Padkin: Skin Routine Tracker

Privacy policy

Last updated: 4 October 2026

This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Padkin: Skin Routine Tracker ("Padkin", "the app"), made by Laramattix Ltd ("we", "us").

The short version: everything you put into Padkin, including your routines, skin notes, period days and progress photos, is stored on your phone and never sent to us. There are no accounts, no adverts and no tracking, and we don't sell data.

Who we are

Laramattix Ltd is responsible (the "data controller") for the small amount of personal information described under "What leaves your phone".

• Laramattix Ltd, a company registered in Scotland, company number SC884319
• Registered office: Office 2/3, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP, United Kingdom
• Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), number ZC115769
• Privacy questions: legal@laramattix.com

What stays on your phone

Padkin keeps everything you create in the app's private storage on your phone:

• your shelf: the products and devices you add, with ingredients, expiry and opened dates, and notes
• your routines, schedules and treatments, the steps you tick off or skip, and the streaks worked out from them
• your skin journal: daily skin ratings and notes, and, if you choose to record them, sleep, water, stress, exercise and period days
• your progress photos
• your settings, such as reminder times
• your answer to the age question (only if you're 16 or over)

We never receive any of this. We don't run servers that collect it, and nobody at Laramattix can see it. Some of it is sensitive (skin condition, period days and photos of your face count as health information), so we designed Padkin to keep it with you. The flip side is that we can't recover it for you if it's lost.

Phone backups. We've switched off Android's automatic app backup for Padkin, so Android doesn't copy Padkin's data into your Google account. On an iPhone, a backup you make to iCloud or a computer can include Padkin's data. That backup is protected by your Apple account, and we can't access it.

Moving to a new phone. Use Settings → Your data → Export my data. It makes a file containing your data and photos and opens your phone's share sheet, so you choose where it goes. The file isn't encrypted, so keep it somewhere safe.

What leaves your phone

A few features need the internet. This is everything that leaves your phone, who receives it and why:

Open Beauty Facts

When you search for a product or scan a barcode, the app sends your search words or the barcode number to Open Beauty Facts, a free, open database of cosmetic products run by the Open Food Facts association, a non-profit in France. The app also loads product pictures from it. Like any website, Open Beauty Facts sees your phone's IP address. The app tells it the request comes from Padkin, with our support email, as Open Beauty Facts asks, but it sends nothing else about you.

Open Beauty Facts handles this as an independent organisation under its own privacy policy. We don't receive your searches. Results are saved on your phone so the same barcode doesn't need looking up again.

Padkin Premium

Padkin Premium is sold through Google Play or the App Store. Google or Apple takes your payment, under their own privacy policies, and we never see your card details. They send us sales reports so we can keep our accounts.

We use RevenueCat, Inc., based in the United States, to keep track of who has Premium. Whenever the app checks whether Premium is active, and when you buy, renew or restore a subscription, RevenueCat receives:

• a random ID it creates for your copy of the app, which isn't linked to your name or email
• your subscription records from Google Play or Apple, such as the plan, dates, price and whether a free trial is running
• technical details: app version, device type, operating system, country and IP address

RevenueCat handles this for us under a data processing agreement. We use it to give subscribers the features they've paid for (the legal basis is our contract with you) and, if you don't subscribe, to know not to unlock them (our legitimate interest in running Premium). We keep subscription records while you subscribe, and afterwards for as long as the law requires us to keep accounting records.

Our website

This policy and our terms open from our website, laramattix.com, which is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic browser details to deliver the page and protect the site. We don't add cookies, analytics or tracking to it.

Emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use them to reply (our legitimate interest in answering you, or our contract with you if it's about a subscription). We keep emails for up to two years after the conversation ends, or longer only if we need them for a legal claim. Email providers deliver and store our email for us.

What we don't do

• We don't have accounts, and the app never asks for your name, email address or phone number.
• We don't sell or rent your information, or share it for advertising.
• We don't show adverts.
• We don't use analytics, crash reporting or tracking tools in the app, and we don't track you across other apps or websites.
• We don't make automated decisions about you.

