Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. Your data stays on your device and in your Google Calendar - we don't store your personal calendar information on our servers.

🔒 Privacy-First & Open Source

Your calendar data stays exactly where it belongs - on your device and in your Google Calendar.

Unlike other time tracking apps, Where is My Time operates with a privacy-first approach. We only read your calendar events temporarily to display them in the app and create time entries. We do not store, backup, or transfer your calendar data to our servers. This means zero risk to your privacy and complete control over your personal information.

🌟 Fully Open Source: Our code is publicly available on GitHub, so you can verify our privacy practices yourself. Complete transparency, zero hidden code.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you use our services. This includes your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide. We also collect information automatically when you use our services, such as your IP address, device information, and usage data.

Important: Your Google Calendar Data - To integrate with Google Calendar, we require read-access to your calendar data. However, this data is only accessed temporarily and is never stored on our servers. Your calendar information remains solely on your device and in your Google Calendar account. We only read calendar events to display them within the app interface for time tracking purposes.

Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.

Usage Information: We collect information about how you use our app, including features used, time spent in the app, and interaction patterns to improve our services.

Third-Party Services and Analytics

Our app may use third-party services for analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring. These services may collect information about your device and app usage:

  • Google Analytics: For app usage analytics and user behavior insights
  • Firebase: For authentication, database services, and crash reporting
  • Google Play Services: For Google Calendar integration and authentication

These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing their use of information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, to communicate with you, and to personalize your experience. Your Google Calendar data is accessed only for display purposes within Where is My Time and to create time entries based on those events - it is never stored on our servers. We may use anonymized and aggregated app usage information (not calendar data) for research and development purposes to enhance our app's functionality.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. Most importantly, we do not store or share your Google Calendar data at all - it stays on your device and in your Google account. We may share limited account information with third-party service providers who assist us in providing our services, such as cloud hosting for app functionality (not calendar data storage). We may also disclose your information if required by law or if we believe it is necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. Specifically:

  • Account Information: Retained until you delete your account
  • Google Calendar Data: Never stored on our servers - remains only on your device and Google account
  • Usage Analytics: Anonymized app usage data (not calendar content) may be retained for up to 2 years for service improvement
  • Support Communications: Retained for 3 years to provide ongoing support

When you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and implement appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@whereismytime.com.

Your Choices and Controls

You have control over your data. You may access, update, or delete your information through your account settings. You can also revoke our access to your Google Calendar at any time through your Google account settings. You may also opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications.

Account Deletion: You can delete your account at any time through the app settings. This will remove all your personal data from our systems within 30 days.

Data Export: You can request a copy of your data by contacting us. We will provide your information in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new privacy policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date.
