Privacy Policy — Expiry Date Tracker & Reminder

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This policy describes how the Android app Expiry Date Tracker & Reminder (package com.digitalshijil.expirytracker) handles your information.

The app is published by Digital Shijil LLC, 34 N Franklin Ave Suite 687-#5144, Pinedale, WY 82941, USA.

The short version

The app has no server. Nothing you type, photograph or scan is sent anywhere. There is no account, no sign-up and no subscription. Everything you add lives in the app's private storage on your own phone until you delete it. Two Google libraries inside the app send Google limited technical diagnostics, described under "Internet access" below.

What the app stores on your device

All of this stays on your phone and is visible only to this app:

• Items you add — name, category, expiry date, and optionally a quantity, a location like "fridge", and a barcode number.
• Warranties you add — the product name, the purchase date, the date the warranty ends, and optionally the shop you bought it from, a note such as a serial number, and a photo of the receipt.
• Photos you attach (item photos and warranty receipts) — chosen through the Android Photo Picker and copied into the app's private storage. The app has no permission to read your photo library; the picker hands over only the single image you select.
• Barcodes you name — if you scan a code the app does not recognise and then name the item, it remembers that pairing so the next scan is instant.
• Your settings — the hour you chose for the daily check, your reminder lead times, and the timestamp of the last successful check.

What the app does not do

• It does not create an account or ask for your name, email or phone number.
• It does not collect or use your location.
• It does not upload your items, your photos or your barcodes anywhere.
• It contains no advertising SDK and no crash-reporting SDK, and the app's own code collects nothing about how you use it. The only data that leaves the phone is the Google libraries' diagnostics described below.
• It does not sell or share your information, because it never receives it.

Internet access, and why the app lists that permission

If you inspect the app's permissions you will see INTERNET. The app's own code makes no network requests. That permission is added automatically by three Google components the app depends on:

• Google Play Billing connects to Google Play every time the app starts, to check whether you have already bought the one-time Pro unlock, and handles the purchase if you choose to buy. The app never sees your payment details. The library also logs technical diagnostics to Google, such as its version and any error codes.
• Google Play In-App Review — used only if you choose to leave a rating.
• Google ML Kit, which performs the barcode scan. The scan itself runs entirely on your device and no image is uploaded. When you use Scan, ML Kit sends Google diagnostics about the scanning feature: your device model and Android version, the app's name and version, performance measurements, error codes, and a per-installation identifier that is not linked to you or to your phone's advertising ID. Google uses it for diagnostics and usage analytics and does not pass it to third parties. It only happens if you use the Scan feature; the rest of the app works without it.

All of this is sent over an encrypted connection and is covered by Google's Privacy Policy.

Camera

The camera is used for one thing: reading a barcode when you tap Scan. Android asks your permission the first time, and the app never requests it at any other moment. No photo is taken, saved or transmitted during a scan — the camera feed is analysed frame by frame on your device and discarded. You can decline and type item names instead; every other feature keeps working.

Notifications

Reminders are delivered as local notifications generated on your phone by a scheduled background task. They are not push notifications and no server is involved. On Android 13 and later you may decline the notification permission; the app still works, but it cannot warn you before something expires, which rather defeats the purpose.

Payments

The optional Pro unlock is a single payment processed entirely by Google Play. The app never sees, handles or stores your card details, billing address or any other payment information. It only asks Google Play whether this Google account owns the unlock, which is also how your purchase is restored if you reinstall the app.

Household sharing

If you use household sharing, your item list is turned into a QR code shown on your screen or a file you save yourself. You pass that to the other phone however you choose. No copy is uploaded and no server is involved at any point.

Exporting and deleting your data

• Export — Settings → Export all my data writes a complete JSON file to a location you pick. Pro adds a CSV export. These files are yours; the app does not keep a copy.
• Delete — Settings → Delete all my data permanently removes every item, warranty, photo, receipt and saved barcode from the device in one tap. There is no account to close and no copy held anywhere else, so this is final. Your Pro unlock is not affected, because that is held by Google Play against your Google account, not by the app.
• Uninstalling the app also removes all of it.

Device backup

If you have Android's backup turned on, your items, photos and settings may be included in your own Google account backup so that a new phone keeps your list. That backup is between you and Google under Google's Privacy Policy; the developer has no access to it. You can exclude the app in your device's backup settings.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Your rights

Because the developer never receives your data, there is nothing to request, correct or erase from us — the export and delete controls in Settings give you complete access and complete deletion directly, at any time, without asking anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above changes with it, and any change that affects how your data is handled will also be described in the app's release notes.
