  1. INTRODUCTION
    Welcome to AquaFlow Water Tracker (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are dedicated to respecting and protecting the privacy of our users (“you” or “user”). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information when you download, install, and use the AquaFlow Water Tracker mobile application (the “App”), identified by the package name com.homefarm.aquaflowwatertracker.

AquaFlow Water Tracker is built as an offline-first, privacy-by-design application. We believe that your health, wellness, and daily habits belong solely to you. As such, the App does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal information or health data with any external servers, third-party analytics services, or advertisers.

  1. INFORMATION WE PROCESS
    All data collected by AquaFlow Water Tracker is processed and stored strictly on your local device. We do not operate remote user databases or cloud synchronization servers.

A. Health, Body Metrics & Demographic Information:
To calculate a personalized daily water intake target, the App allows you to input:

  • Gender (used for basal metabolic hydration estimation)
  • Age (used for age-appropriate hydration baseline)
  • Weight and Height (used to calculate body surface area and fluid requirements)
  • Physical Activity Level (Sedentary, Moderate, Active, Very Active)
  • Weather / Climate Conditions (Normal, Hot, Cold)
    Purpose: This information is utilized solely on your device by our local formula to determine your recommended daily hydration goal (in milliliters or fluid ounces). It is never transmitted off your device.

B. Water Intake & Daily Activity Logs:
When you log drinks throughout the day, the App stores:

  • Drink Type (Water, Coffee, Tea, or custom fluid)
  • Fluid Volume (in ml or fl oz)
  • Timestamp of the consumption entry
    Purpose: This data is used solely to calculate your daily progress percentage, display hydration score (0-100), maintain your hydration streak, and populate your local Timeline and History logs.

C. User Preferences & Settings:

  • Notification Settings: Reminder intervals (e.g., 60, 90, 120 minutes), active wake hours, and bedtime sleep window.
  • Ramadan Fasting Schedule: Optional Iftar (start) and Sehri (stop) reminder hours.
  • Display & Audio Preferences: Measurement units (milliliters vs. fluid ounces), sound effects toggle, visual theme mode (System Default, Light Mode, Dark Mode), custom cup sizes, and language preference.
  1. DEVICE PERMISSIONS AND HOW THEY ARE USED
    AquaFlow Water Tracker requests only the minimal system permissions necessary to deliver core habit-tracking features:
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13 / API 33 and higher): Allows the App to send scheduled local notification reminders to drink water during your active hours, and fasting reminders during Ramadan. You can toggle reminders on or off at any time within the App settings or via Android system notification settings.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Android operating systems clear scheduled alarms when the device is rebooted. This permission allows our local ReminderReceiver to re-register your preferred reminder schedule with Android’s AlarmManager after your phone restarts. This permission does not access any personal data or background device activity.
  • Quick Settings Tile (QuickAddTile / BIND_QUICK_SETTINGS_TILE): Allows you to add a “+250 ml” Quick Settings tile to your Android notification shade, allowing one-tap water logging without opening the full application interface.
  • No Internet Permission: AquaFlow Water Tracker does not declare or request the Android INTERNET permission in its manifest. The App does not possess the technical capability to connect to the internet, make HTTP requests, or upload your data to any remote server.
  1. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, SDKS & ADVERTISING
  • Zero Advertising SDKs: AquaFlow Water Tracker does not include third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, or Meta Audience Network). We do not display third-party advertisements or track you across apps and websites.
  • Zero Analytics SDKs: We do not embed third-party analytics or behavioral tracking tools (such as Google Analytics for Firebase, Flurry, Adjust, or AppsFlyer).
  • Zero Crash Reporting SDKs: We do not transmit crash dumps, device diagnostics, or telemetry to external reporting platforms.
  • External Links (User-Initiated Only):
  • Rate Us: When you tap “Rate on Google Play,” the App opens an explicit system intent directly to the Google Play Store app or website.
  • Send Feedback: When you tap “Send Feedback,” the App opens your device’s default email client addressed to our support inbox (support@aquaflowtracker.com). No email is sent automatically.
  • Share AquaFlow: When you tap “Share,” the Android system share sheet is displayed, allowing you to share a pre-composed plain-text progress snippet via an app of your choice.
  1. DATA STORAGE, SECURITY & RETENTION
  • Storage Location: All data is stored within your device’s private application sandbox using Android SharedPreferences. Android operating system security mechanisms prevent other applications on your device from accessing this data.
  • Data Retention: Data is retained on your device for as long as you choose to keep the App installed.
  • Data Deletion: You have complete control over your data at all times:
  • In-App Reset: You can reset today’s water entries back to zero by tapping “Reset Today’s Water Records” in the Settings tab.
  • Recalibration: You can modify your body metrics or re-run the full onboarding wizard at any time via Settings -> Personal Body Profile.
  • Complete Deletion: You can delete all logs, goals, and stored preferences at any time by clearing the App’s data in Android System Settings (Settings -> Apps -> AquaFlow Water Tracker -> Storage & Cache -> Clear Storage / Clear Data), or by uninstalling the App from your device.
  1. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY (COPPA & GDPR-K COMPLIANCE)
    AquaFlow Water Tracker is designed for general audiences interested in daily hydration and wellness tracking. We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Google Play Families Policy. Because the App operates 100% locally and offline without user accounts or data transmission, we do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area).
  2. HEALTH & WELLNESS DISCLAIMER
    AquaFlow Water Tracker is an informational wellness and lifestyle tool created to assist healthy individuals in developing consistent hydration habits. It is NOT a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical software. The hydration recommendations provided by the App are general estimates and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or medical treatment. If you have medical conditions requiring fluid restriction or specialized hydration plans, always consult your physician or healthcare provider.
  3. GOOGLE PLAY USER DATA POLICY & DATA SAFETY COMPLIANCE
    In accordance with Google Play’s User Data and Data Safety policies:
  • No Data Collected Off-Device: In Google Play Console’s Data Safety questionnaire, you can declare that the App does not collect or share user data with external servers.
  • No Data Transferred in Transit: Because the App operates entirely offline, no user data is transmitted over a network connection.
  • Ephemeral and User-Controlled: All data handling is confined to on-device operations for local app functionality.
  1. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
    We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be reflected by the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and will be made accessible within the App’s Settings menu.
