Privacy Policy
This policy covers Tally for iPhone, developed by Alex Kitcoff.
Local records and settings
Tally stores a counter name, tracking choice, record identifiers, timestamps, recording sources, count corrections, recorded Open/Closed states and time-interval bounds on your device. It also keeps local timing checkpoints and recent Shortcuts delivery receipts to support restart recovery and delivery checks. These records are not sent to the developer or a server.
The app has no accounts, advertising SDKs, in-app analytics or app-operated cloud sync. Records and preferences are separate on each device.
Shortcuts and device observations
Increase Count records a count. Record Open and Record Close record device state and, where applicable, a fold count. Automations and permissions are managed in Apple’s Shortcuts app. Apple’s services have their own terms and privacy practices.
On supported iPhone Duo hardware/software, Tally can observe hinge changes while the app is in use to check whether matching actions arrive. This diagnostic does not create fold records or transmit observations. The app uses local elapsed-time information to preserve known intervals across restart and leaves uncertain gaps untracked.
Exports and device backups
When you export JSON or CSV, you choose where the file goes through the system share sheet. Exports contain record IDs, timestamps, sources, count changes, state kinds and applicable interval ends. Names, tracking choices, runtime checkpoints and local delivery receipts are not included. Destination apps and services handle files you save or share.
Tally does not sync records through iCloud. Apple device backups may include local app data depending on your device and backup settings; those services and exported copies are managed separately from Tally.
Retention and deletion
Delete individual entries in All records or use Reset Data to clear history, time and receipt metadata on this device. Reset keeps the counter name and tracking choice and does not disable external automations. Deleting Tally removes its local app data; offloading may preserve documents. Manage exported copies and device backups separately. The developer has no server-side copy of your history to delete.
Support
If you email support, the address and information you include are used to respond and investigate. Share records only if you choose. Request deletion of support correspondence at help@alexkitcoff.com.
This website
This website uses Google Analytics, as do other pages on alexkitcoff.com. Hosting and Google Analytics may process technical and website usage information. See Google’s Privacy Policy. The Tally app does not contain this website’s analytics or send counter history to it. Opening an iCloud shortcut preview or support page connects to that website separately from offline recording.
If these practices change, this policy and relevant app disclosures will be updated.
