Privacy Policy

Reminders is provided by programmingwithalex. This policy explains how the Reminders Android app handles information.

Summary

Reminders is private and offline by design. The developer does not operate an application server and does not collect, sell, or share user data. The app contains no advertising, analytics, or telemetry SDKs and does not require an account.

Information stored on your device

The app stores information you choose to enter, including reminder titles, notes, schedules, tags, checklist steps, attachments, routine templates, saved views, display preferences, and optional Activity History. This information remains in the app's local storage unless you explicitly use a sharing, calendar, export, or backup feature.

Activity History can be disabled or cleared in the app and is otherwise retained for up to 30 days. Deleting a reminder removes it from local storage after the brief Undo period.

Backups and transfers you control

Android may back up or transfer app data according to your device and Google account settings. Those operations are controlled by Android and the applicable platform provider.

The app also lets you export a backup through Android's system document picker. If you select a cloud document provider such as Google Drive, that provider transfers and stores the file under its own terms and privacy policy. Optional automatic backups update only the document location you selected and retain up to five changed versions within that backup archive. Reminders does not receive your cloud account credentials and the developer cannot access these files.

Sharing and calendar features

When you choose Share, Android sends the selected reminder content to an app you select. When you choose Add to calendar, Android sends the reminder title, notes, and occurrence time to the calendar app you select. These transfers happen only after your explicit action. The receiving app's privacy policy applies after it receives the information.

Permissions

Reminders may request notifications to display scheduled alerts, Alarms & reminders access to request precisely timed alarms, and start-at-boot access to rebuild future alarms after a restart.

The app does not request location, contacts, microphone, camera, broad file-storage, or internet permission. Photo and file attachments are selected through Android's system picker.

Data retention and deletion

You can delete individual reminders, clear Activity History, export your data, or remove all local app data by uninstalling Reminders or clearing its storage in Android settings. Files previously exported to a document provider must be deleted through that provider. Android-managed backups are controlled through your device and Google account settings.

Children's privacy

Reminders is a general productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the app's data practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
