All your personal data, including custom timers, settings, and preferences, are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties.

Analytics Data

Usage and technical data collected through Firebase Analytics is stored securely on Google's servers and is subject to Google's privacy policies and security measures.

4Third-Party Services

TastyTimer uses Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google Inc. Firebase Analytics may collect, monitor and analyze app usage data to help us improve our service.
