This Privacy Policy details how we and our partners (including advertising networks like AdMob) collect, use, and disclose your information when you use our mobile applications available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (the "Apps").

1. Information Collection and Use

For a better experience while using our Apps, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

  • Local Data: Apps like QR & Barcode Scanner process data locally on your device and do not transmit or store sensitive data on our servers without your explicit consent.

  • Usage Data: We may collect information about how you access and use the App ("Usage Data") to improve App performance and resolve technical issues.

2. Health Data Policy

Regarding Water Tracker which handles health-related data (water and hydration tracking):

  • Local Storage: All hydration data is stored locally on your device unless you choose to sync with health services.
  • Optional Sync: You can enable or disable synchronization with Google Health Connect or Apple HealthKit at any time from the app settings.
  • No Sale: We do not sell your health data to any third party under any circumstances.
  • Limited Access: Even when syncing, we do not access your other health data (such as steps, heart rate, etc.).
  • Data Deletion: You can delete all your health data from within the app or by contacting us.

This app is not a medical diagnostic tool and does not provide medical advice. It is used solely for hydration tracking.

8. Local Data Storage

Our apps use local storage solutions to save your data directly on your device. This data remains under your control and is not transmitted to our servers unless explicitly stated:

  • Local Database (Drift/SQLite): App data such as hydration records, QR scan history, and user preferences are stored locally using SQLite databases.
  • Secure Storage: Sensitive information like authentication tokens are stored securely using platform-specific secure storage mechanisms (flutter_secure_storage).
  • Shared Preferences: Basic app settings and preferences are stored using SharedPreferences (Android) and UserDefaults (iOS).
  • File Storage: Some apps may save files to your device's storage using path_provider for features like data export.
  • Device Sensors: Some apps may access device sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) through sensors_plus for features like shake detection. This sensor data is processed locally and never leaves your device.

You can clear all local data by uninstalling the app or using the "Clear Data" option in your device settings. Local data is never backed up to our servers.

9. Notifications and Background Services

Some of our apps use notifications and background services to provide timely reminders:

  • Local Notifications: We use flutter_local_notifications to send you hydration reminders and other app alerts. These notifications are scheduled and delivered locally on your device without requiring server communication.
  • Background Tasks: We use workmanager to handle periodic data sync and maintenance operations. These tasks run locally on your device.
  • Home Screen Widgets: Some apps support home screen widgets (via home_widget) that display data from local storage. Widgets update based on local app state.
  • Quick Actions: Some apps support app icon quick actions for faster access to common features.
  • Time Zone Handling: For accurate notification timing, we use flutter_timezone to detect your local time zone and schedule reminders correctly.

You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings or within the app preferences.

10. Device Permissions

Our apps may request the following permissions to provide full functionality (managed via permission_handler):

  • Camera: Required for QR code and barcode scanning functionality.
  • Health Data: Optional permission to sync hydration data with Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect (via the health plugin).
  • Notifications: Optional permission to send hydration reminders and app alerts.
  • Storage: Optional permission for exporting or importing app data.
