Privacy Snapshot
Your date and calculation data is stored strictly on your device. We do not require accounts, do not collect personal contact details, and only process pseudonymous telemetry, crash reports, and advertising identifiers to maintain stability and keep core features free.
1. Information We Process
A. On-Device Calculation Inputs (Private)
All dates, times, intervals, and calculator formulas entered into the application remain locally on your device. We never transmit, store, or process your calculations on external servers.
B. Automated Diagnostic & Telemetry Data
To identify bugs and monitor stability, the application automatically collects non-personally identifiable diagnostic telemetry:
- Device Context: Model, OS version, architecture, screen resolution, and language settings.
- Crash Logs: Error stack traces and performance metrics recorded during an unexpected exit.
- Telemetry: Pseudonymous usage statistics (such as session counts and feature interactions).
2. Advertising & Identifiers
We use third-party advertising partners to serve ads within the app to support ongoing development.
- Google AdMob: We integrate Google AdMob to deliver banner, interstitial, and rewarded ad placements. AdMob may collect and process device identifiers (such as the Apple IDFA or Android Advertising ID), coarse location, and ad interaction metrics to deliver and measure ad performance.
- App Tracking Transparency (iOS): On iOS devices, we request your explicit permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework before accessing your device's advertising identifier for tracking or personalized advertising.
- Consent Management (GDPR/EEA): For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK to collect and manage user consent for ad personalization and cookie/identifier access.
3. Third-Party Service Providers
We partner with industry-standard SDKs to provide analytics, crash reporting, and ad delivery. These services operate under their respective privacy policies:
4. Data Protection & Global Rights (GDPR / CCPA / CPRA)
Regardless of your region, we apply strict data minimization standards:
- Legal Bases (EEA & UK GDPR): Telemetry and crash reports are collected based on our Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). Ad personalization and tracking identifiers are processed strictly on the basis of your Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
- No Direct Sale of Personal Data: We do not sell or rent personal information such as names, emails, or calculation records to third parties.
- Encryption: All analytics and ad network requests are securely transmitted via HTTPS / TLS.
- Opt-Out & Privacy Controls: You can modify tracking permissions at any time via your device settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on iOS, or Settings > Privacy > Ads on Android).
5. Data Deletion & Inquiries
Because the app does not maintain user accounts or personal identity records, operational data is pseudonymous. If you have questions regarding your diagnostic identifiers or wish to exercise statutory data rights, contact us directly.

6. Children’s Privacy
This service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in applicable jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe such data has been provided inadvertently, please contact us immediately for removal.
