Data Safety Summary

We do not directly collect any personal data. However, our third-party partners (Google Firebase and Google AdMob) may automatically collect anonymous usage, diagnostic, and advertising data as described in this policy. This data is used only to improve app performance and display ads.

All alarm settings, preferences, and configurations are stored locally on your device and never transmitted to any external server.

Only anonymous analytics and crash data are collected via Google Firebase to improve app performance.

Information Collection

The Application may collect certain information automatically when you download and use it. This includes:

• Your device’s Internet Protocol address (IP address)
• The pages of the Application you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the duration of your session
• The operating system of your mobile device
• Crash reports via Firebase Crashlytics
• App analytics via Google Analytics for Firebase
• Device model and hardware information (for app optimization)
• Advertising Identifier (Google Advertising ID / GAID) — collected by Google AdMob for the purpose of displaying personalized or non-personalized advertisements. This identifier is managed by Google and can be reset or disabled in your device settings under Google Ads.

Important Notes

• The app does not collect precise location data from your device.
• The App does not upload, share, or sell your personal information.
• All your data remains stored locally on your device only.

Permissions We Use

Alarm Clock: Timer & Stopwatch requires the following permissions to function correctly.

We only use these permissions to provide core app features.

We do not collect, store, or share any personal data through these permissions.

We request these permissions only to enable the app’s core functions:

• SET_ALARM: Required to allow users to create, edit, and manage alarms directly within the application.
• SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM: Required to schedule and trigger alarms at the exact time set by the user to ensure precise alarm delivery.
• USE_EXACT_ALARM: Used to enable accurate and reliable alarm scheduling as part of the app’s core functionality.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used to display alarm notifications and reminders. No personal data is collected or shared through this permission.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Required to ensure alarms function reliably even when the app is running in the background.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE: Used to maintain uninterrupted alarm execution under specific system conditions where required.
• RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Used to automatically restore and reschedule alarms after the device restarts.
• VIBRATE: Used to enable vibration during alarms and reminders.
• WAKE_LOCK: Ensures the device wakes up and turns on the screen when an alarm rings.
• USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT: Used to display the alarm screen in full-screen mode when triggered, even if the device is locked.
• DISABLE_KEYGUARD: The app may temporarily bypass the lock screen to display alarms properly. This functionality is used only for alarm features and does not access or collect personal data.
• SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: This permission is required to allow the alarm screen to appear over the lock screen so users can quickly view or dismiss alarms. It may also be used to display a basic after-call summary for user convenience. This feature does not collect, store, or access any personal data.
• READ_PHONE_STATE: This permission is used to detect the phone call state so the app can display a basic after-call summary with quick actions. The app does not access, record, or store phone numbers or call content.

Data Retention and Deletion

The app does not collect any personal identity data such as name, phone number, email, contacts, or location.

However, we use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google AdMob, which may automatically collect anonymous device and app usage data. This data is used only to improve app performance and show relevant ads. This data cannot identify you personally.

Anonymous analytics and advertising data collected by Firebase and AdMob are retained according to their own data policies and cannot be used to identify you personally. Advertisements displayed via Google AdMob do not access or use any personal data. Ads are based only on device identifiers and general app usage.

How We Handle Permissions

• You have full control over granting or denying permissions.
• Permissions are only used for core app functions.
• You are always in control and can revoke permissions from your device settings.
• If permission is denied, some features may not work.
• The app never collects hidden data without your consent.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

• Analyze app usage and improve performance
• Display ads through Google AdMob (personalized or non-personalized based on your settings)
• Monitor crashes and improve stability using Firebase Crashlytics
• Measure engagement using Google Analytics for Firebase
• Evaluate usage patterns for future enhancements

Third-Party Services

We may transmit anonymized, aggregated data to trusted third-party services to help improve the application. These services have their own privacy policies, which you should review:

• Google Play Services
• AdMob
• Google Analytics for Firebase
• Firebase Crashlytics

All third-party SDKs integrated in the app (Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Google AdMob) operate under their own privacy policies and only collect anonymous diagnostic or usage data. No personally identifiable data is ever shared with these services.

We may disclose user-provided and automatically collected information in the following cases:

• As required by law or legal process
• When necessary to protect our legal rights or user safety
• With trusted service providers acting on our behalf, under confidentiality agreements

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop all data collection by the Application at any time by uninstalling it from your device. Use your mobile OS or app marketplace’s standard uninstall process.

Data Retention Policy

We do not collect, store, or upload your data to any server. All such data remains stored locally on your device and is fully under your control. If you uninstall the app, data will be permanently removed and cannot be restored.

Since no personal data is collected or stored, there is no need for data deletion requests. Any edits or deletions of alarms are performed directly on the local device and fully controlled by the user.

However, anonymized usage data collected automatically by third-party services such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google AdMob may be retained according to their respective data retention policies. This information does not identify you personally and is used only for app performance improvement, analytics, and advertising functionality.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under the age of 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data, please contact us at teamopine@gmail.com.

GDPR Privacy

Under the GDPR, users have several key rights regarding their personal data. They have the right to be informed about how their data is collected, processed, and used. Users can request access to their data, ask for corrections if the data is inaccurate, and request deletion of their data when it is no longer needed or processed unlawfully ("Right to Erasure"). Users may also restrict the processing of their data under specific circumstances and have the right to data portability, allowing them to receive their data in a structured format and transfer it to another controller. Additionally, they can object to the processing of their data, particularly for direct marketing purposes.

CCPA Compliance (California, USA)

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request deletion of personal data
• Opt out of the sale of personal data (note: we do not sell your data)

Security

We take data security seriously and implement reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. We do not transmit any personal or sensitive data over the internet, and all local data is securely stored on the user’s device only.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. We encourage you to review it from time to time. Continued use of the Application after changes are posted signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
