Comprehensive Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 16, 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
Welcome to StandBy Clock & Photo Display ("App", "we", "our", or "us"). This Comprehensive Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our mobile application and website. By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our App.
2. Information We Collect and How We Use It
We are firm believers in data minimalization. The App is designed to function primarily locally on your device.
- Local Device Permissions (Photos/Media): We request access to your device's photo gallery solely to allow you to display your chosen photos within the App's slideshow feature. We do not upload, share, or store your photos on any external servers. All photographic processing remains locally on your device.
- Location Data: If you activate the Weather widget, we request location permissions (Coarse or Fine) to fetch real-time local weather data. This data is transmitted securely to our third-party weather provider (OpenWeatherMap) and is not stored or logged by us.
- Usage Data: We do not track or collect personal usage behavior within the app.
3. Third-Party Services
Our App employs third-party services that may collect information used to identify you to ensure core functionalities function appropriately:
- Google Play Services: Utilized for app delivery, validation, and fundamental anonymous crash reporting.
- OpenWeatherMap API: Utilized for fetching weather information if authorized by the user. Please consult their respective privacy policies to understand how they handle data.
4. Data Security and Retention
We value your trust in providing us your personal preferences. Therefore, all app customized settings and cached temporary data (e.g., weather cache) are strictly stored locally on your device using encrypted native storage protocols. Since we do not transmit this data to external databases, data retention is entirely in your control; uninstalling the App clears all associated data.
5. Children's Privacy
Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our records (if any existed).
6. Disclaimer of Liability
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your data locally, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. By using this App, you acknowledge that we are not liable for any unauthorized access to your device, data loss, or device damage (such as screen burn-in, though prevention mechanisms are in place).
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
