Privacy Policy for Holper
Last updated: May 24, 2026
App: Holper (com.uludagcan.apps.holper)
Contact: uludagcan.apps@gmail.com
Summary
Holper helps you plan vacation around public holidays. Core features work offline. We do not collect, sell, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or analytics. We do not operate servers that receive your usage or preferences.
Data we process
On your device only
Holper stores the following locally on your device using Android DataStore:
- Your selected country (ISO code and display name)
- Per-holiday reminder preferences (reminder offset, frequency, daily notification time)
- Optional free-text notes you add when setting a reminder (up to 250 characters per holiday)
- Whether you completed in-app onboarding
You can remove individual holiday reminders (and their notes) in the app. Clearing app data or uninstalling the app removes all locally stored preferences.
Bundled holiday data
Public holiday lists for 2026 and 2027 are bundled inside the app (JSON assets). Holper does not download holiday data from the internet when you use the app.
Notifications
If you enable reminders, Holper shows notifications that may include the holiday name, holiday date, and country name on your device (including on the lock screen, depending on your system settings). Your optional notes are not shown in notifications.
What we do not collect
- No account registration or sign-in
- No server-side storage of your usage or preferences
- No sale of personal information
- No location, contacts, camera, or microphone access
Permissions
Holper may request these Android permissions:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) |
To remind you before holidays at times you choose |
Exact alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM) |
To deliver reminders at the exact times you set |
Boot completed (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) |
To restore scheduled reminders after device restart |
Holper does not declare the INTERNET permission. Core app features do not require network access.
You can deny notification or exact-alarm permissions; reminders may be limited or delayed. If notification permission is denied, you can still save reminder settings and enable notifications later in system settings.
Network access
Holper does not require internet access for core features (country selection, holiday lists, reminders).
Limited network use may occur in these cases:
- Privacy policy link — When you open the privacy policy from Settings → About, your browser loads the page (user-initiated only).
- Google Sans font — The app uses Google Sans via Android’s downloadable-fonts API. Google Play services may download the font from Google’s font provider. This is for typography only; Holper does not send your preferences or notes as part of font loading.
Third parties
Holiday data is sourced from bundled files maintained by the app developer, not from a live third-party holiday API.
The only third-party service involved in normal use is Google Play services (font provider for Google Sans), as described above. Google’s handling of that request is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.
Children
Holper is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention and deletion
- Reminder settings, optional notes, and country preferences remain until you change them, delete individual reminders in the app, or clear app data.
- Uninstalling the app removes locally stored data from your device.
Android backup
Holper excludes its preference storage (user_preferences DataStore) from Android backup, cloud backup, and device-to-device transfer. Your country selection, reminders, notes, and onboarding state are not included in those backups by design.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
