Why am I required to login? Is my data saved on the cloud?
KeepTrack saves your data on the cloud, or more specifically on Google's servers. The reasons for doing so are:
- Keep your data safe in case of an accident. You would be surprised how many people loose or break their phones.
- Keeping the data in the cloud allows you to access it from all your devices and in the future also from the web, just login with the same account and the data is there.
- Cloud storage allows you to share parts of your data with other people. This is only done upon request and it not automatic.
We do not and never will share your data with anyone else without your explicit consent. To be even more specific this includes any third parties for advertising or any other commercial reason. You can always request for a complete deletion of the data on our servers and we will do so.
The login process is required for security purposes to make sure your data is accessed by you and only you.
