Anaconda: Fight Interval Timer ("Anaconda Timer", "we", "our", or "the app") is a professional interval timer tailored for martial arts, boxing, MMA, and high-intensity interval training. We are committed to protecting your privacy and upholding data transparency. This Privacy Policy details what information is processed, why it is processed, and your rights regarding your data.
Core Philosophy: Offline-First & Privacy by Design. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, biometric data, or precise location data. Your training plans, custom sounds, and timer presets belong exclusively to you and reside on your local device.
All core functionalities operate offline. The following information is stored strictly within your device’s local application storage:
Timer Settings & Custom Presets: Rounds count, work intervals, rest periods, warning clapper timings, color themes, and display preferences.
Custom Audio Files: Any custom sounds or audio clips you record for signals are saved locally in the app's sandboxed document directory and are never uploaded to any remote servers.
The app requests optional microphone and speech recognition access solely for two user-initiated features:
Hands-Free Voice Control: Allows fighters wearing boxing gloves to control the timer (e.g., "Start", "Stop", "Next Round", "Add Time") without touching the screen. Spoken audio is processed in real-time on-device (via native operating system speech APIs such as Apple Speech Recognition on iOS or Google Speech Services on Android). Voice audio is never recorded to disk, never stored, never transcribed into personal profiles, and never transmitted to developer servers.
Custom Audio Recording: Enables you to record your own gong or alert signals using the microphone. Audio recordings remain 100% locally on your device.
Safety & Privacy Controls: Both permissions are optional, explicitly requested, pause automatically when the app is in the background or screen is locked, and can be revoked at any time in your device's system settings.
The app may request notification permissions to schedule local workout reminders and maintain the timer countdown in the status bar/lock screen via a foreground service. Local reminders are computed and scheduled on-device using local timezone data (100% offline).
To maintain app stability, prevent crashes during intense workouts, and deliver remote configuration updates, Anaconda Timer uses select industry-standard developer services provided by Google Firebase:
Firebase Crashlytics (Crash Diagnostics): Collects anonymized crash logs, stack traces, and device state information (e.g., OS version, device model) when an unexpected error occurs. This data is purely technical and contains no personal identifiers.
Firebase Analytics (Product Telemetry): Collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable app usage metrics (such as workout sessions started, preset categories used, or completed rounds). This helps us understand which features fighters use most and improve responsiveness. No advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID) are linked to personal identities, and data is never sold or used for behavioral ad targeting.
Firebase Remote Config: Periodically checks for application configuration parameters (e.g., default tournament rounds or update notifications). The app incorporates hardened offline fallback values ensuring zero degradation when training in gyms or basements without internet connectivity.
Anaconda Timer contains no third-party advertisements and does not sell, rent, monetize, or broker user data to data brokers or advertising networks.
Because your configurations and recordings are stored locally on your device, you have complete control over them. Uninstalling the application or clearing application data in your system settings permanently erases all locally stored presets, settings, and audio recordings.
Anaconda Timer is a sports utility application and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).
We implement strict platform-level security practices, sandboxed file storage, and encrypted communications (HTTPS/TLS) for any telemetry dispatched to Firebase services.
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app enhancements or legal requirements. Material updates will be indicated by the "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
