Privacy Policy
Your work records stay on your phone. This policy explains the few things that don't, and the choices you have.
Summary
Work records stay on your device
Everything you enter in Clockdo is stored only in the app's storage on your device: jobs, hourly rates and currencies, overtime and pay period rules, shifts, breaks, tips, notes and the name you put on timesheets. It is never uploaded to us or to anyone else.
On iPhone, the Live Activity and widgets read the same on-device records. On Android, the ongoing notification, widget and Quick Settings tile do the same. Nothing about your hours or pay is sent to a server to show them.
Backups and exports
Backups and timesheets (PDF or CSV) are files that you create yourself. You decide where they go, for example iCloud Drive, the Files app, Google Drive, email or a message to your employer. Once you save or share a file somewhere, that service's own privacy terms apply. We never receive a copy.
What we collect
1. A hashed device identifier (free trial)
To decide when your 7-day free trial started, and to stop the trial being restarted by reinstalling the app, Clockdo creates a random identifier on your device and sends only a one-way hash of it (SHA-256) to our server. It contains no personal information and is not your advertising identifier. We store it with the date it was first seen. It is used only for the free trial and to prevent abuse.
2. Anonymous usage statistics
Clockdo uses Google Analytics for Firebase to learn which screens and features are used so we can improve the app. This includes screens viewed, features used (for example that you clocked in from a widget or exported a PDF), the app version, your device type and operating system, and a coarse country or region derived by Google from the network address. A random app-instance identifier created by Google Analytics is used to count events.
Never included: your hours, pay, rates, tips, notes, job names, timesheets or backups, your name or contact details, and the advertising identifier (IDFA / Android advertising ID).
If you are in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, usage statistics are off unless you choose to allow them when the app asks. Everywhere, you can turn them off at any time in Settings › Privacy. Data is processed by Google under its privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
3. Feedback you send
Only if you write a message in Settings › Send feedback and tap Send, Clockdo sends your message together with the app version, the platform (iOS or Android) and a random install identifier (used only to spot repeated or spam messages). Please don't include personal details in the message. We delete a message on request.
What we don't do
- No ads, and no advertising SDKs.
- No selling or renting of data.
- No tracking across other apps or websites. Clockdo does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA).
- No location. Clockdo does not request location permission.
- No contacts, photos, microphone or camera access.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never receive your name, email or payment details. The app asks the store whether you have an active purchase so it can unlock Premium.
Keeping and deleting data
- Work records: on your device until you delete them in the app or delete the app. We can't see or recover them.
- Hashed device identifier: kept so the free trial works fairly. Ask us and we will delete it.
- Usage statistics: kept by Google Analytics for up to 14 months.
- Feedback: kept until the issue is handled, or deleted sooner on request.
Your choices and rights
You can turn off usage statistics in Settings › Privacy, delete any shift or job in the app, and delete all on-device data by deleting the app. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold, or to object to its use. Because we don't link data to your identity, tell us roughly when you sent feedback or which device you used, and we'll do our best to find it. Contact us at the address below.
Children
Clockdo is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the effective date above. If a change affects what leaves your device, we'll also say so in the app's release notes.
Contact
Email dys0707y@gmail.com. We usually reply within a few days. Please don't send your timesheets or other personal records unless we ask for something specific to fix a problem.
