Privacy Policy
**Effective date:** September 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how OHATIMO ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the TimeCamera mobile application (the "App"). TimeCamera lets you record video with a stopwatch or countdown overlay, manage sports sessions and results, and optionally use account and subscription features.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
Depending on the features you use, you may provide:
- An email address, mobile phone number, password, display name, gender, and optional remarks when you create or manage an account.
- Information supplied through Google or Apple sign-in, such as an account identifier, name, and email address, subject to the settings and privacy policies of those providers.
- Sports, session, athlete/person, result, date, note, visibility, and other content that you enter into the App.
- Support or other communications that you send to us.
Information created or accessed on your device
With your permission, the App may access:
- **Camera and microphone:** to provide camera previews and record video and audio when you start a recording.
- **Screen recording:** to record the App screen, with or without camera overlay and microphone audio, when you explicitly start that feature.
- **Photos and videos:** to select images such as team logos and to save recordings or exported result images to your device's media library.
- **Location:** only when you choose a location-related watermark or tracking feature and grant foreground location permission. Location may be converted into a readable place name or displayed in the recording.
- **Device and application information:** limited technical information may be processed by the operating system, Expo, RevenueCat, sign-in providers, or other service providers as necessary to operate their services. We do not use the App to collect precise location continuously or to record in the background without the relevant system permission and your action.
Recordings, photos, and audio are created for your use. The App does not automatically upload your camera recordings, screen recordings, or photo-library media to our servers. They may be stored locally and may be shared by you through your device's normal sharing features.
2. How we use information
We use information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the App and its recording, timer, export, session, and account features.
- Create and authenticate accounts, provide password recovery, and keep you signed in.
- Store and display your sports sessions, people, records, and other account content across your signed-in devices.
- Process subscriptions, determine entitlement status, and provide paid features.
- Respond to support requests, protect the App, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use camera, microphone, screen-recording, or location data for advertising.
3. When information is shared
We may share information only as reasonably necessary to operate the App:
- **Our backend service:** Account information and the sports/session data you choose to sync are transmitted over HTTPS to our backend at `time-cam-api.ohatimo.com`.
- **Authentication providers:** If you use Google or Apple sign-in, the relevant provider processes authentication information under its own privacy policy.
- **RevenueCat and app stores:** RevenueCat receives information needed to manage in-app purchases and subscription entitlements. Apple or Google may process payment and purchase information. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
- **Service providers and legal recipients:** We may disclose information to vendors that help us host, secure, support, or operate the App, or when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights and safety.
We do not share your private session content for advertising. If you mark content as public, it may be made available through the App's public features as described when you use that feature.
4. Local storage and security
Login tokens and certain account identifiers are stored locally on your device so the App can maintain your session. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including encrypted network transmission where supported. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for protecting your device, account credentials, and any recordings or exports that you share.
5. Retention
We retain account and synchronized content for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You can delete your account from the App where that option is available, or contact us to request deletion. Local recordings, exported images, and cached files remain on your device until you or your device's operating system deletes them.
6. Your choices and rights
You can:
- Deny or later revoke camera, microphone, screen-recording, photo-library, and location permissions in your device settings. Some features will not work without the relevant permission.
- Review, edit, or delete account content through the App where supported.
- Sign out and remove locally stored login information from the App.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we control, subject to applicable law.
- Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable law provides that right.
To make a privacy request, contact us at [ohatimo.com/contact](https://ohatimo.com/contact). We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
7. Children's privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so that we can review and delete it where required.
8. International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
9. Third-party links and services
The App may link to or use third-party services, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat, and web pages operated by OHATIMO. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies before using the relevant service.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version in the App or at our privacy-policy webpage and update the effective date above. Your continued use of the App after an update means that you acknowledge the updated policy.
