Introduction
Trackscribe is an Android app, developed by Endtres, that keeps track of
subscriptions, warranties, return windows and licences, and reminds you
before they run out. This privacy policy explains what information the app
handles and where it goes. In short: everything you enter stays on your
device and in backups you choose to keep. We run no servers that receive
it, and we never see it.
Trackscribe has no accounts of its own and never asks for your name, email
address or any other contact details. It contains no ads, no analytics and
no tracking.
Information Stored on Your Device
The app stores the following on your device. It is never sent to us:
- The items you track: their name, type, store, start and end dates, price and currency, billing cycle, reminder times and notes
- Photos you attach to an item, such as a receipt or warranty card
- Your subscription budget, and subscriptions you add to your Considering list
- Your settings, such as your currency, reminder time, reminder sound, appearance and haptics
- Whether you have bought Trackscribe Pro
- Downloaded exchange rates and company logos, kept so they work offline
Camera and Photos
You can attach a photo to an item by taking one with your camera or choosing
one from your photos. The app only opens the camera or your photos when you
ask it to, and only uses the photo you pick. A copy of that photo is saved in
the app's own storage on your device. Photos are never uploaded by the app.
Reminders
Reminders are scheduled on your device by Android itself. They are not sent
from a server, and the app uses no push-notification service. Trackscribe
asks for permission to show notifications and to set alarms and reminders so
that they arrive on the right day and at the time you choose.
Information Sent From Your Device
Trackscribe connects to the internet for two things only. Neither request
includes the items you track, your notes, your photos or anything that
identifies you.
-
Exchange rates. To convert prices charged in other
currencies, the app downloads daily exchange rates from the free, open
currency-api
project, served through Cloudflare Pages and the jsDelivr network. The only
information sent is your chosen currency code, such as ZAR.
-
Company logos. To show a company's logo next to an item,
the app downloads it from
Logo.dev.
The only information sent is the company's website, such as netflix.com.
Each logo is downloaded once and then kept on your device. You can turn
this off in Settings → Company logos.
As with any connection on the internet, these services receive your
device's IP address to send the response back, and handle it under their
own privacy policies:
Backups
-
Automatic backup. If Google backup is turned on in your
device's settings, Android may include Trackscribe's data in your device's
backup to your Google account, as it does for most apps. That backup is
handled by Google, and we cannot see it. Downloaded logos are left out,
because they download again on their own.
-
Backup files. Settings → Export backup
creates a file with your items, photos, Considering list and settings, and
hands it to the place you choose, such as Google Drive, email or a
messaging app. The file is not encrypted, so keep it somewhere you trust.
It goes only where you send it. Import backup reads a file
you choose and restores it on your device.
In-App Purchases
Trackscribe Pro is a one-time purchase made through Google Play. The payment
is handled entirely by Google Play under Google's terms, and we never see
your card or other payment details. When the app opens, it asks Google Play
whether your Google account owns Pro, so that a purchase is restored on a new
device and a refunded one is removed. The app records on your device whether
you have Pro.
Permissions
- Camera: to photograph a receipt or warranty card, only when you choose to
- Photos: to attach a photo you choose
- Notifications: to show your reminders
- Alarms and reminders: so reminders arrive at the exact time you set
- Internet: for exchange rates, company logos and Google Play purchases
- Vibration: for reminders and the app's light taps
Trackscribe does not access your location, contacts, microphone or
Advertising ID.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not collect, store or receive your personal information.
- We do not sell or share any information about you.
- The app has no ads, analytics, crash reporting or tracking of any kind.
Data Retention and Deletion
- You can edit or delete any item in the app at any time.
- Uninstalling Trackscribe, or clearing its storage in your device's settings, removes everything it stored on your device.
- You can delete your device backups, including Trackscribe's, in your Google account under Google Drive → Backups.
- Backup files you exported are yours to keep or delete wherever you saved them.
Children's Privacy
Trackscribe is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do
not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app does
not collect personal information from anyone.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be
reflected by the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
