Privacy Policy

NotifiQ is a habit and reminder app built offline first: your habits live on your phone. Some optional features (Google sign-in, Cloud Backup and NotifiQ Premium purchases) need the internet. This policy explains exactly what leaves your phone and why.

If you don't sign in, your habits, categories, check-in history, moods, energy levels, notes, streaks, achievements, challenges and app settings are stored only on your device. We cannot see them.

• Reminders are scheduled by your phone's own notification system and are never sent to us. NotifiQ asks for the notification permission (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) and exact alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM) only to deliver the reminders you set.
• Reports (weekly/monthly, PDF or image) are made on your phone and only leave it if you choose to share them.
• App Lock uses Android's own fingerprint, face or screen-lock check (USE_BIOMETRIC). NotifiQ never receives your fingerprint, face data or phone PIN; Android only tells the app "unlocked" or "not unlocked".
• File backups (Excel / .notifiq) are saved or shared only where you choose.

Sign-in: when you sign in with Google we receive, through Google Firebase Authentication, your name, email address, profile photo link and a user ID. We use these only to identify your account, show your name and photo in the app, and keep your backups private to you. You may also set a display name, which is stored with your account.

Cloud Backup (Premium): if you turn it on, a copy of your NotifiQ data (habits, categories, check-in history, moods, energy, notes, challenges, and your theme, quiet-hours and achievement settings) is uploaded to Google Cloud Firestore, stored in Google's data centre in Mumbai, India, and encrypted in transit and at rest. Only your signed-in account can read it. We keep your 7 most recent backups and delete older ones automatically.

Payments are handled entirely by Google Play; we never see your card, UPI or bank details. To know whether you have Premium we use RevenueCat, a subscription service, which receives your purchase receipt and purchase history and an anonymous app user ID (or your NotifiQ account user ID if you are signed in). We do not send your name or email to RevenueCat.

NotifiQ uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used, for example which screens are opened, app version, device model and approximate country, so we can fix problems and improve features. It does not include your habit names, notes or other content. NotifiQ contains no advertising and we never sell your data.

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Analytics): sign-in, cloud backup, analytics — privacy
• Google Play Billing: payments — privacy
• RevenueCat, Inc.: subscription status — privacy

• On your phone: until you delete it or uninstall the app.
• Cloud backups and account: until you delete your account. If Premium ends, your existing backups are kept so you can still restore them; delete your account to remove them.
• Purchase records: kept by Google Play and RevenueCat as required for billing, tax and legal reasons.
• Analytics: kept for a limited period under our Firebase settings, then deleted automatically.

• Use NotifiQ without an account. Sign-in is optional.
• Sign out at any time (Profile → Cloud Backup → Sign out). Your data stays on your phone.
• Delete your account and all cloud data in the app (Profile → Cloud Backup → Delete account) or by following our Data Deletion page.
• Copy your data at any time with the in-app file export.
• Cancel Premium in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.

Depending on where you live (for example under India's DPDP Act 2023 or the EU/UK GDPR) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your data. Email us and we will respond within 30 days.

Children: NotifiQ is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their data. Security: data sent to our providers is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Changes: if this policy changes we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
