Privacy Policy - Decision Matrix

1. Overview & Core Philosophy

Decision Matrix is built from the ground up to empower professionals, project managers, and executives to objectively compare and prioritize project proposals based on custom weighted criteria.

Offline-First Guarantee: Decision Matrix operates completely locally on your Android device. We do not transmit, collect, upload, share, or sell your project proposals, criteria weights, notes, budgets, or matrix scores to any remote server or third party.

2. Information Collection and Use

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or usage telemetry:

No Account Required: You do not need to register, log in, or provide an email, name, or phone number to use Decision Matrix.
Project Proposals & Scores: All proposal names, scopes, financial budgets, timelines, weights, and scores entered into the app remain exclusively on your device.
No Analytics or Tracking SDKs: We do not include third-party advertising SDKs, behavioral tracking trackers, or user profiling tools.

3. Device Storage and Local Data Persistence

Decision Matrix uses the Android local storage sandbox (Room / SQLite Database) to store your evaluations:

All project proposals, criteria, and score matrices are stored strictly within the private application sandbox allocated by the Android operating system.
No other applications on your device can access your Decision Matrix data unless you explicitly choose to export or share it.
Uninstalling the application will permanently erase all locally stored proposals and scores.

4. Android Permissions Disclosure

Decision Matrix follows the principle of least privilege. In accordance with Google Play Developer Program policies:

Permission	Usage Status	Reason
Storage / Photos / Media	None Requested	Data is saved in app private sandboxed storage; no broad storage access needed.
Camera / Microphone	None Requested	No multimedia recording features exist in the application.
Location (GPS / Network)	None Requested	No geographical tracking is used or requested.
Contacts / Accounts	None Requested	No identity or contact directory access required.

5. User-Initiated Data Export & Sharing

Decision Matrix includes features allowing you to export your evaluations in CSV spreadsheet, JSON dataset, or Markdown executive summary format:

Explicit User Action Only: Data export is strictly triggered by tapping the Export button.
Standard Android Share Sheet: Exported text or files are transferred exclusively through the native Android system share dialog (Intent.ACTION_SEND) or copied to your device's clipboard at your direction.
We have no visibility into where or to whom you share exported summaries.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy)

Decision Matrix is an analytical productivity tool designed for general audiences and professionals. It does not solicit, knowingly collect, or store personal information from children under the age of 13.

7. Security of Your Data

Because your information never leaves your device over the network, your risk of remote data interception or cloud database breaches is completely mitigated. We encourage users to maintain standard device security measures (e.g., screen locks and OS updates) to protect on-device data.

8. Policy Updates & Inquiries

If we make any modifications to this policy, the updated version will be published here with a revised "Last Updated" date.
