Privacy Policy

TimeWarp is private by design. This policy explains what we collect, why, where it lives, and the control you have over it.

01Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how TimeWarp ("we", "us", "sp33c.tech") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use the TimeWarp iOS app, macOS client, and web application (together, the "App"). We are the data controller for that processing.

We built TimeWarp to be private by design: it works locally on your device, and you only share data with us when you choose to create an account and sync.

02Data we collect

We keep what we collect to the minimum needed to run the App:

• Account data — the email address you sign up with (or the private-relay address from Sign in with Apple), used to authenticate you and secure your account.
• Your time data — the focuses (projects) you create and the time entries you log: start and end times, durations, optional notes, and the source (timer, manual, or the Mac client).
• Mac activity (optional) — if you install and enable the macOS client, it records the active application and window title on your Mac as unclassified time for you to assign later. This runs only while you choose to use it.
• Purchase data — if you buy a subscription or the lifetime unlock, we record your plan status. Payments are processed by Apple; we do not receive your card details.

We do not collect your contacts, photos, precise location, or advertising identifiers, and the App contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.

03No tracking

TimeWarp does not track you. We do not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), we do not present the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and we do not share your data with data brokers or advertising networks. There is no cross-app or cross-site tracking.

Our App Store privacy label declares "Data Not Used to Track You." Any identifiers tied to your purchases are linked to your account so your Pro access works across your devices — they are not used to track you.

04How we use your data

We process your data only to provide and secure the App:

• to authenticate you and keep your account secure;
• to store your focuses and time entries and sync them across your devices and the web;
• to build your timetable and let you export it to Excel, CSV, or a Google Sheet you connect;
• to determine your plan (Free, Pro, or a lifetime unlock) and provide the features it includes;
• to prevent abuse and diagnose problems.

The legal bases are performance of our contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in a secure, reliable service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

05Where your data is stored

Your account and time data are stored on Amazon Web Services in the EU (Frankfurt, eu-central-1) region. Authentication is handled by AWS Cognito; your data is held in Amazon DynamoDB, partitioned per user. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.

Where you connect Google Sheets, the access token we use is additionally encrypted at rest with an application key.

06Service providers

We share data only with the processors that make the App work, under agreements that limit them to processing on our behalf:

• Amazon Web Services — hosting, authentication, and database (EU region).
• Apple — App Store distribution, Sign in with Apple, and in-app purchases. Apple processes your payment; see Apple's privacy policy.
• RevenueCat — manages your subscription and lifetime entitlement. It receives an account identifier tied to your TimeWarp account (not an advertising identifier).
• Google — only if you connect Google Sheets. We request the minimum scopes needed to create and update the single sheet you link, and never read your other files.

We do not sell your personal data.

07Data retention

We keep your account and time data for as long as your account exists so the App can function. Backups are retained for a short, rolling window and then deleted. When you delete your account, we remove your data as described below.

08Your rights

Under the GDPR/DSGVO and comparable laws you have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. In particular:

• Export — you can export your full timetable to Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets at any time, on Free or Pro.
• Deletion — you can delete your account from the App. Doing so removes your focuses and time entries and revokes any Google connection you authorized.
• Disconnect Google — you can revoke the Google Sheets connection at any time; we delete the stored token and stop accessing your sheet.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise any right, contact us at info@sp33c.tech.

09Children

TimeWarp is not directed to children and is not intended for use by anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

10International transfers

Your data is stored in the EU. Some of our service providers are established in other countries; where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

11Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
