My Own Pomodoro Privacy Policy
# My Own Pomodoro Privacy Policy
- Service: My Own Pomodoro (나만의 포모도로)
- Effective date: May 19, 2026
- Last updated: May 19, 2026
This policy describes how the mobile app "My Own Pomodoro" (the "App") collects, uses, stores, and transmits personal information. The App has no sign-up flow, and all session records, memos, and statistics are stored only on the user's device.
## 1. Information collected and transmitted
### 1.1 Directly identifiable information
The App **does not collect any directly identifiable personal information** such as name, email, phone number, address, or date of birth. There is no sign-up or login flow, and no user account that can identify you.
### 1.2 Data stored locally on the device
The following data is created and entered by the user inside the App and **stored only in the device's internal storage**. It is not transmitted to any external server.
| Data | Storage location | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Focus session records (task name, time, memo, tags, status) | `shared_preferences` (app-private storage) | JSON-serialized |
| Subjects | same | same |
| App settings (theme, language, default focus length, sound, vibration) | same | key–value |
| Notification schedules | OS notification system | local |
If the user creates a JSON backup via "Settings → Export data", the backup file is saved to the location chosen by the user (external storage, cloud drive, etc.). The App does not track the post-export path of that file.
### 1.3 Information processed by third-party SDKs
The App integrates the following third-party SDKs. Information processed by each SDK is governed by that provider's own privacy policy.
#### 1.3.1 Google AdMob (advertising)
The App displays a single banner ad (Google AdMob) at the bottom of the screen. AdMob collects and transmits the following to serve ads:
- Advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID, iOS IDFA)
- IP address
- Device information (model, OS version, language, country)
- Ad impression / click metrics
Details: [Google Advertising Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads)
On iOS, the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) dialog is shown on first launch, asking the user to allow or deny tracking. If the user denies tracking, IDFA is not collected.
#### 1.3.2 Google Play services
- **In-App Update**: checks whether a new version of the App is available. Uses only the app package name and version; collects no personal information.
- **In-App Review**: shows the Play Store rating dialog when the user opens it. Ratings and review text are collected directly by Google Play; the App does not see the user's input.
The App **does not use** the following Firebase / analytics / crash reporter / social login SDKs: Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, Kakao Login, Naver Login, Facebook Login.
## 2. Permissions (Android)
The App requests only the following permissions.
| Permission | Purpose | If denied |
|---|---|---|
| `INTERNET`, `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` | AdMob ad serving, app update check | No ads, no update check |
| `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` (Android 13+) | Show timer-end notifications | No end-of-timer alert |
| `VIBRATE` | Vibrate on timer end (when enabled in settings) | No vibration |
| `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`, `USE_EXACT_ALARM` (Android 12+) | Deliver timer-end notifications at exact moments | Alerts may arrive minutes late |
| `RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` | Restore scheduled notifications after device reboot | Scheduled notifications lost on reboot |
**The App does not request any sensitive permissions** — no camera, microphone, contacts, location, external storage, phone, SMS, or calendar access. The "Export / Import data" feature uses the OS-standard file picker (Storage Access Framework), so no separate storage permission is required.
## 3. Retention period
- **Locally stored data** (sessions, subjects, settings): retained until the user uninstalls the App or runs "Settings → Reset statistics data".
- **Information collected by third-party SDKs** (AdMob, etc.): retained per the respective service's retention policy. The App has no control over this.
## 4. Sharing with third parties
The App does not share user data with third parties except as listed below.
- Automated processing by the SDKs listed in section 1.3 (AdMob ad serving, Google Play update / review checks).
The App does not sell, transfer, or otherwise share user data for marketing, resale, or research purposes.
## 5. User rights
Users can control their data as follows.
- **Delete all data**: App settings → "Reset statistics data" or uninstall the App.
- **Back up data**: App settings → "Export data" → save as JSON file.
- **Reset advertising identifier** (block ad tracking):
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Reset advertising ID" / "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track" + revoke tracking permission for this App
- **Block notifications**: OS Settings → Notifications → "My Own Pomodoro" → disable notifications.
## 6. Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 14 (Korean privacy law threshold) — or under 13 (COPPA threshold for the United States) — as a primary audience. AdMob is configured for general audiences. Parental supervision is recommended if a child uses the App.
