1. Information the App Collects
Attendance Buddy operates strictly as a personal utility tool. The app collects and stores only the information you voluntarily enter directly into the application, including:
- Subject Details: Subject names, starting attendance counts (classes attended and total classes held), and target attendance percentages.
- Timetable Schedules: Scheduled class days, start and end times, room names, and teacher names.
- Attendance Records: Daily attendance logs (Present, Absent, or No Class markers) recorded per class occurrence.
- App Preferences: Selected theme (Light, Dark, or System default) and default target percentage settings.
2. Attendance and Subject Data
The attendance and subject data entered into Attendance Buddy is used exclusively within the app to calculate attendance percentages, track targets, display statistics, and project future attendance. This data is never uploaded, analyzed externally, or associated with your real-world identity.
3. How Data is Stored
All data is saved locally on your Android device using a local SQLite database (Room) and private local preferences (SharedPreferences). Data stored by Attendance Buddy remains strictly within the application's sandboxed directory on your physical device, protected by Android's internal application isolation and security permissions.
4. Data Sharing
Because Attendance Buddy does not transmit data over the internet or connect to external servers, your data is never sold, rented, leased, or shared with any third parties, advertisers, or institutions.
5. Third-Party Services
Attendance Buddy does not integrate any third-party services, including:
- No advertising networks or ad identifiers
- No analytics or telemetry SDKs (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel)
- No crash reporting SDKs that send personal data
- No user account or social login frameworks
The app does not make any background network calls or internet requests.
6. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your information. Since all data resides locally on your Android device, its security relies on your device's built-in operating system protections. We recommend keeping your device secured with a PIN, passcode, or biometric lock.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Your attendance data is retained on your device for as long as you use the application. You maintain full control over your data at all times:
- Resetting Specific Subjects: You can reset attendance records for any individual subject at any time within the subject options menu.
- Complete Data Reset: You can permanently wipe all subjects, timetables, and attendance logs using the "Reset All Data" option in the Settings screen.
- App Uninstallation: Uninstalling Attendance Buddy from your Android device immediately and permanently deletes all stored application data.
8. Children's Privacy
Attendance Buddy is intended for students and general users managing academic schedules. The app does not knowingly collect, request, or solicit any personal information from children or anyone else.
9. User Rights
Under applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR and CCPA), users have rights regarding their personal data. Because Attendance Buddy stores all data locally on your device and does not collect identifiable personal information on external servers, you can exercise your rights to access, modify, or delete your data directly inside the application interface at any time.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates will be reflected on this page with a revised "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
