Day-by-Day Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 2026

Rod Software LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates the Day-by-Day app. This Privacy Policy explains what data Day-by-Day collects, how it is used, how consent choices work, and what options are available to you.

Contact: legal@rodsoftware.com

1. Scope

This policy applies to the Day-by-Day iOS app.

Day-by-Day does not require you to create an account or sign in to use the app.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Task and Preference Data Stored on Your Device

Day-by-Day is primarily a local-first app. Information you create in the app is stored on your device, including:

  • task text
  • completion status
  • sort order
  • created date
  • archived unfinished task text and archived date
  • app preferences such as theme, clock format, list behavior, and the last active day used for daily rollover

We do not operate a Rod Software backend that stores your task list.

2.2 Purchase and Entitlement Data

If you purchase or restore Premium, Apple provides purchase and subscription information needed to determine entitlement status, such as:

  • product identifier
  • entitlement state
  • expiration or renewal-related status
  • transaction verification results made available through StoreKit

2.3 Advertising, Consent, and Diagnostic Data

The free version of Day-by-Day includes advertising. The app uses Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform ("UMP") SDKs to show ads, manage privacy and consent flows, and support related diagnostics.

These third-party SDKs may collect or process categories such as:

  • device identifiers
  • advertising data
  • product interaction data
  • coarse or approximate location derived from network or device signals
  • crash data
  • performance data
  • other diagnostic data
  • privacy and consent choices

Day-by-Day does not request iOS precise location permission, and your task text is not used to personalize ads.

3. How We Collect Data

We collect data from:

  • you directly, when you create tasks, complete tasks, change settings, restore purchases, or use privacy controls
  • your device, to store tasks and preferences locally
  • Apple, through StoreKit and App Store services for subscription status and purchase restoration
  • Google SDKs integrated into the app, when ads are requested or privacy messages are shown

4. How We Use Data

We use data to:

  • provide the core to-do list experience
  • save your tasks and preferences on your device
  • support daily rollover and optional import of unfinished items from the prior day
  • determine Premium entitlement and restore purchases
  • show ads in the free version of the app
  • present and honor privacy choices where required
  • measure reliability, performance, and diagnostic health of ad and consent flows
  • support customer service and troubleshooting

We do not use your task text to build advertising profiles.

5. App Permissions and Privacy Controls

5.1 Tracking Permission

If required for your device or region, Day-by-Day may show Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you allow tracking, advertising partners may use permitted device-level identifiers for ad-related purposes. If you deny tracking, the app still works.

5.2 Privacy Choices

Where required by law or platform rules, Day-by-Day provides an in-app "Privacy Choices" entry point in Settings so you can review or update certain advertising and consent preferences.

5.3 Other Device Permissions

Day-by-Day does not request camera, microphone, photo library, contacts, calendar, health, or precise location permission.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share your task text with advertisers or data brokers.

Advertising-related identifiers, consent data, and similar SDK-generated data may be processed by Google Mobile Ads and Google UMP when ads are shown or privacy messages are managed. Depending on the jurisdiction, some ad-technology disclosures may be treated as "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable law.

We may share data with service providers only as needed to operate the app:

  • Apple, for in-app purchases, subscription validation, and purchase restoration
  • Google Mobile Ads and Google UMP, for advertising, consent management, diagnostics, and related measurement

When we use service providers to operate the app, we do so only for the relevant service and expect those providers to protect data in a manner consistent with applicable law, platform requirements, and their published obligations.

Where required, the app provides consent or privacy-choice controls intended to let you review or limit those ad-related uses.

7. Retention and Deletion

7.1 Local App Data

Your tasks, archived unfinished items, and app preferences remain on your device until you delete them, reset them through normal app use, or remove the app from your device.

Examples:

  • deleting a task removes it from local storage
  • dismissing archived unfinished items clears that local archive
  • deleting the app removes local app data from the device, subject to iOS behavior and backups you control

7.2 Subscription Data

Subscription and purchase records are also maintained by Apple under Apple's own policies. Day-by-Day uses StoreKit entitlement information available on the device to determine Premium status.

7.3 Advertising and Consent Data

Advertising, consent, and related diagnostic data handled by Google SDKs are retained according to Google's systems and policies, not a Day-by-Day backend controlled by us.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

  • manage or delete tasks directly in the app
  • change privacy choices in the app through Settings when the option is available
  • change tracking permission in iOS under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
  • manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account subscriptions settings
  • contact us with privacy questions or requests at legal@rodsoftware.com

Because Day-by-Day does not maintain user accounts or a Rod Software backend copy of your task list, our ability to fulfill access, correction, or deletion requests is limited to data we actually control.

9. Children

Day-by-Day is a general-audience app and is not directed to children as a kids-only service or Kids Category app.

10. Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to reduce risk, including relying on platform-provided protections, local on-device storage, and encrypted network transport where the app communicates with Apple or Google services.

No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to limit unnecessary data collection and exposure.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, update the in-app or public policy link.
