Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 1, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Work Counter (“we,” “our,” or “us”), developed by Beren Software, handles information when you use our mobile application (the “App”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
​

Third-Party Services: External services integrated into the App for analytics, subscription management, and advertisements.
​
​
2. Information We Collect
We have designed Work Counter to minimize data collection:
-
Locally Stored Data: All hour entries, projects, tasks, and notes you create are stored locally on your device and optionally synchronized via your personal iCloud account. We have no access to this data.
-
Analytics Data: We use anonymized analytics to understand how features are used and to improve app functionality. No personal data or specific hour/project data is collected.
-
Third-Party SDKs:
-
RevenueCat: Handles in-app purchases and subscription management. May process anonymized transaction data required for purchase validation.
-
TelemetryDeck: Collects aggregated, anonymized usage data for performance monitoring and feature improvement.
-
-
No Sensitive Data: We do not collect health, financial, biometric, or other sensitive information.
​
​
3. How We Use Data
​
Anonymized data is processed exclusively for:
-
Enhancing app features and usability.
-
Processing in-app purchases through RevenueCat.
-
Identifying technical issues and improving stability.
We do not sell or rent user information to third parties.
​
​
4. Legal Basis for Processing
​
Under GDPR, our processing activities are based on:
-
Legitimate Interests: For anonymized analytics aimed at improving user experience.
-
Contractual Necessity: To validate in-app purchases via RevenueCat.
​
​
5. Data Retention
-
Local Data: Stored solely on your device or synced via your iCloud account and remains there until you delete it or uninstall the App.
-
Third-Party Data: RevenueCat, AdMob, and analytics providers manage retention according to their respective privacy policies.
​
6. Data Sharing and International Transfers
​
We do not share personal data with third parties.
-
Limited anonymized data may be transferred to servers outside the EU/EEA by third-party services.
-
Transfers are protected through legally recognized safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
​
​
7. Security Measures
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect information:
-
Local data storage secured by Apple’s iOS protection mechanisms.
-
Encrypted communication channels with third-party services.
-
Strict access control and monitoring to prevent unauthorized data access.
​
​
8. Your Rights under GDPR

You have the following rights under GDPR:
-
Access – Request access to any personal data we may hold.
-
Rectification – Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
-
Erasure – Request deletion of your personal data.
-
Restriction – Request limited processing of your data.
