This page covers the Sandglass app and this website.
What Sandglass stores
Sandglass keeps your record of the day and your settings on your device. There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to.
Payments
Sandglass is free. There is nothing to buy in the app and nothing to pay for.
Moving to a new phone
On Android, Sandglass's database and settings ride Android's own backup and transfer, so your record arrives without an account. On iPhone the same files travel in whatever backup you have turned on. That backup is between you and Google or Apple, under their policies.
Notifications
Sandglass never rings and never notifies. When you reach your hours it repaints its own widget, which can happen a few minutes later. It makes no sound and there is nothing to dismiss.
Sandglass and the network
We receive anonymous usage stats: the app and its version, the platform, when it was first opened and how long it has been in use, which of our links brought you to the app, and the country the request came from. We use them to see how the apps are used and where they find their audience. We do not keep the connection address, and nothing in the stats identifies you or your phone.
We keep usage stats indefinitely. We cannot tell which ones are yours, so we cannot delete them; to stop the app sending them, uninstall it.
This website
No cookies, no accounts and nothing to sign up for. The web server keeps a standard access log for up to 30 days, and we do not count page views. The one exception is a visit that arrives from one of our own ads or posts: we count it once, with the time, the ad or post it came from, the country and the device type, and nothing that identifies you. If you then tap a store button, we count that too and, except for visitors in the UK and Europe, send Google back the click reference it added to the link, so it can tell the ad worked.
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which handles requests on our behalf; Cloudflare's privacy policy describes how it handles data as our provider. Some pages link out to other services such as Google Play, which are covered by their own privacy policies, not this one.

Sandglass is a general-audience app.
