What data OwnTime stores

OwnTime stores the information you create while using it: your priorities (their names, colours, and daily budgets) and your tracked sessions (when you started and stopped time on a priority). This information is recorded as a local event log on your device.

Where your data lives

Your priorities and sessions are stored as a local event log on each device you use OwnTime on. When you use more than one device, the copies are kept in sync directly between your own paired devices using Apple's WatchConnectivity — on-device and device-to-device, with no primary copy and no server.

We do not operate a server. Your data is never uploaded to us or to any third party, is never stored in the cloud by OwnTime, and is never sold, shared, or used for advertising.

Data we collect about you

None. OwnTime contains no analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party software development kits. We do not collect usage statistics, your location, your contacts, or any personal information.

Tracking

OwnTime does not track you across apps or websites operated by other companies, and does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

System data

If you choose to use OwnTime's budget alarms and Live Activities, the app uses Apple's on-device frameworks (AlarmKit, ActivityKit, and notifications) to show them. This happens entirely on your device and does not send your data to us.

Standard diagnostics that you may have enabled in your iOS or watchOS Settings are handled by Apple, not by OwnTime, and are subject to Apple's privacy policy.

Taking your data with you

OwnTime can export its full event log as a standard SQLite database file — the same format the app itself uses, readable by any SQLite tool. The export is in the menu in the top-right corner of the main screen.

The exported file contains your complete history: every priority, its daily budget, and every session. It is written to a temporary folder on your device and handed straight to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes from there is entirely your choice — once you save or send it, the file leaves OwnTime's protected storage and is no longer covered by this policy. The copy in the temporary folder is deleted the next time you open the app.

Deleting your data

Because all data lives on your devices, deleting the OwnTime app from a device removes the copy stored on it.

Children

OwnTime does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the date above.
