Reminder — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 16 September 2026 App: Reminder (Android package md.csd.reminder) Developer contact: stason.k@gmail.com

Reminder is an alarm-style reminder app. It works entirely on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in, no advertising and no analytics. This page explains the little data the app touches and where it goes.

What stays on your phone

Everything you enter — reminder titles, notes, times, repeat patterns, ring names, the history of what rang and what you did about it, and the app's settings — is stored in a database on your device. It is never uploaded by the app. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

If you have Android's own backup of app data switched on, Android may include this data in the backup it keeps in your Google account. That is governed by Google's terms, not by this app, and you can turn it off in your phone's settings.

Backups you make yourself. The Backup screen writes a file to a location you pick with the system file picker (phone storage, Google Drive or any other app you have). The file is under your control from then on.

Speaking a reminder (voice dictation)

When you tap the microphone, the app hands the audio to your phone's speech-recognition service — on most phones that is Google's — through the standard Android speech interface. That service converts the audio to text and may process it on Google's servers; its handling of audio is described in Google's privacy policy. The app itself never records, stores or transmits audio.

The recognised text is interpreted on your phone, shown to you for confirmation, and saved only if you save the reminder. A short log of recognised sentences is kept on the device (Settings → Dictation log) so that recognition problems can be studied; you can view it, save it or leave it alone. It is never sent anywhere unless you choose to send it.

Microphone access is requested only when you tap the microphone.

Scanning a prescription or a note (photo to reminder)

You can create a reminder from a photo. The photo is taken by your phone's camera app or chosen from your files; Reminder does not have its own camera permission. Text is read from the photo on the device by a bundled text-recognition library. The photo is deleted from the app's temporary storage once it has been read, and nothing about it leaves the phone.

Sending feedback

Settings → Feedback lets you send a message to the developer. When you send it, the following is transmitted to the developer through the Web3Forms service (web3forms.com), which delivers it as an e-mail:

If you tick "Attach app diagnostics" (off by default, and reset after every message), the e-mail also contains the app's own records: your settings, which permissions are granted, your reminders with their names and times, the last rings and what you did about them, the alarms currently armed on the phone, and the last lines of the dictation log. Nothing else from the phone is read — Android does not let an app read the system log or other apps' data.

This is the only network request the app ever makes on its own, and it happens only when you press Send. The message is used to answer you and to improve the app, and is not shared with anyone else.

Permissions and why

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone.
