Privacy Policy

1. COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may collect information about you in a very limited way. All your data — countdown events, trips, packing lists, day plans, travel journal entries, focus sessions, medications, schedules, dose history, presets, images, and other content — is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data. The only information we collect includes:

• Analytics Data: We use Google Firebase and Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics and crash reports. This helps us improve the app's performance and fix bugs. This data cannot be tied to your personal identity.
• Device Information: Basic device information such as your device model and operating system version may be collected as part of crash reports to help us troubleshoot issues.

2. USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The limited information we collect is used solely for:

• Improving the Application through analytics and crash reports.
• Ensuring the app functions correctly on your device.
• Enhancing the user experience based on anonymous usage patterns.

All analytics data is anonymous and aggregated. The Application does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, and no advertising identifiers are collected.

3. DATA STORAGE AND PRIVACY

We take your privacy seriously across all our apps:

• Local Storage: All your data — countdown events, trips, packing lists, day plans, travel journal entries, focus timer sessions, medications, schedules, dose history, presets, categories, images, and other content — is stored locally on your iOS device. We do not have access to this data.
• Optional Calendar Sync (Kounts only): If you enable Calendar Sync in Kounts, your countdown events are written into your Apple Calendar on your device. This happens entirely on-device and the data never passes through our servers.
• Shared Trips & iCloud (Kounts Trip): Your trips are kept on your device and in your own private iCloud database, managed by Apple through CloudKit. When you share a trip, that trip's details — its name, dates, packing list, day plans and journal — sync through Apple's CloudKit sharing only to the people you invite. This data lives in your iCloud account; it never touches our servers and we cannot read it.
• Shared Photos (Kounts Trip): Photos you attach to a memory that you deliberately share to a shared trip are uploaded to your iCloud so your invited companions can see them. Photos in private (unshared) memories never leave your device.
• Weather (Kounts Trip): Arrival forecasts come from Apple Weather (WeatherKit) using the destination you type into a trip. Kounts Trip never reads your device location — the destination is content you enter, and Apple processes the forecast request under Apple's terms.
• Calendar & Photos permissions (Kounts Trip): With your permission, Kounts Trip can add trip dates to your Apple Calendar and save a recap or countdown card to your photo library. These actions happen on-device; we never receive this data.
• Live Activity (Kounts Flow & Kounts Trip): When you start a focus session (Kounts Flow) or reach a trip's departure day (Kounts Trip) with Live Activities enabled, a timer or countdown is displayed on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. This is rendered entirely on-device using local data.
• Optional iCloud Sync (Kounts Dose only): If you turn on iCloud sync (part of the one-time Dose Plus purchase), your medications, schedules and dose history are kept in your own private iCloud database, managed by Apple through CloudKit. This data is stored only in your iCloud account — it never touches our servers and we cannot read it. Sync is off by default.
• Health & Medication Content (Kounts Dose): Your medicines, dosages, schedules and dose history are treated as private, on-device content. We never collect, receive, or have access to medication names, doses, or any other health content — analytics record only anonymous, aggregated feature counters, never what you take.
• No Private Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or have access to your private names, event details, session notes, medication details, locations, or images you add to your data.
• Third-Party Services: We only use Google Firebase and Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics and crash reporting. These services are configured without advertising identifiers and do not track you across other apps or websites.

4. TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use Firebase Analytics to help us understand how users interact with our Application. This service collects anonymous usage data. No personally identifiable information is collected through this technology. Firebase Crashlytics is used to identify and fix app crashes. Neither service uses advertising identifiers or tracks you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

5. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

Since all your content is stored locally on your device, the security of this data depends on your device's security settings. We recommend using device passcodes, Face ID, or Touch ID to protect access to your device. For the limited analytics data we collect, we use industry-standard security measures through Google Firebase.

6. APP STORE PRIVACY NUTRITION LABELS

In accordance with Apple's App Store guidelines, we disclose how data is handled:

• Your event and session data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to us or to our servers.
• Anonymous analytics and crash report data is collected through Google Firebase and is not linked to your identity.
• Kounts Flow analytics are limited to coarse, bucketed values (e.g. session duration ranges, category IDs) and never include free-text or personally identifiable information.
• Kounts Dose does not collect health data. Your medications, schedules and dose history stay on your device (or, if you enable sync, only in your private iCloud database, which Apple treats as not collected because we cannot read it). Its analytics record only anonymous feature counters, never medication names or doses.
• Kounts Trip's only collected data is anonymous, aggregated usage and crash reports, which are not linked to your identity. Your trips, packing lists, day plans, journal and photos stay on your device — or, when you share a trip, only in your private iCloud database and with the companions you invite, which Apple treats as not collected because we cannot read it. Weather forecasts use the destination you type, not your device location.

7. GDPR & DATA PROTECTION

Because your event and session data is stored only on your own device, we never see, access, or process this data. As such:

• We are not a data controller for your event data, which never leaves your device through us.
• The only data we may process is anonymous analytics and crash reports, which cannot be tied to your personal identity.

8. POLICY FOR CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary actions.

9. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
