Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 14, 2026

Contact: Email address shown under Developer contact details on the Google Play listing for Kids Timer: Routine & Chores (package name dev.bird.kidtimer).

This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in the Kids Timer: Routine & Chores mobile application for Android ("the app", "we").

We do not operate our own analytics, ads, profiling, cloud sync, or other backend servers for the routines and timers you configure. The app is built to store your routine-related data locally on your device unless you uninstall the app or use device backup systems as explained below.

Who the app is for

Kids Timer: Routine & Chores is intended for families. Children can use the visual timer to follow routines and chores, while parents and caregivers create and manage routines, reminders, rewards, purchases, and privacy controls. The app is designed for younger children, especially early childhood and early elementary routines.

The app can be configured with an optional display name used in greeting text locally on your device only. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for our own advertising or profiling purposes, and routine content is not sent to us. Routine content you enter stays on device under your control unless your device/OS backup restores it elsewhere.

Information the app stores on your device

Depending on how you use the app, the following may be stored locally (typically in the app's private storage on your device):

• Routines ("scenarios") — titles, schedules, durations, reminders, icons/colors/themes, timer and reminder preferences

• Tasks — names, durations, order, visuals, importance flags, completion checks you use in the UI

• Optional child display name — used only for on-device greetings

• Reminders — weekday/times so the app can wake you before a routine starts

• Sounds — references such as URIs pointing to melodies or cues you chose on device (similar to picking a ringtone)

• Custom picture themes — if you choose a photo, it is copied into the app's private internal storage (not publicly shared by the app)

• Premium unlock state — a boolean indicating whether Premium is unlocked

• In-app prompts — coarse state about whether you were asked about rating feedback (stored locally; stars are managed by Play, not by us directly)

These items describe app behavior consistent with offline-first routines; if a future release changes what is stored or transmitted, we will update this Policy and Play's Data safety disclosure as needed before shipping.

Purchases

If you purchase or restore Premium, Google Play's billing services handle the transaction on Google's infrastructure. Purchase handling may involve identifiers and billing information processed under Google's policies (Google Privacy Policy). We do not receive your payment card details through the app. We rely on Play to communicate whether you own the Premium entitlement so the app can enable Premium features locally.

Because billing uses Google Play services on your device, some network connectivity may occur with Google Play when you initiate or restore purchases, even though the released app does not declare the standard Android INTERNET permission for the app's general network access.

When you tap Check for updates, the app asks Google Play whether a newer version is available. That check uses Google Play on your device and may involve app/version metadata processed under Google's policies. We do not receive your routine or timer content from that check.

You can review or manage subscriptions and purchases in your Google Account / Play Store settings according to Google's tools.

What we do not do (developer-controlled)

Except as reasonably needed for billing through Google Play as described above, we aim for the following:

• No ads

• No third-party analytics or crash SDKs configured by us

• No behavior-based tracking or sale of your routine/timer content

• No developer-operated cloud account that syncs scenario content between devices

Routine scenario text and timings you configure are not intended to leave your device via our servers, because we don't operate that kind of backend for routine data.

Android permissions used

Android may show permission prompts consistent with reminders and alarms. The app declares permissions aligned with alarms, reminders, timers, vibrations, foreground reliability, reboot rescheduling, and lock-screen/full-screen alerting where supported. These permissions are used so scheduled reminders, visible timer notifications, sounds, vibration, reboot rescheduling, and lock-screen/full-screen reminder behavior can work reliably. They are not used to collect unrelated personal data.

Notifications

If you grant notification permission on supported Android versions, the app can show reminders and timer-related notifications locally. If you revoke permission or adjust system settings (for example Android 13+ notifications or Android 14+ full-screen intents), reminders may degrade or behave less prominently as designed.

How to delete your data {#data-deletion}

Kids Timer: Routine & Chores stores routine data locally on your device. There is no cloud account or developer server copy of your routines to delete. You can erase data as follows.

Delete everything in the app (recommended)

1. On the home screen, tap the gear icon (parent area). If the parent math gate is enabled, solve the short expression to continue.

2. Open the Settings tab in the parent bottom navigation.

3. Scroll to Privacy & data.

4. Tap Delete all data on this device and confirm.

This removes all routines, tasks, reminders, statistics, custom photos, optional child display name, and app preferences on this device. The app will show first-time setup again. If you purchased Premium, it can be restored from Google Play on the same Google account.

Delete individual items

You can delete individual routines, tasks, or reminders from their edit screens in the parent area.

Delete by uninstalling

Uninstalling the app removes app-private storage on the device, consistent with Android rules. You can also clear storage from Android Settings → Apps → Kids Timer → Storage, which has the same effect as deleting all in-app data.

Purchases and billing

Google Play billing history and purchase records are managed in your Google Account / Play Store settings according to Google's tools. We do not receive payment card details through the app.

Questions

For data-deletion questions, use the email shown under Developer contact details on the Google Play listing for Kids Timer: Routine & Chores (package name dev.bird.kidtimer).

Data retention

• Device backup / transfers: Depending on Android and account settings (backup & restore, ADB backup, transferring to another device), data may persist or be restored alongside other apps unless you wipe backups or revoke backup. Evaluate device backup visibility if routines should not leave the handset.

• Google Play Billing records: Billing history is retained and managed according to Google's retention and account tooling.

We do not run a centralized "routine database" deletion flow because we do not store your scenario content off-device on developer servers today.

International users

Kids Timer: Routine & Chores is distributed through Google Play. If you download it from jurisdictions with privacy frameworks (EU/UK, etc.), you may have rights concerning personal data governed by applicable law. Routine content is predominantly local. For purchase-related inquiries, consult Google Account data tools and billing support routes.

Because we rely on locally stored data rather than centralized accounts tied to routines, verifying or exporting "cloud" routine data typically means using device export/backups—not a publisher login dashboard.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this page to reflect Play policy requirements, clarity improvements, app features, dependencies, or law where applicable.

Effective date: Stated above; Material privacy changes: we will revise this document and mirror required Play Console disclosures (for example Data safety answers) alongside store updates.

Continuing to use the app after the effective date of an update signifies acceptance unless law requires consent for new processing.

Thank you for using Kids Timer: Routine & Chores.
