Privacy
Short version: your countdowns are yours. Guests stay on your device, and signed-in timers sync only to your own account.
What we store
Without an account, your countdowns live only in this browser (in your browser's local storage). They never leave your device. Clearing your browser data deletes them — and it does not delete cloud timers saved under an account.
With an account, we store your account email and username, plus the countdowns you sync: titles, target and end times, colors, categories, status, and timestamps. Email, username, and countdown titles are encrypted at rest in Postgres so a database admin cannot read them. Accounts are managed by Clerk (Clerk still holds your email and username for sign-in), and synced timers are stored in a hosted Postgres database scoped to your account with row-level security — only you can read or change your rows. Guest timers and the signed-in local copy in this browser stay in IndexedDB as plaintext on your device.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data.
- We don't run advertising or ad trackers.
- We don't read the contents of your countdowns beyond what the app needs to run them for you.
Deleting your data
Deleting a countdown in the app removes it from your board and, if you're signed in, from your synced account. If you'd like your whole account and its synced timers removed, reach out and we'll take care of it.
