Privacy policy

Hinata · effective 13 November 2026

In short: Hinata collects nothing. Everything you put in it stays on your device, and no one, including us, can see it.

What Hinata stores

The tracks, captured thoughts, steps and settings you create. They're stored only in the app's private storage on your device.

What leaves your device

Nothing. Hinata has no internet access: it doesn't ask Android for the network permission, so it can't send data anywhere. There's no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no third-party code that collects data.

Hinata also opts out of Android's automatic cloud backup, so your data isn't copied to a backup service either.

Permissions

Notifications: to show the optional evening nudge about steps still pending. The nudge is scheduled on your device and never sent from a server.
Run at startup: to set the nudge up again after your phone restarts.
Vibration: for the small tap you feel when you take a step.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling Hinata, or clearing its storage in Android's settings, deletes all of your data permanently. Because nothing is stored anywhere else, there's nothing more for us to delete.

Children

Hinata collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
