Introduction

We at Dhika, the developers of Space Timers, respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information in the Space Timers app designed for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Information Collection

Personal Data

We do not collect any personal data. Space Timers does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information from its users to our servers or to any third parties.

Local Data

The app stores the following data locally on your device only (iOS, iPadOS, or macOS):

• Timer Data: Countdown durations, target times, T- and T+ states, and active timer status
• Preset Data: Saved presets, timer names, and reusable configurations
• Alert Settings: Warning alarms, labels, sounds, and other in-app settings

All this data:

• Is stored locally on your device only using local device storage
• Is not sent to our servers or any third-party servers
• Is not shared with any external companies or services
• Is not collected, tracked, or monitored centrally

Notifications and Permissions

The app may request notification permission so it can deliver local alerts before T0 and at T0. These notifications are created and handled locally on your device and are not sent through our servers.

Use of Information

Local data stored on your device is used only for:

• Running countdown and count-up timers
• Saving presets, alerts, and sound settings
• Organizing and reusing multiple timers
• Improving app performance on your device

We do not use the data for any other purposes, including:

• Marketing or targeted advertising
• Centralized behavioral analysis
• Sharing data with third parties

Sharing Data with Third Parties

We do not share any data with third parties.

Since the app does not collect any personal data and does not send any information to our servers, there is no data to share with third parties.

Apple Services

The app may use basic Apple services such as the App Store and local notifications, which are subject to Apple's privacy policy. Please review Apple's privacy policy to understand how Apple handles your data.

Data Storage and Retention

You can delete all data at any time by:

• Removing Timers and Settings from the App**: If the app provides an option to clear timers, presets, or settings within the app

Security

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Since all data is stored locally on your device only, data security depends on:

• Your device security (iOS, iPadOS, or macOS)
• Privacy and security settings on your device
• Security features built into Apple

We recommend using:

• A strong passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, or other appropriate device protection
