RenewlyPrivacy Policy
Renewly helps you keep track of subscriptions, free trials and recurring bills. We built it so your list stays on your phone. There's no account, no server and no bank linking.
01Who we are
Renewly — Subscription Tracker (package com.renewly.app) is an Android app developed and published on Google Play by YSX Labs (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the app, this page and the Renewly website.
For privacy questions and requests, email popsupdates4u@gmail.com.
02Information on your phone
Everything you enter is saved in the app’s private storage on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else:
| Information | Where it lives |
|---|---|
| Subscription names, prices, currencies and billing cycles | On device |
| Next payment dates, free-trial flags, reminder choices | On device |
| Category, colour, “paid with” label, cost split and notes | On device |
| Paused and cancelled status, cancellation dates | On device |
| Home currency, exchange rates you set, budget, theme, reminder time | On device |
| Whether you own Renewly Pro (cached after Google Play confirms it) | On device |
| Which guided-tour tips you have already seen | On device |
The “Paid with” field is a free-text label such as “Credit card” or “UPI”. Please don’t type card numbers or other sensitive details into it or into notes. Renewly never asks for them.
This data is excluded from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so it isn’t copied to your Google account. It stays until you delete it in the app or uninstall Renewly.
03What we never collect
- No account, name, email address or phone number. There’s no sign-up.
- No reading of your emails, SMS, bank statements or other apps.
- No connection to your bank, cards or payment apps.
- No contacts, photos, files (other than ones you choose to open or save), microphone, camera or precise location.
- No analytics or tracking SDK of our own, and no server that receives your data.
04Reminders and notifications
Reminders are scheduled and shown entirely on your phone by Android. A reminder shows the subscription name, amount and billing cycle (for example “Netflix renews tomorrow”). On a locked screen it only says “Renewal reminder” or “Free trial ending soon” until you unlock.
On Android 13 and later, Renewly asks for notification permission the first time you set a reminder. You can turn reminders off per subscription, change the reminder time in Settings, or block notifications in Android settings at any time.
05Home-screen widget
If you add the Renewly widget, it shows your monthly total and next renewals on your home screen, where anyone who sees your phone can read them. Remove the widget at any time by long-pressing it.
06Backup, restore and export
Back up to a file saves a JSON file with all your subscriptions and settings, and Export to spreadsheet (Pro) saves a CSV file. Both use Android’s file picker, so the file goes only where you choose, such as Downloads or Google Drive. Restore from backup reads a file you pick.
We never receive these files. Once saved, they are governed by wherever you keep them and the policies of that service. Treat them like any personal document.
07Currencies and exchange rates
Renewly works offline. It uses built-in approximate exchange rates, or rates you enter yourself, to combine different currencies into one total. It doesn’t contact any exchange-rate service.
08Advertising
The free plan shows ads from Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the screen and, from time to time, a full-screen ad before an action such as switching sections, opening or adding a subscription, or making a backup. Renewly Pro removes all ads.
- Ad requests are sent as non-personalised and never include your subscriptions, prices, notes or any other content you enter.
- The app doesn’t use the Android advertising ID (the permission is removed from the app).
- In the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and other regions where required, Google’s consent form (User Messaging Platform) asks for your choices before ads load. You can change them later in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
To deliver ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process:
| IP address and the approximate location derived from it | Advertising |
| Device and app information (model, OS, language, app set ID) | Ads, fraud prevention |
| Ad interactions such as views and taps | Ads, analytics |
| Crash and diagnostic data from the ads SDK | Diagnostics |
Google acts under its own policies: How Google uses information from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
09Renewly Pro purchases
Renewly Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Google Play. We never see your card or bank details. Google Play tells the app whether your Google account owns Pro, and the app stores only that yes/no answer on your device so ads don’t appear while Play is being checked. Refunds and receipts are handled by Google Play under the Google Payments Privacy Notice.
10App permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) | Renewal and trial reminders |
Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) | Re-schedule reminders after a restart |
| Internet and network state | Ads and Google Play purchases only |
| Google Play billing | Buying and restoring Renewly Pro |
Renewly doesn’t request exact-alarm, location, contacts, storage, camera, microphone or SMS permissions.
11Sharing and selling
We don’t sell, rent or share your personal information. We don’t receive your subscription data, so there is none for us to share. The only third parties involved are Google (AdMob for ads, Google Play for purchases), as described above.
12Retention and deleting your data
Your data is kept on your phone for as long as you keep it there. To delete it:
- Delete one item: open it and tap Delete.
- Delete everything: Settings → Delete all data.
- Or uninstall Renewly, which removes all of its data from the device.
There is no account and no server copy, so there’s nothing else to request. Backup or CSV files you saved yourself must be deleted from wherever you stored them.
For data processed by Google for ads, use Ad privacy choices in the app or Google’s own controls. Google Play keeps purchase records under its own policy.
13Security
Data is stored in Renewly’s private app storage, which other apps can’t read, and is written atomically so it isn’t corrupted if your phone switches off. All network traffic from the ads and billing SDKs uses encrypted HTTPS. Plain-text (cleartext) traffic is disabled in the app. Keep your phone protected with a screen lock.
14Children
Renewly is meant for adults managing their own spending and isn’t directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children.
15Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA or India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your personal data and to object to some processing. Because your Renewly data stays on your device, you can see, edit, export and delete it yourself in the app. For anything else, email us and we’ll reply within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
16Brand names and logos
Renewly lists popular services so you can add them quickly. Their names and logos belong to their owners and are shown only to help you recognise your own subscriptions. Some logos come from the open Simple Icons project. Renewly isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any of these services, and it doesn’t contact them.
17Changes and contact
If we change how Renewly handles information, we’ll update this page and the effective date above. For significant changes we’ll also mention it in the app’s release notes.
