Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
TL;DR: We don't collect any data. Nothing. Zero. Your routines, your business.
Introduction
Ziggy Zag ("we", "our", or "us") operates the "i hate the routine" mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection—or rather, the lack thereof.
We built this app because we believe privacy should be the default, not a premium feature.
Information We Collect
None.
Seriously. The App operates entirely on your device. We don't collect:
- Personal information (name, email, etc.)
- Usage data or analytics
- Your routines or step configurations
- Timer history or completion rates
- Checklist items
- Device identifiers
- Location data
- Any other data whatsoever
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.
How Your Data Is Stored
All data you create in the App (your routines, custom steps, checklists, timer preferences, theme choices) is stored locally on your device only. This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is not transmitted to any server
- Is not backed up to any cloud service by us
- Is deleted when you delete the app
If you use iCloud Backup on your device, your App data may be included in that backup per your device settings—but this is between you and Apple, not us.
Apple Watch Sync
If you use the App on Apple Watch, your routine data syncs between your iPhone and Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. This sync:
- Happens directly between your paired devices
- Does not pass through any third-party servers
- Is managed entirely by Apple's secure protocols
We never see or have access to this data.
Watch complications also display routine data locally on your watch face using the same secure, on-device approach.
In-App Purchases
The App offers optional premium subscriptions and a lifetime purchase. All transactions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. When you make a purchase:
- Your payment information is handled by Apple, not us
- We do not receive your name, email, or payment details
- We only receive an anonymous transaction confirmation to unlock features
- Purchase history is stored locally on your device
For information about how Apple handles your payment data, please see Apple's Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We don't use:
- Google Analytics
- Facebook SDK
- Firebase
- Any advertising networks
- Any crash reporting services
- Any user behavior tracking
Notifications
The App may request permission to send local notifications during your routines. These notifications:
- Are generated and delivered entirely on your device
- Do not transmit any data to external servers
- Can be disabled at any time in your device's Settings
- Are only sent during active routines (no "come back!" reminders)
Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from any users, the App is safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change our privacy practices (we don't plan to), we will update this page with a new revision date. Any changes would only make our practices more privacy-friendly, never less.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect any personal data, there is no personal data for us to access, modify, export, or delete on your behalf. All your data is stored locally on your device and is fully under your control.
To delete all App data: simply delete the App from your device.
