WeightTracker Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how WeightTracker ("we", "our", or "the app"), developed by Alec Brandt, handles user information when you use our mobile application on Android devices. We believe your health and weight records belong solely to you, which is why the core application functions completely offline on your device.

2. Information We Collect and Store

Locally Stored Data (On-Device Only):

• Weight & Milestone Logs: Daily body weight entries, dates of measurement, and target goal weights.
• Account Credentials: User account identifiers and locally stored passwords used to separate multiple user profiles on the same device.

All of this data is stored strictly in your device's internal SQLite database sandbox. We do not operate external accounts, and we do not transmit, sync, or sell your health records to any external cloud database or third party.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

To support the continued development and maintenance of the application, WeightTracker utilizes third-party advertising services:

• Google AdMob (Google LLC): We display non-intrusive banner advertisements provided by Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). In order to serve relevant ads, Google AdMob may automatically collect pseudonymous device information, including:
  • Google Advertising ID (AAID)
  • Coarse location data derived from IP address
  • Device hardware specifications and operating system version
  • Ad interaction and diagnostic performance logs
  For more details on how Google processes and protects advertising data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Permissions Used by the App

WeightTracker requests only the minimal permissions necessary to function:

• INTERNET: Required to connect to the Google Mobile Ads network to retrieve and display banner advertisements.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used on Android 13 (API 33) and higher to deliver optional on-device milestone alerts and congratulatory reminders when reaching your target weight. This notification runs entirely on your local device.

5. Data Retention, Control, and Deletion

Because your weight and login data resides solely on your physical device, you maintain full control over your data at all times:

• Editing & Deleting Entries: You can edit or remove individual weight records directly from the history dashboard within the app.
• Full Data Erasure: You can permanently wipe all local data and credentials at any time by navigating to your Android device settings (Settings > Apps > WeightTracker > Storage > Clear Data) or by uninstalling the application.

6. Children's Privacy

WeightTracker is not targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children.

7. Security

We prioritize the security of your data by keeping it contained within the secure, sandboxed application directory of your Android device. Only the WeightTracker application on your device can access your local SQLite records.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable platform regulations. Any revisions will be reflected on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
