Data Protection & Privacy

Privacy Policy

App: Daily Affirmations for Women (com.jovoc.dailyaffirmationwomen)
Last Updated: March 2025 • Effective immediately
Summary for Peace of Mind: We do not track you, we do not require an account, and we do not transmit any information over the internet. In fact, our application does not declare network permission in its Android Manifest. Your thoughts, habits, and practice remain 100% private to your device.

1. Our Privacy First Philosophy

At Daily Affirmations for Women, we believe mental health and self-care spaces must be sanctuary spaces. You should never have to sacrifice your personal privacy, data sovereignty, or peace of mind to engage with comforting psychological reflections.

Unlike many commercial mindfulness apps that monetize user behavior, run targeted ads, or build user profiles, our application is engineered to operate in complete isolation from the internet.

2. Zero Network Permissions

The fundamental architecture of this app provides technical proof of our commitment:

  • No Internet Permission: The standard Android permission android.permission.INTERNET is completely omitted from the application's AndroidManifest.xml.
  • Architecturally Offline: The application does not possess the technical capability to make outbound HTTP requests, connect to remote servers, query APIs, or send telemetry to any external recipient.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

Because the app operates offline, we do not collect, process, or sell any of the following:

  • No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): No names, email addresses, phone numbers, ages, or social media accounts.
  • No Location Data: We do not access GPS, Wi-Fi networks, or cellular triangulated location.
  • No Device Identifiers: We do not collect Advertising IDs (AAID), IMEI, MAC addresses, or hardware fingerprints.
  • No Usage Telemetry or Analytics: No third-party tools such as Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, or Facebook Pixel are present in the app.
  • No Advertisements: The application contains no advertising SDKs or tracking pixels.

4. Information Stored Locally On Your Device

To provide a personalized, adaptive experience, minimal preference data is stored solely in your device's private sandboxed storage (SharedPreferences and internal app storage):

  • Optional First Name: If you choose to enter your name in settings, it is saved exclusively in your local storage to personalize sentence templates. It is never transmitted anywhere.
  • Category Preferences: Which category you chose during onboarding and your resonance progress (Gentle, Medium, Strong).
  • Practice History & Repetition Guard: A local timestamp of when categories were accessed to ensure no sentence repeats within 7 days.
  • Custom Sentences: Any personal affirmations you create in the app are stored exclusively in your device's local database.

5. Ephemeral Reflection Prompts

During reflection exercises (such as Screen C and Deep Values Reflection):

  • Any thoughts or sentences typed into the reflection answer box are strictly ephemeral.
  • They are cleared from system memory as soon as you exit the screen and are never written to disk or storage.
  • In the Bedtime Unload mode, users are explicitly guided to write on physical paper with zero digital footprint.

6. Data Sovereignty & One-Tap Erasure

You maintain absolute control over your device data at all times:

  • In-App Delete All Data: Within the app's Settings screen, selecting "Delete all data" immediately and permanently wipes all saved history, preferences, and user-created sentences.
  • App Uninstallation: Uninstalling the app via your Android device settings immediately erases all associated data and files with zero residual footprint.

7. Third-Party Libraries and SDKs

The app does not integrate with any third-party tracking, advertising, analytics, or external crash reporting software development kits (SDKs). All libraries used are official open-source Android Jetpack components running entirely on your local hardware.

8. Children's Privacy

Our application is safe for all ages and strictly complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We do not collect or request information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Because this application does not connect to the internet, any revisions to this privacy policy will be published with app updates on Google Play and updated on this official web page.
