1. Data Ownership and Local Storage

Trip Timer is designed to operate with maximum privacy.

• Trip Content: All vacation destinations, countdown titles, and trip dates are stored locally on your device’s internal storage.
• Vacation Photos: Images you choose from your device’s gallery or camera roll to customize your countdown are stored within the App’s local “sandbox.”
• No Server Uploads: We do NOT upload your vacation photos or trip details to our servers. Mintzi LLC does not have access to, and cannot recover, your local trip data.

2. Technical Data Collected by Third Parties

To maintain the App’s performance and provide advertisements, we use Software Development Kits (SDKs) from Google that collect technical identifiers.

A. Google Firebase (Analytics & Crash Reporting)

We use Firebase to improve stability and user experience.

• Data Collected: Device model, OS version, Firebase installation IDs, and anonymized app usage metrics (e.g., how often features are used).
• Purpose: To identify bugs, prevent crashes, and understand general user trends without identifying you personally.
• Retention: Crash data is retained for 90 days; analytics data for approximately 2 months.

B. Google AdMob (Advertising)

The free version of the App serves advertisements.

• Data Collected: Your device’s Advertising ID (AAID), IP address (for approximate location), and ad interaction data.
• Personalization: You may choose between personalized or non-personalized ads. You can manage your ad preferences in your device settings.

3. Links to Third-Party Policies

Our third-party providers have their own data handling practices:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Firebase Privacy Overview
• Google AdMob Policies
• How Google uses information from apps that use our services

4. International Privacy Rights (GDPR and CCPA)

A. European Union / UK (GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your data.

• Local Data: You have full control over your local data. Deleting the App will erase all local trip info and photos.
• Metadata: Since we do not link technical data to your identity, “erasure” occurs at the end of the standard retention period.
• Legal Basis: We process technical data based on our “Legitimate Interests” in providing a stable app, and based on your “Consent” for personalized advertising.

B. California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what data is collected and the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information.

• Opt-Out: We “share” ad identifiers with Google AdMob to serve ads. To opt-out, please visit your device’s “Ads” settings and enable “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” or use the App’s integrated consent settings.

5. Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe we have inadvertently collected such data via our SDKs, please contact us.

6. Updates to this Policy

We may update this policy periodically. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.

1. Intellectual Property Rights

The App and all its original content, features, and functionality (including the “Trip Timer” brand, logo, and custom countdown styles) are and will remain the exclusive property of Mintzi LLC. We grant you a limited, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use on a compatible Android device.

2. “Pro” Purchases and Subscriptions

The App offers a “Pro” version that removes advertisements and unlocks premium features.

• Billing Provider: All “Pro” purchases are handled via the Google Play Store billing system. We do not store your credit card information.
• Subscription Terms: If you opt for a subscription, it will renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Management: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Google Play Subscription Center.
• Refunds: Refund policies are governed by Google Play. We are unable to provide direct refunds for transactions initiated through the store.

3. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for the backup of your own data. Because Trip Timer stores your trip details and photos locally, they will be permanently lost if you uninstall the App or clear your device data. We recommend maintaining independent copies of any vacation photos used in the App.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” MINTZI LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE COUNTDOWN WILL BE ACCURATE TO THE SECOND AT ALL TIMES.

5. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL MINTZI LLC, ITS MEMBERS, OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR DATA) ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE “PRO” UPGRADE, OR $50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

6. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any legal action arising from your use of the App will be settled in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of changes by updating the App or posting the new terms online. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any changes.
