TimeAgain does not collect your usage data. Your records stay on your device.
The internet connection is used for exactly one thing — Google Play billing.
The android.permission.INTERNET permission is included because Google's
billing library (Google Play Billing) requires it, and there is no communication other
than subscription verification and payment. No ad SDKs, no analytics SDKs, and no server
to receive your records — your usage data stays on your device.
None. TimeAgain does not collect or transmit any personal information.
We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, device identifiers, or location. There is no sign-up and no account.
To work, the app needs to read the information below. All of it is processed only within your device's storage and never leaves it.
These records are stored in a database inside your device's internal storage. Other apps cannot access it, and it is deleted along with the app. You can erase everything at any time with Delete data in Settings.

TimeAgain has no ads. We use no ad SDKs, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no crash-collection tools.
An app built to protect your attention shouldn't sell it. That's why TimeAgain runs on subscriptions instead of ads.

TimeAgain is not directed at children, and does not collect personal information from anyone, children included.
Since no personal information is collected, there is nothing to request access to, correct, or delete on our side. The records on your device are entirely under your control.
If this policy changes, we will announce it on this page along with the effective date. Any change that introduces data collection will also be announced inside the app before it takes effect.