Permissions the app asks for

• Camera: to take progress photos and scan barcodes. Photos are saved inside the app and aren't uploaded.
• Notifications: for the reminders you choose to turn on. They're planned and scheduled on your phone; we don't run a notification server.

During a device session the app keeps the screen awake, and it can play its end-of-session chime when your phone is on silent. When you export your data or share before-and-after photos, the app opens your phone's share sheet and you choose where it goes. Whoever you share with handles it under their own terms.

Age

Padkin is for people aged 16 and over. The app asks your age the first time you open it and doesn't continue if you're under 16. It stores nothing about an under-16 answer. If you think someone under 16 has emailed us, contact legal@laramattix.com and we'll delete what we hold.

Keeping your information safe

Padkin's data sits in the app's private storage, which other apps can't read; your phone's screen lock is its best protection. The information we do receive (subscription records and emails) is held by providers with appropriate security, and only people at Laramattix who need it can see it.

Deleting your information

• Delete all data (Settings → Your data) removes everything Padkin stores on your phone: your data and photos, saved product lookups and scheduled reminders. It can't be undone.
• Uninstalling Padkin also deletes its data from your phone.
• Turning off period tracking deletes every period day you've recorded.
• Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription. Cancel it in your Google Play or App Store subscription settings.
• To ask us to delete the subscription records or emails we hold, email legal@laramattix.com.

Information sent outside the UK

RevenueCat is in the United States, and Cloudflare and our email providers may process information outside the UK. Whenever information goes outside the UK, we make sure it's protected by safeguards UK law accepts, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Addendum. Open Beauty Facts is in France, which UK law recognises as giving adequate protection.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• get a copy of the information we hold about you
• have it corrected if it's wrong
• have it deleted
• restrict or object to how we use it
• receive it in a format you can take elsewhere

The information in the app is already in your hands: you can export or delete it at any time. For the information we hold, email legal@laramattix.com and we'll reply within one month. To find your subscription records, we may ask for something like the order number from your Google Play or Apple receipt.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change makes a real difference to how your information is used, for example a future optional cloud backup, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.

Padkin: Skin Routine Tracker

Terms of use

Last updated: 4 October 2026

These terms apply to Padkin: Skin Routine Tracker ("Padkin", "the app"), made by Laramattix Ltd ("we", "us"). By downloading or using Padkin you agree to them, so please read them. The most important parts are section 3 (Padkin isn't medical advice) and section 6 (subscriptions).

1. About us

Laramattix Ltd is a company registered in Scotland (company number SC884319). Our registered office is Office 2/3, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP, United Kingdom. For help, email support@laramattix.com.

2. Who can use Padkin

You must be 16 or over to use Padkin. It's for your own personal, non-commercial use.

3. Padkin isn't medical advice

Padkin helps you plan and keep up a skincare routine, follow treatments such as LED masks and retinoids, and take progress photos. It gives general information only.

• Padkin doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it isn't a medical device.
• Ingredient clash warnings are based on general dermatologist guidelines. They aren't medical advice and can't cover every product or every skin.
• Treatment plans are general schedules. Follow your device's instructions and any advice from your doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist first, especially for prescription treatments.
• Content about skin and hair during GLP-1 weight loss is general information. Padkin never tracks medicines or doses and doesn't give advice about medicines.
• Patch test new products. If you get irritation or a reaction, stop and get advice.
• Results vary. Padkin keeps track of your routine and helps you compare photos, but it can't promise that any product or treatment will work for you.

If you're worried about your skin, speak to a pharmacist or doctor. In an emergency, call 999.

4. Product information

Product details come from Open Beauty Facts, an open database built by volunteers, or from what you enter yourself. It can be incomplete or out of date, so always check the packaging, especially the ingredients if you have an allergy. Open Beauty Facts data is available under the Open Database Licence.

