My Dates — Privacy Policy

1. Data on your device

Event titles, dates, notes, categories, counting and repeat settings, reminders, appearance, selected background copies and widget settings are stored on your device. Language and date/calendar region preferences are also stored locally; choosing a region does not use location permission or GPS.

The developer does not receive your event database, notes or photos. Core features work offline without an app account. The app has no cloud synchronization, advertising or developer analytics SDK, and uses neither Firebase nor the RuStore SDK. It does not request Android internet permission.

2. Photos and local files

You choose a background through Android's system file picker. The app accesses the image you select, crops it on your device and saves a copy in its private internal storage. It does not scan your photo library or upload the image.

The original file is unchanged. Original photo metadata, such as location information, is not copied into the newly cropped image. Internal background copies can remain after replacing a background or deleting an event, because multiple widgets may use them.

3. Reminders and Android permissions

Reminders are calculated on the device. Android 13 and later require notification permission to display them. Declining does not prevent you from creating events or using widgets. Android battery and background restrictions can delay notifications and widget updates.

On Android 8–9, storage-write permission is requested only when you save a generated picture to the gallery. You can still share the picture with another app if you decline. On newer Android versions, saving uses Android's media storage API.

System features restore reminder schedules and refresh widgets after a restart or date, time or time-zone changes. The app does not request broad photo/video reading, all-files access, contacts, system calendar, location, camera, microphone or exact-alarm permissions. Event titles and dates may be visible in widgets or lock-screen notifications; Android settings control notification visibility.

4. Sharing and gallery copies

When you choose to share, the app creates a PNG of the date card shown in the preview, including the event title, date and day count. The chosen receiving app gets temporary permission to read that picture only. You complete any sending or posting in the receiving app, which handles the picture under its own policy. The app does not automatically send your database or upload a picture itself.

Saving to the gallery creates a separate copy under Pictures in a folder named after the localized app name. Gallery copies and copies held by receiving apps are not removed when you delete an event or uninstall this app. Cached sharing pictures older than 24 hours may be removed when you use sharing again.

5. External links and ratings

The rating link opens the external Google Play app or your browser. The Google Play edition has no in-app review SDK and does not track review eligibility or automatically send review-service metrics. Google handles data in its services under the Google Privacy Policy.

Opening this privacy website or using an external sharing, browser or email app is your choice. Those services may process information under their own policies; they do not receive your local event database automatically.

Google Play may use its services for app signing and checks of app integrity or installation source. Where these protections are enabled, Google may process technical app, installation or device information under the Google Privacy Policy. We do not pass your event contents or selected photos to these checks.

6. Storage, security and deletion

The app uses its private internal storage for events, preferences and cropped backgrounds, and grants temporary read access only to generated pictures you choose to share. There is no developer-operated event server or built-in cloud backup. Automatic app-data backup and device-transfer backup are disabled.

You can delete events and custom categories in the app. Deleting an event removes its record but may leave background copies that other widgets use. Clearing app data in Android settings or fully uninstalling removes the app's internal database, preferences, cached files and background copies. Manage saved gallery pictures and copies sent to other apps separately. There is no built-in backup or restore.
