Shotlinq is made by an independent solo developer. This policy is written to be read, not to be survived. It says exactly what each app collects, why, and how to make it stop.
The short version. Both Shotlinq apps have an account, so both store your email address and whether you have paid for Premium. What differs is your content: Shotlinq To-Do mirrors your tasks to a server so they survive a new phone. Habit Lock does not — your habits and your record stay on your phone and are never sent anywhere. Neither app shows ads, contains analytics or tracking SDKs, or sells or shares your data with anyone.
| App | Package | Data situation |
|---|---|---|
| Shotlinq (to-do & focus lock) | com.shotlinq.app | Account required. Your tasks are stored on your phone and mirrored to a server. |
| Habit Lock (Shotlinq: Habit Tracker Lock) | com.shotlinq.habitlock | Account required for Premium. Your habits and record stay on your phone only. |
Where a section below applies to only one app, it says so. Everything else applies to both.
Both apps are operated by Vikas Kumar, an individual developer based in India. For anything in this policy, contact privacy@shotlinq.com.
| Data | Why | Kept where |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To create your account and sign you back in, so that Premium follows you to a new phone. This is the address on the Google account you sign in with — or, in Shotlinq To-Do, the address you enter to receive a one-time code. | On our database server |
| Subscription status | If you buy Premium, Google Play sends us a purchase receipt so we can switch Premium on for your account and keep it on while the subscription is active. | On our database server |
| Data | Why | Kept where |
|---|---|---|
| Your task text | The words you type into your lists. Stored so your lists survive reinstalling the app or switching phones. | On your phone, and mirrored to our database server |
| App activity | When you locked a list, when you cleared it, whether you broke the lock early, and your streak. This is what makes streaks and reminders work. | On your phone, and mirrored to our database server |
Habit Lock signs you in for one reason only: so that Premium belongs to you rather than to a handset. Your habits and your record are not sent to any server, not even when you are signed in.
| Data | Why | Kept where |
|---|---|---|
| Your habits and goals | The habit names you type, the trigger windows you set, and how long each level runs. This is the app. | On your phone only |
| Your record | Which days you verified, which you missed, your score and your progress through the Master Protocol. This is what the scoring is calculated from. | On your phone only |
| Your settings | Reminder loudness, theme, and whether reminders are paused. | On your phone only |
Reminders are scheduled on your device, by Android, from the windows you set. No reminder is sent from a server, and no server knows when your windows are. The app asks permission to restart reminders after your phone reboots — without it, a restart would silently cancel every reminder you rely on.
Uninstalling Habit Lock deletes your habits and your record, permanently. Every goal, every clean day and every missed day goes with it. Because that information is stored only on your phone, there is no backup and no way for anyone — including us — to get it back. Signing in does not change this. What signing in preserves is your Premium subscription, nothing else. You should know this before you start.
Purchases in either app are handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card number, your bank, or your billing address. We receive only a receipt saying that a purchase happened and whether it is still active.
When you tap "Contact support" in the app, it opens your own email app with a message pre-filled with your app version, whether you're on Free or Premium, your streak, and your device model. This is there because "reminders don't arrive" is almost always a battery-saver setting on a specific phone, and we cannot help you without knowing which phone. Nothing is sent until you press send, and you can delete any of it before you do.
Nobody, in the sense that matters: your data is never sold, rented, or handed to advertisers or data brokers. It is not used to train anything.
Both apps rely on these service providers, purely so they can function:
Habit Lock's habits and record are shared with nobody, because they are never transmitted at all.
We may also disclose data if we are legally required to by a valid court order or law.
No system is perfectly secure, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. But Shotlinq holds very little worth stealing, deliberately.
Both apps keep your email address and your Premium status for as long as your account exists. Delete the account and they go, as described below. Purchase receipts may be retained for as long as tax and accounting law requires us to keep records of a sale.
Shotlinq to-do & focus lock keeps your tasks and activity while your account exists.
Habit Lock keeps your habits and record for as long as the app is installed, and not one moment longer. We never hold them, so we cannot keep them.
To delete your account for either app, use the form at shotlinq.com/delete-account, or email privacy@shotlinq.com from your account's email address. This permanently deletes your account, your email address and your Premium record from our servers. In Shotlinq To-Do it also deletes your tasks, lists and streaks. It cannot be undone. Requests made by email are handled by hand within 30 days.
To delete Habit Lock's habits and record, uninstall the app. That is the whole procedure, and it is immediate and complete. There is nothing held on a server for us to delete. If you also want your account gone, use the form above.
Deleting an account, or uninstalling an app, does not cancel your subscription. Subscriptions live with Google, not with us. Cancel in the Play Store: Play Store → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → choose the app → Cancel.
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and under the GDPR if you're in the UK or EU, you may request a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be erased, or withdraw consent. Email privacy@shotlinq.com and we'll respond within 30 days. There is no charge, and we won't make it difficult.
For Habit Lock, what we can produce or erase is your email address and your Premium record. Your habits and your record are on your phone, where we cannot reach them — we will say so plainly rather than pretend to run a search.
Neither app is designed for or directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created a Shotlinq account, email us and we'll delete it.
Our service providers may store and process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union, under standard contractual safeguards. This applies to the email address and Premium status held for both apps, and to the tasks and activity held for Shotlinq to-do & focus lock. Habit Lock's habits and record are transferred nowhere, internationally or otherwise.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app will tell you the next time you open it. We won't quietly widen what we collect. If Habit Lock ever gains cloud sync for habits and streaks, this policy will say so before that version ships, not after.
