Privacy Policy
Driftless is an ADHD time-awareness app that plays sounds at intervals so you can sense elapsed time without looking at your screen. This policy explains what Driftless does and does not do with your information. It is short because Driftless is built to keep your data on your device.
Data we collect
None. Driftless does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal or device data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash-reporting services, and no third-party SDKs that gather data.
Data stored on your device
Your settings — interval length, sound choices, alternate pattern, do-not-disturb override, and similar preferences — are saved locally on your device using Android's standard app storage. This information never leaves your phone and is not accessible to us or anyone else. Uninstalling the app removes it.
Network access
Driftless has no internet permission and makes no network connections. It cannot send your data anywhere because it has no way to reach the network.
Permissions and why they are used
- Exact alarms — to play interval sounds at precise times, even when the screen is off.
- Foreground service & notifications — to keep the timer running reliably and show its status.
- Ignore battery optimizations (optional) — to prevent the system from stopping the timer in the background. You choose whether to grant this.
- Notification policy access — to optionally let sounds play through Do Not Disturb, only if you enable that.
- Wake lock — to briefly keep the device awake long enough to play each sound.
None of these permissions are used to collect or transmit information. If you pick a system ringtone as a sound, Driftless reads that sound file from your device locally to play it.
Children
Driftless is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a new effective date.
