Shogo Numasawa (the “Operator”) explains how information is handled in TimaLoop and through its support service.

1. Our approach

TimaLoop is a clock and timer app that does not require account registration. It contains no advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or user-tracking systems. The App also has no mechanism that automatically sends app usage data to the Operator’s servers.

Information handled only on your device is treated differently from information you choose to submit through the support form.

2. Information handled on your device

• Settings, timers, presets, laps, and history: These are handled in the App’s storage to provide its features and restore their state. The App and extensions, such as its widget, may use shared storage on the same device.
• Background photos: The App reads only the image you select through the photo picker and saves a copy on your device for background display. It does not send the image to the Operator or request access to your entire photo library.
• Calendar: If you enable the feature and grant permission in iOS, the App reads event information to display your next event and count down to its start. It does not add or change events or send them to the Operator. You can disable the feature in the App and change calendar permission in iOS Settings.
• Device tilt: When supported visual effects are enabled, device orientation information is used to animate the clock’s tilt and reflections. It is not sent to the Operator.
• Alarms: With your permission, the App uses iOS alarm functionality to notify you when a timer ends.

You can use the other core features without enabling these optional features. Available permissions and features vary by device and operating system.

3. Information received through the support form

Support uses Google Forms. Only if you submit the form will the Operator receive the information you enter, such as your message, an optional reply address, device model, operating system, and app version.

This information is used to respond to inquiries, investigate issues, consider improvements, and address abusive submissions. A reply address is optional. Without one, we cannot send an individual reply or ask follow-up questions.

Do not submit passwords, Apple Account credentials, payment details, other people’s personal information, or unnecessary event titles or photos.

4. Notion, Google, and other external services

The support pages, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy are published using Notion, and inquiries use Google Forms. Form responses are stored using Google’s services and reviewed by the Operator. When you use these services, their providers may process cookies, IP addresses, and other information under their own policies. See Notion’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Simply visiting the support site does not automatically send your data from inside the App to the form. The Operator does not sell support information or use it for advertising. Personal information is not disclosed beyond service providers needed to handle support, except with your consent, where required by law, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

App Store purchases and refunds, Apple diagnostic-data sharing, device backups such as iCloud, and operating-system syncing are governed by your settings and policies such as Apple’s Privacy Policy. The App does not provide its own cloud-sync service.
