Privacy Policy

Welcome to Countdown Timer App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our mobile application. This policy outlines our practices regarding data collection and usage.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Data: We value your anonymity. The app does not require account creation, and we do not collect personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or phone number.

Local Data: All timer presets, custom labels, and activity history are stored strictly on your device's local database. We do not transmit this data to our servers.

Technical Logs: We may collect non-identifying technical information, such as device hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers to improve app stability and deliver advertisements.

2. Third-Party Services

To support development and provide features, we use the following verified third-party partners:

• Google AdMob: For displaying relevant advertisements. AdMob may use device identifiers to personalize your ad experience.
• OneSignal: For delivering timely push notifications and alerts. They may collect device data to ensure message delivery.

3. System Permissions Used

The app requests specific permissions to function correctly on your Android device:

• Internet Access: Required to fetch maintenance status and load advertisements.
• Notifications: Essential for alerting you when a countdown has finished.
• Vibration: Used to provide haptic feedback upon timer completion.
• Exact Alarms: Critical for ensuring the timer triggers precisely even when the device is in deep sleep.
• Wake Lock: Prevents the processor from sleeping during critical timing operations.
• Boot Completed: Allows the app to reschedule pending alarms if your device is restarted.

4. Data Security

We prioritize the security of your data through the following measures:

• Local Storage: Your personal timer data never leaves your device. You have full control over your history and presets.
• Encrypted Transmission: Any technical data sent to third-party services (like AdMob) is transmitted using secure, encrypted protocols (HTTPS/SSL).
• Minimalism: we strictly follow the principle of "Data Minimization"—only requesting the absolute minimum information needed to provide our services.

5. Data Retention

Your data is yours. Timer history and presets remain on your device until you manually delete them or uninstall the application. We have no way to recover your data once it is deleted from your device.
