Privacy Policy
Last Updated: [November 26, 2025]
Thank you for using Simple Desktop Clock ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you use our macOS application (the "App").
By using the App, you consent to the processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. We believe in privacy by design; Simple Desktop Clock is built to operate locally on your Mac with minimal data collection.
1. Information We Collect
Our primary goal is to provide a useful utility without intruding on your privacy. We do not collect any personal information (such as your name, email address, or location data) directly through the App.
Usage Data and Technical Information
We may receive limited, anonymous technical data automatically collected by Apple through their standard app analytics platforms (App Store Connect), provided you have opted-in to share diagnostics with app developers on your macOS device settings.
This aggregated, non-personally identifiable data may include:
- Device type and macOS version.
- Crash reports to help us identify and fix bugs.
- General region data (e.g., "United States").
- Anonymous usage metrics, such as session length.
We do not track your browsing history, files, or any other activity on your computer outside of the Simple Desktop Clock app.
2. How We Use Information
We use the limited, anonymous information described above solely for the following purposes:
- To analyze crash reports and fix technical issues.
- To understand general usage trends to improve future versions of the App.
- To ensure the App is functioning correctly on different versions of macOS.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties. We do not share your data except in the following limited circumstances:
- **Service Providers:** The App relies on infrastructure provided by Apple Inc. via the Mac App Store for distribution and standard analytics. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.
- **Legal Requirements:** We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
4. Data Security
Because the App operates locally and we collect minimal to no data directly, the risk to your personal information is extremely low. However, we take reasonable measures to protect whatever limited analytical data we can access via Apple's developer tools.
5. Children’s Privacy
Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our information practices.
