Privacy Policy

What We Store

DeskTally stores the following data locally on your device using UserDefaults and on-device storage:

• Work day logs: the date, day type (office, WFH, off-site, or leave), and an optional note for each entry
• Settings: your work pattern, attendance target percentage, and period mode preference
• Saved offices: office name, coordinates, and geofence radius (if you use office detection)
• Notification preferences: your chosen reminder times (local notifications only)

All of this lives on your device. None of it is sent to us, and none of it is sent to the services described below.

How We Use It

Your logged days are used for one purpose: calculating and displaying your office attendance against the target you set. There is no profiling, no advertising use, and no sale of your information.

Third-Party Services

Two services run inside the app. Neither of them receives your attendance data.

• RevenueCat handles the DeskTally Plus purchase and tells the app whether your subscription or lifetime unlock is active. It receives the purchase and receipt information Apple provides, along with an anonymous app user ID that is not linked to your name or email address. See the RevenueCat privacy policy.
• Aptabase receives anonymous product analytics: which screens are opened and which features are used. It carries no logged days, no notes, no office locations, and no identifier that points back to you. See the Aptabase privacy policy.

Payment itself happens through the App Store, so Apple processes your purchase under its own terms. DeskTally never sees your card details.

What We Don't Do

• We do not show ads or use ad-tracking frameworks
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your data
• We do not have user accounts, logins, or registration
• We do not ask for your name, email address, or phone number
• We do not send your logged days, notes, or office locations off your device

There is no DeskTally server holding your attendance history, so there is nothing for us to look up, hand over, or lose.

Location Data

DeskTally offers an optional office detection feature that uses your device's location to automatically log when you arrive at your office. This feature requires your explicit permission and can be disabled at any time.

When enabled:

• Your device monitors a geofence around your saved office location
• Location processing happens entirely on your device using iOS system APIs
• Your location is never sent to us, stored on a server, or shared with anyone
• No location history is recorded. Only the arrival event triggers a day log

If you choose not to enable location access, DeskTally works perfectly well with manual day logging. No functionality is locked behind location permissions.

Notifications

DeskTally can send you reminders to log your day. These are local notifications scheduled on your device. They do not involve a push notification service or any server of ours. You can customize or disable them entirely in Settings.

Your Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete everything: use "Reset all data" in DeskTally's Settings to permanently erase everything the app has stored
• Revoke location access: disable location permissions in iOS Settings at any time
• Disable notifications: turn off reminders within the app or via iOS Settings
• Manage a purchase: view or cancel a DeskTally Plus subscription in your Apple Account settings
• Uninstall: deleting the app removes its stored data from your device

There is no account to close and no attendance history for us to export or delete, because we never held it. If you have a question about what RevenueCat or Aptabase holds, email us and we will help you sort it out.

Children's Privacy

DeskTally is not directed at children under 13. The app is designed for working professionals tracking office attendance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this privacy policy, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. If a change affects what leaves your device, we will say so plainly rather than bury it.
