Tip Tracker Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 8, 2026

Tip Tracker ("the app", "we") is published by It Care Point. You can contact us at itcarepoint.bd@gmail.com.

The short version

• You do not create an account. We do not ask for your email or phone number. You can type your name to print it on your own documents, and it stays on your phone.
• The tips, hours, wages and notes you enter are stored on your phone. We do not receive them and we do not store them on our servers.
• The app does not show ads right now. It includes Google's AdMob software, which stays switched off. If ads are turned on in a future version, this policy will be updated first. Details are below.

Information you enter

Shifts, jobs, tip-out rules, amounts, notes, the names of people you tip out, your job type, W-2 tip amounts, the name you choose to print on your documents, and settings are saved in the app's private storage on your device. We cannot see them. The app never asks for your Social Security number or address. You add those by hand on a printed report. If you uninstall the app, this data is removed from your phone, unless you saved a backup or export file yourself.

Android backup

If you have Android's own backup turned on, your phone may save the app's data to your Google account and restore it on a new phone. That is a feature of your phone and your Google account, controlled in your device settings. We do not receive that backup.

Backups and exports

When you use "Export" or "Share a backup file", the app creates a file and opens your phone's share sheet. You choose where it goes (email, Drive, Files, and so on). We do not receive these files. Their safety after you share them depends on the app you choose.

If you turn on automatic backup, you pick a place for the backup file, such as Google Drive. The app then updates that file after your shifts change and once a day. The file holds your shifts, jobs, tip-out rules and notes, and it is not encrypted by the app. It goes only to the place you picked, under that service's own terms. We do not receive it. You can turn this off in Settings, and you can delete the file from that place yourself.

The app also keeps up to 14 safety copies of your records in its private storage, so you can undo an import or restore. They are removed when you uninstall the app, and Android's own backup may include them.

If you import a CSV file, the app reads only the file you pick, and only on your phone.

Notifications

If you turn on the evening reminder, the monthly tip report reminder or the weekly summary, the app asks for notification permission and schedules them on your phone. Nothing about this leaves your device.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

This section applies only if ads are turned on in a future version. The app would then show banner ads using Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. The AdMob SDK may collect and use, automatically:

• IP address (used to estimate a general location)
• Device and account identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID
• App interactions, such as app launches and taps on ads
• Diagnostic information, such as app launch time and crashes

Google uses this to show and measure ads, to prevent fraud, and for analytics. We do not receive your personal information from this. Information is sent to Google over encrypted connections.

You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and some US states, Google shows a consent message the first time you open the app, and you can change your choice later in Settings → Ad privacy choices.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share the tips and shift records you enter with anyone.

Children

Tip Tracker is made for adults who earn tips. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Security

Your records stay in your phone's private app storage. Keep your phone locked and back up your data. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Not tax or legal advice

The app shows estimates and general information, including about the federal "No Tax on Tips" deduction. It is not tax, legal or financial advice. Speak to a qualified tax professional about your situation.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above and publish the new version at this address.
