Privacy Policy for GlanceAway

Last Updated: June 8, 2026

Version: 1.2

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the GlanceAway app developed by Georgios Andi Avenidis. GlanceAway helps users take screen breaks, customize timer intervals, receive reminders, and review simple progress statistics.

The app is designed around local-first tracking. Your timer settings, break routine, session history, statistics, and preferences remain on your device and are not sent to George Valandis servers.

2. Data stored on your device

GlanceAway may store timer settings, work interval settings, break interval settings, reminder preferences, onboarding state, notification preferences, app settings, local premium state, session history, completed break counts, streaks, statistics, and technical app state locally on your device.

This information is used to provide timer, break overlay, reminder, statistics, onboarding, paywall, and settings features.

3. Purchases and third-party services

If you buy or restore premium access, Apple processes the payment through the App Store. GlanceAway uses RevenueCat to validate purchases, restore access, and unlock premium features.

For this purpose, Apple and RevenueCat may process technical purchase and entitlement information, such as product identifiers, purchase or restore status, receipt-related validation data, an anonymous app user identifier, device/app metadata required for purchase validation, and entitlement state.

GlanceAway does not send your timer settings, session history, break statistics, reminder preferences, or routine data to RevenueCat. GlanceAway is not designed to use purchase validation data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

4. Product analytics and diagnostics

GlanceAway includes a privacy-focused analytics layer to help test and improve product flows, especially where users may get stuck, where purchases are attempted, and where review prompts are shown.

When external analytics is enabled in a release build, GlanceAway may send limited product interaction events to TelemetryDeck GmbH, the analytics provider used for this purpose. Events may include app lifecycle events, timer actions, break overlay events, statistics or settings views, paywall and purchase events, onboarding completion, and review prompt eligibility, request, or suppression.

The analytics payload is limited to sanitized event names, short event parameters, app version, build number, locale, operating system, platform, timestamps, and similar technical context. TelemetryDeck may also process an app-installation or device identifier generated by its SDK and session-related identifiers for analytics.

GlanceAway does not send your timer settings, session history, break statistics, reminder contents, screen contents from other apps, names, email addresses, precise location, or advertising identifiers to TelemetryDeck. GlanceAway does not set a custom TelemetryDeck user ID based on your email address or name.

These analytics are used only to understand product usage, diagnose drop-off points, improve onboarding and paywall flows, and improve the timing of review prompts. GlanceAway does not use third-party advertising SDKs and is not designed to track you across apps, websites, or services for advertising purposes.

In debug/test builds, or while no TelemetryDeck app identifier is configured, analytics events may remain local or be treated as test events.

5. Notifications and optional permissions

If you enable reminders or notifications, GlanceAway may use local device notification features to remind you to take screen breaks. You can disable notifications at any time in the app or operating system settings.

If a feature asks for an optional device permission, the permission is used only for the feature described at the time of the request. You can withdraw permissions in system settings.

6. Data transfer and storage

Core timer and statistics data remains on your device. GlanceAway does not operate its own server for your timer settings, break routine, session history, statistics, or preferences. No cloud sync is enabled by default.

Platform-managed backups, such as iCloud device backups, may include local app data depending on your device and account settings. These backups are controlled by the platform provider, not by George Valandis.

7. Data deletion and user rights

You can reset or change app data where the app provides controls for that data. Removing GlanceAway from your device deletes locally stored app data from that device. Platform-managed backups may retain copies according to your Apple account and device backup settings.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of personal data. Because the core app data is stored locally on your device, most control is exercised directly in the app or by deleting the app. For purchase-related data processed by Apple or RevenueCat, the privacy practices and request processes of those providers may also apply.

8. Security, cookies, and tracking

GlanceAway keeps core timer and statistics data on your device. You should protect your device with a passcode, biometric authentication, and current operating system updates.

The mobile app does not use website cookies. GlanceAway is not designed to use advertising trackers or cross-app tracking technologies.

9. Children

GlanceAway is not directed to children under the age of 13. The app does not require an account and is not designed to collect personal data from children. Parents or guardians should supervise children's app use where appropriate.

10. Changes

This policy may be updated when the app, third-party services, or legal requirements change. The latest version is published in the app and on the website.
