Roundloft privacy policy
For the Roundloft interval timer on Android, published by Soudan Labs. The short version: your timers and workout history stay on your phone. The app uses the internet only for its advertising, provided by Google AdMob, and for the optional one-time purchase that removes the ads, which Google Play handles.
01What we collect
Nothing. The app has no sign-in and asks for no name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or location. Soudan Labs runs no server for the app and receives no data from it. It contains no analytics or crash-reporting code of our own. The one exception is an optional purchase: Google Play then gives us a record of that order, described in section 3.
02Advertising
Roundloft is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob, shown in the timer list, in settings and after some finished workouts, never while a workout is running. If you buy Remove ads, the app stops loading the advertising code and requests no ads at all. To choose and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects your device’s advertising ID and app set ID, IP address and the approximate location derived from it, how you use the app and its ads (such as app launches and taps), and diagnostic information about the app’s and the SDK’s performance, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Google uses this as described in how Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google’s privacy policy.
Where the law requires it, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google’s consent form. You can reset or opt out of personalised ads with your advertising ID in your phone’s settings, under Privacy, then Ads.
03Purchases through Google Play
Removing the ads is an optional one-time purchase made through Google Play, which handles the payment. We never see your card or bank details. Google Play shows us a record of each order (its order number, what was bought, the price, taxes and fees, and its status) and lets us find an order by the buyer’s email address, which we use only to answer your questions and handle refunds. The app asks the Google Play app on your phone whether you own the purchase, and keeps only that yes or no on your phone so the ads stay off when you are offline. What Google collects for purchases is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
04What stays on your phone
Your timers, their intervals, your settings, whether you removed the ads and a history of the workouts you finish are stored only in the app’s private storage on your phone. Soudan Labs never receives them. If Android backup is turned on, Android may include this data in your encrypted backup to your Google account, as it does for other apps; that is managed by Google and you can turn it off in your phone’s settings. Uninstalling Roundloft deletes the data from your phone.
05Voice cues, sounds and notifications
Optional voice cues are spoken by the text-to-speech engine already installed on your phone; the app passes it only phase and interval names. While a workout runs, the app shows a notification so you can pause or resume it from the lock screen. It uses exact alarms and a wake lock only to keep the timer on time with the screen off. When a phone call starts, the app pauses the workout by noticing that your phone’s audio has switched to a call; it does not read your phone state, calls or numbers.
06Your choices
Apart from Google Play’s record of a purchase, we hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct or delete. You can delete any timer in the app, and uninstalling it deletes everything it stored on your phone. For data Google collects for ads, use your phone’s ad settings or My Ad Center. Questions about anything here go to [email protected].
07Children
Roundloft is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
08Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. A change that affects what the app stores or sends will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
