QuoteBit collects zero personal data.
Your quotes, favorites, and wallpaper preferences stay entirely on your device. QuoteBit has no servers, no accounts, and no access to anything you write or save.
โœ๏ธ
Your personal quotes never leave your phone.
The quotes you write yourself in QuoteBit are stored in an encrypted database on your device only. They are never uploaded, synced, backed up to the cloud, or seen by anyone โ€” including SmartWhale Technologies.

1. Who we are

QuoteBit is developed and maintained by SmartWhale Technologies, an independent software company based in India.

2. What data QuoteBit collects

From you directly: Nothing.

QuoteBit does not require an account, email address, or any personal information. You open the app and start using it immediately.

All data in the app is stored locally on your device in an encrypted database. This includes your custom quotes, favorites, wallpaper preferences, and app settings. None of this data is transmitted to any server.

3. Your personal quotes โ€” special protection

The "My Quotes" feature lets you write and save your own quotes. We take the privacy of this user-generated content especially seriously because it may reflect personal thoughts, feelings, or creative expression.

What happens to quotes you write:

  • Stored in SQLCipher-encrypted database on your device only
  • Never uploaded to any server or cloud service
  • Never visible to SmartWhale Technologies or any third party
  • Android's automatic cloud backup is disabled โ€” quotes do not sync to Google Drive
  • Deleting the app permanently and irrecoverably deletes all your quotes
  • Uninstalling QuoteBit removes all data with no recovery possible

When you save a quote as a wallpaper or share it, the image is generated locally on your device. The text content is never sent to any external service for rendering.

4. Saved images and wallpapers

When you save a quote image to your gallery or set it as a wallpaper:

PermissionWhy it's needed
INTERNET
Required only for Google AdMob (free version) and Google Play Billing (premium). The app's core features โ€” quotes, wallpapers, custom writing โ€” work completely offline.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
Allows AdMob to check connectivity before loading ads. No personal data is collected.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Required on Android 13+ to send your daily quote reminder notification. Only requested if you enable the daily reminder in Settings. You can disable it anytime.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
Allows QuoteBit to reschedule your daily quote reminder automatically after your device restarts. Without this, notifications would stop after a reboot.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM
Ensures your daily quote notification arrives at the exact time you chose in Settings.
SET_WALLPAPER
Used only when you tap "Set as Wallpaper" in the app. QuoteBit cannot change your wallpaper without your explicit action. No background wallpaper changes occur.

Note: QuoteBit does NOT request WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Images are saved using Android's MediaStore API (scoped storage), which is the modern, privacy-respecting approach for Android 10 and above.

QuoteBit is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since QuoteBit collects no personal data from any user, there is no risk of inadvertent data collection from minors.
