Built by awarself. We don't sell your data, we don't track you across other apps, and we don't run any in-app purchases. This page is intentionally short. Full vendor disclosure is in this app's Data Safety section on Google Play.
What we collect
- Account info — your name, email, and profile photo when you sign in with Google. Sign-in is required because Excuse Genie needs a stable identity to track your coins, your history, and your daily allowance.
- Profile — the optional fields you fill in: your country (auto-detected from your device, but editable), age range, gender, occupation, and vibe. These help the AI write excuses that sound more like you. You can skip everything except country, and you can change any field at any time.
- In-app activity — the situation tiles you tap, the tones you pick, the excuses you generate, copy, share, save, regenerate, or sharpen, your daily streak, the achievements you unlock, the ads you see, complete, dismiss, or skip, and the tabs you open. Used to keep the experience snappy and to spot bugs.
- Diagnostic data — crash reports (aggregated) and behavioral usage events linked to your account so we can investigate issues you specifically report.
- Messages — a device push token when you turn on notifications, so we can send the daily excuse-of-the-day push. You can turn notifications off any time in Settings or in your system settings.
- Your content — the custom situation text you type when you pick the Custom tile (capped at 200 characters), and the excuses Chamo writes for you. Both are stored on your account so they show up in your History tab and so we can avoid repeating the same tropes in future generations.
Why we collect it
- Run the app, your account, and the coin economy.
- Generate excuses tailored to your profile and the situation you chose.
- Fix bugs and crashes.
- Decide what to build next, based on aggregate and anonymized usage.
Content moderation
When you generate an excuse, a brief summary of the request — the situation category, the tone, and the resulting text — is forwarded to a private admin channel for moderation review. This is used only to catch abuse and to improve content quality. It is never used for advertising, marketing, or any purpose other than running the service safely.
Who else processes it
Service providers help us run the app — sign-in, hosting, crash reporting, analytics, AI generation, and ads. They handle data only on our behalf, never for their own purposes. For the full vendor list and data-type disclosure, see this app's Data Safety section on Google Play.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data to advertisers or anyone else.
- We don't track you across other apps or websites.
- We have no in-app purchases — no payment systems are involved at all.
- We don't share your private content with other users.
Your controls
- Edit your profile — change or clear any optional field at any time from Settings.
- Sign out — clears your session on this device.
- Delete your account — Settings → Delete Account, or email awarself@gmail.com. Removes your data immediately. See Account Deletion for details.
- Request your data — email awarself@gmail.com; we'll send a JSON dump within 30 days.
- Notifications — turn off the daily excuse push any time in the app's Settings or your device's notification settings.
Retention
Your data persists while your account is active. After deletion, anonymized diagnostic logs may be retained for up to 90 days for stability investigation, then permanently removed. Everything else is removed on request.
Children
Excuse Genie: Funny & Smooth is intended for users aged 13 and over.
Changes
If we change how we collect or use data, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date. Material changes are also surfaced inside the app.
