Privacy Policy for Sleek: Habit Builder & Tracker

Last Updated and
Effective Date:
July 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Sleek: Habit Builder & Tracker ("We", "Us", "Our", or the "Company") collects, processes, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our mobile application and related services.

We are committed to protecting your privacy in strict accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) of India, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Google Play Data Safety guidelines.

🛡️ Core Pledge: 100% Local-First Architecture & Zero Cloud Tracking

Sleek: Habit Builder & Tracker ("we," "our," "us," or the "Application") is designed as a Local-First application. All of your habits, daily completion logs, streaks, and custom settings are stored locally on your device using encrypted/secure local databases (Hive and SharedPreferences). We do not collect, transmit, upload, or store your personal habit data on any external servers, cloud databases, or third-party analytics platforms.

1. Roles Under the DPDP Act, 2023

►
Data Fiduciary: Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), we act as a responsible Data Fiduciary. Because all habit data and settings reside strictly offline on your device (`Hive` and `SharedPreferences`), we exercise zero server-side access, processing, or sharing of your habits.
►
Data Principal: You act as the Data Principal under Section 2(j) of the DPDP Act. You retain full real-time control, access, correction, and erasure autonomy over your personal habits directly through the local application interface.

2. Notice of Itemized Data Collection (Section 5, DPDP Act)

We collect and process the following specific categories of personal data with your explicit consent:

A. Local Habit Records & Daily Completion Logs

►
What is collected: Habit names, descriptions, categories, icon selections, frequency preferences, reminder schedules, and daily completion timestamps.
►
Purpose: Processed strictly locally to display your daily routines, calculate habit streaks, and maintain personal productivity logs. Because this information never leaves your device, we have no access to it, and we cannot read, share, or sell your habits.

B. Application & Display Preferences

►
What is collected: Preferred theme mode (Light/Dark/System), display language/locale settings, notification preferences, and widget configurations.
►
Purpose: Stored in encrypted on-device preferences (`SharedPreferences` and `Hive AppDatabase`) to preserve your visual and operational app customization across sessions.

C. Zero Remote Cloud Storage or Telemetry

►
What is collected: None.
►
Purpose: We do not embed third-party analytics platforms, crash exfiltration SDKs, or advertising tracking networks (such as Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, or Meta Pixel).

Device Permissions & Justifications

To perform its advertised core functionality as an advanced time tracker, mission countdown tool, and exact alarm clock, our application requests specific operating system permissions:

POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Push Notifications)
Used strictly to send you local reminder alerts at your scheduled times so you do not forget your daily habits. Notifications are generated locally (`flutter_local_notifications`) without remote notification servers or cloud tracking.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM / Android AlarmManager (Exact Alarms)
Required to ensure that your daily morning and evening reminders trigger punctually at the exact minute you specified.
File Storage Access / Document Storage (File Picker)
Requested only when you explicitly choose to Export or Import your habit backup file (`.json`). The backup file is saved directly to the local folder of your choice without network transmission.
INTERNET (Network Access)
Used solely to enable the optional "Explore Other Apps" section (`OtherAppsPage`) pointing to `https://otherapps.vercel.app/` or opening external developer links in your browser.

3. Consent & Right to Withdraw Consent (Section 6, DPDP Act)

By granting local device permissions (such as Notifications), you consent to local processing. You have the absolute right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Right to Withdraw Consent (Section 6(4))

You have the absolute right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw consent by:

►
Disabling notification permissions directly in your device's OS Settings (`Settings > Apps > Sleek > Permissions`).
►
Using the `Clear Demo Habits` or `Delete Habit` features inside the app interface.
►
Uninstalling the Application, which instantly and permanently erases all locally stored data (`Hive` database and `SharedPreferences`) from your device memory.

Deletion happens instantly on your physical device without needing to submit server requests or wait for remote processing.

4. Right to Erasure / Account Deletion (Section 12(3), DPDP Act & Google Play)

Because all data resides locally on your physical device, you exercise complete, real-time statutory control over your personal records under DPDP Act Section 12, GDPR Article 17, and CCPA:

►
In-App Deletion: You can view, edit, modify, clear demo habits, or permanently delete any habit directly inside the app interface at any time.
►
Manual Deletion: Exporting your backup (`Settings -> Manage Data -> Export Habits`) and subsequently clearing app storage or uninstalling Sleek permanently erases 100% of locally stored data without server processing delays.

5. Third-Party Data Processors & Disclosure (Section 8 & Section 16)

We adhere strictly to data minimization and zero server-side harvesting. Sleek: Habit Builder & Tracker does not share, sell, transmit, or disclose any habit data, completion logs, or user preferences to any third-party data processors, cloud servers, or external services. All data remains strictly on your local device.

6. Data Security & Storage (Section 8(5))

All habit databases and preferences are written directly to your device's internal storage using `Hive` (`AppDatabase`) and `SharedPreferences`, protected by your operating system's sandbox isolation and full-disk encryption. We have zero server-side access to your data.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Application is general audience software designed for productivity and habit building. Because we do not collect, transmit, or store any personal information whatsoever, the app is entirely safe for users of all ages, including minors under the age of 13 (USA COPPA), under 16 (EU GDPR), and under 18 (India DPDP Act). We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or process personal data from children.

8. Third-Party Links & External Applications

The Application includes an "Explore Other Apps" section (`OtherAppsPage`) which opens a secure web view to `https://otherapps.vercel.app/` or opens external links in your browser. When you navigate to external websites or third-party apps, those platforms operate under their own separate privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any external site you visit.
