Introduction
McNish Development ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Workout Timer mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.
Our Commitment to Privacy
Workout Timer is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your workout data should remain private and under your control.
Information We Collect
Information We DO NOT Collect
We want to be clear about what we do not collect:
- ❌ We do NOT collect personal information (name, email, phone number)
- ❌ We do NOT collect location data
- ❌ We do NOT collect workout history or performance data
- ❌ We do NOT use analytics or tracking services
- ❌ We do NOT share any data with third parties

Information Stored Locally on Your Device
The App stores the following information locally on your device only:
- Timer Settings and Preferences
- Your configured timer intervals (work time, rest time, etc.)
- Number of sets and repetitions
- Audio preference settings
- Last used timer configurations
This information is stored using AsyncStorage (React Native's local storage system) and never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to our servers or any third-party services.
How We Use Information
The locally stored settings are used solely to:
- Remember your timer configurations between app sessions
- Provide a seamless user experience
- Eliminate the need to reconfigure timers each time you use the App
Data Storage and Security
- All data is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage
- No data is transmitted over the internet
- No data is stored on external servers
- Data remains on your device until you delete the App
- You can clear all stored data by deleting and reinstalling the App
Audio Permissions
The App uses audio to provide:
- Countdown beeps
- Transition sounds between intervals
- Warning beeps before interval changes
Audio Permission Usage:
- The App plays audio through your device speakers
- The App does NOT record audio
- The App does NOT access your microphone
- The App does NOT access your music library
- Audio continues to play when the App is in the background (for workout continuity)
Third-Party Services
