Kitto Privacy Policy
Kitto (formerly Days Without) is an Android app that counts days without a bad habit. It is developed by xtreme_ as an individual.
In short
Everything you enter stays on your phone. The app shows no ads and does not sell data. To understand what to improve, it sends anonymous usage statistics without habit names or personal data. You can turn them off in settings. Kitto Pro purchases go through Google Play.
What data is stored
- Counters: name, emoji, color, chosen preset, “my reason”, daily spending and daily amount if you entered them.
- Attempts: start and relapse date and time, time zone, a relapse note if you wrote one, and reached milestones.
- Settings: app theme, color scheme and app icon, whether onboarding was completed, whether reminders and milestone notifications are on, the reminder time, whether the notifications prompt was already shown, whether statistics are on, how many counters are free, whether the Kitto Pro offer was already shown, how many times and when the app asked you to rate it on Google Play, and for each home screen widget, which counter it shows and whether to show the name.
This data lives in the app’s storage on your device. The developer has no access to it.
Notifications
The app can send a daily reminder at the time you choose and a notification on milestone days (1, 3, 7 days and on). The app creates these notifications on your phone on an Android schedule. There is no notification server; nothing arrives from the internet or is sent there.
A notification may contain a counter’s name and its number of days. Android may show them on the lock screen; you can hide their content in Android notification settings.
On Android 13 and later, notifications need your permission. The app asks once, after you create your first counter, and explains why first. You can turn reminders and milestone notifications off in the app’s settings or in Android.
For scheduling, the app uses the Android WorkManager library. It adds service permissions: starting after the phone reboots, so a reminder is not lost, briefly keeping the phone awake while a task runs, and viewing network state.
Anonymous statistics
To understand where people struggle, the app sends usage events to the PostHog analytics service, on a server in the European Union. For example: which onboarding screen is open; a counter was created, from which preset, and how many there are; a relapse was marked and after how many days; a milestone was reached; the app was opened, sent to the background, or opened from a notification; the Kitto Pro offer was shown or closed, a purchase was made; a color scheme or icon was chosen (which one); a widget was added (which one, and the preset of its counter); the app asked for a Google Play rating (after which milestone, and which time).
Each event carries the app and Android version, phone model, language and a random installation ID. The ID is created on first launch and is not linked to your name, account or phone number. The country is derived from the IP address; the address itself is not stored.
The app never sends your habit names, “my reason”, notes, dates, spending amounts or advertising ID.
You can turn statistics off in Settings → Anonymous statistics. After that the app sends nothing. The installation ID is deleted together with the app or its data. PostHog processes events on the developer’s behalf, does not use them for advertising and keeps them for no longer than a year.
Kitto Pro purchases
Kitto Pro is bought through Google Play: Google takes the payment, and neither the app nor the developer sees your card details. To check whether you have Pro, the app uses the RevenueCat service. It receives the purchase details from Google Play (which plan, when it was bought and until when it is active, the purchase token), the app and Android version, phone model, store country and a random installation ID created by RevenueCat. Your name, email address and advertising ID are not shared. RevenueCat processes this data on the developer’s behalf, only to unlock Pro and keep track of purchases.
Statistics (see above) receive only where the Pro offer was shown, the chosen plan and whether it started with a free trial, without the price or currency. If you start a free trial, the app reminds you two days before it ends; the notification is created on your phone like the others. You can cancel the subscription in Google Play: Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
Google Play rating
Sometimes, after congratulating you on a milestone, the app asks Google Play to show its rating window: no more than once every three months and no more than three times in total. Google Play decides whether to show it. Google receives your rating and review under its own terms; the app and the developer cannot see whether you rated the app or how. Reviews are public on the Kitto page in Google Play.
Android backup
If Google backup is turned on, Android may include the app’s data in your backup and restore it on a new device. This is controlled by Google and your Android settings, not by the app; the developer cannot see these backups. You can turn it off in Android Settings → System → Backup.
What the app does not do
- It does not request access to contacts, location, camera or files.
- It shows no ads and uses no advertising IDs.
- It does not sell data or share it for advertising.
Deleting data
Deleting a counter in the app removes it with its whole history. Uninstalling the app or using “Clear data” in Android settings removes everything at once.
Children
The app is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data about them.
Changes
If the app starts handling data differently (for example, sync), this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date above will change.
