Privacy Policy

For the Shadow Boxing Timer Application

Last Updated: July 19, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the "Shadow Boxing Timer" application ("App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use the App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and transparently explaining our data practices.

1. Information Collection and Use

We collect two main types of information:

a) User-Provided Information: This information is stored exclusively locally on your device and is not transmitted to us or third parties. It includes:

  • Timer Profiles: Profile names, settings for round duration, rest duration, number of rounds, and gong sound enable/disable settings.
  • Last Selected Profile: The identifier of the last profile you used, for convenience.
  • Time Unit: Your display settings for time (minutes:seconds or seconds).

This data is used to save and manage your personalized timer settings and ensure the seamless operation of the App and retain your preferences between sessions.

b) Automatically Collected Information (Analytics Data and Crash Reports): We use third-party services to collect anonymous analytics data and crash reports, which helps us improve the App. This data does not personally identify you.

  • Firebase Analytics (from Google):

    We collect information about how you interact with the App, such as: Starting and stopping the timer, pauses, resets, workout completions. Creating, updating, deleting, and selecting timer profiles. Changes to settings (e.g., gong enable/disable, time unit change). Onboarding events (start, completion). General usage metrics (session duration, frequency of use). This data is used to understand user behavior, identify popular features, and optimize the overall App experience. Data collected by Firebase is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

  • Firebase Crashlytics (from Google):

    In the event of an App crash, we collect anonymous crash reports, which may include information about the App's state at the time of the crash, device type, and operating system version. This data is used solely for monitoring the App's stability and fixing bugs. Data collected by Firebase Crashlytics is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

2. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Automatically collected data (analytics and crash reports) are shared with third-party service providers (Firebase/Google) solely for the purposes described above, and in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or property, or to ensure the safety of users.

3. Data Security

We implement reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

4. Data Retention

User-provided data (timer profiles) is stored locally on your device until you delete the App or clear its data. Analytics data and crash reports are retained on Firebase/Google servers according to their data retention policies.

5. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal information that directly identifies you, your rights regarding accessing, correcting, or deleting such data apply to the information stored locally on your device (which you fully control through the App's interface). You can opt out of analytics data collection by adjusting the privacy settings on your device (e.g., by disabling "Allow Apps to Request to Track" or limiting ad tracking).

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
