Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2024

These Terms of Service govern your use of the My Smoke Tracker mobile application by AY Tech Systems and related services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the My Smoke Tracker app by AY Tech Systems, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the app.

2. Description of Service

My Smoke Tracker is a mobile application by AY Tech Systems designed to help users privately track their smoking habits and patterns using local device storage. The app provides:

  • Local cigarette logging and tracking using SQLite database
  • Private statistical analysis of smoking patterns (processed on-device)
  • Trigger identification and insights (stress, social, boredom, habit, craving)
  • Progress monitoring tools with visual charts
  • Data export capabilities (CSV format for personal use)
  • Premium features including advanced analytics and custom themes

🔒 Privacy-First Design

All your smoking data is stored locally on your device technology. We never upload, sync, or store your personal smoking information on any servers, ensuring complete privacy and data ownership.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Smoke Tracker. By using the app, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these terms.

4. Medical Disclaimer

Important: Smoke Tracker is not a medical device or treatment. The app is designed for informational and tracking purposes only.

  • The app does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • Always consult healthcare professionals for medical concerns
  • Do not use the app as a substitute for professional medical care
  • If you're experiencing health issues related to smoking, seek medical attention

5. User Responsibilities

5.1 Accurate Information

You are responsible for providing accurate information when using the app. While the app can provide insights based on the data you enter, the quality of insights depends on the accuracy of your inputs.

5.2 Device Security and Data Protection

Since all your smoking data is stored locally in an SQLite database on your device, you are responsible for:

  • Keeping your device secure with appropriate locks (PIN, password, biometric)
  • Understanding that your data security depends on your device's security
  • Regularly exporting your data as backup if desired (available in app settings)
  • Understanding that lost, stolen, or damaged devices will result in data loss
  • Not sharing your device with others if you want to keep your data private

Important: Since we don't have your data on our servers, we cannot recover lost data if your device is damaged or lost. We recommend periodic data exports for backup.

5.3 Appropriate Use

You agree to use the app only for its intended purpose and not to:

  • Attempt to reverse engineer or modify the app
  • Use the app for any illegal or unauthorized purposes
  • Share your app access with others
  • Attempt to extract or access others' data

6. Privacy and Data

Privacy is fundamental to how Smoke Tracker works. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference, explains our local-first approach. Key points:

  • All smoking data stored locally: SQLite database on your device only
  • No cloud sync or uploads: Your data never leaves your device
  • No data collection: We cannot see, access, or analyze your smoking patterns
  • Complete ownership: You own and control 100% of your data
  • Export anytime: CSV export available for backup or sharing with healthcare providers
  • Delete anytime: Clear all data or specific entries as desired

🛡️ Maximum Privacy Protection

This local-first architecture provides the strongest possible privacy protection. Even if we wanted to access your data (which we don't), it would be technically impossible because it only exists on your device.

7. Premium Features and Subscriptions

7.1 Subscription Terms

Premium features are available through in-app subscription purchase:

  • Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled
  • You can cancel anytime through your device's subscription settings
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period

If a free trial is offered:

  • The trial period will be clearly specified
  • You can cancel during the trial to avoid charges
