The short version. Chronetic stores your data on your own device. There is no advertising and no tracking of you as a person. Nothing is transmitted anywhere unless you switch on backup, sync, or anonymous usage data — all three are off until you turn them on, and backup and sync go to accounts you control. We do not sell or share your data with anyone.
This policy applies to the Chronetic application for iOS and macOS, and to this website. "We" means the individual developer who publishes Chronetic; contact details are at the end.
By default, everything Chronetic records stays in a database on your device and is never transmitted. That includes:
Deleting the app removes this data from your device. If you have enabled backup or sync, copies may remain in the services described below until you remove them there.
If you connect Google Drive, Chronetic uploads a JSON and a CSV copy of your data into a folder in your own Google Drive. The developer has no access to it.
drive.file permission, which limits its access to files the app itself created. It cannot see, read, or modify anything else in your Drive.If you create an account and sign in, Chronetic synchronises data between your devices through a hosted Postgres database provided by Supabase, acting as our data processor.
What is transmitted and stored:
What is deliberately excluded and never leaves your device, by design:
Sync is off unless you sign in. Signing out stops synchronisation and leaves your local data intact.
If you connect a Wave account, Chronetic can push invoices to your own Wave business. Authorisation uses Wave's OAuth flow; the resulting tokens are stored in your device's system keychain and are never synced or included in a backup file. Data sent to Wave is governed by Wave's own privacy policy.
Chronetic can send anonymous product analytics to help work out which features are actually used. It is off unless you turn it on. You are asked once during setup, the answer defaults to no, and you can change it at any time in Settings. We use PostHog as the processor for this.
What is sent when it is on:
What is never sent, by design:
Turning it off in Settings stops sending immediately and discards the random identifier, so switching it back on later starts a new one rather than resuming the old.
Separately from anything Chronetic does, Apple provides developers with aggregate, anonymised statistics and crash reports for apps distributed through TestFlight and the App Store — things like install counts, session counts, and crash frequency. Apple gathers this at the operating-system level from users who chose to share analytics with developers in their device settings.
We did not add it and cannot switch it off, it does not identify you, and it is governed by Apple's privacy policy rather than this one.
Reminders are scheduled locally on your device by the operating system. They do not involve a push server, and no notification content is transmitted anywhere.
Manual CSV and JSON exports, and invoice PDFs, are created on your device and handed to your operating system's share sheet. Where they go from there is entirely your choice. Export files deliberately exclude connection and account details so that sharing one cannot leak access to your linked services.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. In practice, Chronetic's design gives you most of these directly: your data is on your device, and the app can export all of it in JSON or CSV at any time. For anything you cannot do in the app — sync account deletion in particular — contact us and we will act on your request.
Chronetic is published from California. The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, sets revenue and volume thresholds that a project of this size does not meet, so it is unlikely to apply here — but the disclosures below are provided regardless, and the commitments in them are ones we intend to keep either way.
Categories of personal information. If you never enable sync, none is collected. If you create a sync account, we hold:
We do not collect sensitive personal information, precise geolocation, biometric data, browsing history, or inferences drawn to build a profile. All of it comes directly from you; none is bought from data brokers or gathered from third parties.
We do not sell or share your personal information, as "sell" and "share" are defined by the CCPA, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months. There is no cross-context behavioural advertising in Chronetic, and no advertising of any kind.
Your rights. You may request to know what we hold, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, and to receive a portable copy. You will not be treated differently for exercising any of them — there is no paid tier, no feature gate, and nothing to withhold. Because Chronetic is local-first, the app already gives you a full export in JSON or CSV at any time without asking us. For deletion of a sync account, email the address below; an authorised agent may make a request on your behalf with proof of authorisation.
Chronetic is a professional tool for freelancers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Access tokens are stored in the device's system keychain. Traffic to Google, Supabase, and Wave uses HTTPS/TLS. No system is perfectly secure, and local device data is protected by your device's own security — a passcode and full-disk encryption are your strongest protections here.
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top will be updated and, where the change affects how your data is handled, the app will say so.
