Privacy Policy
Transparency and privacy first. Learn how the 5 Day Autophagy app respects and protects your personal health and fasting journey.
Introduction & Scope
Welcome to 5 Day Autophagy ("we", "our", or "the App"), developed by Suraj Sahani (MartialCoder). We are firmly committed to protecting the privacy and personal health information of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles user data when you download, install, and use 5 Day Autophagy.
By using 5 Day Autophagy, you agree to the minimal and transparent practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect (and Do Not Collect)
5 Day Autophagy is built with a strict privacy-by-design architecture:
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, physical addresses, or financial information.
- Local Fasting & Tracker Data: When you start a fast, log milestones, track hydration, or record journal notes, all data is stored exclusively in your device's private internal storage sandbox using Android local mechanisms. None of this data is transmitted to our servers or any cloud database.
- No Precise Location Data: The App does not request, track, or access your GPS or precise location data.
- No Biometric Data: The App does not collect or process your fingerprints, face scans, or health sensor telemetry.
Device Permissions and Usage
The App only requests standard Android operating system permissions strictly essential for user-requested functions:
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used solely to alert you when you reach designated fasting milestones (such as Ketosis, Autophagy onset, Deep Autophagy phases) or scheduled reminder alarms. You may disable notifications at any time via Android system settings.
- Exact Alarms / Schedule Exact Alarm: Used to trigger local notifications precisely when your fasting timer reaches specific hour goals.
Third-Party Services and Analytics
We believe health and wellness tracking should remain private. Accordingly:
- We do not include third-party advertising SDKs or data broker tools.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade any user information for commercial or marketing purposes.
- Any potential crash diagnostics provided by Google Play Console are aggregated, anonymized, and managed according to Google's Privacy Policy.
Medical & Health Disclaimer
Data Storage, Retention & Deletion
Because all user data is stored locally on your device:
- Retention: Your data remains on your device for as long as the App is installed.
- Deletion: You can delete all data at any time by clearing the App's storage via Android Settings > Apps > 5 Day Autophagy > Storage > Clear Data, or simply by uninstalling the application.
Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
5 Day Autophagy is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect or solicit any data from children. If you believe that a minor has provided data or is using prolonged fasting protocols, please contact us immediately so appropriate steps can be taken.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect application improvements or legal obligations. Any modifications will be posted directly to this public web page with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this page periodically.
