1. Overview

Pomo for Reminders ("the app," "we," "our") is a macOS menu bar application developed and operated as an independent software product. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with your use of the app.

We are committed to your privacy. This policy is designed to be transparent, readable, and complete — not to obscure how your data is handled. The answer is simple: it isn't.

2. Information we collect

Pomo for Reminders collects no personal information of any kind.

Reminders content (task names, dates) Not collected Read locally only. Never transmitted.

Usage analytics or telemetry Not collected No crash reporting, no event tracking.

Location data Not collected The app does not request location access.

3. How the app accesses your Reminders

Pomo for Reminders requests access to your macOS Reminders through the standard Apple EventKit framework. This permission is granted by you via the macOS Privacy & Security system dialog.

Once granted:

You can revoke Reminders access at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders.

4. Local data storage

The app stores minimal preference data locally on your Mac — such as your last selected Reminders list — using macOS standard user defaults. This data:

5. iCloud and Apple services

If you use iCloud to sync your Reminders across devices, that sync is governed entirely by Apple's iCloud service and Apple's Privacy Policy. Pomo for Reminders does not interact with iCloud directly — it reads from the local Reminders database that Apple's operating system manages.

Purchases made through the Mac App Store are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's Terms of Service. We do not receive or process any payment information.

6. Third-party services

Pomo for Reminders does not integrate with, send data to, or rely on any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or data services. There are no third-party SDKs embedded in the application.

No third parties involved

The app contains no advertising SDKs, no analytics frameworks, no tracking pixels, and no third-party code that communicates with external servers.

7. Children's privacy

Pomo for Reminders does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because the app collects no data whatsoever, it is inherently compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations.

8. Data security

Because Pomo for Reminders collects no personal data and makes no network connections, there is no personal data at risk of breach or unauthorized access through our systems. Your Reminders data is protected by Apple's macOS security model, including sandboxing and encryption at rest.

The app is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store and is sandboxed and notarized by Apple, providing an additional layer of security verification.

9. Your rights

Because we do not collect or store any personal data, there is no data for us to access, correct, delete, or export on your behalf. If you uninstall the app, all local preferences are removed from your device.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), California, or another jurisdiction with specific data protection laws, this policy reflects that no data subject rights need to be exercised with us — as we hold no personal data.

10. Changes to this policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, if changes are material, notify users through the Mac App Store release notes or app update notifications.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
