Privacy Policy
The apps collect nothing about you. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Your agendas stay on your devices and in your own iCloud.
The website is slightly different, and this policy says so plainly: it counts page views with a cookieless analytics service, and if you press Share URL on the web version, your agenda text is sent to a link-shortening service to create the short link. The apps do neither of those things.
The apps (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch)
What is stored, and where
- Your agendas and drafts are stored locally on your devices.
- If you are signed in to iCloud, saved agendas sync through your private iCloud (CloudKit) database. That data lives in your personal Apple account, is encrypted in transit, and is not accessible to the developer.
- Preferences (alert sounds, haptic choices, whether you have seen the welcome screen) are stored on-device.
- Your iPhone and Apple Watch exchange agenda and timer state directly with each other using Apple's Watch Connectivity. This never touches a third-party server.
Deleting your agendas
Deleting an agenda in the app removes it from that device and from your private iCloud database. If your device is offline or iCloud is unavailable at the time, the removal is recorded and applied the next time the app can reach iCloud.
What the apps do not do
- No analytics or telemetry of any kind.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No third-party SDKs.
- No account creation. The developer never sees your name, email, or agenda content.
- No location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photo access.
Sharing an agenda from the apps
The share feature encodes your agenda into the link itself, after the
#, for example https://timemytalk.app/#…. The apps build this link
entirely on your device and upload nothing. Anyone you send the link to can read that agenda, so
share it the way you would share the agenda text itself.
Notifications
If you leave the app mid-talk, it schedules local notifications for your section boundaries. These are generated and delivered entirely on your device, and are cancelled when you return or stop the talk.
The website (timemytalk.app)
The web version runs in your browser and keeps your agenda in your browser's local storage. Two things on the website do involve a third party, and they are described here in full.
Usage counting
The site uses Umami, a cookieless analytics service. It sets no cookies and does not track you across other websites, but it records more than page views. The site sends Umami these events:
- Timer started, with which kind of timer it was.
- Timer stopped, with how long it ran.
- Theme changed, with the theme you picked.
- Share link generated, with the number of characters in your agenda.
- Share link copied and share link shortened.
- An error occurred, with the error type and message.
Your agenda text is never sent to Umami — but its length is, as part of the share-link event. None of this happens in the iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch apps, which send no analytics of any kind.
Share URL and link shortening
When you press Share URL on the website, the full share link — which contains
your agenda text encoded within it — is sent to a Cloudflare Worker operated for
timemytalk.app (url-shortener.viktor-gamov.workers.dev), which forwards it to
Rebrandly to create the short link. Both
that Worker and Rebrandly therefore receive the link, including the agenda text encoded in it,
and Rebrandly stores it for as long as the short link exists.
If you would rather your agenda text did not leave your browser, do not use Share URL on the website; copy the agenda text directly instead, or share from the iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch app, which does not use a shortening service.
Children
Time My Talk is suitable for all ages. The apps collect no data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If data practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised before the change takes effect.
