PondererPrivacy Policy
The short version: Ponderer does not collect your personal data. There is no tracking and no analytics. Your pond, koi and focus history are stored on your iPhone and are not sent to us.
Who we are
Ponderer (“we”, “us”) makes the Ponderer: Focus & Study Timer app for iPhone. If you have a question about this policy, email support@pondererapp.com (support@pondererapp.com).
What stays on your iPhone
To run the app, Ponderer saves the following on your device only:
- Your pond: koi, garden items, looks and where you placed them
- Your focus history: session lengths, dates, streaks and goals
- Your pearls, unlocks and settings, such as sound and session length
This data is not uploaded to us or to anyone else. If your iPhone backs up apps to iCloud, Apple may include it in your device backup under Apple’s own privacy policy. Deleting the app deletes this data from your iPhone.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, photos, device identifiers or usage data. Ponderer contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Purchases
Pond+ and other in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple tells the app only which purchases are active on your device, so it can unlock them. Apple’s handling of your payment is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
Sharing and wallpapers
When you share a picture of your pond or save it as a wallpaper, the image is made on your iPhone. It only leaves your device if you choose where to send it in the iOS share sheet. Inviting friends works the same way: you pick the app and the people, and we are not told who they are.
Children
Ponderer is suitable for a general audience. Because we do not collect personal data from anyone, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Your rights
Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. You control everything Ponderer stores, and you can remove it at any time by deleting the app. If you live in a region with data protection laws, such as the EU, UK or California, you can still contact us with any question about your rights.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change how Ponderer handles data, for example by adding an optional feature that needs it, we will update this page and the effective date before the change goes live, and explain it in the app’s release notes.
