Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 October 2026

This policy covers the Simple Interval Timer Android app ("the app") and this website. The app is made by Ben Hansell, an individual developer in the United Kingdom, who is responsible for your data. You can contact him at intervaltimer@proton.me.

Ads

The app does not serve ads. It does not collect any of your data for advertising purposes or sell your data to anyone. Your phone probably does though. Make sure you're opted out of that.

On your device

Your sessions and settings are stored on your device and aren't sent to us. If you've turned on Android's backup feature, Android may include them in the backup it saves to your Google account, which we can't access.

Crash reports and usage analytics

To help us fix bugs and improve the app, it may send crash and error reports and performance measurements to Sentry, and anonymous usage statistics to PostHog. These may include details of the error, your settings, which features you use, the number and length of intervals in your sessions, your device model, Android version and language, the app's version, and a random identifier created by the app.

They never include your name, email address, advertising ID or Google account. You can turn crash reporting and usage analytics off at any time in the app's settings.

User feedback

Obviously, if choose to contact us (e.g. to send us a bug report) any personal information you choose to include is stored. This includes, for example, your email address if you send us user feedback via email, and your name, if you choose to sign of the email with your name.

Share links and this website

A shared session's details, including its name, are encoded in the text of the link itself. Anyone with the link can see them. Like all websites, this websites servers receive your IP address and the page you request, including the contents of any share link. The website doesn't use cookies or analytics.

Other services

Google Play handles installs and updates under Google's privacy policy, and gives us aggregate statistics and crash reports.

Text-to-speech uses your device's speech engine, which may process the spoken text online, depending on the engine you've chosen.

Additional details

• The limited data we store is on the basis of our legitimate interests in keeping the app working and improving it.
• Automatic crash and bug reports are stored for up to 90 days, usage statistics for up to 7 years.
• Sentry processes data in the United States. PostHog processes data in the European Union.
• You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Because the limited data the app sends automatically isn't linked to you, we usually can't tell which records are yours. But we can delete a bug report you sent with your email address.
• The app isn't aimed at children and treats everyone the same way.
• We may update this policy, in which case we'll also update the date at the top.
