Privacy policy

What the app stores

Wins keeps one private file inside the app, on your phone. It holds:

  • the name you type in, used for the greeting
  • your wins, their dates and which ones you starred
  • where flowers and grass sit in your garden
  • your settings, such as the daily reminder and its time

Only Wins can read this file, and we never receive it. Flowers are drawn from each date when you look at them and aren't stored.

What the app doesn't do

  • It makes no internet connections. There is no server, and we never receive your data.
  • There are no accounts and no sign-in.
  • There are no ads, analytics, tracking or crash reporting, and no third-party code that collects data.
  • Nothing is sold or shared, because nothing is collected.

Keeping your data safe

Your garden is kept in the app's private storage and protected by your phone's own security, such as its passcode. Nothing is sent over the internet. A backup file you export isn't protected, so anyone who has it can read your wins. Keep it somewhere you trust.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your garden stays on your phone until you remove it. You can delete a win at any time, and deleting Wins removes everything it stored. We hold no copy, so there's nothing for us to keep or delete, and we can't recover a lost garden. Backups you or your phone made stay until you delete them.

Permissions

The only permission Wins asks for is to send notifications, and only if you turn on the daily reminder. You choose any file you import. Wins doesn't use your location, contacts, camera or microphone.

Reminders

The daily reminder is off until you turn it on. It's scheduled on your phone by the phone's own notification system. Nothing is sent from a server. You can turn it off in Wins or in your phone's settings at any time.

Backups

When you export your garden, Wins creates a file and opens your phone's share sheet. Where that file goes (Files, email, a cloud drive) is your choice, and that service's own privacy policy applies to it.

Your phone may also include Wins in its regular device backup (iCloud on iPhone, Google on Android), depending on your phone's settings. Those backups are handled by Apple or Google, not by Wins.

Contact

Wins is made by April Gao and Josh Antolovic.
