Water Time Tracker is committed to protecting the privacy and security of users' personal data. The app serves as a tool for users to set daily water drinking goals, track water intake, and monitor progress. This policy outlines the practices and principles adhered to regarding the collection, storage, and management of user information. It is important for users to understand that Water Time Tracker places a high emphasis on privacy by ensuring that all personal information remains solely on the user’s device and is not accessible to any external parties.
Water Time Tracker does not require any permissions from the user’s device to operate. The application does not access sensitive information such as location, contacts, or media files. This ensures that user information remains secure and within the confines of the user’s personal device, contributing to a safe and private usage experience.
The user’s water intake records, progress towards daily hydration goals, and any data inputted into the app are stored locally on the user’s device. The app is designed to function without the need for cloud synchronization or remote backups. This means that no data is sent, stored, or processed by external servers, thereby eliminating risks associated with unauthorized data access or breaches. The app maintains all records within the device’s secure environment.
Water Time Tracker does not collect any personal identity information. Users can freely use the app without entering names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other identifiable details. The app operates as a self-contained system, with user data being managed entirely by the device. No attempt is made to link user data with any form of personal identifier, upholding the principle of user anonymity and security.
Photos and media content are not accessed or uploaded by Water Time Tracker. The app does not include any features that require access to the user’s gallery, camera, or multimedia files. Users can be assured that there is no mechanism within the app to transmit images or personal files to external servers or storage systems. The design of Water Time Tracker ensures that user privacy is safeguarded by minimizing permissions and restricting data access to only what is necessary for core functionality.
User control and autonomy are prioritized in Water Time Tracker. The app allows users to set their own hydration goals, add and modify water intake records, and delete records as needed. The deletion of any record is a complete process, meaning that once a user deletes data, it is permanently removed from the device and cannot be recovered. This guarantees that users have full control over their hydration tracking data without concerns about lingering residual data.
Data security is a fundamental consideration in the development of Water Time Tracker. The app utilizes the secure storage mechanisms provided by the device’s operating system to maintain the integrity and privacy of user information. This approach leverages local data protection methods, ensuring that user information is not vulnerable to external attacks or interceptions. By avoiding internet-based data transmissions, the app inherently reduces exposure to common cybersecurity threats.
Retention of user data aligns with user preferences. Data within Water Time Tracker is stored on the device until the user chooses to delete it. There are no automated processes to offload data to external storage locations, keeping user information secure and under personal control.
Lastly, users are encouraged to practice regular device security practices to complement the privacy and security measures of Water Time Tracker. This includes using device locks, enabling operating system updates, and protecting their device from unauthorized access. These user-led actions help to ensure the highest level of data protection while using the app.
