Anımsa — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 August 2026

1. Who we are

Anımsa is published by an independent developer. Contact: dogukanka95@gmail.com

2. What we process

Reminder text

To turn a sentence such as "dentist tomorrow at three" into a date and time, we send it to our server (animsa-parse.netlify.app) and from there to Google's Gemini model. The only things sent alongside it are your time zone, your device's current local date and time, and the name of the day — all needed to work out which day "tomorrow" is.

If the model asks a follow-up question ("at what time?"), the last few turns of that short exchange are included to preserve context.

The text is not stored or logged on our server. It is discarded as soon as the request is answered. Our Gemini access is on a paid tier; under Google's terms, paid-tier input and output are not used to train models.

Reminders you add or edit by hand never reach the server at all — those screens do not call the model.

Device identifier

On first launch the app generates a random number, stores it on your phone and attaches it to parsing requests. We use it solely to enforce a daily request limit (to cap cost). It is not your phone's hardware identifier, it is not linked to your identity, and it disappears when you uninstall the app.

Your calendar

If you grant permission, we only read your device's calendar events so they can appear in the same list as your reminders. We never write to or delete anything in your calendar.

Calendar data never leaves your device: it is not sent to our server, to the parsing model, or anywhere else. You can revoke the permission at any time in system settings.

Your reminders

Reminders you create are kept in a database on your phone. If you have not turned sync on, we hold no copy. On Android, if device backup is enabled, this database may be included in your Google account backup; that backup is under Google's control.

Account and sync (optional)

The app works without an account, and every feature is available without signing in. Only if you turn on cross-device sync under Settings → Sync is an account created, and from that point on:

• You sign in with Google or Apple. Firebase Authentication then holds your email address, your display name if provided, and a user identifier. (If you choose "Hide My Email" with Apple, Apple does not give us your real address.)
• Your reminders themselves — title, note, time, repeat rule, place and tags — are stored in our database so they can be synced between your devices.
• A random device identifier is kept so we can tell which device a change came from.

This data is reachable only with your own session; records are tied to your account identifier. Turning sync off stops further changes from being sent. You can permanently delete your account and every reminder on the server from inside the app: Settings → Sync → Delete account and data.

Advertising

The app shows a single bottom banner through Google AdMob, which uses your device's advertising identifier for this purpose.

• In the EU and the UK, Google's consent screen is shown for ad personalisation; you can change your choice under Settings → Ad preferences in the app.
• On iOS the system tracking permission prompt is also shown. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", the app works exactly the same and ads are not personalised.

Usage and crash data

We measure crashes and which screens are used via Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics. The text of your reminders is not included in these measurements. You can turn this off under Settings → Crash and usage reports.

Notifications

Reminder notifications are scheduled entirely on your phone; nothing is sent to a server for them. The app also subscribes to a channel for announcements about new features. You can turn announcements off under Settings → Announcement notifications without affecting your reminders.

3. Purposes and legal bases

4. International transfers

The services we rely on run on servers outside Türkiye:

• Google (Gemini, Firebase, AdMob) — parsing, measurement, notifications and advertising.
• Netlify — the server that handles parsing and sync requests.
• Neon — the database holding your reminders while sync is on.

The data listed in section 2 is therefore transferred abroad. If you do not accept this, please do not use the parsing feature — you can still add reminders manually, which never contacts the server.

5. Retention

• Text sent for parsing: not stored on the server.
• Your reminders while sync is on: kept on the server until you delete them or close your account. When you delete a reminder its content is removed immediately; only a "this record was deleted" marker remains, and that marker is cleared after at most 90 days once your other devices have seen it.
• Your account details: until you delete your account.
• Daily request counter: a number kept per device identifier, reset every day.
• Your reminders and calendar preferences: kept on your phone until you delete them or uninstall the app.
• Crash and usage data: retained for the periods Google defines for Firebase.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask whether your personal data is processed, to obtain a copy, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data deleted, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent.

If you have not turned sync on, we hold no record that could identify you: uninstalling the app deletes everything kept on your device.

If you have turned sync on, you can exercise your right to erasure in one step from inside the app: Settings → Sync → Delete account and data. It permanently deletes every reminder on the server, your account, and the copy on this device. For any request, write to dogukanka95@gmail.com.

7. Children's privacy

Anımsa is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.

8. Changes

This policy may be updated. If it is, the "last updated" date on this page changes; for significant changes we will also announce it in the app.
