Privacy Policy for Don't Forget Why

Last updated: February 2026

Don't Forget Why is built by Zerenn as a personal project. This policy explains how the app handles your data.

Data Collection and Storage

Don't Forget Why does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All app data — including alarms, timers, reminders, game scores, and settings — is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. Your data never leaves your phone.

Internet Usage

The app optionally connects to the internet for two features only:

• Trivia questions via the Open Trivia Database API (opentdb.com)
• Riddles via a public riddle API (riddles-api.vercel.app)

These connections are read-only and do not transmit any personal information. Both features work offline using built-in content.

Third-Party Services

The app does not use analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or any third-party tracking services.

Permissions

The app requests the following Android permissions:

• Notifications — to deliver alarm, timer, and reminder alerts
• Exact Alarms — to fire alarms at precise times
• Display Over Other Apps — to show alarm screens on the lock screen

These permissions are used solely for core app functionality.

Children's Privacy

The app does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes

This policy may be updated occasionally. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
