Touchbase is a personal relationship reminder app. It helps you keep track of the people you want to stay in touch with, and reminds you when it has been a while.
Touchbase has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. Everything you enter stays in the app's private storage on your own device. The developer cannot see your contacts, your notes, or anything else you put into the app.
All of the following is saved in a private database on your phone:
This data is never transmitted to the developer. Uninstalling the app deletes it.
Contacts (optional). If you tap the button to add someone from your phone's contact list, Android shows you its own contact picker and Touchbase receives the name and phone number of the single contact you chose. Touchbase does not read, scan, or upload your contact list. You can decline this permission and still use every other feature by typing names in manually.
Notifications (optional). Used only to show local reminders on your device at the time you choose. Reminders are generated on the phone; nothing is sent anywhere to produce them.
Internet. Used for exactly one feature: importing contacts from a Google Sheet. If you paste a published Google Sheets CSV link, Touchbase downloads that spreadsheet directly from Google in order to read it. That request goes from your phone to Google. It does not pass through any server belonging to the developer, and no other part of the app uses the network.
The Call and Text buttons hand off to your phone's own dialer and messaging apps with the number filled in. Touchbase does not place calls, send messages, or record that you did.
Android's built-in automatic backup is enabled for this app. If you have device backup turned on in your Android settings, your Touchbase database may be copied to your own Google Drive account as part of your phone's backup. This is handled entirely by Android and Google, is governed by Google's privacy policy, and is controlled by your device's backup settings — not by Touchbase. The developer has no access to these backups.
Touchbase is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a revised effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
