Interval Timer privacy policy
Interval Timer is a workout interval timer and a set of everyday countdown timers for Android. You need no account to use it. This page tells you what data the app uses, where it goes, and the choices you have.
Short version
- Your workouts, timers and settings stay on your phone.
- The app does not record health or fitness data. It only counts down the times you set.
- The free version shows one banner ad from Google AdMob, under your workout list. Google collects some data to show and measure ads (details below). Pro removes the ad.
- We, Springlab, run no servers for this app and collect no data ourselves.
Data the app uses on your phone
| Data | Why | Leaves the phone? |
|---|---|---|
| Your workouts and timers (names and times) | To run them and remember them | No (Android may include them in your own device backup) |
| Your settings | To remember your choices | No (same as above) |
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Notifications | To show the running workout and timers, and to ring when a timer ends. You can say no; timers then ring only while the app is open. |
| Alarms and reminders (exact alarms) | So a timer ends on time, even when the app is closed or the phone is idle. |
| Foreground service, wake lock | So a workout keeps counting and beeping with the screen off. |
| Internet | Only for the banner ad (free version). |
Ads (free version)
The free version shows one banner, at the bottom of the workout list. Google AdMob provides it. Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares this data, encrypted in transit, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention:
| Data | Details |
|---|---|
| IP address | Can be used to estimate your general location |
| App interactions | For example app launches and ad taps |
| Diagnostics | App and SDK performance, such as launch time |
| Device identifiers | Android advertising ID and app set ID |
Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and some US states), the app asks for your consent before it loads ads. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings. Google's use of this data is covered by How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Voice coach (Pro)
The voice coach uses the text-to-speech engine on your phone. The app sends it only fixed words such as "Work", "Rest" and numbers.
Purchases
Pro is a one-time purchase through Google Play. Google Play handles the payment. The app only learns whether you own Pro; we never see your payment details.
Children
The app is not made for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Your choices
- Turn notifications off in Android Settings at any time.
- Change ad consent in Settings → Privacy choices (where it applies).
- Buy Pro to remove the ad.
- Uninstall the app to delete everything it stored on your phone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
