Thank you for choosing to be part of our community by using Tick Talk ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.
This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through our mobile application, Tick Talk (the "App"), and any related services.
1. Information We Collect
Local Data and Preferences
We do not actively request or collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number within the App. All of your app preferences, including timer intervals, clock statuses, and quiet hours, are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to any external servers by the core app functionality. Audio files for time announcements are bundled directly with the App and do not require network access.
Information Automatically Collected
We may automatically collect certain information when you use or navigate the App. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as your operating system, device characteristics, language preferences, device name, country, and information about how you use our App.
Third-Party Services:
The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you, primarily for analytics, remote configuration, and crash reporting. The third-party service providers used by the App include:
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive:
- To facilitate the core functionality of the App: Operating the periodic time announcements and maintaining your preferences locally.
- To improve our App: Analyzing anonymous usage trends and crash reports to fix bugs, optimize performance, and improve the overall user experience.
3. Device Permissions
To safely and reliably function, Tick Talk requires certain device permissions:
- Notifications / Alarms & Reminders: Required to schedule and play the periodic time announcements (using native OS alarm managers) even when the app is in the background or device is locked.
4. Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the anonymous data we receive, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
5. Children's Privacy
The App does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.
