Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026 · App: RenewWatch 1.1.0 (Android, package com.renewwatch.app)

RenewWatch is a private trial and subscription reminder app. We do not create user accounts, we do not connect to your bank, and the subscription list you type stays on your phone.

1. Who we are

RenewWatch is published by Meer Studios. This policy describes how the Android app handles information. Contact: fazenotmeermeer@gmail.com.

2. What we store on your device

If you add a subscription or free trial, the app saves it locally on your phone, for example:

Name, price, billing cycle, next charge date, optional trial end date, status, and notes
Whether you unlocked Pro, your reminder timing preference, and your display currency (first chosen from your phone's region setting, which is read on the device and never sent anywhere)

This information is stored with on-device storage (not on a RenewWatch server). RenewWatch does not upload the list itself. Android Auto Backup / Drive cloud backup is opted out in the app. Pro users can export a local JSON file from Settings as a backup, and import it again later. When you export, Android's share sheet opens and you choose where the file goes (for example Google Drive or email); RenewWatch does not receive the file. Import reads only the file you pick. Uninstalling the app deletes the list from that device unless you keep that file.

3. What we do not collect

RenewWatch does not ask you to sign up. We do not collect:

Name, email, or phone number for a RenewWatch account
Bank logins, card numbers, or payment details
Location, contacts, photos, SMS, or microphone data
Advertising IDs for ads (this version has no ads)

We do not sell personal information. We do not run our own analytics SDK in this version.

4. Notifications

If you allow notifications, reminders are scheduled locally on your device so we can warn you before a renewal or trial end. We do not send marketing push messages from a RenewWatch server. Reminders are delivered around 9:00, the number of days before a renewal or trial end that you choose in Settings (1, 3, or 7 with Pro), and can arrive late, because Android may delay scheduled reminders by up to about an hour. Some phones restrict background apps to save battery, which can delay reminders until you allow RenewWatch to run in the background. You can deny notification permission; the rest of the app still works.

5. Purchases (Google Play)

Optional Pro is a one-time in-app product sold through Google Play Billing, not through a RenewWatch checkout. Google processes the payment. We do not see your Google payment method.

Google may keep purchase records under Google’s own policies so Pro can be restored on the same Google account after reinstall. Restore purchase restores Pro only — it does not restore your subscription list. That purchase metadata is handled by Google, not stored on a RenewWatch backend.

6. Permissions

Notifications — optional, for local reminders
Billing — to buy or restore Pro through Google Play
Internet and network state — so the app can reach Google Play to buy or restore Pro. RenewWatch does not send your list to any server of its own
Run at startup — so scheduled reminders are restored after your phone reboots
Wake lock and vibrate — so a reminder can wake the phone and vibrate it

These permissions are used only for reminders and Play purchases. Some of the libraries the app is built with also declare push-notification and launcher-badge permissions; RenewWatch does not use them and does not receive push messages.

7. Children

RenewWatch is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age set by the law where they live. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Third parties

If you install from Google Play or make a purchase, Google provides the store and billing. Their handling of account, device, and payment data is described in Google’s privacy policy. RenewWatch does not operate a server that receives your subscription list.

9. Data retention and deletion

Your list remains on the device until you delete individual items, export then replace it, clear local data in Settings, clear app storage, or uninstall. There is no RenewWatch cloud account to delete. For Play purchase history or refunds, use Google Play / your Google account.

10. Your rights

RenewWatch has no account system and no server copy of your list, so we hold no personal data about you that we could show, correct, export or delete. Your data is on your phone, and you control it directly: edit or delete entries in the app, clear local data in Settings, or uninstall the app. If you have questions about your privacy or want to exercise any right you have under the law where you live, contact us at the address below.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Material changes will be reflected in a new app version when required.

RenewWatch does not cancel third-party subscriptions for you. You cancel with each service provider. We only remind you on the dates you enter.
