Privacy Policy

for the Android app “Rallye Timer” by t-s.dev and the website rallyetimer.de
Last updated: October 2026

1. Controller

The app “Rallye Timer” is offered on Google Play under the developer account “t-s.dev”. The controller within the meaning of the GDPR for the app and this website is:

Tim Schneider (t-s.dev) Dorfstraße 39a 57548 Kirchen Germany Email: info@rallyetimer.de

2. The “Rallye Timer” App

2.1 Principle

Rallye Timer works entirely locally on your device. The app does not require a user account, contains no advertising and no analytics or tracking services, and does not transmit any personal data to me or to third parties.

2.2 Locally Stored Data

Your timers and settings (e.g. times, accent colour, voice, language, vibration) are stored exclusively on your device so that they are retained after you close the app. I have no access to them. You can delete this data at any time by clearing the app data in the Android settings or by uninstalling the app.

If you have enabled Android backup, Android may store these settings in your Google account as part of your device backup. You control this in your device's system settings.

2.3 Device Features

The app uses the following features of your device, exclusively locally:

  • Audio output for voice announcements and signal tones
  • Vibration for optional haptic feedback
  • Keeping the screen on while timers are running

2.4 Purchase and Download via Google Play

Download, purchase and payment are handled by Google Play, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google processes data such as your Google account and your payment information as an independent controller; Google's privacy policy applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Through the Google Play Console, I only receive the order information required for processing (e.g. order number, date, price and country), but no payment data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If you have consented to sharing usage and diagnostics data in your device settings, Google provides me with aggregated crash and performance statistics for the app, which I cannot attribute to any individual. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a stable app).

3. Contact by Email and Testing Phase

If you send me an email, for example to give feedback or to request access to the testing phase, I process your email address and the content of your message in order to handle your request. For the testing phase, I add the Google account address you provide to the tester list in the Google Play Console. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR.

4. Website rallyetimer.de

4.1 Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA). When you access the site, Vercel may store technical access data (e.g. IP address, browser type, timestamp) in server logs. This is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation).

4.2 Analytics & Performance

This website uses Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, services provided by Vercel Inc. (see address above). These services collect aggregated, anonymised usage data such as page views, referrer sources, device and browser type, and load times (Core Web Vitals). No cookies are set and no IP addresses are stored. Identification of individual persons is not possible. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in analysing and improving this website).

4.3 Fonts

This website uses fonts from Google Fonts. They are downloaded during the build process and served from this website's own server. No connection to Google servers is made when you visit the website.

5. Data Security

The app stores your timers and settings in the app's private storage area, which other apps cannot access. The website is delivered exclusively in encrypted form via HTTPS. I treat data from email enquiries confidentially and do not pass it on to third parties. I do not sell user data.

6. Storage Period and Deletion

  • App: Timers and settings remain on your device until you clear the app data or uninstall the app.
  • Email enquiries and tester addresses: I delete them as soon as they are no longer needed to handle your request; tester addresses at the latest when the testing phase ends.
  • Order information from Google Play: I retain it for as long as statutory retention obligations, in particular under tax law, apply.
  • Website: Vercel stores server logs only for a limited period and then deletes them automatically. The analytics data is anonymised.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. To exercise these rights, contact info@rallyetimer.de. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

8. Changes

I will update this privacy policy when the app or website changes, in particular before releasing new features that process additional data (e.g. GPS location).
