My Hours does not collect any of your data. Not your hours, not your pay, not your name, not an identifier. Nothing.
This is not a promise we are asking you to take on faith. The app does not request the Android internet permission, so the operating system itself blocks it from sending anything anywhere. You can verify this: on your phone, open Settings → Apps → My Hours → Permissions.
There is no account to create, no server to sync with, and no company that receives your information.
Everything you enter lives in a database inside the app's private storage on your device:
The jobs you create, with their name and hourly rate
Every shift: start time, end time, breaks
Your settings: pay period, usual schedule, reminders
Android keeps this storage private to the app. Other apps cannot read it.
When you uninstall My Hours, all of it is deleted with the app. We keep no copy, because we never had one.
When you tap Export, the app writes a plain-text file and hands it to Android's file picker, where you choose the destination — your Drive, a chat, a memory card.
That file is yours. It never passes through us. Once you save it somewhere, whatever privacy policy applies is that of the place you chose, not ours.
The file is plain text on purpose: you can open it with any text editor and read exactly what is in it.
Notifications — To show the running timer while you are clocked in, and the optional reminders. You can deny it and the app still works.
Run at startup — To restore that notification after you restart your phone. It does not run anything else.
Three more permissions (WAKE_LOCK, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE) are added automatically by an Android system library the home screen widget depends on. The app does not use them to do anything, and none of them can send data — without the internet permission, network access is blocked regardless.
What the app does not ask for, and will not: location, contacts, camera, microphone, files outside the one you pick, phone, or SMS.
None of the three. The app contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporting and no advertising library.
Advertising is planned for a future version. Clocking in and out and your backup will be free and ad-free, always. If that ever changes, it changes here first and this page will say so, with the date.
The app is intended for people who work for an hourly wage and is not directed at children under 13. Since no data is collected from anyone, none is collected from children either.
Data protection laws give you the right to access, correct, export and delete your personal data.
With this app those rights are already in your hands, without asking us: your data is on your phone, you can edit it in the app, you can export it with one tap, and uninstalling deletes it. We have nothing of yours to hand over or erase.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the previous versions stay reachable at this same address.
