privacy policy
last updated: 05 mar, 2026
interval is designed to be privacy-first.
data collection is intentionally minimized and tracking is avoided.
1
data we collect
interval does not collect personal data such as name, email address, or contact information inside the app ui.
interval does not use analytics sdks, ad sdks, or user-tracking technologies.
2
local data storage
interval stores app settings and usage/statistics data locally on your device.
where required for app functionality, local state may include app preferences and secure local records stored using system storage mechanisms (such as userdefaults and keychain).
3
network usage
interval may access the internet only for operational purposes, including:
validating purchase/subscription status via Apple services,
checking and downloading app updates (where applicable),
limited app-operational checks required for functionality.
interval does not send analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking requests.
4
device identification
interval may access basic device/app environment information required for core operation and account/purchase state handling provided by apple platforms.
this information is used only for app functionality and is not used for advertising profiling.
5
accessibility (macOS)
interval may request accessibility permission to:
enable global hotkeys,
detect activity/inactivity events for timer automation (idle pause/resume/reset).
input content is not recorded (no keystroke text logging).
activity checks are used only for timer behavior.
6
notifications
interval may request notification permission to send app-related timer reminders and status notifications.
notification permissions can be changed at any time in macOS settings.
7
payments
payments, subscriptions, and billing are handled by apple through the app store.
interval does not process payment card data directly.
refunds, subscriptions, and billing rights are managed under apple’s app store terms and policies.
8
third parties
interval does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
for the app store version, payment and purchase infrastructure is provided by apple.
operational infrastructure may include update delivery channels where applicable.
9
data control
most app data is local to your device.
removing the app removes local app container data, but some secure items (such as keychain entries) may remain unless manually removed.
any purchase/account records are managed by apple according to apple policies.
10
your control
you can:
disable notifications,
deny/revoke Accessibility permission,
manage purchases through your apple id/app store settings.
