DopaMenu - Dopamine Activity Tracker
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to DopaMenu. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what your rights are.
DopaMenu is a personal activity tracker app designed to help you organize and track activities
that bring you joy and healthy dopamine hits. The app uses a menu metaphor with three categories:
Appetizers for quick dopamine hits, Main Courses for deep satisfaction, and Side Dishes for small
productive tasks. We are transparent about our data practices and committed to your privacy.
2. Data Collection Overview
Key Points:
- No Personal Data Collection: DopaMenu does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
- Local Storage Only: Only your activities, completion status, and app preferences are stored locally on your device.
- No Tracking: We do not use advertisements, tracking, analytics, or third-party services.
- No Internet Required: The app works completely offline. No data is sent to external servers.
- No Cloud Sync: We do not use cloud synchronization (no iCloud, CloudKit, or external servers).
DopaMenu is designed with privacy in mind. All your activities and data are stored locally on your device
