Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how The Boring App ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Android application, which lets you time how long you can put your phone down and compare that time against other users.
1. Information We Collect
The Boring App is designed to need as little from you as possible. Depending on how you use it, we may collect:
- Session data: the duration of each session you start, and the timestamp it occurred, so we can show your personal bests and rankings.
- Account information (optional): if you choose to create a profile to appear on leaderboards, we store a username and, if you sign in with Google, your basic profile info (name, email).
- Device information: basic technical data (device model, OS version, app version) used only for debugging and compatibility.
You do not need an account to start a session — anonymous sessions are never linked to an identity.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly to:
- Track your session times and show your personal history
- Calculate and display global and friends leaderboards
- Diagnose crashes and improve app stability
We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell it.
3. Data Storage & Security
Session and account data is stored securely and is accessible only to you after authentication (where an account exists). No method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4. Third-Party Services
The app may use trusted third-party services solely for core functionality, such as:
- Google Sign-In — for optional authentication
- Cloud infrastructure providers — for storing session and leaderboard data
These services may process information as governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties. Leaderboard rankings show only your chosen username and session time — never your email or other private details.
6. Your Control & Account Deletion
You can stop using the app at any time, and you can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. See our Account Deletion page for instructions.
7. Children's Privacy
The Boring App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
