A DAY AWAY

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

A Day Away (the App) is a countdown and day-counting app. This policy explains what the App does with your information — in short: it keeps your data on your device and sends it nowhere, because there is no server to send it to.

Data collection

The App works fully offline. Everything is stored on your device only, in local app storage. The App:

  • does not require an account or sign-in,
  • does not collect, store, or transmit personal information,
  • does not include advertising SDKs,
  • does not use analytics or tracking tools,
  • does not access your location,
  • does not collect any payment information.

The only data the App keeps is on your own device: your events, story entries, gift plans, widget snapshots, and settings. This data never leaves your phone.

What is stored, and where

  • Events, story entries, gift plans, widget snapshots, and settings: stored on your device only.
  • Your email, if you choose local email sign-in: stored on your device only. It is not verified, not synced, and not sent anywhere.
  • Photos: stored on your device only. The App does not upload, copy to a server, or back up your photos.
  • App-lock PIN: if you set one, only a salted hash is stored on your device. The PIN itself is not stored in readable form, and there is no server that could reset it. If you forget it, signing out clears the lock.

Contacts and calendars

Contacts are read only after you grant permission, and only when you open Import. Only the single contact you confirm is copied into an event. Contacts are never uploaded, and the App does not import from Facebook or from any online contacts service.

Device calendars are read only after you grant permission, and only when you open Calendar Import. Only the single calendar event you confirm is copied into a countdown. No calendar data is uploaded.

Permissions the App may request, and why

  • Photos: only to let you pick a background or story photo.
  • Notifications: only to schedule the reminders you ask for.
  • Contacts / calendars: only when you open an import screen.
  • Biometrics: only if you turn on app-lock, to unlock the App on this device.

Internet use

The App does not need the internet to function. If a future version adds optional online features (for example, accounts or sync), this policy will be updated before release.

Children

Because the App collects no data, there are no special considerations for child privacy beyond the above.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published here with a new Last updated date.
