Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Kitchen Sync (the "App") handles your information.
We take your privacy seriously. This App does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data or device information with us or any third party.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
The App does not request, access, or transmit:
Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information.
Location data.
Contacts, calendar, or media files.
Device identifiers (IMEI, MAC address, Android ID, etc.).
Usage statistics or analytics.
Crash logs.
2. Permissions Used
The App requests certain Android permissions to provide its core cooking timer features. These permissions are used only locally on your device and never send data anywhere else.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS | To display timer completion alerts and cooking step notifications. |
| USE_EXACT_ALARM / SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM | To schedule precise timer alarms for cooking steps. |
| FOREGROUND_SERVICE | To keep timers running even when the app is in the background. |
| FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE | To run a foreground service for coordinated multi-dish cooking timers. |
| RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED | To restore and re‑arm active timers after a device reboot. |
All these permissions are used solely for local timer functionality. No data obtained through these permissions is ever transmitted, stored, or shared.
3. Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or cloud services. No data is sent over the internet.
4. Data Storage
All timer settings, cooking schedules, and preferences are stored locally on your device (e.g., using Android's SharedPreferences or local databases). We do not have access to this data, and it is never backed up to our servers.
5. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since no data is collected at all, no special handling is required.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we ever update this Privacy Policy, we will post the new version within the App. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting.
