Privacy Policy – Multi-tasking timer (iTimer)

1. Who we are

This privacy policy applies to the Android app Multi-tasking timer (iTimer), published on Google Play by the developer ananshop. ananshop is the developer name of NINGANTAI, an individual developer in Taiwan, who is responsible for the app and for this policy. “We”, “us” and “our” mean NINGANTAI.

2. What we collect

We do not collect, sell or share any personal data. The app has no account system, no ads, and no analytics or tracking SDK. It does not ask for internet access and does not send data to any server run by us.

3. Data kept on your device

• Timers – for each of the eight timers, the name you give it, its hours, minutes and seconds, its alarm sound, whether Repeat is on, and, while it is counting down, when it is due to ring, so that it rings on time after the app is closed or updated.
• Display settings – the digit font and card color you picked.
• Rating dialog – how many countdowns have finished and when the app last offered the rating dialog.

This stays on your device. If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include your timers and display settings in your device backup, which Google manages, or carry them to a new phone when you transfer your data. The rating dialog record is left out of both.

4. Notifications

While the app is in the background, a notification counts down each running timer, and another one tells you when a timer has finished. These notifications show the timer’s name, so depending on your Android notification settings, the name may be visible on the lock screen. Notifications are shown by Android on your device; nothing is sent to us.

5. Google services the app uses

The app uses the Google services below, through the Google Play Store app on your device. Data they handle is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. We do not receive it.

• Google Play Licensing – checks with Google Play that this copy of the app was obtained from Google Play.
• Google Play In-App Review – may show Google’s rating dialog after you close the font or card color picker with no countdown running, once a few countdowns have finished, and no more than once a month. Ratings and reviews you submit go to Google Play.

6. Permissions

• Notifications – to show the countdown and finished-timer notifications. On Android 13 and later the app asks for it on first launch; you can decline.
• Alarms & reminders (exact alarms) – to ring at the exact second a countdown ends.
• Prevent phone from sleeping – so that a countdown that ends while the screen is off still rings.
• Run foreground service – to play the finished-timer sound, for a few seconds, while the app is in the background.
• Run at startup – after the phone restarts, to clear countdowns that the restart interrupted, so that no timer rings late for a time set before it.
• Check license – for the Google Play license check.

The alarm sounds and fonts are built into the app. The app does not access your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, music or files.

7. Links

The website and email entries in the About window (the info button) open our website or your email app. What you send us by email is used only to reply to you.

8. Children

Because the app collects no personal data, it collects none from children.

9. Deleting your data

• To delete the timers and settings saved on your device, clear the app’s storage in Android Settings, or uninstall the app.
• We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete. If you have a question, email us.

10. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
