RoutineX Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 4, 2026
RoutineX ("we," "us," "the app") is a study companion built for Sri Lankan G.C.E. Advanced Level students. This page explains what information we collect, why, and how it's handled.
1Who we are
RoutineX is built and maintained by one developer, based in Sri Lanka. Contact: stharunindu@gmail.com
2Information we collect
Account information
- Name, email address (via email/OTP sign-in or Google sign-in)
- Exam stream (Commerce, Physical Science, etc.), exam year, and your selected subjects
Study activity
- Focus timer session logs (duration, subject, timestamp)
- Past paper progress (which questions you've marked complete)
- Streaks, XP, and rank progress
Optional information
Address and phone number — only if you choose to add them for personalized PDF study reports. Never required, never shown to other users.
Payment information (Ally supporters only)
If you support RoutineX via bank transfer, Dialog Pay, or eZ Cash, we record the transaction reference you submit and the amount, to manually verify your payment. We do not store your card details, bank account numbers, or any payment credentials — we only see what you choose to submit as proof of a transfer you made outside the app.
We do not collect:
- Your exact location
- Any data unrelated to your use of the study features above
3How we use your information
- To run the core app features (timer, past paper tracker, analytics)
- To generate your personal study reports and analytics
- To verify Ally supporter payments and grant the correct access
- To publish anonymized, aggregate cost/usage statistics on our public Transparency page (e.g. "X active users this month") — never your individual identity or activity
4Where your data is stored
RoutineX uses Google Firebase (Firestore and Authentication) to store your account and study data. Firebase's own security and data-handling practices apply to how data is stored on their infrastructure — see Google's Firebase privacy documentation for details.
5Who can see your data
- You: your own study data, always
- RoutineX (the developer): for app maintenance, debugging, and manually verifying Ally payments — not sold, not shared with advertisers, not used for anything beyond running the app
- Other users: nothing, by default. If you opt in to appear on the public "thank you" list as an Ally supporter, only your chosen display name shows — not your email, study data, or any other detail.
6Data retention
- Detailed session records are kept for the most recent 3 months
- Older activity is summarized into monthly/yearly totals (e.g. "you studied 40 hours in March") and the detailed records are then removed, to keep data storage minimal
- You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting stharunindu@gmail.com
7Minors using RoutineX
RoutineX is built primarily for A/L students, many of whom are under 18. We collect only what's needed for the app to function (listed above) and never request sensitive personal information beyond what's described here. If you are a parent or guardian with questions about your child's data, contact us at stharunindu@gmail.com.
8Your choices
- You can edit or remove your address/phone number at any time in Settings
- You can opt out of appearing on the public supporter list at any time
- You can request full account deletion by contacting us directly
9Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects what data we collect or how it's used, we'll note the update date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users in-app.
