Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Countdown ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service:
- Event Data: The countdown events you create, including titles, dates, icons, and colors. This data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced to your iCloud account.
- Usage Data: Basic analytics to improve app performance (crash reports, app version).
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the countdown service
- To sync your events across your devices via iCloud (if enabled)
- To enable sharing countdowns with others via share links
- To process in-app purchases
- To improve app stability and performance
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your data is also stored in your personal iCloud account, managed by Apple. We do not operate our own servers for storing your event data. Apple's iCloud provides industry-standard encryption for data storage and transmission.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only:
- When you explicitly share a countdown with others via share links (the event details are encoded in the link itself)
- With Apple for iCloud sync functionality (governed by Apple's privacy policy)
- If required by law or to protect our rights
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your data stored in the app
- Delete your events at any time
- Request deletion of your account and all associated data
Children's Privacy
Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy in the app.
