Hourtap - Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 30, 2026

1. Overview

Hourtap is a work hours and pay tracker by Time Design LLC for iPhone and Android: shifts, breaks, overtime, pay periods, timesheets and widgets.

The app works without an account. Your data is stored on your device and is not sent to Time Design LLC. This policy explains what the app stores, which permissions it may ask for, and which network connections it makes. Where the iPhone and Android versions differ, the difference is stated.

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect personal data. Time Design LLC does not operate servers that receive the content you create in Hourtap, and the app contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs.

3. Data Stored on Your Device

The following is stored only on your device, inside the app (on iPhone also in the app group it shares with its widgets):

  • Your jobs, pay rates, currencies, overtime and pay period rules.
  • Shifts and breaks you record, and the earnings calculated from them.
  • App preferences.

4. Permissions

Every permission is used only for the related feature. Data obtained through these permissions never leaves your device, except where stated below. You can change permissions at any time in your device settings.

  • Notifications (iPhone and Android). Used for the running shift timer and the shift reminders you turn on.
  • Face ID / Touch ID (iPhone) and biometric unlock (Android). Used only if you turn on the app lock. Authentication is performed by the operating system; the app never receives your biometric data.
  • Siri and Shortcuts (iPhone). Commands are handled by iOS on your device.
  • Run at startup (Android). Used only to restore the running shift notification and your reminders after the phone restarts.
  • Internet and network state (Android). Used only by Google Play Billing for purchases (see Section 6).

5. Network Connections

Hourtap makes no network requests of its own. The only connections are to Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) for in-app purchases (see Section 6). Links to this policy and the store terms open in your browser.

6. In-App Purchases

Hourtap Pro is a one-time purchase. On iPhone it is sold through the App Store and processed by Apple (StoreKit); on Android it is sold through Google Play and processed by Google (Google Play Billing). We never receive your name, Apple ID, Google account, card or billing details — the app only receives the status of your purchase. Purchases can be restored with “Restore Purchases”.

7. Tracking and Advertising

  • No tracking and no analytics.
  • No advertising and no advertising identifiers (IDFA on iPhone, Advertising ID on Android).
  • No data is sold or shared with third parties.
  • No account, no sign-in, no contact list access.

8. Exports and Backups

Timesheet exports (CSV, and PDF on Android) and backup files are created on your device and go only where you choose to send or save them. Restoring a backup reads only the file you pick.

The app's data may be included in your device backups according to your settings: on iPhone in iCloud or computer backups handled by Apple, on Android in Android backup to your Google Drive when you have it turned on, handled by Google. Those backups are controlled by you, not by us.

9. Children's Privacy

Hourtap is intended for adults (18+). It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from them.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data stays on your device until you delete it in the app or delete the app. Deleting the app removes its data from your device. Because we hold no copy of your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the app changes. The effective date at the top shows the latest version.
