Clocker is designed so that your working time records stay with you. The developer does not collect, receive, store or sell any personal data through the app, and the app makes no internet connections of its own. This policy explains exactly which data the app handles and what control you have.
This policy is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable to users in the European Union and the European Economic Area, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Summary
- No account, no registration, no advertising, no tracking, no profiling, no analytics and no third-party SDKs.
- Your time entries, breaks, titles, descriptions and tags are stored on your device and, if you use the backup, in your own iCloud Drive. The developer has no access to them.
- Purchases and subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. The developer receives no payment details.
- The app does not access your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
- The developer only processes personal data if you contact support by email.

Data stored on your device
The app stores the information you enter: start and end times, breaks, titles, work descriptions, tags and your default entry title, as well as your plan status. This data stays on your device, is used only to provide the app's functions and is not transmitted to the developer. The developer operates no servers for the app.
iCloud backup
If you are signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive turned on, the app saves a copy of your time entries and tags as a file in the app's iCloud Drive container in your own iCloud account, and can restore it later, for example on a new device. This data is stored by Apple under your Apple Account, on the basis of your own contract with Apple, and is not accessible to the developer. Apple may store it in data centres outside Switzerland, including in the USA. Apple's Privacy Policy applies. You can delete the backup at any time under Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage. Without iCloud, everything stays on your device only.
CSV export and import
When you export or import a CSV file, the file is created or read only at the location you choose (for example the Files app). The app does not upload these files anywhere. What happens with an exported file is up to you.
Purchases and subscriptions
The app can be used free of charge with up to 10 time entries. The Base and Pro subscriptions and the one-time Lifetime purchase are sold and processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. The developer receives no payment details and no information that identifies you. The app only checks with Apple which plan is active on your Apple Account. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
Internet connections
The app does not connect to servers operated by the developer or to any other third-party servers. The only network communication is with Apple (App Store for purchases and iCloud for the optional backup), which your device performs as part of the system services you use.
Contacting support
If you write to us by email, we process your email address, your message and any information you include (for example your device model) to answer your request. Emails are stored with our email provider (Proton AG, Geneva, Switzerland) and deleted when they are no longer needed for your request, unless statutory retention obligations apply. For users in the EU, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (support for the app) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries).
Information from Apple
When you download the app or buy a plan, Apple processes your purchase as described in Apple's privacy policy. If you have agreed in your device settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide the developer with aggregated, non-identifying statistics and crash reports. The developer cannot identify you from these.
Permissions
The app does not request any special permissions. It does not need access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
Recipients and disclosure abroad
The developer does not sell, rent or pass on personal data. The developer itself only discloses data to its email provider for support requests (see above). Apple (iCloud and purchases) receives data directly from your device because you use the corresponding feature; Apple processes it as an independent controller under its own privacy policy, possibly in countries outside Switzerland, including the USA.
Data security
The app makes no connections of its own, and your entries are protected by the security of your device. No data is stored on the developer's systems apart from support emails.
Storage period and deletion
Data remains on your device until you delete entries in the app or delete the app. A backup in iCloud remains until you delete it under Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage. Since the developer holds no copy of your app data, there is nothing for the developer to delete on your behalf. Support emails are deleted as described above.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Under the FADP you have the right to request information about whether and which personal data about you is processed (Art. 25 FADP), to receive or transfer your data (Art. 28 FADP), and to have incorrect data corrected and data deleted or its processing restricted (Art. 32 FADP). Information is generally provided free of charge within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity.
If you are in the EU or EEA, you also have the rights under Art. 15–21 GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection).
Write to support@schweizer-dev.de. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, www.edoeb.admin.ch. If you are in the EU or EEA, you can lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country.
Changes to this policy
If the app's handling of data changes, this policy will be updated and the effective date below will change. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes. The current version published on this page applies.
