USAGE TERMS AND PRIVACY POLICY ( ToDo-Note )
Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 25, 2026
Welcome to TodoNote (hereinafter referred to as "this App"). By installing and using this App, you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy outlined below. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing a premium, clean, and intuitive task management and productivity experience to help you organize your daily life.
1. Information Collection & General Principles
We believe your tasks, thoughts, and daily schedules belong to you alone.
- No Personal Data Collection: This App does not collect, harvest, or request any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or contacts.
- Local-First Storage: All tasks, checklists, project structures, tags, streak records, priority settings, and due dates are created, saved, and processed locally on your device. We do not upload your personal tasks, plans, or configurations to our servers.
2. Task Processing & Extreme Local Privacy
This App is designed with a strict "local-only" database architecture for task management:
- Zero Cloud Exposure: When you create a task, check off completed items, group tasks into projects or tags, or build custom widgets, all data is stored inside the persistent memory (SharedPreferences) of your local device.
- No Task Content or Schedule Tracking: We do not track the content of your tasks, notes, checklists, project titles, tag names, or your daily achievement stats. Your daily routine is 100% private and protected.
3. Data Usage & Third-Party Services
To support ongoing app development, maintenance, and stability, this App integrates with a limited number of industry-standard third-party services. These services may collect anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers:
A. Advertising (Google AdMob)
This App displays advertisements powered by Google AdMob.
- Data Collected: AdMob may collect and use pseudonymous device identifiers (such as the Advertising ID) to display relevant or personalized advertisements.
- Purpose: To support the continuous development and free distribution of the app.
- Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/
B. Analytics, Crashlytics & Remote Config (Google Firebase)
We use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Remote Config to understand user interaction, troubleshoot crashes, and update app settings:
- Data Collected: Anonymous usage statistics (e.g., app sessions, duration, feature triggers like "app_update", "widget_settings", "developer_page", or screen views) and crash stack traces.
- No Private Data Leaked: No user-created task titles, notes, checklists, project titles, or tag names are ever included in the logs or analytics.
- Purpose: To debug system crashes, optimize app performance, and enhance the overall user experience.
- Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
4. Required Device Permissions & Access
To provide standard task notifications, widgets, and app operations, this App requests only the necessary permissions:
- Internet & Network Access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required exclusively for displaying advertisements (Google AdMob), checking for updates/store configurations (Firebase Remote Config), and transmitting anonymous crash/analytics logs.
- Notification Permission (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Required to send local due date and reminder alerts. All reminder scheduling is run locally by the system, and no task details or schedules are sent online.
- Home Screen Widget Integration: Required to display selected tasks and checklists on your device's home screen. The widget runs entirely locally on your operating system.
- No Sensitive Permissions Required: This App does not require access to your device's external storage, photos, videos, microphone, contacts, or GPS location.
5. Data Security
We implement strict physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards:
- Secure Communication: All communication with Firebase and AdMob is encrypted via secure HTTPS protocols.
- No Server-Side Databases: Since we do not maintain cloud storage databases of your files, tasks, or preferences, your data is completely safe from server-side leaks and hacking attempts.
6. User Rights & Privacy Controls
You have full control over your privacy:
- Reset Ad Identifier: You can opt-out of personalized ads or reset your Advertising ID via your device's native Google/Apple account settings.
- Clear App Cache & Data: You can delete all local tasks, projects, tags, streaks, and widget settings through your system's App Settings.
7. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading or using this App, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
8. User License & Content Ownership
- 100% User Ownership: You retain full ownership, copyrights, and intellectual property rights to any task descriptions, notes, checklists, project names, or tags created within this App.
- Permitted Use: You are granted a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app for personal or professional task organization and productivity management. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, modify, or redistribute any part of our app code or assets.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
- "As-Is" Service: This App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
- No Liability for Loss of Data: While we take extreme care to implement reliable preference and task saving mechanisms, you are responsible for any configurations and backups. We are not liable for any lost tasks, corrupted settings, or data loss caused by clearing app data, uninstalling the app, or device failure.
10. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. When we make updates, we will post the revised version with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
