Privacy Policy for Minutely

Effective date: March 26, 2026

Minutely is a time-journaling app that helps you track how you spend your day. This Privacy Policy explains what information Minutely handles, how it is used, and what choices you have.

1. Information Minutely Handles

Depending on how you use the app, Minutely may handle:

• Activity and timeline data, such as activity names, custom activities, session start times, session end times, and related timeline history.
• App settings and preferences, such as theme preference, onboarding state, quick activity choices, notification permission state, and Live Activity preference.
• Support information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address and the contents of a support message if you contact us.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Minutely uses this information to:

• Provide the core activity tracking, timeline, editing, and statistics features of the app.
• Sync your data across your Apple devices through iCloud when CloudKit sync is available for your Apple account and device settings.
• Show your current activity through Live Activities and related system surfaces on supported devices.
• Respond to support requests or questions you send.

3. Where Your Data Is Stored

Your app data is primarily stored locally on your device.

If iCloud sync is available and active for Minutely, certain app data may also be stored in your private iCloud database using Apple's CloudKit services so your information can sync across your devices.

Minutely does not use a separate developer-operated backend server to store your activity timeline data for this version of the app.

4. Notifications and Live Activities

Minutely may request permission to use notifications-related system features. If enabled, information about your current activity may appear on your Lock Screen, in Notification Center, or in the Dynamic Island on supported devices through Live Activities.

This information may be visible to people who can view your device screen.

Minutely does not use notifications for advertising.

5. Sharing of Information

Minutely does not sell your personal information and does not use third-party advertising SDKs or third-party analytics SDKs in this version of the app.

Your data may be processed by Apple as needed to provide Apple platform services you use with the app, such as iCloud/CloudKit, notifications, and Live Activities. Those services are also governed by Apple's own terms and privacy practices.

If you contact support by email, your message may also be processed by your and our email providers as part of normal email delivery.

6. Data Retention

Activity data and app settings are retained until you delete them, reset them, or remove the app and associated app data from your device and, where applicable, your iCloud account.

Support emails or support requests may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and keep support records.

7. Your Choices

• You can edit or delete activity entries inside the app.
• You can manage notification permissions in the iOS Settings app.
• You can manage iCloud settings for your Apple account and device through Apple's system settings.
• You may stop using the app at any time.

8. Children's Privacy

Minutely is not specifically directed to children under 13. If you believe personal information has been provided in a way that raises a privacy concern, contact us and we will review the request.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If it changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date.
