Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Everygrid keeps your habits on your device. Turn sync on and they also live in a folder in your own Google Drive.
Everygrid does not collect your habit names, your day notes, or the days you marked.
What we do collect: crash reports, anonymous usage data, and — if you buy PRO and choose to give it — an email address. §4 lists every service that receives anything, and §6 is where you switch things off.
1. Who we are
Everygrid is made by an independent developer, Business ID 3496856-2. Write to us at support@everygrid.app.
2. What stays on your device
Your habits, the days you marked, your day notes, your reminder times and your settings live on the device you are using. If you have connected Google Drive, the app also keeps that Google account's email address on the device, so Settings can show you which account sync uses.
On Android, Everygrid keeps this out of Google's cloud backup and out of device-to-device transfer. On iPhone and iPad, the app's settings file is part of your ordinary iCloud or computer backup, which is Apple's default for the file every app keeps its preferences in.
3. Sync, and your own Google Drive
Sync is off until you turn it on in Settings.
Everygrid asks Google for one permission, drive.file, which Google classifies as non-sensitive. It reaches only the files the app itself created. Your documents, your photos and other apps' files sit outside it.
3.1 What gets written, and in what form
The app creates a folder called Everygrid in your Drive and writes plain JSON into it: your habits in one file, the days you marked and the notes you wrote in one file per year, and a small bookkeeping file listing the devices syncing this account.
These files are not encrypted. That is deliberate, and the trade runs both ways. You can open, read, copy, move and delete them with your own tools, and your record outlives the app. Anything that can read your Drive can also read them, Google included. If a particular thought is not one you want sitting in plain text in your Drive, leave it out of a note, or leave sync off.
Each installation makes a random identifier so your devices can tell each other apart and merge edits correctly. It is derived from nothing about you — not your hardware, not your phone number, not an advertising identifier — and it lives only inside your own Drive file.
Everygrid's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. What we collect
Four services receive anything at all. This is all of them.
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Sign-In | The Google account you pick | So sync can reach the folder it creates in your Drive |
| Sentry | Crash reports: where the crash happened, your app version, your device model and operating system, and what the app was doing beforehand | So a crash that hit you gets fixed |
| PostHog | Anonymous usage: which screens you opened, which features you used, counts as ranges, and a random per-install identifier | So we can see which parts of the app work |
| RevenueCat | Which product you bought and when, and the email address you may choose to give it | So PRO follows you between your devices |
Everygrid does not collect your habit names, your day notes, or the days you marked. Those go to your device and to your own Google Drive. The code that builds a crash report or a usage event has no way to accept them, so this holds by construction rather than by policy.
4.1 Crash reports
Crash reporting is on. An app that only hears about the crashes of people who volunteered them learns the wrong things about its own stability. Sentry stores these in the European Union and holds them for 30 days.
4.2 Anonymous usage data
On by default, and Settings → Privacy → Usage data turns it off (§6). An event records that a habit was created; the name stays on your device. Counts are ranges — "between 4 and 10 habits" rather than a number. PostHog stores this in the European Union.
Measurement that only a small self-selected group agrees to describes that group rather than the product. The switch is in Settings, and one tap turns it off.
4.3 Buying PRO, and the email
Apple and Google sell the paid tiers and collect your payment details directly from you, under your agreement with the store. Everygrid never sees your card, your billing address or your name.
Your purchase is recorded with RevenueCat. After you buy, the app offers to store an email address there, so a purchase made on one platform is recognised on the other. There is no Everygrid account — no password, no profile, and nothing the address unlocks. Skipping it leaves PRO working on the device you bought it on, and §6 removes it later.
It is separate from the Google account you may have connected for sync, and Everygrid does not copy one into the other.
5. What Everygrid does not do
- Everygrid shows no advertising and carries no advertising or attribution SDK. It earns money one way: people who want more than three habits pay for them.
- Everygrid does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and links nothing to third-party data for advertising.
- Everygrid does not sell your data, and does not share it for anyone else's advertising.
- Everygrid asks for no location, health or fitness data, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone or camera, and connects to no health source or wearable. The only permissions it requests are notifications, for reminders, and access to the files it creates in your Drive.
- Two Android permissions — use biometric hardware and use fingerprint hardware — appear in the build's permission list, which Google Play can show you. They arrive inside Google's own sign-in library, and nothing in Everygrid uses them.
Everygrid is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.
6. Your controls
Every one of these is inside the app, acts immediately, and needs no permission from us.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Usage data | Settings → Privacy | Stops all usage measurement (§4.2). Crash reports keep running. |
| Remove my email | Settings → Privacy | Clears your address from RevenueCat. Your purchase keeps working; it stops following you between platforms. |
| Stop syncing on this device | Settings → About my data | That device stops syncing. Every file in your Drive stays, and your other devices are unaffected. |
| Delete my Drive data | Settings → About my data | Deletes the habit files in your Drive, naming each one on screen. The folder and a small bookkeeping file are kept so your other devices can be told sync was turned off; deleting that folder is offered as a separate step. Your habits on your devices are untouched. |
| Withdraw access at Google | myaccount.google.com | Ends Everygrid's reach into your Drive. Google's own wording: "This doesn't delete your data on the app." The files stay where they are. |
| Delete the files yourself | Google Drive | They are your files. Support explains which file holds what, and why you should turn sync off first. |
Getting a copy. With sync on, your data already is a file you own: Settings → About my data → Open in Drive. You are never asked to pay to get your own data out. A dedicated Export a copy, without turning sync on, is planned for a later version.
Uninstalling removes the app and its copy on that device, and leaves your Drive files alone.
7. How long things are kept
Your Drive files stay until you delete them, like any other file you own. Local app data stays until you delete it or uninstall.
Sentry holds a crash report for 30 days. PostHog holds usage measurements while the product is running. RevenueCat holds your purchase for as long as it stands, and the email for as long as you leave it there.
One thing on your device runs on a clock: the Sync log, which records what each merge changed and is kept for 90 days. It is never uploaded.
Notes are the sensitive case, so here it is exactly:
"When two of your devices write different text on the same day's note, the device that merges them keeps the replaced text on itself — never uploaded — for up to 90 days, so you can put it back; if both devices sync, each keeps its own copy for that time. When you clear a note, Everygrid keeps no copy of the text: it goes from the device you cleared it on straight away, and from every other device as soon as that device syncs. Two things outside the app can still hold it for a while: Google Drive keeps its own earlier versions of the files we write, typically for about 30 days, and on iPhone and iPad a device backup made before you cleared the note holds whatever was on the device at the time, until that backup is replaced."
8. Children
Everygrid is for adults, and we declare an adult audience to both app stores. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
9. Your rights
If you are in the EU, the UK, or a US state with a privacy law, you have rights to access, correct, export and delete your personal data. The controls in §6 exercise all of them directly and immediately. For anything they do not cover, write to support@everygrid.app and we will answer.
Your habit files are in your own Google account, so your rights over them run against Google under your agreement with them.
Sentry, PostHog and RevenueCat process data on our instructions, under written data-processing agreements. If Everygrid were ever sold, our accounts with them would transfer with it.
10. Security
Everything Everygrid sends travels over HTTPS. Your Google sign-in token is held in the platform's own protected storage — the iOS Keychain, and Android's equivalent. The files in your Drive are plain JSON (§3.1), and the database on your device is not encrypted either. We have not been independently security-audited, and we do not claim to have been.
11. Changes
If we change this page we will change the date at the top. If a change alters what the app does with your data, we will say so in the app's release notes as well.
