Privacy Policy
Summary. CoolTime has no sign-up and uses no ads, tracking tools or third-party analytics. Your cooldown items and usage history are stored only on your device. The only things sent to the developer are anonymous usage statistics and error reports used to fix the app, and feedback you send yourself.
1. Information stored on your device
The following information is kept only in the app's storage on your iPhone and is not sent to any developer server. The developer does not run a server.
- Cooldown items you create: name, emoji, category, cooldown length, estimated cost
- Usage history: time of use, notes you wrote, actual cost, whether it was used during a cooldown
- Statistics calculated from these records (compliance rate, savings and so on)
- The summary shown by the Home Screen widget, stored in the app group space on your device and read only by the widget
If you delete the app, this information is deleted with it. If you delete an item in the app, the item and its records are deleted.
2. Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app sends local notifications scheduled on your device for when a cooldown ends. Nothing is sent outside your device for notifications, and the rest of the app works the same if you don't allow them.
3. Sending feedback
When you send feedback from Send feedback in Settings (including when you continue to send it after the app asks how you like it), the following information reaches the developer through Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) storage.
- What you wrote: feedback type, message, attached screenshot
- Your name and email for a reply, sent only if you enter them and not recorded if left blank
- App version, device type, iOS version, language setting
Feedback is used only to reply and improve the app and is not passed on to other companies. If you don't send it yourself, no feedback is sent. Sending feedback requires an iCloud sign-in, and you can also send it by email instead. To have feedback you sent deleted, tell us at the contact address below.
4. Anonymous usage statistics
To know how many people use the app and to fix errors, CoolTime sends the following anonymous statistics to Apple's iCloud (CloudKit). Only the developer reads them.
- A random ID created when you install, not linked to your device, Apple ID or other apps, and changed if you reinstall
- App version, iOS version, region and language settings
- How many times and on which days the app was opened, the install date and days since install
- In-app events, such as whether the satisfaction question appeared or feedback was sent, without what you sent
- Diagnostic reports when the app freezes or crashes: app version, iOS version, device type and technical details of the error
These do not include user content such as your name, contact details, location, cooldown items, usage history or amounts. They are sent only when your device is signed in to iCloud.
5. What we don't collect
- Accounts, names or phone numbers: there is no sign-in (the only exception is a reply address you enter yourself in feedback)
- Location, contacts, photo library, camera or health data: the app does not access them
- Advertising identifiers, tracking, or third-party analytics and ad SDKs: not used
- Cooldown items, usage history and amounts: never sent to the developer
6. Children's privacy
CoolTime is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to this policy
If the policy changes, we update this page and the effective date above. Changes that involve sending new data are also noted in the app update notes.
