Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 7, 2025


Introduction

At Promodo, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Pomodoro timer application.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal data to provide our service:

  • Local Storage Data: guest timer settings, task lists, and preferences stored locally on your device
  • User Preferences: Theme settings, notification preferences, and preset configurations
  • Account and Sync Data: if you sign in, Promodo stores your email, password hash or OAuth account, tasks, sessions, preferences, achievements, push subscriptions, and focus-cafe presence so your data can sync across devices. Usage analytics help improve the service.

How We Use Information

  • To provide core timer functionality
  • To improve our application based on usage patterns
  • To remember your preferences across sessions

Data Storage

Promodo is local-first for guests: timer, task, and progress data stay in browser localStorage unless you choose to sign in. When you sign in or enable cloud features, the app stores the synced data needed for your account in PostgreSQL so it can work across devices. You can continue using the core timer without an account.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Analytics and reliability services, including Amplitude, Google Analytics, and Sentry
  • Cloud, email, and authentication providers, including Vercel, Resend, Google OAuth, and database hosting

Your Rights

  • Access: You can view guest data in browser localStorage and signed-in data through the app surfaces that sync from your account
  • Deletion: Clear browser data to remove local guest data; contact us or use account controls when available to remove synced account data
  • Control: You can use the core timer without an account, and cloud sync remains optional

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
