📄 Privacy Policy for fDuty
Effective Date: 02 July 2026
Company: FlameSoft
Welcome to fDuty ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information and app data are collected, used, and safeguarded when you use the fDuty mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide you with a seamless attendance and wage-tracking experience:
Locally Stored Data: By default, all your attendance records, work hours, overtime, daily wage configurations, and currency preferences are stored securely on your device's local storage using a local database.
Account Information: If you choose to enable Cloud Sync/Backup using Google Sign-In, we collect your basic profile information (Name, Email Address, and Profile Picture) provided by Google.
Advertising & Device Data: We use third-party advertising providers (such as Google AdMob) to support our app. These services may automatically collect your device's Advertising ID, IP address, device type, and usage data to serve relevant advertisements.
App Usage & Crash Data: We may collect anonymous diagnostic data (such as crash logs) to help us fix bugs and improve app performance.
2. Device Permissions
To function correctly, fDuty requests the following permissions:
Notifications: We require notification permissions to send you personalized daily reminders to mark your attendance (e.g., "Time to Update!"). You can modify or disable these alerts at any time in the app settings.
3. How We Use Your Data
The data we collect is used strictly for the following purposes:
To calculate your estimated monthly earnings and generate performance summaries.
To personalize your experience (e.g., addressing you by your first name in notifications).
To securely back up your data to the cloud (only if Google Sign-In is authorized by you) so you can restore it if you change your device.
To deliver non-intrusive advertisements to keep the app free for users.
To improve the app's stability and user interface.
4. Third-Party Advertising
fDuty uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies or unique device identifiers to serve ads based on your previous usage of this app and other apps/websites.
Users may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting their Google Ads Settings or device settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third parties. Your data is only shared with trusted third-party service providers strictly for functionality:
Google Firebase: For authentication and secure database cloud hosting.
Google AdMob: For serving advertisements. These providers are bound by strict data protection laws and have their own privacy policies.
6. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Cloud backups are secured using Google's Firebase infrastructure. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Your Rights & Data Deletion
You have full control over your data:
Local Data: You can clear your history or delete the app to wipe all locally stored data.
Cloud Data: If you have synced your data, you can contact us to request the complete deletion of your account and associated data from our servers.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
