Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") governs the "beep!" iOS mobile application (the "Application" or "App"), developed and provided by our team ("we", "us", "our", "Licensor", "Provider") as a freemium service ("Service"). The Application is provided on an "AS IS" basis.

This Policy outlines:

• The types of data we collect and the purposes for collection;
• How your information is processed, stored, and protected;
• Your rights and choices regarding your personal data.

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we disclose:

• We collect anonymized analytics data (e.g., feature usage, session duration, device type, operating system) via third-party services (listed below) solely to:
  • Improve App functionality and performance;
  • Conduct business analytics;
  • Optimize marketing efforts.
• No personally identifiable information (PII) is linked to this data.
• We do not sell your data.

By using the Application, you acknowledge and consent to these practices. For inquiries or requests, contact us at inquiry@beeptimer.app.

The Application collects the following information:

1. User Provided Information

• Account Information (optional):

  We may process limited user-provided information when voluntarily submitted: this includes account registration details such as email address and name, though such registration remains entirely optional to access core App functionality.

• Support Communications: When you contact us via email or in-app support, we retain:
  • Your contact information (email address and name)
  • Device/OS details (to troubleshoot technical issues)
  • Correspondence history (for service quality purposes)

2. Automatically Collected Information

We collect anonymized data via third-party services (listed below) to improve the App:

• Anonymized Usage Data
• Anonymized Device Data
• Product Sales Information

The Application automatically gathers anonymized technical and behavioral data through integrated third-party services (listed below). This includes comprehensive usage metrics (session duration, feature engagement patterns, and interface interactions etc.), device specifications (hardware model, operating system version, and system language configurations etc.), and aggregated product sales analytics. Notably, all financial transactions are processed exclusively through secure platform payment systems, meaning we neither collect nor retain any payment instrument details or sensitive financial information.

We process collected information solely to operate and improve the App's service:

1. Service Delivery
   • Manage subscriptions and user accounts.
   • Ensure core App functionality

2. Performance & Improvements
   • Analyze crash reports and usage patterns (e.g., feature popularity) to fix bugs and optimize performance.
   • Conduct business analytics, including sales trends and marketing efforts (e.g., ASO/SEO optimization).

3. Future Development
   • Aggregated, anonymized data (e.g., device types, session length) guides new feature development.

We use collected information to operate and improve our application. This includes managing accounts/subscriptions and maintaining core functionality. We analyze crash reports and usage patterns to fix issues and optimize performance, while aggregated sales and marketing data (like ASO/SEO metrics) guide business decisions. All analytics use anonymized data to protect privacy while informing feature development and service enhancements.

To enhance and optimize the Application, we periodically transmit aggregated, anonymized data to external services. This data helps us improve the Application and our offerings.

Below are the third-party services we use, along with their privacy policies:

• Google Analytics
• Mixpanel
• RevenueCat
• Sentry

We exclusively share aggregated and anonymized data that cannot be used to identify individual users. All third-party providers operate under their own independent privacy policies, which govern their handling of shared information.

We uphold the highest standards of data protection by strictly adhering to two fundamental principles: we will never sell your personal data under any circumstances, and we only share information in the exact manner described within this Privacy Policy. These commitments form the foundation of our data practices and reflect our dedication to maintaining your trust through complete transparency regarding how your information is handled.

We may disclose your information under the following limited circumstances:

1. Legal Compliance

   When required by law (e.g., subpoenas, court orders, or regulatory investigations), provided we verify the legitimacy of the request and limit disclosure to what is strictly necessary.

2. Protection of Rights

   Where we believe, in good faith, that disclosure is essential to:

   • Prevent imminent harm to individuals
   • Investigate suspected fraud or security incidents
   • Defend against legal claims affecting our operations

3. Trusted Service Providers

   Shared only with vetted partners who:

   • Operate under strict confidentiality agreements
   • Process data solely per our instructions (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processors)
   • Comply with this Privacy Policy's standards

We will notify affected users of non-confidential disclosures when legally permitted.

Control Over Your Information

You may cease all data collection by uninstalling the Application through your device's standard removal processes or via the app distribution platform (e.g., App Store). Note that residual anonymized analytics may persist in aggregated reports but will no longer be associated with your identity.

Data Retention Practices

We retain:

• User-Provided Data (e.g., account information) only while your account remains active and for 30 days post-deletion to facilitate potential restoration.
• Automatically Collected Data in identifiable form for up to 24 months, after which it is permanently converted to non-reversible aggregate statistics.

Children's Privacy

The Application does not knowingly collect, solicit, or market to children under 13 years of age. If we inadvertently process such data, we will promptly delete it upon verification. Parents or guardians may contact us at inquiry@beeptimer.app to exercise rights on a child's behalf.

Additional Rights (GDPR/CCPA Compliance)

Where applicable by law, you may:

• Request access to or deletion of personal data
• Correct inaccuracies in your information
• Object to/restrict processing (beyond uninstall)
• Receive your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, please contact us with verification details. We respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.

We implement robust safeguards to protect your data throughout its lifecycle:

Data Transmission, Storage & Access

We employ industry-standard safeguards to secure your data:

• Encrypted Transfers: All internet data transmissions, including third-party analytics, use HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) to prevent interception or tampering.
• Local Device Storage: Usage metrics and user-generated content reside solely on your Apple device unless synced via iCloud.
• Cloud Backups: Additional sync features leverage Apple's iCloud infrastructure, benefiting from its end-to-end encryption and enterprise-grade security.
• Access Controls: Only authorized personnel with legitimate needs (e.g., troubleshooting) may access limited data subsets.

Your Role in Security

While we implement robust measures, your practices significantly impact protection:

• Network Safety: Avoid transmitting sensitive data over unsecured/public Wi-Fi networks.
• Device Integrity:
  • Refrain from jailbreaking your Apple device, as it bypasses built-in security protections.
  • Download the App only from the official App Store to avoid tampered versions.
• System Updates: Keep your device OS and the app updated to patch vulnerabilities.

Risk Awareness

While we adhere to industry standards for data protection, no system is impervious to all threats. We commit to:

• Promptly addressing identified vulnerabilities
• Notifying affected users of significant breaches as required by law
• Continuously evaluating our security practices against evolving risks

Disclaimer

While we implement robust protections, your adherence to these guidelines significantly reduces risks. Note that circumventing Apple's security protocols (e.g., sideloading/jailbreaking) may compromise our safeguards and void support eligibility.

By using the App, you acknowledge and agree to our collection, processing, and storage of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, including future updates.

"Processing" encompasses all operations involving your data, such as:

• Collection, storage, and analysis
• Anonymization and aggregation
• Transmission to third-party services (where disclosed)
• Deletion or retention per our data policies

Your continued use of the Application after policy revisions constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. Where required by law (e.g., for sensitive data), we will obtain explicit prior consent.

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service features. When material modifications occur, we will:

• Post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date
• Provide in-app notifications for significant changes (where feasible)

Your continued use of the application after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed.

This version is effective as of July 1, 2025.
