TimeTrack Privacy Policy
TimeTrack is a personal time and mileage tracker. This policy explains how the Android and iOS apps handle information. The first sections apply to both; advertising applies to Android only.
Both platforms: data on your device
Your entries stay on your phone
Timer sessions, tasks, time blocks, clients/projects, billable flags, weekly hour targets, mileage entries, notes, your profile and settings are stored only in a local database on your device. TimeTrack has no accounts and no cloud sync, and we do not run servers that receive your entries. Your entries are never sent to our advertising partner.
Profile and photo
You can add a name, an optional role or company, and a profile photo. These are stored only on your device; there is no account. On Android, gallery photos are chosen through the system photo picker, so TimeTrack does not get access to your photo library. The camera is used only when you tap “Take photo”. The saved copy of your photo has its location data removed. iPhone details are in the iOS section below.
Alerts
If you turn on an alert for a timer or time block, TimeTrack asks for notification permission and schedules a local notification on your device. No push service is used; alerts are scheduled on your device. Exact-time alerts are optional; by default alerts are approximate.
Location
The current version of TimeTrack does not access device location and does not request location permissions. Automatic mileage (if added later) would require a clear in-app disclosure and your permission first.
Export
You can export a timesheet (for example the current week or month) as a CSV file. Export uses your device’s system share sheet only — you pick where the file goes (email app, Files, Drive, etc.). TimeTrack does not upload exports to our servers and does not send email by itself.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. Your entries are shared only when you choose a destination in the system share sheet after an export you started. On Android, the advertising information described below is collected by Google AdMob, not by us.
Deletion
You can remove all local app data anytime: open Settings → Clear all data, confirm, and the on-device database, your profile and photo are wiped and settings reset. The app remains usable afterward with empty data. On Android, advertising data held by Google is controlled through your advertising ID settings and Google My Ad Center.
Android: ads (Google AdMob)
Advertising (Google AdMob)
TimeTrack is free and shows banner ads on some screens (Week, Month and Mileage). Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and sends to Google information such as:
- Your device’s advertising ID and other device identifiers
- Approximate location derived from your IP address (TimeTrack does not give AdMob your device’s GPS location)
- Interactions with ads (for example views and taps) and diagnostic information about ad performance
Google processes this information under its own policies: see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Consent and your ad choices
If you are in the UK, the EEA or Switzerland, TimeTrack asks for your consent through Google’s consent message before any ad is requested. You can change your choice anytime in Settings → Privacy & ad choices. If you do not consent to personalised ads, you may still see non-personalised ads, which use limited data such as approximate location.
On Android you can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your phone’s Settings → Privacy → Ads (wording varies by device).
iOS: no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs that collect data
The iPhone version of TimeTrack shows no ads and contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. It does not track you, does not use the advertising identifier, and does not send your data to us or anyone else. The iPhone app collects no data and makes no network calls; alerts are local notifications only. The Android advertising section above does not apply to iPhone.
Profile photo and camera (iPhone)
Library photos are chosen through Apple’s system photo picker, so TimeTrack does not get access to your photo library and no Photos permission is requested. The camera is used only after you tap “Take photo”; iOS asks for camera permission and, if you decline, the rest of the app keeps working. The photo stays on your device with its location data removed, and can be removed anytime by changing it or with Settings → Clear all data.
Changing your choices on iPhone
Camera access: iPhone Settings → TimeTrack → Camera. Notifications: Settings → TimeTrack → Notifications. There are no ad or tracking choices on iPhone because there are no ads.
General
Children
TimeTrack is not directed at children under 13, and ads (Android only) are not intended for children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above. Material changes that affect data handling (for example, adding location) will be reflected in the app and in Google Play Data safety and App Store privacy disclosures.
