Introduction
This privacy policy describes how Tasks on Time (com.stuartbradley.taskarr), developed by Stuart Bradley, handles your data.
Information We Collect
Tasks on Time does not collect any personal information.
The app stores the following data locally on your device to provide its functionality:
- Task names, descriptions, and color preferences
- Completion timestamps and optional notes
- Categories and sort order
- Notification and reminder preferences
- App settings (theme, display preferences)
- A trial-start timestamp, used to track your 28-day free trial on-device
This data is stored in a local database on your device. The app itself never transmits it to the developer or any server we operate. If you have device backups enabled, your device's operating system may include a copy in your personal cloud account — see Device Backups below.
Information We Do Not Collect
Tasks on Time does not access, collect, or process any of the following:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
- Account credentials or sign-in data
- Location data
- Usage analytics or behavioral tracking
- Crash reports or diagnostic data
- Advertising or device identifiers
- Cookies or web tracking technologies
- Contacts, photos, or other device data
How Your Data Is Used
Data stored locally on your device is used solely to provide app functionality:
- Displaying elapsed time since tasks were last completed
- Showing overdue status based on your configured thresholds
- Triggering local notification reminders
- Rendering home screen widgets
- Determining whether your free trial is still active
Your data is never used for advertising, profiling, or analytics of any kind.
Purchases (Google Play Billing)
Tasks on Time is free for a 28-day trial, after which a single one-time £4 purchase (tasksontime_lifetime_unlock) unlocks the app permanently — there is no subscription.
This purchase is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see or receive your payment details, and we operate no server that verifies or records purchases. Your entitlement (whether you have unlocked the app) is managed by Google Play and restored automatically when you reinstall or set up a new device. Google's handling of your purchase is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Data Sharing
Tasks on Time does not share any data with third parties.
The app contains no third-party SDKs that collect data, no advertising networks, and no analytics services.
The only circumstances in which your data leaves your device are: (1) your operating system's own backup feature, described in Device Backups below; and (2) Google Play Billing for the one-time unlock, described in Purchases above. Both are operated by Google and controlled by you and your device platform — not by the app.
Tasks on Time includes an import/export feature that allows you to save or load your data as a JSON file. This operates entirely under your control using your device's local file system and share sheet.
Device Backups
Tasks on Time works with your device's built-in backup system — Android Auto Backup on Android devices, and iCloud backup on Apple devices. If you have device backups enabled in your system settings, your operating system may automatically include a snapshot of your Tasks on Time data — your timers, categories, completion history, and app settings — in your personal cloud account (such as your Google Drive or iCloud account).
A few things to know about device backups:
- Its purpose is to let you restore your data if you reinstall the app or set up a new device.
- It is provided and controlled by your device platform. Your backed-up data is handled in accordance with Google's or Apple's privacy policy, as applicable.
- No separate account or sign-in is required within Tasks on Time — the backup uses the account already configured on your device.
- You can disable it at any time. On Android: Settings → Google → Backup (or Settings → System → Backup), plus per-app backup controls where available. On Apple devices: Settings → [your name] → iCloud, where you can manage and turn off app backups.
Data Security
Your data is stored locally on your device and is protected by your device's built-in security measures, including lock screen protection and device encryption.
The app itself does not transmit your data over any network. If you have device backups enabled, the transfer and encryption of your backup to your personal cloud account is handled by your operating system and cloud provider (Google or Apple), in accordance with their security practices.
Data Retention and Deletion
Your data remains on your device until you choose to remove it. You can delete your data at any time by:
- Deleting individual tasks, completions, or categories within the app
- Clearing app data through your device's system settings
- Uninstalling the app, which permanently removes all data stored on your device
- Disabling device backups and/or deleting the app's backup from your cloud account (Google Drive or iCloud)
Please note: if you have device backups enabled, a copy of your data may remain in your personal cloud account after you uninstall the app, until it is removed under your cloud provider's retention rules or deleted manually through your Google or Apple account settings.
App Permissions
Tasks on Time requests the following Android permissions, none of which are used to collect or transmit data:
- Notifications — to display reminder notifications when tasks become overdue
- Exact alarms — to schedule precise notification timing for reminders
- Run at startup — to reschedule notifications after your device restarts
- Internet — used only by Google Play Billing for the one-time unlock; the app makes no network calls of its own that send your data anywhere
Device backup (see Device Backups above) does not require an app permission; it is a feature of your device's operating system and is controlled in your system settings.
Children's Privacy
Tasks on Time does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app does not collect personal information from any user. If you believe your child has provided personal information through this app, please contact us — though no mechanism exists within the app to do so.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of Tasks on Time after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
