Methodly

Privacy Policy

App Name: Methodly

Effective Date: June 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Methodly ("we," "our," or "the App") manages and protects the information of its users. Methodly is a goal-setting and routine-management app (Mandalart, Kanban, Backlog, and Time-Blocking). We respect your privacy and are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policies and the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. No Collection of Personal Information

The App does not require any user registration or login. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number. Your goals, tasks, and routines are stored locally on your own device.

2. Data We Collect and How We Collect It

To provide reliable service, keep the App stable, and improve app quality, the following types of non-identifying data may be collected automatically:

  • Device Information: Device model, operating system (OS) version, and language settings.
  • Usage Data: App launch frequency, feature interaction, and navigation patterns (Firebase Analytics).
  • Crash Data: Diagnostic and error reports generated when the App crashes (Firebase Crashlytics).
  • Advertising Identifiers & Cookies (IDFA/IDFV, Google Advertising ID): Device advertising identifiers and similar technologies (cookies, SDK identifiers) used by our advertising partner to serve and measure ads.
3. Your Data Is Stored Locally

All content you create — including goals, Mandalart charts, tasks, and routines — is stored only on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers and is not accessible to us.

4. Data Security and Transmission

We prioritize the security of your data. All data transmitted between the App and our trusted third-party service providers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, such as HTTPS (TLS/SSL), to prevent unauthorized access.

5. Purpose of Data Usage

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Service Optimization: To provide services tailored to the user's environment (e.g., language settings).
  • Stability: To analyze app errors and ensure stable service operation through crash reporting.
  • Advertising & Analytics: To display advertisements that support the free version of the App and for statistical analysis of ad effectiveness.
6. Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell your personal information. To operate the App, we rely on trusted third-party platforms that may process device and usage data on our behalf or as independent controllers for advertising:

7. Advertising, Cookies & Your Choices

The free version of the App displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. Our advertising partner uses cookies, device advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads — including ads based on your prior activity — and to measure their performance. You can control this at any time:

  • Opt out of ad personalization: Google Ads Settings
  • iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking > Toggle off "Allow Apps to Request to Track".
  • Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization (or reset your Advertising ID).
App Tracking Transparency (ATT): On iOS, the App will ask for your permission before using your device identifier (IDFA) for personalized advertising. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized.
8. EEA & UK Users — Consent for Ads (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we use Google's certified consent management platform (UMP) to request your consent before any cookies or identifiers are used for personalized advertising. You may choose personalized ads, non-personalized ads, or withdraw or change your consent at any time through the in-app privacy options. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

9. Retention and Deletion of Data

Since the App does not store PII, there is no personal account data to delete. Any data stored locally on your device will be permanently deleted when the App is uninstalled. Data processed by third-party providers is retained according to their respective privacy policies.

10. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 14.
