INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy describes how PomoPulse ("we", "our", or "the app") handles information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
By using PomoPulse, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. Please read this document carefully to understand how we handle your information.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
PomoPulse is designed with privacy as a priority. We want to be clear about what information the app accesses and stores.
Data Stored Locally on Your Device
PomoPulse stores the following types of data locally on your device:
1. Task Information
- Task titles and descriptions you create
- Priority levels you assign to tasks
- Estimated and completed pomodoro counts for tasks
- Task creation and completion dates
- Task completion status
2. Timer and Session Data
- Pomodoro session records (work sessions, short breaks, long breaks)
- Session start times and durations
- Whether sessions were completed or interrupted
- Associated task information for sessions
3. Statistics and Progress Data
- Daily, weekly, and all-time productivity statistics
- Streak information (consecutive days of activity)
- Total focus time calculations
4. App Preferences
- Theme preference (light or dark mode)
- Any other settings you configure within the app
All of this data is stored exclusively on your device using local storage mechanisms. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any external servers.
INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT
PomoPulse does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Account credentials or passwords
- Location data or GPS information
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Contact information or address book data
- Photos, videos, or media files
- Browsing history or search queries
- Financial information or payment details
- Health or fitness data
- Biometric data
- Communications or messages
- Any data from other apps on your device
We do not require you to create an account to use PomoPulse. The app functions entirely offline and does not need an internet connection for its core features.
DATA STORAGE AND SECURITY
Local Storage
All app data is stored locally on your device using standard mobile platform storage mechanisms. This includes:
- Shared Preferences for app settings and preferences
- Local database storage for tasks and session records
Your data remains on your device and under your control at all times.
Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends on your device security settings. We recommend:
- Using a device passcode or biometric lock
- Keeping your device operating system updated
- Being cautious about who has physical access to your device
Data Retention
Your data persists on your device as long as the app is installed. When you uninstall PomoPulse, all locally stored app data is automatically deleted by the operating system.
DATA SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
We Do Not Share Your Data
PomoPulse does not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to any third parties because:
1. We do not collect your data in the first place
2. All data remains stored locally on your device
3. We have no access to the information you enter into the app
No Third-Party Services
PomoPulse does not integrate with third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data brokers. The app does not contain advertisements and does not track your behavior for marketing purposes.
No Cloud Synchronization
PomoPulse does not offer cloud backup or synchronization features. Your data exists only on the device where you use the app. If you switch devices or uninstall the app, your data will not be transferred or preserved.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
PomoPulse is a general productivity application suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction).
Since the app does not collect any personal data and does not require account creation, there are no special concerns regarding children's data.
Parents and guardians can feel confident that their children can use PomoPulse without exposure to data collection, advertising, or inappropriate content.
YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Data Control
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information:
- Access: You can view all your data directly within the app
- Modification: You can edit or update your tasks and information at any time
- Deletion: You can delete individual tasks or uninstall the app to remove all data
- Export: The app does not currently offer data export features
Opt-Out
There is nothing to opt out of since we do not collect, track, or process your data externally.
PERMISSIONS
PomoPulse may request certain device permissions to function properly:
Vibration Permission
The app may request permission to use device vibration to alert you when timer sessions complete. This is optional and enhances the user experience.
Notification Permission
The app may request permission to send local notifications to alert you about timer completions. These notifications are generated locally and do not involve external servers.
We only request permissions that are necessary for app functionality. You can manage these permissions through your device settings at any time.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.
When we make changes:
- We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
- For significant changes, we may provide notice through the app or app store listing
- Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
PomoPulse is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for users in California
- Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) for users in the United States
- Other applicable regional and national privacy laws
Because we do not collect personal data, many provisions of these laws do not apply to our app. However, we remain committed to privacy principles including data minimization, purpose limitation, and transparency.
