to data held in Google Drive.

Google Drive backup is an Upflow Premium feature. Connecting an account, creating manual or automatic backups, viewing and verifying backup history, and restoring a backup require an active Premium entitlement. Automatic backup runs only after you enable it, subject to network and device conditions. This is a backup, not real-time synchronization between devices. Upflow keeps up to five recent backup snapshots and may remove older snapshots automatically. Before restoration, the App checks backup integrity; restoring replaces your current local habits and related settings.

Disconnecting your Google account in Upflow stops future automatic backups, but does not delete copies already stored in Google Drive. Uninstalling Upflow does not necessarily delete those Drive copies either. You can remove Upflow’s hidden app data through Google Drive’s app-management settings and revoke Upflow’s access in your Google Account settings.

6. Sharing & Exported Content

Upflow may allow you to generate or share habit progress content, such as share cards, screenshots, or exported summaries.

These files are:

- Generated locally on your device

- Shared only when you choose to share them

- Not uploaded to us by default

We do not receive or store the content you share unless a future feature explicitly says so.

7. Advertising

Upflow may display ads in the App, including ads served by third-party advertising partners such as Google AdMob.

These advertising providers may collect or receive certain device-level or technical information to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and improve advertising services. Depending on your device settings, region, and consent choices, this may include identifiers such as the Android Advertising ID, approximate device information, app interaction signals, and diagnostic information.

Upflow does not sell your personal habit entries or personal habit logs to advertisers.

Where required by law, we may request your consent before showing personalized ads or before allowing certain advertising-related data processing. You may also be able to manage your privacy choices through your device settings or applicable in-app privacy options.

For more information about how Google processes data in connection with advertising, please review Google’s privacy policy and related product documentation.

8. Children’s Privacy

Upflow is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can review the situation.

9. Data Security

Because most Upflow data is stored locally on your device, your data security depends in part on your device’s own security protections.

We recommend enabling device-level protections such as:

- Screen lock

- PIN

- Password

- Biometrics

No digital system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to minimize privacy risks.

10. Your Choices

You may:

- Create, edit, or delete habits at any time

- Update reminder settings

- Share your progress only when you choose

- Disable notifications

- Uninstall the App to remove locally stored data from your device

You remain in control of how you use the App and what you store in it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Upflow evolves.

When updates occur, we will:

- Update the Effective Date

- Publish the revised Privacy Policy

Your continued use of the App after changes become effective indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
