Before I Leave ("the app", "we") is a pre-departure checklist app. We respect your privacy. Before I Leave has no user accounts and no app server — your checklists, items, and settings are stored only on your device. This policy explains the limited data processed by third-party services the app uses.
Data we process
- On-device data: your checklists, checklist items, completion states, reminders, and preferences are kept locally on your device and are not transmitted to us.
- Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics): aggregated, non-identifying usage and event data to understand how features are used and improve the app.
- Crash & error reporting (Sentry): diagnostic information when the app crashes or hits an error, used solely to fix bugs.
- Advertising (Google AdMob): if you do not purchase "Remove ads", AdMob may use a device advertising identifier to serve relevant ads. On iOS this only occurs with your permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt; if you decline, advertising tracking is not used.
- In-app purchases: the "Remove ads" purchase is processed by Apple/Google. We do not receive your payment details.
How data is used
Data is used only to operate and improve Before I Leave — to run the app on your device, measure usage in aggregate, diagnose crashes, and (unless you remove ads) show advertising. We do not sell your personal data.
Children
Before I Leave is designed for general audiences (13+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Third-party providers
For details on how these providers handle data, see Google (Firebase & AdMob) and Sentry privacy policies. Apple/Google handle in-app purchases under their own terms.
Your choices
- Decline ad tracking via the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt, or reset your advertising identifier in system settings.
- Purchase "Remove ads" to stop ad serving entirely.
- All checklist data can be deleted by uninstalling the app.
Changes
We may update this policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
