Privacy Policy for Root Chain

Effective Date: September 2026

Last Updated: September 2026

1. Overview and Commitment

At Root Chain, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how our application operates and handles user information. Root Chain is built as a fully offline, privacy-first habit-tracking application designed to help users build habits and maintain daily chains without compromising their personal data.

2. Information Collection and Use

Root Chain does NOT collect, transmit, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII).

• No Registration Required: You are not required to create an account, register, or provide any personal details (such as your name, email address, phone number, or social media handles) to use Root Chain.

• No Server Uploads: All habits, streak counters, completion logs, and user preferences (e.g., Dark Mode and language choices) are stored strictly on your local device. None of this data is ever sent to external servers, cloud services, or third parties.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

Root Chain does not integrate any third-party SDKs, frameworks, analytics tools, or advertising platforms.

• No Advertising: We do not serve ads (no Google AdMob or secondary ad networks).

• No Analytics or Tracking: We do not use tracking cookies, behavioral analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics), or device advertising identifiers (GAID).

4. App Permissions

Root Chain requires no sensitive system permissions to function:

• No access to Camera or Microphone

• No access to Contacts or Call Logs

• No access to Fine or Coarse Location

• No access to External Media or Files

The app operates strictly within its isolated sandbox environment provided by the Android OS.

5. Data Storage and Retention

All user data generated within Root Chain is maintained locally on your device via Android DataStore.

• You retain complete ownership and control over your data.

• You can permanently erase all stored application data at any time by clearing the application storage via your device settings or by uninstalling the application.

6. Children's Privacy

Root Chain is suitable for users of all ages, including children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). Because the application collects zero personal data, it complies fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect future app enhancements or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be published within the app interface under the Privacy Policy section.
