Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At ItsMeMomo Developer Portfolio (itsmemomo.com), trust is the foundation of our software. This Privacy Policy explains how Golden Hour handles your information. It covers Golden Hour alone — every app we publish has a policy of its own, listed at itsmemomo.com/privacy.

Section 2 covers the anonymous usage statistics and crash reports that Golden Hour collects, and says exactly what those are. Golden Hour shows no ads. In every case, the things you actually create stay on your device and are never sent to us.

2. Golden Hour — Anonymous Usage Statistics

Golden Hour includes Google Firebase Analytics, so we can see which features people actually use and where they get stuck. It also includes Firebase Crashlytics, so that when the app crashes we find out and can fix it. We have tried to keep this as narrow as it can reasonably be, and we would rather tell you exactly what it is than describe it vaguely.

What the app does send:

• A random app-instance ID. Generated on your device, not linked to your name, email or Google account, and reset if you reinstall the app.

• Which screens and features are used, and how long a session lasts. In Golden Hour it is which screen was opened; whether a place was added by searching the list or by typing coordinates (never which place); whether “Use my location” worked, failed or was declined (never the location); how far from today a day you looked at or shared was, in rough steps (tomorrow, this week, this month, further); that the day chart was read, the week opened or the compass switched on; and a change of the golden-hour or blue-hour edge, the clock or the theme. Never a place’s name, coordinates or time zone, your position, or anything you type.

• Your device model, Android version and approximate country, worked out from your IP address. Not a precise location — we cannot see your street, your city or your GPS position.

• Crash reports. If the app crashes, Crashlytics sends the technical details of the failure: where in the code it happened, your device model and Android version, how long the app had been open, and which screen. It is what lets us fix the crash rather than wait for someone to describe it. It does not include what you were looking at.

What it never sends, and this is the part that matters:

• Your content. Golden Hour never transmits your location, your places or their names, or the dates you look at — the Sun’s times are worked out on your phone. If you tap “Use my location” and allow it, the app reads your approximate position once, uses it on your phone to find the nearest town and its clock, and keeps it there; it never asks for your precise position, never reads it in the background, and never sends it anywhere. That data is written to your device and stays there.

• The advertising ID — Golden Hour 1.0. We switch this off explicitly. The app does not request the Android advertising ID permission, and we do not use it, so this data cannot be used to build an advertising profile of you.

• Anything to anyone else. We do not sell, rent or share these statistics, and we do not participate in data brokerage. They exist so we can improve the app.

The “More apps” screen. Our apps can show a list of our other apps on a separate screen that you open from the app’s menu or settings. To fill it, the app downloads that list and the apps’ icons from this website (itsmemomo.com) and keeps the last copy on your phone so the screen also works offline. The request carries nothing about you or your use of the app — only what any visit to a web page carries, such as your IP address — and we do not use it to identify you. Nothing is downloaded until you open the screen.

The app does request internet permission, which is what makes the statistics above possible. There is currently no in-app switch to turn these statistics off; if you would prefer not to send them, uninstalling the app stops it completely. If we add such a switch, or change what is collected, we will update this policy and the app’s Play Store data-safety details before that version is released.

3. Children

• No app of ours aimed at children touches the advertising ID. Golden Hour does not request the Android advertising ID permission at all, so it cannot be used to build an advertising profile of a child or to target ads at them.

If you are a parent or guardian and have a question about what your child’s device sends us, please email us — the answer is exactly the list in Section 2.

4. Data Requests

For Golden Hour, the usage statistics in Section 2 are anonymous and are not tied to your identity, so we have no way to find “your” records in order to return or delete them — there is no account and no name attached to them. Uninstalling the app stops any further collection. If you email us for support, we use your email address only to answer you.

We update this policy whenever what the app collects changes; the date above is the date of its latest revision.
