# Privacy Policy for Codex Resets Tracker

**Effective date:** September 18, 2026

Codex Resets Tracker ("the App", "we", "us") is developed by Root Studio. This
Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used,
and the choices you have. The App tracks and displays publicly announced
Codex usage-limit reset events; it does not require you to create an account.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at
**codex-resets@icodesign.me**.

## Summary

- No account or sign-in is required to use the App.
- We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos, precise
  location, or any payment information.
- We do not use advertising SDKs and we do not sell or share your
  information with third parties for advertising purposes.
- The only information sent off your device is (a) an anonymous installation
  identifier and your notification preferences, if and only if you turn on
  push notifications, and (b) anonymous, aggregated app-performance metrics.

## Information We Collect

### Information you choose to provide

If you tap "Send Feedback" in Settings, the App opens your device's own Mail
app with our support address (codex-resets@icodesign.me) and a subject line
pre-filled with the App's version, build number, and platform (e.g. "iOS
1.0.0 (12)"). Nothing is sent automatically — the message is only sent if you
write it and press Send in your own Mail app, and only the content you choose
to include is transmitted, directly from your device to our inbox. We use
this solely to respond to your feedback or support request, and retain it
only as long as needed to do so.

### Information collected automatically for push notifications (optional)

Push notifications are off by default. If you turn them on in Settings, the
App creates a random installation identifier (a UUID) and a separate secret
key. The secret is stored only in your device's secure keychain (iOS
Keychain / Android Keystore), marked "this device only" so it is never
included in device or iCloud/Google backups. To deliver notifications, the
App sends the following to our push notification server:

- The random installation identifier (not tied to your name or account)
- Your device platform (iOS/Android), app version, and build number
- Your device's language/locale setting
- The Android notification channel identifier (Android only)
- Your notification preferences (e.g. which reset types and predictions you
  want to be notified about)
- Your Expo push token, which is required to route notifications to your
  device

This data is used only to deliver the notifications you asked for and to
maintain your subscription preferences. If you turn notifications off, we
stop sending new push messages and the installation entry is no longer
actively used. Turning notifications off, or uninstalling the App, removes
the on-device identifier that links your device to this data. If you would
like us to delete a specific installation record on our server before then,
contact us with the request.

We do not use Apple's or Google's advertising identifiers, and the App does
not use App Tracking Transparency because it does not track you across other
companies' apps or websites.

### Diagnostic and performance data

The App uses EAS Observe (a service provided by Expo/650 Industries, Inc.)
to measure basic app-performance metrics, such as how long screens take to
load and become interactive. These metrics are tagged by screen/route name,
not by your identity, and are used only to help us find and fix performance
issues. This data is governed by Expo's own privacy policy, available at
<https://expo.dev/privacy>.

The App also uses Expo EAS Update to deliver over-the-air app updates, which
involves your device contacting Expo's update service and is likewise
covered by Expo's privacy policy.

### Information stored only on your device

The App stores reset-history data and your preferences locally in an
encrypted on-device database (SQLite with SQLCipher encryption) and standard
app storage. This local data is not transmitted to us and is deleted when
you uninstall the App.

### Information we do not collect

We do not collect your name, email address (unless you email us), phone
number, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, microphone or
camera data, health data, or financial/payment information. The App has no
login or account system.

## How We Use Information

We use the information described above only to:

- Deliver push notifications you have opted into
- Diagnose and improve app performance and reliability
- Respond to feedback or support requests you send us
- Provide app updates

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build
advertising or tracking profiles.

## Sharing of Information

We do not sell your information. We share information only with the
service providers that help us operate the App:

- **Expo / 650 Industries, Inc.** — app updates (EAS Update) and performance
  diagnostics (EAS Observe). See <https://expo.dev/privacy>.
- **Our push notification server** — operated by us, used solely to deliver
  the notifications described above.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect
the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

## Data Security

We apply reasonable technical measures to protect information, including
transmitting data over HTTPS, storing local app data in an encrypted
database, and storing the push-notification secret in your device's secure
keychain rather than app storage. No method of transmission or storage is
completely secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately.

## Your Choices

- **Notifications:** Turn push notifications on or off at any time in the
  App's Settings, or in your device's system notification settings.
- **Deletion:** Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data and the
  on-device identifier used for push notifications. To request deletion of
  any related data retained on our server, email us at
  codex-resets@icodesign.me.
- **Access/correction:** Because the App does not maintain user accounts or
  profiles, most of your data lives only on your device, where you already
  have full access through the App itself.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or other regions with data protection
laws, you may have additional rights (such as access, correction, deletion,
or restriction of processing) over any data described in this policy;
contact us to exercise them.

## Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly
collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has
provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

## International Data Transfers

Our service providers (e.g. Expo) may process data on servers located in
countries other than your own. By using the App, you understand that
information may be transferred to and processed in such countries.

## Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will
be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above. Continued use of the
App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
