Kiddy TimerThis policy covers the Kiddy Timer app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and this website. Kiddy Timer is made by Pluriform S.R.L. ("we", "us"), which is responsible for it.
The short version
- We don't collect, receive or store any information about you or your children.
- The app has no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no analytics and no third-party code that tracks anyone.
- What you type into the app, such as a child's first name, stays on your device. On iPhone and iPad you can choose to sync it through your own iCloud account, which we can't see.
What the app keeps on your device
To work, Kiddy Timer saves a few things on your device:
- Each child's first name (or whatever name you type) and home screen color.
- Each child's timers: their names, pictures and the length each was last started with.
- Your settings, such as sounds, the alarm sound, the app's language and the allowed screen orientation.
- A few housekeeping notes, such as whether setup is finished and the date the app was first opened (used only to decide when to show Apple's "rate this app" prompt to a grown-up).
On iPhone and iPad, the timers are also shared with Kiddy Timer's own widgets on the same device, so they can show and start them. This information never leaves your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, described below. Deleting the app deletes it.
On Android, the same information is stored on your device. If you use Android's device backup, your phone may include the app's settings in the backup that Google keeps for you under Google's privacy policy; we have no access to it.
iCloud sync (iPhone and iPad, optional)
If you turn on iCloud sync in Parent mode, your kids and their timers are stored in your own iCloud account using Apple's iCloud key-value storage, so they stay the same on your other iPhones and iPads. This data is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We never receive it and can't read it. You can turn sync off in Parent mode at any time.
Notifications, alarms, widgets and Live Activities
The alarm that rings when a timer ends is a local notification scheduled on your device; nothing is sent to us or to any server. Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and the Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, are drawn by your device's system from the app's own data. You choose whether to allow notifications and Live Activities in your device's settings.
Ratings
After a few days of use, Kiddy Timer may ask a grown-up, right after they pass the parent gate, whether they'd like to rate the app. On iPhone and iPad this is Apple's own rating prompt: any rating goes to Apple and the App Store, not to us.
Children's privacy
Kiddy Timer is made for young children, and we built it so that no personal information about them is collected, used or shared. That's how we meet the expectations of laws such as the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the requirements of the App Store's Kids category and Google Play's Families policy. Everything meant for grown-ups, including links that leave the app such as this policy, sits behind a parent gate.
Third parties
The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking libraries, and it doesn't connect to any server of ours. The only outside services involved are the ones your device already provides and you control: Apple's iCloud (if you turn on sync), Apple's App Store rating prompt, and on Android, Google's device backup.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers, and it loads no outside scripts. Like any website, the server that hosts it may briefly keep standard technical logs (such as IP addresses and the pages requested) to deliver pages and keep the site secure.
Your rights
Because we don't collect or hold any personal data, there's nothing for us to access, correct or delete. The information in the app is fully under your control: change it in Parent mode, turn off iCloud sync, or delete the app. If you have any question about your privacy or your rights, write to us and we'll help.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes in a way that affects your privacy, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change reaches the app.
