Doom Count Coming soon

Last updated

Privacy Policy

Doom Count is owned and operated by Richard Andrews Thattil, an individual based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India ("we", "us"). This policy covers the Doom Count app for iPhone and iPad and the website doomcount.com.

The short version: your countdowns stay on your device. There is no account, and we run no server that holds your data.

1. What the app stores, and where

Everything you create in Doom Count is stored only on your device:

  • Countdowns: titles, start dates, deadlines, styles and colours
  • Checkpoints and your "Are you on track?" answers
  • The record of finished, moved and archived countdowns
  • App settings, such as the chosen app icon and reminder times

None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see it, and we cannot recover it for you if you delete the app or lose the device.

Export and import. You can export everything as a single JSON file from Settings and import it again later. The file goes wherever you choose to save or send it. We never receive a copy.

2. No account

Doom Count does not ask you to sign up. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or any other contact details through the app.

3. Analytics

The app does not collect analytics today. It contains no analytics or advertising software.

A later version may add anonymous usage analytics through PostHog, to learn which features are used and whether widgets and the wallpaper keep working. If that happens:

  • Events will be anonymous and will never include countdown titles, dates, checkpoint names or your answers
  • This policy will be updated before that version is released, with the exact list of what is collected

We do not use advertising identifiers, and the app does not ask for permission to track you across other apps and websites.

4. Notifications

If you turn on reminders, Doom Count schedules notifications for checkpoint days and for any deadline reminders you chose. These are local notifications created on your device. No notification content passes through our servers, because there are none.

5. Widgets, Shortcuts and the daily wallpaper

Widgets read your countdowns from storage shared between the app and its widget on your device.

The daily wallpaper is made on your device. The Shortcut asks the app for today's picture and sets it as your wallpaper. The picture is not uploaded anywhere. The ready-made Shortcut is added from an iCloud link provided by Apple's Shortcuts app; opening that link is subject to Apple's privacy policy.

6. Purchases

Doom Count Pro (Lifetime or Yearly) is bought through Apple's In-App Purchase. Apple processes the payment. We never see or store your card details, and we do not receive your name or email address from a purchase. Apple gives us sales reports that do not identify individual buyers.

7. Sharing

When you share a countdown card, the app creates an image and a short caption with a link to doomcount.com/download. You choose where it goes. The link carries a short label for the kind of share (for example share_progress), not anything about you or your countdown.

8. This website

  • Cloudflare. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and protect the site. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without building a profile of you.
  • Colour choice. If you pick a colour theme on the site, your browser remembers it in local storage. It is not sent to us.
  • Download link. doomcount.com/download forwards you to the App Store. The src label on the link tells us which page or post the click came from, in aggregate.
  • No cookies. The site sets no cookies and has no advertising or cross-site trackers.

9. Third parties

We do not sell, rent or share personal data. The only third parties involved are:

10. Children

Doom Count is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the app collects no personal information at all, there is nothing for us to delete, but you can contact us with any concern.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. Doom Count holds no personal data about you on any server. Your countdowns are on your device and under your control: you can export them, or erase them with Settings, Clear All Data, or by deleting the app.

If you email us, we keep that correspondence only as long as needed to answer you, and you can ask us to delete it.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Changes that affect what is collected will be made before the app version that needs them is released.
