Privacy Policy for Great Facts

Last Updated: 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Great Facts! This privacy policy is to inform users about our practices concerning data protection. Kindly read it thoroughly to understand how we handle your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

Great Facts does not collect, store, or share any personal or non-personal information from our users. The app is designed to be used without the need to provide any personal data. Any saved favorite facts, category preferences, and the current fact-of-the-hour state are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

3. Home Screen Widget

Great Facts offers an optional home screen widget that displays the current fact of the hour. The widget reads data stored locally on your device and refreshes automatically without requiring an internet connection or opening the app. Category preferences stay in sync between the app and the widget through on-device storage only. Tapping the widget opens the corresponding fact in the app; no data is sent to external servers.

4. Sharing Facts

When you share a fact with friends, Great Facts uses your device's built-in share sheet (such as Messages, Mail, or social apps). We do not receive, store, or have access to any content you share through these services. Any data handled by third-party apps you choose to share with is governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Data Sources

The facts in Great Facts are drawn from MIT-licensed open datasets. All facts are bundled with the app and available offline. Attribution for these data sources is included within the app. We do not fetch or download facts from the internet at runtime.

6. No Ads, No Account, No Internet Required

Great Facts is a privacy-focused app that operates completely offline. The app does not display advertisements, does not require user accounts or registration, and does not need an internet connection to function. All your data stays on your device.

7. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the app does not collect any data, it is safe for use by children under the guidelines of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA). Great Facts is designed for curious minds of all ages.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect any personal information, there are no user data rights or choices applicable within the app. All app data, including saved favorites, category preferences, and browsing history within the app, are stored locally on your device and can be cleared by uninstalling the app.

9. Security

While the app does not collect or store personal data, we ensure that any future update that might involve data collection will prioritize user data security and comply with applicable data protection laws.

10. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page. Users are encouraged to review our privacy policy periodically to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
