Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026

ClockKeepers is a shared timer you can use with no account. We built it to collect as little as possible. This page explains exactly what that means.

What a broadcast timer stores

When you broadcast a timer, the only thing saved is the timer's live state: the label and program you set up (kind, segments, rounds), the board name and message line if you typed one, the chosen display theme and sound, and a random code that identifies the board. This is stored on our hosting provider's database (Google Firebase / Cloud Firestore) so that every screen that opens the same link or code sees the same live countdown.

A broadcast is identified only by its random code. Anyone with the link or code can view it, and, if you leave "anyone can control" turned on, can start, pause or adjust it too. So please don't put anything private or personal into a board name, message, or timer label.

Logo upload (ClockKeepers Pro)

If you add a logo to a Pro board, it's stored alongside that board's data, keyed to the same random code, so every screen showing your board can display it. It is not linked to your identity, just to the code.

On your device

ClockKeepers keeps your current timer, your presets, and your light/dark and sound preferences in local storage on your device so the app picks up where you left off. This never leaves your device, and clearing your app data or browser storage removes it.

Optional anonymous analytics

ClockKeepers may use Firebase Analytics to understand which features are used, for example, that a timer was started or a broadcast began. These events are anonymous and identify only the event name, never a board code, board name, or anything you typed. This can be used to improve the app; it is never sold.

In-App Purchase

ClockKeepers Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. We never see or store your payment information. Apple's own privacy policy covers that transaction.

What we don't do

• We don't use advertising or third-party ad/tracking SDKs.
• We don't create user profiles or fingerprint your device.
• We don't sell, rent, or share data with advertisers.

Data retention

Broadcast timers are meant to be temporary. We may periodically clean up old, inactive boards. Because boards hold no personal information and are keyed only by a random code, there's nothing tied to your identity to remove.

Children

ClockKeepers is a general-audience timer tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
