Privacy Policy

This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Personal Reminders (the "app"), an Android app made by Personal Reminders in Ontario, Canada ("we", "us").

What the app stores, and where

The app stores your reminder messages, your settings and its own records of when reminders were shown and dismissed. All of it is kept in the app's private storage on your device.

What we collect

Nothing. The app has no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no third-party services that collect data. It does not request internet access, so it cannot send your data over the internet.

When your data leaves your device

Only when you choose:

• Export and share. When you export or share messages, the app hands the text to the app you pick in Android's share sheet (for example email or a notes app). From then on, that app's privacy policy applies.
• Moving to a new phone. When you set up a new Android phone and choose to copy data directly from your old one, Android copies the app's data to the new phone (Android 9 and later). It goes straight between your phones, not through us or a cloud service.

From version 1.4.0, the app's data is excluded from Android's automatic cloud backup to your Google account. Earlier versions were included in that backup, which is encrypted and stored in your own Google account; after you update, new backups no longer contain the app's data. You can remove older backups in your Google account's backup settings.

Notifications and your lock screen

Reminders appear as notifications showing your message. If your phone is set to hide sensitive content on the lock screen, the message is hidden there; from version 1.4.0 the app shows "New reminder" in its place.

Deleting your data

Delete messages in the app, or uninstall it to remove all of its data from your device. We hold no copies of your app data, so there is nothing to request from us. Details are in the Data Deletion Instructions.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking; it only remembers your light or dark theme choice in your browser. Our web host, Netlify, may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, to operate and secure the site.

Feedback and email

If you send feedback through the contact form on this website, we receive what you enter: your description and, if you add them, steps to reproduce, your device model, the app version, a screenshot and your email address. The form is processed and stored by our web host, Netlify. If you email us, we receive your email address and message. We use this only to answer you and improve the app, keep it only as long as we need it for that, and delete it when you ask (m@far.ag).

Children's privacy

The app collects no personal data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. If the app ever starts collecting data, it will ask for your consent first.
