🛡️ Privacy Overview

🔒 Privacy-First Design

HIIT & Run Interval Timer is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your workout data should stay with you, not with us.

This Privacy Policy describes how HIIT & Run Interval Timer ("we," "our," or "the app") handles information when you use our mobile application. Our commitment is simple: to provide you with a reliable interval timer while respecting your privacy.

By using our app, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you don't agree with our practices, please don't use the app.

📊 Data We Collect

Information We DON'T Collect

HIIT & Run Interval Timer is designed to be completely private. We do NOT collect:

  • Personal information (names, email addresses, phone numbers)
  • Workout data or exercise history
  • Location information
  • Health or fitness data
  • Device identifiers for tracking
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Contact lists or social media information

Technical Information

The only information that may be collected is basic technical data required for the app to function:

  • Device Audio Access: To play alert sounds during intervals
  • Background Refresh: To continue timing when the app is not active
  • Notification Permission: To alert you when segments change

💡 Local Storage Only

All your workout configurations (segments, durations, alert sounds) are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties.

🎯 How We Use Data

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal information for us to use. The technical permissions requested are used solely for:

App Functionality

  • Audio System: Playing interval alert sounds
  • Background Processing: Keeping your timer running when you switch apps
  • Notifications: Alerting you to segment changes
  • Local Storage: Saving your workout segments on your device

All data processing happens locally on your device. We have no servers collecting, storing, or processing your information.

🤝 Data Sharing

✅ Zero Data Sharing

We don't collect your data, so we can't share it. It's that simple.

HIIT & Run Interval Timer does not share, sell, rent, or trade any user information with third parties because we don't collect user information in the first place.

No Third-Party Services

Our app does not integrate with:

  • Analytics services
  • Advertising networks
  • Social media platforms
  • Cloud storage services
  • Marketing platforms

Legal Requirements

Since we don't collect data, there's no user data to disclose even if legally required. The only scenario where information might be relevant is if there are technical issues requiring app store logs, which would be handled by Apple, not us.

🔐 Data Storage & Security

Local Storage

All your workout data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage mechanisms. This includes:

  • Your custom workout segments
  • Timer preferences
  • Alert sound selections

Data Backup

Your workout configurations may be included in your device's iCloud backup if you have that feature enabled. This is managed entirely by Apple's systems, not by our app. We recommend checking your iCloud backup settings if you have privacy concerns about this.

Data Deletion

To delete all your data:

  • Delete the app from your device
  • All locally stored workout data will be permanently removed
  • If backed up to iCloud, manage through your iCloud settings

⚖️ Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data protection rights (like access, correction, or deletion requests) don't apply in the usual sense. However, you have complete control over your information:

Complete Control

  • Access: All your data is visible in the app interface
  • Modification: Edit segments and settings anytime
  • Deletion: Delete segments or the entire app
  • Portability: Your data stays on your device

No Account Required

Since there's no account system, there are no passwords to manage, accounts to close, or profiles to delete. Simply delete the app to remove all data.

👶 Children's Privacy

HIIT & Run Interval Timer is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect any personal information, there are no special considerations for children's data protection.

Parents can be confident that:

  • No personal information is collected from users of any age
  • The app contains no social features or communication tools
  • There are no advertisements or external links
  • All functionality is contained within the app

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-Friendly

The app is designed to be a simple, safe tool that the whole family can use for fitness timing without any privacy concerns.

🔄 Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. However, our core commitment to privacy will not change.

How We'll Notify You

If we make significant changes to this policy, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Provide notice through the App Store update description
  • For major changes, include an in-app notification

Your Continued Use

By continuing to use the app after policy updates, you accept the revised terms. If you don't agree with changes, you can stop using the app.
