Quit Alcohol Privacy: What Stays on Your Device

Quit Alcohol is designed so the drink entries, calendar history, reminders, and personal settings you enter are stored locally on your device. The website does not operate an account system that uploads that personal log. That is a meaningful privacy boundary, but it is not the same as saying the entire app is offline or that local information can never be seen by anyone.

Understand what local storage means

Local storage means the personal tracking record lives in the app’s data on the phone rather than in a Quit Alcohol web account. You can begin without supplying an email, name, or public profile. The app does not need a social feed for the calendar to be useful. This reduces one kind of exposure, while leaving responsibility for device access and backups with the device environment.

Know the information in the local record

Entries can include the dates and drink counts you mark, the calendar history produced from them, reminder choices, targets, language or currency choices, and assumptions used for estimates. Treat the phone as containing sensitive information even though it is not uploaded to the website. Use a screen lock and avoid giving unlocked access to people who should not see the calendar.

Do not confuse local with completely offline

Firebase Analytics can process app-interaction and device information to help understand product use. RevenueCat processes purchase and entitlement information, and Google Play processes store transactions. These services do not need the words or daily drink entries you type to perform those roles, but they mean an accurate description must not promise that the app never communicates with a server.

Protect notification and shoulder privacy

A locally stored log can still be exposed through a visible screen, a lock-screen reminder, screen sharing, or someone using an unlocked phone. Review Android notification previews, close the app before handing over the device, and consider who can access device backups or settings. Privacy is partly product architecture and partly the physical and account security around the phone.

Plan before clearing or uninstalling

Because the tracking data is local, clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling can remove information from the device. Do not assume the Quit Alcohol website can restore a lost calendar through an account. Before changing phones or clearing storage, review the current product instructions and decide what information, if any, you want to preserve manually in a privacy-conscious way.

Read the current policy for current facts

Privacy practices and service details can change with a release. Use the effective date on the official privacy policy and the data-safety information on the confirmed Google Play listing rather than relying on an old review or screenshot. Contact the published support address with a specific question. A precise answer is more useful than broad labels such as “private” or “offline.”

A practical privacy check

• Use a device screen lock.
• Review lock-screen notification previews.
• Know who can access the unlocked phone.
• Read the current policy before clearing app data.
