Privacy Policy for Slate Timer

Last Updated: September 2026

The Slate Timer Development Team ("we," "our," or "us") provides the Slate Timer mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy describes how your information is handled when using our offline time-blocking utility.

        Zero-Data Architecture: Slate Timer is engineered with privacy as its primary foundation. We do not collect, transmit, store, sell, or monitor any personal data or usage analytics whatsoever.
    

1. Information Collection and Use

Slate Timer operates strictly as a standalone offline utility. It does not require user registration, profile creation, or external network access. We do not collect or process:

Personally identifiable information (such as name, email address, or physical address).
Device identifiers, IP addresses, advertising IDs, or hardware identifiers.
Time-blocking logs, custom interval inputs, or productivity metrics.

All active timer sessions and interval parameters exist purely in your device's temporary runtime memory while the application is actively running.

2. System Permissions

Slate Timer adheres to a strict zero-permission model. The application declares no sensitive system permissions in its manifest:

No Internet Permission (android.permission.INTERNET): The application cannot access the internet, connect to remote servers, or transmit data off your device.
No Storage Permission: The app does not read, write, or inspect your shared photos, media, or files.
No Location or Sensor Permissions: Slate Timer does not access your physical location or hardware sensors.

All focus countdowns, high-contrast dark theme renderings, and tactile haptic vibration alerts utilize standard local Android platform frameworks requiring no manifest permission declarations.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

We do not integrate any third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs), cloud-sync APIs, ad networks, or crash-reporting services (such as Firebase Analytics, AdMob, or third-party trackers). Your focus workflow remains completely private to your device.

4. Children's Privacy

Slate Timer is designed for users of all ages. Because the application does not collect, record, or share any personal data under any circumstance, it is fully compliant with child privacy regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly to this public page with a revised "Last Updated" timestamp.
