Privacy Policy
I DO NOT STORE ANY DATA. PERIOD.
I physically can't. I have nowhere to store it. I don't even have a server database to store it. So even if Justin Bieber asked nicely to see your data, I wouldn't have anything to show him.
That's why, with this library, what happens on your device stays on your device till disappear.
