Small Start is developed and published by Firefly Software ("we", "us"). You can reach us at fireflysoftware1@gmail.com for any question about this policy or your data.
The app creates and stores the following locally, in its own private app storage. We cannot read it, and it is never transmitted to us:
The trial start date is additionally stored in the operating system's secure keychain so that reinstalling the app does not restart the trial. It contains a date only — no personal information.
Small Start uses RevenueCat to process and validate in-app purchases and subscriptions. This is the only third party the app communicates with. When you make a purchase, restore a purchase, or when the app checks whether your purchase is still active, RevenueCat receives:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Purchase and subscription status (which product, whether it is active, renewal and expiry dates) | To unlock the paid version and to restore it on a new device |
| An anonymous identifier generated by RevenueCat | To link a purchase to the same installation. It is not your name, email or Apple ID, and we cannot use it to identify you |
| Basic technical information about the app and device required by the purchase SDK (such as app version and platform) | To operate the purchase system |
| Three anonymous product counters: how many times the paid options screen was opened, how many routines have been created, and how many routine runs have been completed | To understand, in aggregate, whether the paid version is useful. These are counts only. They contain no routine names, step names, times or any other content you enter |
Payments themselves are handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see or receive your card details, billing address or Apple/Google account credentials.
Small Start does not display advertising and does not track you across other apps or websites. We do not sell or share your information with data brokers. The app does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission because it does not track.
Reminders are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device by the operating system. No reminder content is sent through a server, and we do not use push notifications. You can turn reminders off per routine inside the app, or revoke notification permission in your device settings at any time.
Small Start is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. The app requires no account and collects no personal information from any user.
Data stored on your device remains until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes your routines and history permanently; we hold no copy and cannot restore it.
Purchase records held by RevenueCat and by Apple or Google are retained according to their own policies and for as long as required for billing, tax and subscription management.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Because we hold no account and no directly identifying information, most of your data is under your own control on your device.
For anything relating to purchase records, write to fireflysoftware1@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. To help us locate the record, include the approximate purchase date and the store you purchased from.
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
