Privacy Policy

Effective October 30, 2026

The short version: PooTO has no accounts and no servers for your data. Everything you track stays on your device, under your control. The only exceptions are the anonymous analytics described below.

What PooTO stores — on your device only

• Your break records (start/end times and durations) in a local database on your device.
• Your settings (work schedule, display name, theme, goals) in local app preferences.
• Achievement, streak, and garden progress derived from those records.

None of your break records, totals, or progress is transmitted to us or to anyone else. PooTO works fully offline.

Anonymous analytics

To understand which features people use, PooTO collects a small number of anonymous events through Google Analytics (Firebase Analytics in the app, Google tag on this website). The events we send ourselves cover only functional choices, such as changing the app theme or turning reminders on or off. In addition, the analytics SDKs automatically record session starts, first opens, and app updates, and page views on this website, together with device model, operating system and app version, language, and approximate country or region. They contain no name, account, or contact information, no break times or durations, no PTO totals, no streak or achievement progress, no precise location, and no advertising identifier. Your break records are never part of analytics. Google Analytics assigns each app install an anonymous installation identifier so events from the same device can be grouped; it is not linked to your name or to any account.

On this website, Google Analytics uses cookies to count visits and see which pages are viewed. You can block these cookies in your browser settings; the site still works without them.

What PooTO does not do

• No user accounts and no sign-in.
• No advertising, and no third-party trackers beyond the anonymous analytics described above.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of personal information — we never receive any in the first place.
• No location tracking, contacts access, or background data collection.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled and delivered locally on your device by the operating system. No notification content passes through a server.

Home-screen widget

The home-screen widget (Android and iOS) reads the same on-device data (PTO totals, today's minutes, streak) through shared on-device storage provided by the operating system. It sends nothing anywhere.

Sharing and export

If you choose to export your break log (CSV) or share a milestone card, the file is created on your device and handed to the share target you pick in the system share sheet. PooTO itself sends nothing.

Deleting your data

Settings → Reset inside the app erases your break records, achievement progress, and leave days. A few preferences (display name, work schedule, theme, goals) stay in place so you don't have to set up again. To remove absolutely everything from your device, uninstall the app — because your break records are stored only on your device, deletion is immediate. Analytics events carry only the anonymous installation identifier described above, not your name or any account, so there is no personal data for us to delete there.

Children

PooTO is a workplace humor app and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
