Privacy Policy

1. Information About the Collection of Personal Data and Contact Details of the Person Responsible

1.1 We are pleased that You are using Tempo (the "Application"). This Privacy Policy explains how We handle personal data when You use the Application, optional iCloud sync, support channels, and this website. Personal data means information that can identify You directly or indirectly.

1.2 The person responsible for data processing regarding Tempo is Andy Wu, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, IP28 7DE, United Kingdom. Email: tempoenquire@gmail.com. The person responsible decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

2. Contact

When You contact Us by email or through support channels, We process the email address and information You provide so We can answer Your request and manage the related technical administration.

The legal basis for processing contact requests is Our legitimate interest in responding to You. If Your contact is aimed at concluding or managing a contract, the additional legal basis is performance of a contract. Contact data is deleted once Your request has been resolved unless legal retention obligations or legitimate dispute, security, tax, accounting, or fraud-prevention needs require longer storage.

3. Data Processing for App Functionality

3.1 Tempo can store habit names, categories, icons, colours, schedules, reminders, completions, count values, session timestamps, timer settings, notes, theme settings, premium status, and related app preferences. Some built-in categories and habit templates are health or fitness-related, such as sleep, hydration, walking, stretching, and workouts. If You use those categories or create similar habits, Your habit content and completions may reveal health or fitness routines.

3.2 Tempo is local-first. Your habit database is stored on Your device. We, as the developers of Tempo, do not operate a server database for Your habit data and do not store or access Your habit names, schedules, completions, timestamps, streaks, notes, or history on Our servers.

3.3 If You enable the premium iCloud sync feature, Tempo writes an app data file to Your private iCloud account so Your own devices can back up and sync the same habit data. iCloud is provided by Apple. We do not receive or host the contents of Your iCloud backup.

3.4 Tempo does not use a Tempo account system or a third-party authentication/database sync service for habit data.

3.5 The legal bases for this processing are performance of a contract for core app and optional sync features, Your consent where required for optional permissions, and Our legitimate interests in providing a reliable and secure service.

4. Data Processing for Contract Processing and Purchases

4.1 Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive Your card number or full payment details.

4.2 Tempo uses RevenueCat Inc., 1032 E Brandon Blvd #3003, Brandon, FL 33511, USA, to manage subscription status, restore purchases, and unlock premium features. RevenueCat may receive purchase history, product identifiers, entitlement status, and an app user identifier used to manage Your subscription and restore purchases. Tempo does not use its own account system for premium access.

Your data is transmitted to RevenueCat only to the extent necessary for subscription processing, entitlement management, fraud prevention, support, and account restoration. Further information is available in RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

5. Analytics, Diagnostics, and Crash Reporting

5.1 Tempo uses Sentry, 45 Fremont Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, for crash, error, and diagnostic reports. Reports may include device model, operating system version, app version, stack traces, session health, error context, and technical context needed to diagnose and fix bugs. Tempo configures Sentry not to attach default personal information.

5.2 Tempo uses PostHog Inc., 2261 Market Street #4008, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA, to understand app launches, screen views, feature usage, paywall events, subscription start events, timer events, habit category selections, and similar product interactions. Analytics events may include app version, build, operating system, device model, screen size, locale, time zone, and app-scoped analytics identifiers. We avoid sending habit names, notes, completion history, or other free-text habit content as analytics event properties.

5.3 The legal basis for analytics, diagnostics, and crash reporting is Our legitimate interest in the security, reliability, diagnostics, and improvement of the Service (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR / GDPR). We limit this processing to anonymised or app-scoped technical data, do not use it to identify You personally, and do not use it for advertising.

5.4 You can opt out at any time. Tempo provides a "Share Analytics & Crash Reports" control in Settings › General, enabled by default. When You turn it off, Tempo stops sending analytics events to PostHog and stops sending crash, error, and diagnostic reports to Sentry. You may also object to this processing at any time as described in Section 11.

6. Notifications, Widgets, and Live Activities

If You enable reminders, Tempo schedules notifications on Your device. You can turn notifications off in Tempo or in iOS Settings.

Tempo may write limited habit, timer, progress, and premium-status data to the iOS app group container so Home Screen widgets and Live Activities can display and update selected information. This data is used to provide widget and timer functionality on Your device.

7. Service Providers and International Transfers

We use providers that help operate Tempo: Apple for App Store distribution, in-app purchases, notifications, and optional private iCloud storage; RevenueCat Inc., 1032 E Brandon Blvd #3003, Brandon, FL 33511, USA, for subscription management; PostHog Inc., 2261 Market Street #4008, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA, for product analytics; and Sentry, 45 Fremont Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, for crash, error, and diagnostic reporting.

Where these providers act as processors on Our behalf, We have entered into data processing agreements with them (as required under Article 28 UK GDPR / GDPR), obliging them to process personal data only on Our documented instructions and to apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards.

These providers may process data in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, United States, or other countries where they or their subprocessors operate. Where required, transfers rely on safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent protections.

8. What We Do Not Do

We do not sell Your personal data. We do not use Your habit content for third-party advertising. We do not knowingly share personal data with data brokers. Tempo does not request location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, Apple Health, HealthKit, Motion & Fitness, or medical-record access for its core habit tracking features.

9. Retention and Deletion

Local app data remains on Your device until You erase it in Tempo, uninstall the Application, or remove the device's app data. If premium iCloud sync is enabled, Tempo also stores the synced habit backup in Your private iCloud account until You erase it through Tempo or manage it through Apple/iCloud controls where available.

Because We do not operate a Tempo account database for habit data, We cannot directly view, export, or delete Your locally stored or private iCloud-stored habit content from Our systems. We may keep limited contact, purchase-support, analytics, diagnostic, legal, tax, accounting, dispute, or fraud-prevention records where required or permitted by law.

10. Rights of the Data Subject

11. Right to Object

If We process Your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests, You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from Your particular situation, to this processing with effect for the future.

If You object, We will stop processing the data involved unless We can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override Your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless processing is needed for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

If Your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, You may object at any time. If You object, We will stop processing the data for direct marketing purposes.

12. Automated Decisions

Tempo does not use personal data to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about You.

13. Changes

We may update this policy as Tempo changes. The latest version will be posted here with a new last-updated date.
