StandByPrivacy policy
The short version
StandBy does not collect, transmit, share or sell any personal or sensitive data. The app has no internet permission, so it cannot send anything off your phone. There are no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting, no accounts and no third-party SDKs that track you. We have no servers that receive your data.
What stays on your phone
The things you create in the app, such as tasks, tracked time, timers, Pomodoro sessions, habits, counters, pages and settings, are saved only in the app's private storage on your device. No other app can read them, and we cannot see them.
Permissions and information the app reads
Each permission is optional, is requested only when you use the feature that needs it, and can be turned off at any time in Android settings. The app still works without them.
- Calendar (
READ_CALENDAR): requested only when you add a calendar widget. Upcoming events are read to show them on screen. They are held in memory only, and are never saved, logged or sent anywhere. - Notification access: requested only when you add the notifications or now playing widgets, after an in-app explanation, and granted by you in Android's "Notification access" settings. The app uses it to show your current notifications and the media that is playing (title, artist, album art and play, pause and skip controls) on the StandBy screen. This content is processed on your device, held in memory only, and is never saved, logged, shared or sent. Message previews are off by default; with previews off, notification titles and text are removed before they reach the screen. The app cannot reply to, open or dismiss your notifications, and it keeps no notification history.
- Notifications (
POST_NOTIFICATIONS) and exact alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM): used only to alert you when a Pomodoro or interval timer you started finishes while the app is closed. The alert is created on your device. - Vibration (
VIBRATE): used only to buzz when a timer phase ends. Android shows no prompt for it.
StandBy does not use your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files, advertising ID or device identifiers.
Android backup
Android's built-in backup may copy the app's data, such as your tasks and settings, to your own Google account if you have device backup turned on, and may restore it when you set up a new phone. This is done by Android under your Google account's settings and privacy terms. Webly Work does not receive or have access to these backups. You can turn this off in your phone's Google backup settings.
Sharing and third parties
We do not share data with anyone, because we do not collect any. The app contains no advertising, analytics or other third-party services that receive data about you.
Data retention and deleting your data
Your data is kept on your device until you remove it. You can delete individual tasks, pages and sessions in the app. To remove everything, clear the app's storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. If Android backup is on, delete the backup in your Google account settings.
Security
Your data stays in the app's private storage, protected by Android's app sandbox. Nothing is transmitted, and the app exposes no way for other apps to read it.
Children
StandBy is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. If a future version of the app ever needs to collect data, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
