Privacy Policy for SmartAttendance
Last Updated: April 12, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to SmartAttendance ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy.
SmartAttendance is designed as a privacy-first, offline-capable application. We do not operate central servers to store your personal attendance logs, notes, or academic data.
Data We Process (Local Storage Only)
SmartAttendance does not collect, store, or transmit personal user data to external servers.
All data you enter is stored exclusively on your device using secure local storage such as SQLite database and Shared Preferences.
This includes:
Academic Data: Subject names, course codes, and timetables
Attendance Records: Logs, percentages, and history
User Content: Notes, goals, and attached files
App Preferences: Theme settings and notification configurations
Important: Since data is stored locally, we cannot recover it if you uninstall the app or clear app storage without a backup.
Third-Party Services and Advertising
To support ongoing development, SmartAttendance uses Google AdMob to display ads.
These third-party services may automatically collect device-level information such as device identifiers, IP address, and advertising ID (AAID or IDFA).
Purpose:
To show ads and measure ad performance
Important: We do not link advertising data with any data stored locally in the app.

Permissions Disclosure
We respect your privacy and only interact with device features when necessary.
Internet Access: Used solely to load ads
Notifications: Used to send local reminders for classes and goals. No data is sent to external servers
File and Media Access: When you export reports or attach files, the app uses your device’s secure file picker. We do not have full access to your storage or media
User Rights (GDPR and CCPA)
We respect the privacy rights of users globally.
Control: Since all data is stored offline, you have full control. You can access, modify, or delete your data anytime within the app
Data Sale: We do not collect or sell personal data. Google AdMob handles advertising independently as per regional laws
Children’s Privacy
SmartAttendance is not intended for children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, please contact us. Note that all data remains on the device and is not accessible to us
Data Security
Your data is stored securely on your device using the operating system sandbox environment.
This protects it from other apps, but device security like password or lock is your responsibility
Data Retention and Deletion
Retention: Data remains on your device as long as the app is installed
Deletion: You can delete all data by clearing app storage or uninstalling the app
