MyKit Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

MyKit is a personal toolkit app for Android, made by an independent developer (md-taha-ahmed). This policy explains what data MyKit uses, where the data goes, and the choices you have.

1. The short version

MyKit has no server and no accounts. Your data is stored on your phone.
The developer does not collect, receive, sell or share any of your data.
There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
Google sign-in is optional. Your Google data travels only between your phone and Google.

2. Data stored on your phone

What you enter in MyKit stays on your device, in the app's private storage. This includes:

feeds and articles
habits and check-ins
to-do tasks
workouts
food entries and the weight and height you enter
notes
screen-time settings

Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes all of it.

3. Google user data

If you choose to sign in with Google, MyKit asks for these permissions. It asks for each one only when you turn on the feature that needs it:

Permission (scope)	What MyKit does with it
Google Drive, app data folder only `drive.appdata`	It saves your MyKit backup file to a hidden folder that only MyKit can access, and lists, restores and deletes those backups when you ask. MyKit cannot see or change any other files in your Drive.
YouTube, read-only `youtube.readonly`	It reads the list of channels you subscribe to, so you can add them to your feeds. It does not post, comment, subscribe or change anything on your account.
Google Tasks `tasks`	It reads your task lists and tasks so they show up in MyKit's to-do. It also creates, edits, completes and deletes tasks and lists, but only when you do so in MyKit, to keep both sides in sync.

Google data goes directly between your phone and Google's servers. It is never sent to the developer or to any third party.
A copy is kept on your phone (for example, your synced tasks) so the app works offline.
Google data is not used for advertising and is not sold. It is not used to train AI models, and it is not sent to the AI feature described below.
MyKit's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
You can disconnect at any time. Use "Stop syncing" in the to-do, or sign out in MyKit. You can also remove MyKit's access at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To delete MyKit's backups, open Google Drive and go to Settings → Manage apps → MyKit → Delete hidden app data.

4. Optional AI features (Google Gemini)

Some features use Google's Gemini API with an API key that you add in the app. These are:

article summaries
lesson explanations
the habit coach
food calorie estimates from text or a photo you choose

When you use one of these features, the text or photo it needs is sent from your phone straight to Google's Gemini API under your own key, and Google's Gemini API terms apply. Nothing is sent unless you use the feature.

5. Other internet connections

To show content you ask for, MyKit downloads it directly from public sources. These are:

the feeds and websites you add
Wikipedia
open book collections for lessons

Those sites see an ordinary request from your phone. Nothing about you is sent to them.

6. Permissions on your phone

Accessibility service (only if you turn on Screen time): this detects which app is open, so it can apply the limits you set. It does not read or collect what is on the screen, and nothing leaves your phone.
Notifications: for reminders you set.
Camera / photos: only when you choose a food photo to estimate.

7. Children

MyKit is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page with a new date.
