Privacy

Privacy Policy.

Interval Timer is designed to keep your data on your device and your Apple ID. We don't collect personal information, we don't track you, and we don't sell data to anyone.

What data the app handles

On-device data

The app stores your routines, run history, and settings locally on each device using Apple's standard data APIs (SwiftData / Core Data). Nothing in this category is sent to us.

iCloud sync

If you have iCloud enabled on your Apple devices, your routines and run history sync between your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV through Apple's CloudKit, in a private database tied to your Apple ID. We have no access to that database — only you (and Apple, per their privacy policy) do. Turning iCloud off in iOS Settings disables sync but keeps your local data.

HealthKit · heart rate (optional)

On Apple Watch, you can grant the app permission to read your live heart rate from HealthKit so it can show your BPM during a workout. Heart rate is:

• read only while a workout is active,
• mirrored to your iPhone over Apple's standard Watch Connectivity channel for the heads-up display,
• never logged by us and never sent to any server.

When a workout finishes, the Watch saves a single workout entry to HealthKit (so the run appears in the Fitness app); we don't write the underlying heart-rate samples back ourselves.

You can revoke access at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Interval Timer.

Workout sharing

When you explicitly tap "Share" on a routine, the app uploads the routine configuration only (its name, color, ordered list of cards, and durations) to our server at gettimer.app, which returns a short link you can send to a friend. That payload contains no personal information — no name, email, device identifier, location, or account data. The server stores the payload, the timestamp it was created, and a randomly-generated short identifier. You can delete a share you created from inside the app.

The server is run on Cloudflare Pages with a single Cloudflare D1 database. Standard Cloudflare request logs may be kept for short periods for abuse-prevention and reliability purposes.

Purchases

Interval Timer is sold as a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited routines. Purchases go through Apple's StoreKit — we receive only the receipt confirmation needed to unlock the feature. We never see your name, payment method, or Apple ID email.

Apple TV

The tvOS app uses the same iCloud sync as the iPhone app and stores no additional data. There is no network communication from the TV app beyond what iCloud provides.

What we do not collect

• No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking SDKs.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no ad SDKs).
• No crash-reporting service beyond Apple's standard, opt-in TestFlight / App Store crash logs.
• No location data.
• No contacts, calendars, or photos.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and does not target children specifically. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Your rights

Because we do not maintain accounts, identifiers, or personally-identifying records, there is generally nothing for us to look up, export, or delete on your behalf. Your routine and history data lives on your device and in your iCloud account — you control it directly via iOS Settings and the app. If you would like a share link you created to be deleted, you can do it from within the app, or email us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update this page and the "Effective" date above. The current version is always available at gettimer.app/privacy.
