This privacy policy applies to the CountdownZen app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by Mark Stelmachenko (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".
The Application collects information when you download and use it. This transparency ensures you know exactly what data is handled:
We prioritize your privacy: The Application does not gather precise location information.
Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to aid in improving the Application. We partner with the following entities:
We may disclose information as required by law (subpoenas, legal process) or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or your safety.
CountdownZen does not link data collected in the app with third-party data for advertising purposes. Our third-party SDKs - Vexo (analytics), Sentry (crash and error reporting), and RevenueCat (subscription management) assign anonymous identifiers per device or session solely for internal product improvement and subscription management. These identifiers are not tied to your real identity and are not shared with data brokers.
The Application is not directed at children under the age of 16. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has provided personal information through the Application, please contact us at contact@indiezen.me so that we can take appropriate action.
You can stop all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling it. Use the standard processes available on your mobile device or via the app marketplace.
Countdown events are stored locally on your device for as long as you use the Application. Anonymized analytical and diagnostic data retained by our third-party partners is governed by their respective data retention policies. If you have any data-related questions, please contact us at contact@indiezen.me. We respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe.
This policy may be updated periodically. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.
For any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, please reach out via email at contact@indiezen.me.
