1. Introduction
Welcome to Ananta Daily Journal ("We", "Us", "the Application"). We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our Application, which provides mood tracking, daily journaling, water reminders, sleep logging, self-care checklists, and daily habit gamification.
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Your privacy is our utmost priority. By design, Ananta Daily Journal operates primarily as a local-first application on your device.
- Journal Entries & Personal Notes: Your journaling text, gratitude lists, mood tracking logs, sleep records, and self-care checklists are stored securely and locally in your device's internal storage. We do not have access to your personal journal logs.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymous technical data, such as device model, operating system version, and feature interaction frequency, to help us debug and optimize usability.
- Hydration (Water) Logs: Your daily water log and targets are stored locally to generate progress bars and gamification calculations.
3. How We Use Information
We use the collected data solely for the following purposes:
- To provide, secure, and maintain the primary functionalities of the Application.
- To help you monitor and analyze your own mental health progress and physical habits over time.
- To run daily challenges, XP leveling systems, and habit streak counters within the Application's gamification system.
- To improve user interface layouts, software stability, and performance based on aggregated, anonymous feedback.
4. Data Security & Storage
Since your journals and tracker data are stored directly in your device's local memory, the security of your data depends heavily on the security settings of your own device. We strongly recommend setting up passcode or biometric locks on your mobile phone.
If you choose to sync your database with your personal cloud account (e.g. backup to your personal Google Drive), we implement standard industry security configurations to ensure the sync process is secure.
5. Third-Party Services
The Application may use third-party tools that collect information to identify device sessions. These services include:
- Google Play Services: Used to handle app installations, license verification, automated updates, and basic authentication systems. Google's privacy rules are available on their developer websites.
- Analytic & Crash Reporting (Optional): We may utilize diagnostic tools like Firebase Crashlytics to receive anonymous stack traces when the app encounters errors, helping us publish quick bug fixes.
6. Your Rights
You have absolute control over your personal data:
- You can permanently delete all journal entries, logs, and user progress at any time by clearing the Application data in your device's System Settings or by uninstalling the Application.
- You have the right to opt-out of tracking features simply by skipping those tracking forms inside the Application.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Application is not designed for children under the age of 13 without parental supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover a child under 13 has provided data to our servers, we will delete it immediately.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any updates. We will notify you of any changes by posting the revised policy on this page.
