When'd I — Privacy Policy
Aslla Soft ("the developer") publishes this privacy policy for the app "When'd I" ("the app").
1. Summary
- The app runs without a developer server. The developer does not collect, receive, or store any personal information.
- There is no sign-up. You sign in with a Google Account only if you turn on Google Drive sync (optional).
- Records, photos, notes, and settings are stored on your device. Only if you turn it on, a copy of your records is kept in your own iCloud or Google Drive. Photos are never uploaded to Google Drive.
- Your data is never sent to the developer.
- There are no in-app purchases and no ads.
2. Data stored on your device
The app stores the following only in your device's storage. None of it is sent to the developer.
| Data | Purpose | Where it is stored |
|---|---|---|
| Item names, categories, and the dates you recorded | Showing the last date and days elapsed | App-private storage on your device |
| Photos and notes attached to a record | Showing record details | App-private storage (and, if you choose, a device album) |
| App settings (theme, text size, notification time) | App behaviour | App-private storage |
| A summary used by widgets | Home and Lock Screen widgets | App group storage on your device |
| Google Drive connection data (sign-in token, account identifier) — only if Google Drive sync is on | Syncing without signing in again; checking that the Google Account has not changed | Sign-in token: on iPhone and iPad, iOS Keychain on this device only; on Android, the app does not store it and Google Play services manages it / account identifier: app-private storage |
- Deleting items in the app, or deleting the app, removes this data from your device.
- Because of how iOS works, the sign-in token in the Keychain can remain after the app is deleted; the app removes it the first time it is opened after reinstalling. Disconnecting Google Drive in the app also removes it.
3. Backups and iCloud
The app offers backups so you do not lose your records. No developer server is involved.
- Backup files: you can export a backup file yourself and store or share it wherever you like. That file is yours to manage.
- Automatic iCloud copy (iOS): the app keeps a backup copy in your own iCloud Drive so your records can be restored after switching devices or reinstalling. This copy lives in storage owned by your Apple Account, and the developer cannot access it. You can turn this off in the app's settings.
- Google Drive sync: see section 4. On iPhone and iPad, turning on Google Drive sync turns off the automatic iCloud copy; the two are never on at the same time.
- Device backup (Android): if the operating system's automatic backup is enabled, app data may be included in your own Google account backup. This is an OS feature and the developer cannot access it.
- Data handling within iCloud or a Google account is governed by Apple's and Google's privacy policies respectively.
4. Google Drive sync (optional)
Only if you choose Google Drive under "Sync with" in Settings › Sync, the app uses your own Google Drive to sync your records between devices. This feature is off by default and is available in the iPhone, iPad and Android apps. No developer server is involved: your records travel only between your device and Google and are never sent to the developer.
| Data | Purpose | Where it is stored |
|---|---|---|
| A copy of your records: item names and categories, the dates and times you recorded, notes, per-item settings (reminder threshold, completed), the file names of attached photos, and change times used for syncing | Syncing between devices | A hidden app-only folder in your Google Drive (one file) |
| Google Account identifier (permissionId) | Checking that the connected Google Account has not changed | App-private storage on your device |
| Google sign-in token | Syncing without signing in again | On iPhone and iPad: iOS Keychain on this device only (not moved to other devices, and a device backup cannot restore it on a different device). On Android: the app does not store it; Google Play services manages it. |
- Permission requested: the only Google permission the app requests is
drive.appdata(view and manage the app's own data in a hidden folder). It does not request access to your other Drive files, email address, name, or contacts. - Sign-in: you sign in to Google in the system sign-in window (Google Play services on Android), not inside the app. The app never sees or stores your Google password.
- Photos: photos themselves are not uploaded to Google Drive and are not moved between devices. The copy contains only the photos' file names.
- How the data is used: data received from Google is used only to sync your records between your devices. It is not used for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose, and it is not sent to, sold to, or shared with anyone, including the developer.
- Disconnecting: you can disconnect at any time in Settings › Sync › "Disconnect". On iPhone and iPad this deletes the sign-in token stored on this device; on Android the app discards the token it was using. Other devices stay connected, and the access you gave in your Google Account remains until you remove it as described below.
- Deleting the copy in Google Drive: disconnecting does not delete the copy in your Google Drive. To delete it, first disconnect in the app (otherwise the next sync creates it again), then on a computer go to drive.google.com › Settings › Manage apps and delete this app's hidden app data. To remove the app's access from your Google Account directly, open your Google Account's linked apps page, select the app, and choose "Remove access". Removing access does not delete the data in Drive.
- Retention: the copy stays in your Google Account until you delete it. Because there is no developer server, the developer cannot delete or manage it for you.
- Data stored in Google Drive and Google sign-in are handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Device permissions
| Permission | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Taking a photo to attach to a record | Optional |
| Photo library | Choosing a photo to attach to a record | Optional |
| Add to photo library | Keeping attached photos in a device album so they survive a reinstall | Optional |
| Notifications | An optional end-of-day reminder (local notification, off by default) | Optional |
Permissions are requested the first time the related feature is used and can be changed at any time in system settings. Notifications are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device; no external server is involved.
6. Payments
The purchase of the app is handled by Apple App Store or Google Play. We never receive your payment details such as card numbers. There are no in-app purchases, so the app itself processes no payment information.
7. Third parties
Because no personal information is collected, none is shared with or processed by third parties. The app contains no analytics, advertising SDKs, or crash reporting components that send data off the device.
If you turn on the automatic iCloud copy or Google Drive sync, the app sends a copy of your records, at your request, directly to storage in your own Apple or Google Account. This is not the developer sharing data with a third party, and the developer receives no data in the process.
8. Advertising
The app contains no advertising and collects no advertising-related information. If advertising is ever introduced, this policy will be revised and the change announced beforehand.
9. Children
The app collects no personal information from users of any age.
10. Your rights
Because your data is only on your device and in your own iCloud or Google Account, you can view, correct, and delete it directly within the app. To delete a copy left in Google Drive, see section 4. For questions about privacy, use the contact below.
