Privacy Policy

1. Counter data and local storage

Wasted does not require an account. Counter titles, selected dates and times, custom wording, appearance settings, and other counter parameters are used to provide the app and widget functionality and are stored locally on the device.

The developer does not include counter titles, custom wording, exact dates and times, counter or calendar event identifiers, or the N value used in the “+N days” mode in custom analytics events.

If the user exports a backup or a counter card and shares it through Android’s system Share menu, any further processing of that file is governed by the app or service selected by the user.

2. Calendar access

The event import feature uses the Android calendar read permission (READ_CALENDAR) only after a user action. Wasted reads calendar events available on the device in order to display them in the selection interface and to copy the selected event title and date/time once into a new counter.

Wasted does not create or modify calendar events, does not maintain calendar synchronization, and does not send calendar contents to the developer through its custom analytics events. Changing or deleting the source calendar event after import does not change the counter that was already created.

3. Notifications and operation after restart

At the user’s choice, Wasted may show system notifications at a selected time, including before a counter ends or at a custom date and time. For this purpose, the app may request the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission.

The permission to receive device restart events (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) is used to restore scheduled notifications after the phone restarts or the app is updated.

4. MyTracker analytics

Wasted uses the third-party MyTracker SDK for product analytics, measurement of feature usage, technical diagnostics, install attribution, and fraud prevention.

Depending on the Android version, available system services, device settings, and SDK configuration, MyTracker may process app launch and interaction information, technical information about the device and app, diagnostic data, network information, IP address, and technical device or app identifiers.

Wasted sends privacy-preserving feature usage events to MyTracker, for example when a counter is created, edited, or deleted, when a widget is added, when Preview mode is used, when notification settings are used, when a calendar event import succeeds, and when the relative “+N days” end-date mode is used. These events are intended to understand feature adoption and do not contain user-entered counter text or exact dates and times.

Automatic purchase tracking by MyTracker is not used in Wasted.

For more information, see the MyTracker Privacy Policy and MyTracker information for Google Play Data Safety.

5. Advertising ID and other identifiers

The Google Play version of Wasted includes support for the Google Advertising ID (GAID/AD_ID), which MyTracker may use for analytics and install attribution. The presence of this identifier does not mean that Wasted displays advertising.

The availability of the Advertising ID depends on Android settings and the user’s choices. If the system does not provide a valid advertising identifier, Wasted does not attempt to bypass that restriction.

6. Location

Wasted does not request Android permissions for precise or approximate location and does not use device location services. MyTracker may receive an IP address and use it to infer a general location in accordance with its policy and SDK configuration.

7. Sharing with third parties

Technical and analytics data may be transmitted to and processed by MyTracker as a third-party analytics service provider. The developer does not sell user data.

Wasted does not send calendar event contents, counter titles, custom wording, or exact dates/times to MyTracker through its custom analytics events.

8. Retention and deletion

Local counter data remains on the device until the user deletes the relevant counters, clears the app data, or uninstalls the app. Wasted does not use a cloud account to store counters.

Retention periods for technical and analytics data processed by MyTracker are determined by MyTracker’s terms and privacy policy. Questions about deletion or other processing of such data may be sent to the developer at the address below; where necessary, the request may be forwarded to the analytics provider.

9. Security and permissions

The app uses only the permissions needed for the functions described above: network access for MyTracker, calendar read access for user-initiated import, notifications, restoring scheduled notifications after restart, and Advertising ID support for MyTracker attribution where available.

Wasted does not request access to contacts, photos, videos, audio recordings, location, SMS, call logs, or payment information.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when Wasted features, connected SDKs, or distribution-platform requirements change. The current version is published on this page together with the date of the latest update.
