🔒 Your data stays yours. Baby Tracker does not collect, store, or share your personal data on any server we own or operate.
📱 All information you enter is saved only on your device or in your own Google Drive account — and nowhere else.
Baby Tracker ("the App", "we", "our") is a private baby-care logging tool for parents and caregivers. This Privacy Policy explains what permissions the App requests, what data stays on your device, and what minimal information third-party services may process on our behalf.
By using Baby Tracker, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.
The table below describes every type of data the App handles and its storage location.
| Data Type | Examples | Stored Where |
|---|---|---|
| Baby profile | Name, date of birth, gender, photo | On-device only |
| Tracking records | Feedings, diapers, sleep sessions, growth measurements, milestones, medications, vaccines | On-device only |
| Photos | Baby photos attached to records | On-device only |
| Backup data | Encrypted export of all records (when Drive backup is enabled) | Your Google Drive |
| Care group data | Invite code, caregiver list (when sharing with family) | Google Firebase (Firestore) — see §4 |
| Authentication token | Google Sign-In token for Drive access | On-device only |
| Analytics / crash logs | App crash stack traces (no personal data) | Firebase Crashlytics — see §4 |
| Ad identifiers | Device advertising ID (when ads are shown) | Google AdMob — see §4 |
| Your baby's personal details | Health data, diary notes | Never sent to our servers |
ℹ️ We do not operate any proprietary servers that store your personal or baby-care data. Your data lives on your device and, optionally, in your own Google Drive.
Baby Tracker uses the following third-party SDKs and services. Each provider's privacy policy governs how they handle data.
When you enable Drive backup:
✅ The App creates a dedicated folder inside your Google Drive ("Baby Tracker Backups").
✅ Your records are exported and saved as files in that folder — only accessible to your Google account.
✅ We use the drive.file scope, which restricts our access to files the App itself created. We cannot read any other files in your Drive.
✅ You can delete the backup folder from Google Drive at any time. This does not affect data on your device.
❌ We do not download, read, or store copies of your Drive backup files on any server we operate.
The optional Group feature lets a primary caregiver (owner) invite others (guests) to view baby records.
When this feature is used, the following data is stored in Firebase Firestore (not on our own servers):
• A randomly generated invite code
• Google account UIDs and display names of group members
• FCM device tokens (to deliver join-request notifications)
Baby health records, feeding logs, and diary entries are never stored in Firestore. Guests synchronise records via the owner's Google Drive backup, which only the owner's Google account can access.
You can leave or dissolve a group at any time from the Group Management screen; this removes all associated Firestore data.
Baby Tracker is designed for use by parents and caregivers, not by children. The App records data about infants but is operated by adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. All baby-care data entered into the App stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.
If you believe a child has inadvertently provided personal information through any channel, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly address it.
Because all sensitive data is stored on your device or in your Google Drive, security is governed primarily by:
• Your device's screen lock and encryption settings
• Your Google account's password and two-factor authentication
We strongly recommend enabling device encryption and using a strong Google account password. We cannot access your device's local storage or your Google Drive, so we cannot recover data on your behalf if your device is lost.
Local data: Retained until you uninstall the App or manually delete records within the App.
Google Drive backups: Retained until you delete the backup folder from your Google Drive.
Firestore group data: Retained until you leave or dissolve the care group. You may request manual deletion by contacting us.
Crashlytics data: Retained by Firebase for 90 days per their standard policy.
To delete all your data: uninstall the App, remove the "Baby Tracker Backups" folder from Google Drive, and leave any active care group before uninstalling.
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable law (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) including the right to access, correct, or delete data we process. Because we do not collect or store your personal or health data on our own servers, most of these rights are exercised directly:
• Access / export: Use the in-app Export feature or access your Google Drive backup files directly.
• Deletion: Delete records in the App, remove Drive backups from Google Drive, or uninstall the App.
• Opt out of personalised ads: Go to your device Settings → Google → Ads → "Opt out of Ads Personalisation".
For any request related to Firestore group data or Crashlytics, contact us at the email below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, provide an in-app notice.
Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
