SinceSince

Since is a counter app: you record the date something happened and it tells you how long it has been. Everything you enter — event titles, dates, notes, icons, colours, photos, goals, reminders, milestones and reset history — is stored locally on your device. There is no account and no server of ours that receives your data.

Data Storage

All event data is stored on your device in a local SQLite database, together with your app preferences (theme, language, display units). Local data may be included in your device's automatic backups (for example iCloud backup). We cannot read those backups.

Photos

If you add a photo background to an event, the image you pick is copied into the app's private storage on your device. The app reads only the photos you explicitly select; it does not scan your library. Photos are deleted when you remove them from the event or delete the event.

Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets

Widgets read a copy of your events from a storage area shared between the app and the widget on your device (an App Group). This data never leaves the device.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, Since schedules local notifications on your device. They are generated entirely on-device and do not require an internet connection or any notification server.

Data Export and Import

You can export your events to a CSV file from Settings, and import one back. Exports happen only when you trigger them, and the file goes wherever you choose to save or share it.

Purchases and Subscriptions

Since Pro is sold through the App Store as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is handled by Apple; we never see your card details.

To unlock Pro on your device and let you restore it later, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier generated on your device, the App Store purchase receipt, and basic device information (platform, OS and app version, locale). It does not receive your name, email, or any of your event data. Purchase records are retained for as long as needed to honour your purchase and handle restores.

Advertising

The free version of Since shows a banner ad on the home screen, served by Google AdMob. Ads are requested in non-personalized mode: they are not based on your interests or an advertising profile, and Since does not ask for permission to track you across apps. To serve and measure ads, Google still receives standard request data such as your IP address, coarse location derived from it, device model, OS version and ad interaction events. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Ads are removed entirely when you upgrade to Since Pro.

Third-Party Services

The only third parties that receive any data from the app are Apple (App Store purchases), RevenueCat (purchase validation and entitlements) and Google AdMob (ads for free users), as described above. Since does not use analytics, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs, and never sells or shares your data for marketing.

Data Deletion

You can delete individual events, their photos, or all data at any time from within the app. Uninstalling the app permanently removes all locally stored data, including the widget copy. Purchase records held by Apple and RevenueCat are tied to your Apple ID and the anonymous app identifier and can be removed on request via the contact below.

Children

Since is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to This Policy

If a future version of the app changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated and the date above revised before that version ships.