5. Your data

Your Padkin data is stored on your phone, not by us (see our privacy policy). Keeping a copy is up to you: use Settings → Your data → Export my data. If you delete the app or lose or reset your phone without a copy, your data may be lost, and we can't recover it.

6. Padkin Premium

• Free and Premium. Padkin is free to use. Padkin Premium unlocks extra features, listed in the app, for a monthly or annual subscription.
• Prices. The price, in your currency and including any taxes, is shown in the app and by Google Play or the App Store before you buy.
• Payment. You buy Premium through Google Play or the App Store, under their terms. They take your payment.
• Free trials. If your plan includes a free trial, you'll be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
• Renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year unless you cancel. On the App Store, cancel at least 24 hours before it renews.
• Cancelling. Cancel at any time in your Google Play or App Store subscription settings (Settings → Premium in the app takes you there). Premium stays on until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app doesn't cancel your subscription.
• New phone. Use Restore purchases in Settings → Premium.
• Refunds. Google and Apple handle refunds under their own policies. This doesn't affect your legal rights, for example if Premium doesn't work as described.
• Price changes. If the price changes, you'll be told in advance as Google Play or the App Store requires, and you can cancel before the new price applies.
• Changes to Premium. We may add, improve or change Premium features. If we make a change that significantly reduces what you've paid for, we'll tell you, and you can cancel.

7. Using Padkin

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Padkin on phones you own or control, under these terms and the rules of the store you got it from.

Please don't:

• copy, change, sell or rent out the app, or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows
• use Padkin to break the law, or to store photos of other people without their permission
• interfere with the app or the services it relies on

8. Our intellectual property

The app, its design, the name Padkin and the Padkin character belong to Laramattix Ltd or the people we license them from. Your photos, notes and other content belong to you.

9. Updates and availability

We may update Padkin to add features, fix problems or meet legal or store requirements, and you may need the latest version to keep using it. We work to keep Padkin running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always be available or free from errors, or that services run by others (Open Beauty Facts, Google Play, Apple and RevenueCat) will be. If we ever stop offering Padkin, we'll give reasonable notice and stop charging for Premium.

10. Our responsibility to you

• If Padkin isn't as described, of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose, you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Citizens Advice can tell you more.
• We're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that's a foreseeable result of us breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. We're not responsible for loss that isn't foreseeable.
• If faulty digital content we supply damages your phone or other digital content, and that's because we didn't use reasonable care and skill, we'll repair the damage or pay you compensation. We won't if you could have avoided the damage by installing an update we offered free of charge or following our instructions.
• Padkin is for personal use, so we're not responsible for business losses, such as lost profit or business interruption.
• Because Padkin gives general information, not medical advice, we're not responsible for decisions you make about your skin, products or treatments based on it, except where the law says we are.
• Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit.

11. Ending these terms

You can stop using Padkin at any time by deleting it; remember to cancel any subscription in your store account. We may suspend or end your right to use Padkin if you seriously break these terms. Sections 10 and 13 to 15 continue to apply afterwards.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We'll update the date at the top, and for significant changes we'll tell you in the app before they take effect. If you don't agree, you can stop using Padkin and cancel your subscription.

13. If you got Padkin from the App Store

These terms are between you and Laramattix Ltd, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for Padkin or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. If Padkin fails to meet any warranty that applies, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, Apple has no warranty obligation for Padkin. We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claims about Padkin, including product liability claims, claims that it doesn't meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection claims, and claims that it infringes someone's intellectual property. You confirm that you're not in a country subject to a US government embargo and not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and can enforce them against you.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. If you live in Scotland, disputes go to the Scottish courts. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts (England and Wales, or Northern Ireland). If you live outside the UK, you keep any protection your local consumer law gives you. If something goes wrong, please contact us first at support@laramattix.com so we can try to put it right.

15. Other important terms

• If a court decides part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We'll tell you, and it won't affect your rights.
• Nobody else has rights under these terms, except Apple as set out in section 13.
