Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-14
GoingOut is a pre-departure checklist app for iOS and Android, built by Devara — a solo studio operated by Devara Fikry Akmal. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles, where it goes, and what we (the developer) can and cannot see. Plain version: almost nothing leaves your phone, and what does is described below.
GoingOut has no servers of its own. We have no database, no login system, and no way to identify you. If you uninstall the app, your data goes with it.
1. What stays on your device
The app stores everything it needs locally:
| Checklists & items | Saved in an on-device database (Room / SQLite). |
| Session history | A record of every check-out you complete, kept on the device. |
| Photo proof | Photos you take during a session are stored in the app's private files directory. |
| Streak count | Computed locally from session history; never reported anywhere. |
None of the above is sent to a Devara server, because there is no Devara server.
2. Silent backup to your own cloud
So you don't lose your lists if you reinstall the app or switch devices, GoingOut can quietly back up your data to your own cloud — never ours:
| iOS | CloudKit private database, tied to the Apple ID you're already signed in with. Apple's privacy terms apply. |
| Android | Google Drive AppData scope, tied to your default Google account. The folder is invisible to other apps and to you in the Drive UI. Google's privacy terms apply. |
The developer cannot read these backups. They live in your private cloud space. You can wipe them by deleting the app and clearing the relevant cloud storage (Settings → iCloud → Manage Storage → GoingOut on iOS; Drive Settings → Manage Apps on Android).
3. The AI template generator (optional)
GoingOut has an optional feature that turns a plain-text description of a trip into a draft checklist. This is the only feature in the app that uses the network.
- What's sent: the prompt you typed and a fixed system prompt that tells the model to return a checklist. Nothing else from the app is attached.
- Where it goes: Google's Generative Language API (
gemini-2.5-flash). Google's API privacy terms apply. - What's returned: a JSON list of suggested items, parsed locally. You review and approve every item before it's added to a list.
- Opt-in by action: the request is only made when you tap "Generate" after typing a prompt. The app does not call the API in the background.
4. Camera
The app asks for camera permission only so you can attach a photo to a checklist item that is marked as photo-proof (for example, "door locked"). Photos are saved to the app's private photo directory and included in the silent backup described above. They are not uploaded anywhere else.
5. What we do not collect
- No email address, no name, no phone number, no account.
- No usage analytics, crash reports, or telemetry.
- No advertising identifiers. No third-party SDKs that track you.
- No location data.
- No microphone access.
- No contacts, calendar, or other system data.
6. Permissions in plain English
| Internet | Used only when you tap "Generate" in the AI template feature. |
| Camera | Used only when you choose to attach a photo to a photo-proof item. |
7. Children
GoingOut is not directed at children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect information from children. Since the app does not collect identifiable information from anyone, there is nothing to delete on request.
8. Your controls
- Delete a checklist or item: Settings → Edit checklist.
- Delete a photo: open the session in History and remove the photo.
- Delete everything: uninstall the app, then remove the cloud backup from your iCloud / Drive settings as described in section 2.
- Disable the AI generator: just don't use it — it's never invoked unless you tap "Generate."
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the "Last updated" date at the top will change and the new version will be published at this URL. The app's behavior is what's binding — this page just describes it.
