1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Fast Fast! ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our web application. By using our app, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. They help the application remember your preferences and improve your experience.
We also use similar technologies such as:
- Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows data to be stored locally in your browser with no expiration date.
- IndexedDB: A browser-based database for storing larger amounts of structured data.
- Service Workers: Scripts that run in the background to enable offline functionality and caching.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the app to function properly. They enable core features such as:
- User authentication and session management
- Remembering your login state
- Security features
You cannot opt out of these cookies as the app would not function without them.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience:
- Time format preference (12-hour or 24-hour)
- Fasting mode selection (Ad-hoc or Intermittent Fasting)
- Notification preferences
- Display preferences (elapsed vs remaining time)
3.3 Performance/Analytics Cookies
Currently, we do not use any third-party analytics or tracking cookies. We may introduce analytics in the future to help improve the app, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Local Data Storage
In addition to cookies, our app uses local storage technologies to store your fasting data on your device:
- Fasting Sessions: Your fasting history, including start times, end times, and duration.
- Journal Entries: Notes, mood logs, and automatic event records.
- Schedule Configuration: Your intermittent fasting schedule settings.
- App Preferences: Your chosen settings and display options.
This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you create an account and enable sync (feature coming soon).
5. Service Worker and Offline Functionality
Our app uses a service worker to enable:
- Offline access to the app
- Faster loading through caching
- Background sync capabilities
- Push notifications (when enabled)
The service worker caches app assets and data to provide a seamless experience even without an internet connection.
6. Third-Party Cookies
We do not currently use any third-party cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent where required.
