Privacy policy

Hourlark does not collect, transmit or share any data. Everything you enter stays on your device.

What Hourlark collects

Nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party code. The app contains no networking code, so it cannot send your information to us or to anyone else. We run no servers.

What is stored, and where

• Your causes, time entries, notes, sign-off sheets and proof photos are stored on your iPhone.
• Backup files (JSON, CSV and daily snapshots) are written to the Hourlark folder in the Files app on your iPhone.
• Optional: if you pick an iCloud Drive folder, or turn on the Hourlark iCloud Drive folder, iOS copies those backup files to your own iCloud account. That sync is done by Apple under your Apple Account and Apple's privacy policy. We never see it.
• A small amount of widget data (today's hours, the running timer) is shared between the app and its widgets through an App Group on your device.

Permissions

• Camera: only to scan a signed sheet. Photos stay on your iPhone.
• Notifications: only if you turn on reminders. They are scheduled locally on your device.

Sharing

When you export a report or share a file, you choose where it goes using the standard iOS share sheet. Hourlark does not send it anywhere on its own.

Children

Hourlark collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Deleting your data

Use Settings, then Erase all data, or delete the app. Backup files in the Files app or iCloud Drive remain until you delete them.
