Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Short version: Posture Aid doesn't collect your personal information. It has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and it sends nothing about you to us on its own. Your settings stay on your phone. The only way anything reaches us is if you choose to email us a problem report.
This policy covers the Posture Aid app for Android (package name app.postureaid). It explains what the app does on your phone and what it doesn't do.
What stays on your phone
Posture Aid saves the following locally, on your device only:
- Whether the reminder is on or off.
- Your schedule, meaning the days and times you picked.
- Any Wi-Fi network names you added to the optional Wi-Fi rules.
- The date your free trial started and your subscription status.
- A small diagnostic log of technical events, described under Problem reports below.
We never receive this information automatically. It isn't uploaded anywhere. The app also opts out of Android's cloud backup, so it isn't copied to your Google account backups. Uninstalling the app deletes it.
How the reminder works
The app reads your phone's motion sensor to tell whether the phone is lying face up. That reading is used right then to show or hide the reminder bar. It isn't recorded, saved or sent anywhere.
Permissions, and why we ask
| Permission | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Display over other apps | Showing the thin reminder bar on your screen. The bar never blocks your touches. |
| Notifications and foreground service | Keeping the reminder running reliably and showing its status notification. |
| Run at startup | Bringing the reminder back after you restart your phone. |
| Network and Wi-Fi state | Checking which Wi-Fi network you're on, so the optional Wi-Fi rules can work. |
| Location and nearby Wi-Fi devices | Android requires this permission before an app can read the name of your Wi-Fi network. Posture Aid asks for it only when you tap the button to add your current network. We don't collect or store your location. |
Subscriptions and payments
The app has a 7-day free trial, then a yearly subscription. The trial runs inside the app and needs no payment method. Purchases are handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card number or other payment details. Google may share limited purchase information with the app, such as whether your subscription is active, so we can unlock the features you paid for. Google's own privacy policy covers how it handles your payment data.
Problem reports
The app keeps a small diagnostic log on your phone, in storage only the app can read. It records technical events such as crashes, errors, billing status codes, and when the main switch is turned on or off. It doesn't record your location, your Wi-Fi network names, or anything you type. The log is capped at a small size, and it is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
The log is never sent automatically. If you choose Report a problem in the app menu, the app opens a draft email in your own email app, addressed to us. The draft includes the app version, your phone's make, model and Android version, your language setting, whether key permissions are on, your reminder settings, your subscription status, and the recent log. You can read and edit the draft, and nothing is sent unless you press send.
We use what you send only to answer you and fix the issue.
The share menu
The share button in the app header lets you send a friend a short message with a link to the app. It uses Android's normal share screen or copies the link to your clipboard. Posture Aid doesn't read your contacts or your messages. It also can't send text messages by itself, because it has no SMS permission. You choose the app and the person, and you press send.
What we don't do
- No ads and no ad networks.
- No analytics, tracking or crash-reporting tools.
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No selling or sharing of personal data, because we don't collect any.
Children
Posture Aid isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone, children included.
Your control
You can turn off any permission in your phone's Settings at any time. You can also clear the app's data or uninstall it, and everything it saved, including the diagnostic log, goes with it. If you emailed us a problem report and want it deleted, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, we'll update this page and change the date at the top.
