Tick is built by Focal Studio. This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and how you can remove it. If anything here is unclear, email focalstudio.apps@gmail.com.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
- App content — the clock faces, themes, and timer settings you configure. This stays on your device.
Information collected automatically
- Anonymous usage analytics — which screens are opened and which features are used, so we can see what needs improving. This is not linked to your name or email, and you can turn it off entirely (see below).
2. Where Your Data Lives
Your app content is stored locally on your device. It is never transmitted to us or to any third party, and it is cleared if you uninstall the app.
The one exception is the anonymous usage analytics described below, which is sent to the third-party service listed in the next section. It contains no app content and nothing identifying you.
3. Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| PostHog | Anonymous product analytics | Anonymous usage events only |
4. Turning Off Analytics
Analytics is optional. Open Settings → Privacy → Analytics in the app and turn the Analytics toggle off. No further usage events are sent from that point on, and your choice persists across app restarts and updates.
5. Permissions
Tick requests only the permissions it needs:
- Notifications — optional; used only for timers and reminders you set yourself. Denying this does not limit any other feature.
6. How to Delete Your Account and Data
You can delete your account and its data at any time, directly in the app:
- Open Settings.
- Scroll to Danger Zone.
- Tap Delete Account and confirm.
Deleted immediately and permanently:
- Your local account and sign-in credentials
- Your clock faces, themes, and timer settings
- All app data stored on the device
Retained, and why:
- Anonymous analytics events — they contain no information identifying you and therefore cannot be traced back to a deleted account
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Deletion is available as described above; for any other request, email focalstudio.apps@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's Privacy
Tick is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, email focalstudio.apps@gmail.com and we will delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version. Material changes will be surfaced in the app.
