Homework Timer for Kids respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and how users can contact us about privacy matters.
Homework Timer for Kids is designed as a simple visual homework timer for children and parents. The app is intended to work locally on your device and does not require an account.
1. Information We Collect
Homework Timer for Kids does not require users to create an account.
The app may store the following information locally on your device:
- Selected timer duration, such as 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes
- Selected subject, such as Math, Chinese, English, Reading, Revision, or Free Study
- Optional task note entered by the user, such as “Finish page 12”
- Timer session history, including session time, subject, date, completion status, and whether help was marked as needed
- App settings, such as default timer length, break length, alert preferences, vibration preference, and theme color
This information is used only to provide the app’s core features.
2. Children’s Privacy
Homework Timer for Kids is designed to support parents and children during homework and study time.
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app does not require a child’s name, email address, phone number, school name, location, photos, contacts, or other identifying information.
Parents should avoid entering sensitive personal information in the optional task note field.
3. How We Use Information
Information stored in the app is used to:
- Start and manage homework timer sessions
- Display visual countdown timers
- Save recent timer history
- Show weekly study time summaries
- Remember user preferences and settings
- Improve the user experience within the app
We do not use this information for advertising, tracking, profiling, or selling data.
4. Local Storage
Homework Timer for Kids is designed to store timer history and settings locally on your device.
This means that your timer data normally remains on your device and is not sent to our servers.
If you delete the app, locally stored data may also be deleted from your device.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data.
We do not share user data with advertisers.
We do not use third-party advertising SDKs.
We do not use user data for tracking across other apps or websites.
If future versions of the app add third-party services, analytics, cloud backup, or account features, this Privacy Policy will be updated before or when those features are introduced.
6. Analytics and Diagnostics
The current version of Homework Timer for Kids does not use third-party analytics services.
Apple may provide developers with aggregated and anonymized App Store or crash-related information through Apple developer tools. This information does not directly identify individual users and is used only to understand app performance and improve app quality.
7. Notifications
If the app offers timer alerts or reminders, notifications are used only to support timer-related functions, such as notifying you when a timer ends.
You can enable or disable notifications in your device settings at any time.
8. Permissions
Homework Timer for Kids is designed to request only the permissions needed for its functions.
Depending on the features used, the app may request permission for:
- Notifications, for timer alerts
- Sound or vibration settings, for timer completion alerts
The app does not require access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, precise location, or health data.
9. Data Retention
Timer session history and app settings remain stored on your device unless you delete them within the app, reset the app data, or delete the app from your device.
We do not maintain a separate server database of user timer history.
10. Data Security
We take privacy seriously and design the app to minimize data collection.
Because the app is designed to store data locally on your device, you are encouraged to protect your device with a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID where available.
No method of electronic storage is completely secure, but we aim to collect and store only the minimum information needed for the app to function.
11. International Users
Homework Timer for Kids may be available to users in different regions, including Hong Kong and other countries.
If you use the app, your locally stored data remains on your device unless a future feature clearly states otherwise and obtains any required permission.
12. Your Choices and Rights
You may:
- Stop using the app at any time
- Delete timer history if the app provides this function
- Delete the app to remove locally stored app data from your device
- Disable notifications in your device settings
- Contact us if you have privacy questions
If you believe that any personal data has been collected or stored and you wish to request access, correction, or deletion, please contact us using the email address below.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
