Timers App Privacy Policy

Summary

• No personal information is collected or transmitted.
• Timer data and preferences are stored locally on your device.
• Notifications and alarm permissions are used solely to deliver timer alerts.
• Donations are processed by Google Play Billing; the app does not access your payment details.

Information We Handle

Local app data (stored on device):

• Timer details: names, durations, target times, created dates, status flags (active/completed), and lists of timers.
• Notification preferences: selected sound (default/silent/custom), and general notification settings.

This information is stored locally using platform storage (e.g., SharedPreferences on Android). The app does not transmit this data to external servers.

Permissions and Their Use

• Notifications: Required to show alerts when timers complete.
• Schedule exact alarm (Android): Used to schedule time-accurate reminders for timers.

The app requests only the permissions required to deliver timer alerts. You can revoke these permissions at any time in your device settings.

In-App Purchases (Donations)

Donations are processed via Google Play Billing. Payment information (such as your card details) is handled by Google; the app only receives minimal purchase metadata (e.g., product identifier and purchase status) to confirm the donation.

• The app does not store payment details.
• Purchase data is used solely to fulfill your donation and is not shared.

Third-Party Libraries

The app uses common open-source Flutter libraries and plugins that operate on-device, including:

• flutter_local_notifications (local notifications)
• permission_handler (managing runtime permissions)
• shared_preferences (local key–value storage)
• in_app_purchase (Google Play Billing integration)
• Other UI/state libraries (e.g., Provider, intl, timezone)

These libraries do not collect personal information on our behalf. Google Play may collect usage or diagnostic data per its own policies.

Data Sharing and Selling

• We do not share your data with third parties.
• We do not sell your data.

Data Retention

Local timer data and preferences remain on your device until you delete them, clear app storage, or uninstall the app.

Your Choices and Controls

• Manage permissions: Adjust in your device settings.
• Notifications: Enable/disable notifications in device settings and within the app.
• Delete local data: Clear the app’s storage or uninstall the app to remove all local data.

Children’s Privacy

The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Users and Rights

Because the app does not collect or process personal data on external servers, typical data subject rights (e.g., access, deletion) are satisfied by your local device controls (clear app data, uninstall). If you have questions, contact us using the details below.

Security

We use platform-provided secure local storage mechanisms and the operating system’s permission model. As with any software, no system is perfectly secure. You should keep your device and OS up to date.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements or changes in the app. Updates will be published with the app and/or on the store listing. The “Effective date” will be revised accordingly.
