Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how the Fakarni mobile application
(package net.todo.fakarni, the “App”) collects, uses, and protects information when you
use it on your Android device. Fakarni is a personal task and reminder manager developed by
Ahmed Nasser (the “Developer”, “we”, “us”).
1. Information We Collect
Fakarni is designed to be privacy-friendly. The App does not require an account, sign-in, or any personal identifier to use.
1.1 Data you create in the App
- The tasks, titles, notes, due dates, and reminder times you enter.
- App preferences such as language, theme, and filter settings.
This content is stored locally on your device only. It is not uploaded to our servers, and we have no ability to read it.
1.2 Diagnostic and usage data (Firebase)
The App uses Google Firebase services to keep the App stable and to understand how features are used in aggregate:
- Firebase Crashlytics — collects anonymous crash reports (stack traces, device model, OS version, app version) when the App crashes.
- Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous, aggregated usage events (e.g. screens viewed, features used) and standard device information (such as device model, OS version, language, country, and an Android Advertising ID where available, used solely for analytics).
- Firebase Performance Monitoring — collects anonymous performance metrics such as app startup time and network request durations.
These services are operated by Google. The data they collect is handled in accordance with Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. We do not link this data to your identity, and we do not sell it.
2. Permissions We Request
- Notifications (
POST_NOTIFICATIONS) — to show reminders for tasks you schedule. - Exact alarms (
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM/USE_EXACT_ALARM) — to deliver reminders at the exact time you choose. - Run at startup (
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) — to re-register your existing reminders after the device restarts so they still fire on time.
The App does not request access to your contacts, location, microphone, camera, photos, SMS, call logs, or files.
3. How We Use Information
- To provide the App’s core functionality (managing tasks and delivering reminders).
- To diagnose and fix crashes and performance problems.
- To understand which features are used so we can improve the App.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. The only third party that may receive diagnostic and usage data is Google (Firebase), as described above. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law.
5. Data Retention
Tasks and preferences remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data. Firebase diagnostic data is retained according to Google’s retention policies (typically up to 14 months for Analytics events and up to 90 days for Crashlytics records).
6. Children’s Privacy
Fakarni is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Security
Your task data is stored in the App’s private storage area on your device, which is protected by the Android operating system. Data sent to Firebase is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to safeguard information.
8. Your Choices and Rights
- You can delete any task at any time from within the App.
- You can uninstall the App to remove all locally stored data.
- You can opt out of Google Analytics for Firebase advertising features at the device level (Android Settings → Google → Ads → “Delete advertising ID”).
- Depending on your location (e.g. EEA, UK, California), you may have additional rights such as access, correction, or deletion of personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
9. International Data Transfers
Firebase services may process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. By using the App you consent to such transfers, which are protected by Google’s contractual and technical safeguards.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective date” at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
