Effective 24 July 2026. Applies to the GotchaFix application published by Interprog Inc.
GotchaFix works completely offline, and an account is optional. If you never sign in, nothing you enter ever leaves your device — there is no server involved at all. If you choose to create a free account, GotchaFix syncs your maintenance data to the cloud so it is available on your other devices and, if you invite them, to the members of your household. You can delete that account, and its cloud data, at any time.
1. Offline, with no account (the default). You can install GotchaFix and use every core feature — tracking what you own, schedules, reminders, history, costs, backups — without signing in. In this mode GotchaFix behaves exactly like the original offline app: everything you enter is written to a database in the app's private storage on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and we cannot see any of it because it is never sent anywhere.
2. With a free account (optional cloud sync and sharing). If you sign in, GotchaFix keeps a copy of your data in the cloud so it can appear on your other signed-in devices and be shared with people you invite to your household. This is the only situation in which any of your information leaves your device. Signing in is a deliberate choice you make; the app never requires it.
Whether or not you have an account, everything you put into the app is written to a database in the app's private storage folder on your device:
If — and only if — you sign in, the following is copied to our cloud backend so your devices and household members can see it:
Photos are not uploaded in this version. The image files stay on the device that added
them; only the photo's filename travels with the record, so another device shows a "photo on another
device" placeholder rather than the picture. To move photos between devices, use the app's
.gfbak export (see below).
To create an account you provide an email address and either set a password or use an emailed sign-in link ("magic link"). We use your email address to identify your account, to send the sign-in link, and to contact you about your account if we must. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and stored only as a secure hash; we never see your actual password.
Our cloud backend is provided by Supabase, which hosts the database and authentication on our behalf as our data processor. Your synced data and your account are stored on Supabase infrastructure in the Canada (Central) region. Supabase processes this data only to provide the service to us and is bound by its own security and privacy commitments. Depending on where you live, storing your data in Canada may be an international transfer of personal data; Canada is recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for personal data.
We do not use any other third-party processor for your app data. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs of any kind (see below).
If you create or join a household, the household's synced data (above) is visible to every current member of that household, and each member's chosen display name is visible to the others. The household owner can create single-use invite codes and can remove members. Removing a member, or a member leaving, stops that person's device from syncing further; data already on their device stays on their device. Only invite someone you intend to share your maintenance records with.
The daily reminder is generated and shown entirely by your own device. Nothing is sent to us or to any notification service to produce it, whether or not you have an account. Turning the reminder off, or refusing the notification permission, changes nothing else about the app.
GotchaFix can export everything to a single .gfbak file so you can keep a copy or move to a new
device. You choose whether to create that file and where it goes. It is an ordinary file on
your device — it is not sent to us, and we have no copy of it. If you place it somewhere else (a USB drive, a
network share, a cloud folder like OneDrive or Dropbox), it is then governed by wherever you put it, and
protecting it is up to you.
If you attach a photo, GotchaFix copies it into its own private storage so the record still works if you later move or delete the original. As noted above, photos are not uploaded to the cloud in this version — they stay on the device that added them.
Microsoft (Microsoft Store) and Google (Google Play) run their stores and each collects its own information when you find, acquire, install, rate, or — if the app is paid — buy the app. That is the store's processing under the store's own privacy statement, not ours, and this policy does not cover it. We may see anonymous aggregate figures in our developer dashboards, such as install counts and ratings. Those are counts. They do not identify you and contain nothing you entered into the app.
Data on your device. You are in complete control: everything is in the app, an exported
.gfbak is a full copy, anything can be edited at any time, and uninstalling GotchaFix removes
the app's on-device data.
Your account and cloud data. If you have an account, you can:
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under Law 25, PIPEDA, or the GDPR to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict its processing. Because deletion is available directly in the app, the fastest route is usually to do it yourself, but you can always contact us.
GotchaFix is a general-audience app and is not directed at children. Accounts are intended for anyone in a household who wants one, including younger family members, but GotchaFix is not marketed to children and is rated accordingly.
If this policy changes, we will update the page and the effective date above. If we ever change what is collected or synced, or add a new processor, we will update this page before that change ships.
