Privacy Policy

This policy describes how the Dayly mobile application (“the app”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles your information. The developer or legal entity responsible for publishing Dayly appears on the official Google Play and Apple App Store listings. Dayly is an offline‑first productivity app for notes, finance tracking (transactions, budgeting, borrowing/lending summaries, and credit‑card tooling where available), reminders, and habit building. Protecting your privacy is central to how the app is built.

1. Information stored by the app

Dayly lets you create notes, budgets, transactions, events, reminders for bills/budgets, contacts for lending/borrowing where you link them, habits, and (where available) structured finance views such as credit cards or debt summaries you enter. This content — along with any attachments (images, voice recordings) you add — is stored in a local SQLite database on your device. It never leaves your device unless you explicitly share or export it (for example, exporting a PDF/CSV, or sharing a file through the system share sheet).

The app may also store the following on your device:

• App settings and preferences (theme, language, notification preferences, biometric lock preferences).
• Scheduled reminder metadata, so notifications fire at the right time.
• Local app state cached in device storage (e.g. onboarding completion, last-used filters).

2. Information we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any account credentials — Dayly has no user accounts.
• We do not track your location.
• We do not use advertising SDKs or third‑party trackers that fingerprint you across other companies’ apps for ads.
• We do not upload your notes, transactions, voice memos, photos, or contacts to any server operated by us.

3. Device permissions

Dayly requests device permissions only as needed for specific features. You can revoke any permission at any time from your device settings; the related feature will then be disabled until you re-grant it.

4. Backups and exports

If you use the backup or export feature, the app creates a file on your device (for example, a JSON backup, a PDF report, or a CSV file). What happens to that file is up to you — you can keep it locally, share it via the system share sheet (email, cloud drive, messaging app, etc.), or move it elsewhere. Any destination you send it to is governed by that service’s own privacy terms, not by Dayly.

5. Third-party services and distribution

The app is built with the Expo / React Native stack and distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Your day‑to‑day data stays local; what those parties process is governed by their policies below.

• Stores & platforms: Google and Apple may receive limited technical and account metadata associated with installs and updates (for example aggregated crash summaries or install counts in developer consoles—not your private note or finance content).
• Google Privacy Policy
• Apple Privacy Policy
• Expo Privacy Policy — relevant when we use Expo tooling and, in release builds, optional EAS Insights (expo-insights): it may record app launch (cold‑start) style events tied to our Expo project and app version. This is not your note, transaction, or habit content.

Embedded web content: If Dayly displays a webpage or opens a link in an in‑app browser, that third‑party site’s terms and cookies apply to that session—not this policy.

Dayly does not integrate advertising SDKs, cross‑app social trackers, or packages that send your notebook or finance rows for ad profiling (see §2). Optional launch metrics to Expo (above) are bounded to how the packaged binary is used, not the text of your journals or ledgers.

6. Children’s privacy

Dayly is a general-audience productivity tool. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because the app does not collect personal data on our servers, we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a minor has used the app and you want to delete their on-device data, uninstalling the app or clearing its storage from the OS settings will remove it.

7. Data retention and deletion

Because your content lives on your device, you control retention. You can:

• Delete individual notes, transactions, habits, events, or categories in-app.
• Clear the app’s data from your device settings to remove everything at once.
• Uninstall the app to permanently remove all Dayly data from the device.

8. Security

Your data is protected by your device’s built-in storage protections. Dayly additionally offers optional biometric locks for sensitive sections. Please keep your device secure with a passcode/biometric lock, and avoid installing the app on a shared or rooted/jailbroken device if you store sensitive information.

9. Your rights

Because your content ordinarily stays on device, nothing is mirrored on our servers by default—you can export, amend, or delete data directly in‑app as described in §4 and §7. Where GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD or similar laws apply, exercising rights relating to merchant accounts or store purchases may go through Google or Apple; we will respond to lawful requests routed to the contact on your store listing.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, if the app adds a new feature that needs a new permission). When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, call it out within the app or in the store listing.
