What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?

The Application does not provide an option to create an account therefore, we do not store nor have access to your entries and data. Your data are stored only locally on your device and all calculations are done on your device as well. You can optionally backup your data to Google Drive. Your backups are stored in your private cloud space and we don’t have access to your backup files.

Backup

We advise our users to regularly backup their data. Our users can choose to manually export the backup file and store it wherever they want or they can optionally make cloud backups. The cloud backups are kept in users' private cloud space where we have no access.

Google Drive Backups

Android and iOS users can optionally backup their data using Google Drive. Their backups are stored in their private Google Drive space and count against their quota. We use a secure connection to your Google Account and data is safely stored in a folder where we nor other apps have access. View Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
The app asks Google Sign In for a connected account and displays the account info only when accessing the Backup section. Your email address is never sent with the analytics data.

The application may also collect crashes and performance reports so we can improve the stability and performance of our app.

Audio files

You can optionally attach an audio file to your entry. Your audio files are stored locally on your phone in our app's storage. If you choose to make a cloud backup (Google Drive) your audio files are transferred to your private cloud storage. They are counted against your storage quota.
