Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 3, 2026
Track ("the app", "we", "us") is developed by Ashtec Apps. This policy explains what data Track collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. Track was built around a simple principle: your goals, habits, books, and expenses are yours, so almost everything stays on your device.
The data you create in the app
Every goal, task, habit, book, reading log, and expense you add, along with any photos you attach to a goal or book, is stored in a local database on your device. None of it is sent to us or to any server we operate. Track doesn't have a backend, so there is nothing on our end that could be lost, leaked, or requested.
Your profile name, photo, and currency preference work the same way: stored locally, never transmitted.
Google Drive backup (optional, Premium)
If you choose to turn on Google Drive backup, a copy of your local database and settings is uploaded to a hidden, app-private folder in your own Google account (Google calls this the appDataFolder). It isn't visible in your regular Google Drive file list, and Ashtec Apps never has access to it, only your signed-in Track app does.
You can delete a backup at any time from inside the app, or remove it entirely by revoking Track's access from your Google Account. See Delete Your Data for the exact steps.
Purchases
Premium is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Google Play Billing (or Apple's App Store on iOS). Track never sees or stores your payment card details, only a confirmation from the platform that the purchase went through.
Analytics and crash reports
Track uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (both Google services) to understand which features are used and to catch bugs before they affect more people. This can include anonymized usage events (like which screen you opened), your device model and OS version, app version, and crash logs. It does not include the content of your goals, tasks, habits, books, or expenses.
This data is processed by Google under its own privacy terms. You can read more about how Firebase handles data on Google's Firebase privacy and security documentation.
Permissions Track may ask for
- Camera / Photos, only when you choose to attach a photo to a goal or book.
- Notifications, only for habit reminders you set yourself.
- Biometrics / device credential, only if you turn on System Lock. Verification happens entirely through your device's own operating system. Track never sees or stores your fingerprint, face data, or PIN.
What we don't do
- We don't show ads or use ad-tracking SDKs.
- We don't sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
- We don't require an account or ask for your data to use the free tier of the app.
Data retention and your choices
Your data lives on your device for as long as you keep the app installed, or until you delete it yourself. A Google Drive backup persists until you delete it. Uninstalling the app doesn't remove that backup automatically, since it's designed to survive a reinstall. Full instructions are on the Delete Your Data page.
Children's privacy
Track is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
