Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how TimeBank ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the TimeBank iOS application and related services (together, the "Service"). We aim to collect as little as possible and to be transparent about everything we do collect.
Summary
- Most of your activity data — habits, fasts, focus sessions, time-bank entries — is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us.
- When you tap "generate report" in the AI Coach, the prompt and the activity data you choose to include are sent through our secure endpoint to NVIDIA Corporation's NIM API for inference, and the response is returned to you.
- We do not sell personal information. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Information We Process
Information stored on your device
Habit logs, fasting timers, focus-session history, time-bank tier progress, in-app preferences, and notes are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this information unless you submit it through a feature that requires server processing (such as the AI Coach).
Information sent through the AI Coach
When you request an AI-generated report, the following may be transmitted from your device to our endpoint and on to NVIDIA's NIM API:
- the prompt and any activity data you have chosen to include in the report request;
- the model name and basic generation parameters (e.g. temperature, max tokens);
- standard request metadata such as IP address and user-agent string, processed by our infrastructure provider for security and abuse prevention.
We do not log the contents of your prompts or the AI-generated responses on our servers. NVIDIA processes the request under its own privacy policy.
Subscriptions and purchases
Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive only the receipt-validation result needed to activate or restore entitlements; we do not receive your full payment details. Apple's handling of your payment information is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Diagnostics
If enabled by your device settings, Apple may share aggregated and anonymized crash and performance diagnostics with us through App Store Connect. This information is not linked to your identity.
How We Use Information
- to provide, maintain, and operate the Service, including the AI Coach;
- to fulfill purchases and manage subscriptions;
- to monitor for fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- to comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests;
- with your consent, to contact you about the Service.
We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell or rent personal information.
How We Share Information
We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Service, including Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting and edge functions) and NVIDIA Corporation (large-language-model inference via NIM API). These providers process information on our instructions and under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
- Apple Inc., in connection with App Store distribution, in-app purchases, and platform analytics that you may have enabled.
- Authorities or other parties when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.
- In connection with a corporate transaction (e.g. merger or acquisition), where information may be transferred subject to this Policy.
Data Retention
Activity data on your device is retained until you delete it or uninstall the application. Edge-server logs (such as IP addresses and request metadata) are retained by our infrastructure providers for a limited period for security and operational reasons, typically no longer than 30 days, then discarded.
Security
All data transmitted between the application and our servers is protected with industry-standard transport encryption (HTTPS/TLS). Communication between our servers and NVIDIA is similarly encrypted. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately to the risk.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information; to object to processing; and to data portability. Because most of your data is stored on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly within the application by editing or deleting entries, or by uninstalling the application. For other requests, contact tbfasting@outlook.com.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one in which you reside, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact tbfasting@outlook.com and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If the changes are material, we will provide notice within the Service or by other reasonable means. The "Effective" date at the top reflects the latest revision.
