Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 2026
1. Who we are
Pomodoro Cat: Study Timer (the "App") is published by Cloud Honest LLC, 5830 E 2nd St, Pmb 7000, Casper, WY 82609-4308, US. Cloud Honest LLC is the data controller. You can reach us at support@cloudhonest.com.
2. The account is optional
At the end of setup you can tap "Skip for now" and use every feature with no account. If you choose to sign in, you can use:
- Email and password. Your email and password are handled by Firebase Authentication, a service from Google. We never see your password.
- Sign in with Apple. Apple may share your name and email (or a private relay email) with us, through Firebase Authentication.
- Google Sign-In. Google shares your name and email with us, through Firebase Authentication.
We use this data only to give you an account and let you sign in again. We do not use it for marketing, and we do not sell it.
3. Your study data
- Tasks, subjects, exams, focus sessions, notes, streaks and badges are stored on your device.
- If you turn on iCloud sync, this data is copied to your own private iCloud database, so it appears on your other Apple devices. Apple stores it. We cannot access it.
- Your profile name, username and profile photo are stored on your device only.
- You can export your data at any time from Settings > Export data (JSON or CSV).
4. Optional features that use device data
| Feature | What it uses | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Prayer-time pause | A city you search for, or your location (only while you use the App) | Sent to Apple Maps (MapKit) to find the place and time zone. Prayer times are then worked out on your device. We never receive your location. |
| Apple Health | Mindful Minutes (write-only) | Pomodoro Cat only writes your focus sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. It does not read any Health data. Nothing from Health is sent to us, and none of it is used for advertising. |
| Apple Calendar | Write-only access | Adds your study sessions to your calendar. The App cannot read your other events. |
| Profile photo | Camera or a photo you pick | Saved on your device only. |
| Share cards | Add-only photo access | Saves a progress or profile image to your photo library when you ask. |
| Notifications | Permission only | Reminders are scheduled on your device. |
Every one of these is off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off in iOS Settings at any time.
5. What we do not do
- No advertising and no ad SDKs.
- No analytics and no crash-reporting SDKs.
- No tracking across other apps or websites. The App does not use the advertising identifier.
- We do not sell or rent personal data.
6. Purchases
Pomodoro Cat Plus is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple handles the payment. We never see your card details. Apple gives us only sales reports. Apple's privacy policy applies to the purchase: apple.com/legal/privacy.
7. Service providers
| Provider | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Firebase Authentication, Google Sign-In) | Account sign-in | Email, name, account ID |
| Apple (Sign in with Apple, iCloud, MapKit, StoreKit) | Sign-in, sync, place search, purchases | As described above |
Firebase may process data in the United States. Google applies standard contractual clauses for transfers from the EU and UK.
8. How long we keep data
Account data is kept until you delete your account. Data on your device is removed when you delete the App. Data in your iCloud stays until you delete it or delete your account in the App.
9. Delete your account
Go to Settings > Account > Delete account. This deletes your Firebase account, revokes Sign in with Apple, disconnects Google, and erases your study data on the device and in iCloud. Deleting your account does not cancel a Pomodoro Cat Plus subscription. Cancel that in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
10. Children
The App is not directed at children under 13. The account feature is meant for users aged 13 and over. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, email us and we will delete it.
11. Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA and similar laws)
You can ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal data. You can delete your account yourself in the App, and export your study data in Settings. For anything else, email us. We answer within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
12. Changes to this policy
If we change how the App uses data, we will update this page and the date at the top before that version of the App is released.
