OnTimer Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 9, 2026
1. Introduction
Breakout Growth ("we," "our," or "us") operates OnTimer, including the ontimer.app website, mobile applications, calculators, planning tools, reminder tools, educational content, subscriptions, and related services (collectively, "OnTimer" or "the Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use OnTimer.
Some OnTimer features are available through the website, while others require the mobile application. The information we collect depends on the features you use and the permissions you grant.
By using OnTimer, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
🔒 KEY PRIVACY PRINCIPLES
- Read-Only Calendar Access: We only READ your calendar events. We never modify, create, delete, or share your calendar data.
- Local Storage: Calendar data is primarily stored on your device, not on our servers.
- Minimal Data Collection: We collect only what's necessary to provide alarm functionality.
- Permission-Based Location: Precise location is used only if you grant permission, such as for Time to Leave reminders.
- No Data Selling: We never sell your personal information to third parties.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Calendar Data (Read-Only)
When you connect Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook Calendar, OnTimer requests read-only access to the calendar information needed to display events, schedule reminders, deliver persistent notifications, calculate Time to Leave reminders, and allow you to select which calendars to monitor.
Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar use OAuth authentication. Apple Calendar uses Apple's EventKit framework and iOS Calendar permissions instead of OAuth. In all cases, OnTimer's access is read-only: OnTimer cannot and does not create, edit, or delete your calendar events.

Important: OnTimer uses the following OAuth scopes:
- Google Calendar:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly (read-only access)
- Microsoft Outlook Calendar:
Calendars.Read (read-only access)
These scopes grant read-only access to your calendar events. Apple Calendar access is controlled by iOS Calendar permissions through Apple's EventKit framework. OnTimer cannot and does not modify, create, or delete your calendar events through any calendar provider.
2.2 Location Information
Time to Leave reminders may optionally use your current location together with an event location to estimate when you should leave. Precise location is used only if you grant location permission on your device. If you do not grant location permission, OnTimer may still display events and schedule non-location-based reminders, but location-aware Time to Leave features may be limited or unavailable.
We do not sell location information, and we do not use precise location for advertising.
2.3 Device Information
We collect limited device information to provide notification services:
- Device token: For Apple Push Notifications (to trigger background syncs)
- App version and build number: For troubleshooting and support
- Operating system version: To ensure compatibility
- Device timezone: To display event times correctly
2.4 App Usage Analytics
We collect anonymous usage data to improve the App:
- App opens and feature usage
- Notification interaction (dismissed, tapped, etc.)
- Subscription status (free vs. premium)
- Error logs and crash reports
This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally.
2.5 Website Analytics and Usage Information
When you visit ontimer.app or use website tools, calculators, educational content, or support pages, we may collect analytics used to understand website usage, feature adoption, referral sources, and marketing performance, such as:
- Pages viewed, links clicked, and referring pages
- Browser type, device type, operating system, and approximate region
- Usage of website tools, calculators, reminder tools, educational content, and related features
- Campaign, attribution, and conversion information, such as whether a page visit leads to an App Store link click
- Technical information used to keep the website secure and working properly
This website data is used to understand page usage, feature adoption, and referral sources, improve the Service, troubleshoot issues, and measure marketing performance. We do not use your calendar event content for advertising.

If you create an account or subscribe to premium features:
- Email address: Used for account management and support (optional)
- Subscription status: Managed by RevenueCat and the Apple App Store
- Purchase history: Stored by Apple App Store and RevenueCat for subscription management, not by OnTimer as payment card information
