Privacy Policy for Turn Timer for Board Games
Last updated: October 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy outlines the handling of user data by "Turn Timer for Board Games," developed by ByteBrew LLC.
1. Data Access and Collection
"Turn Timer for Board Games" is a client-side application that functions solely as a timer for board games. We respect your privacy:
- On-device data: The app saves the player names you enter, player order and colors, round duration, and timeout preferences locally on your device so they remain available when you reopen it.
- No transmission to ByteBrew: The app does not send these names or settings to ByteBrew or operate a user account or cloud-sync service.
- No advertising or analytics: The app does not include advertising or analytics tracking.
- Device permissions: Timer sounds use bundled audio files. The app does not need access to your microphone, photo library, contacts, or location to provide its timer features.
2. Data Usage and Sharing
The app uses the data stored on your device to display players and restore your timer preferences:
- Local use: Player names identify turns, and saved settings configure the timer.
- No sale or sharing: The app does not sell or transmit this locally stored data to third parties.
3. Data Security
Player names and preferences are stored in the app's local storage, protected by your device's operating-system access controls. This storage is not separately encrypted by the app. Your device or platform backup settings may also affect how app data is backed up or restored.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Saved names and settings remain on your device until you change or delete them, clear the app's storage using your device settings, or uninstall the app. You can edit or remove players in Settings. To remove all locally saved app data on Android, use Settings > Apps > Turn Timer > Storage > Clear storage (the exact labels vary by device). Manage any device backups separately through your platform's backup controls.
5. Contact Information
For any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or the app's data practices, please contact us at [email protected].
If you email us, we receive the email address and information you choose to include. We use that information to respond to your request and keep correspondence as needed to handle it. You can request deletion of that correspondence using the same contact address, subject to any applicable retention obligations.
Opening this policy in a browser makes a request to our website and its hosting provider. Website requests may include technical information such as your IP address and browser details; player names and timer settings are not included by the app in the policy link.
