At a Glance

Ritsu is a Pomodoro timer, focus, task, and productivity app.
Your tasks, timer settings, selected theme/audio/layout, language choice, local statistics, achievements, and timer recovery state are stored locally on your device.
We do not operate a task-sync or productivity-data server, and we do not sell your task names, focus history, or local app data.
The app uses third-party services for app distribution, purchases, ads, analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration, and push notification delivery. Those services may process app, device, usage, purchase, advertising, notification, and diagnostic data as described below.

Information Processed on Your Device

Tasks and task pages

If you create tasks or task pages in Ritsu, the app stores task names, task page names, completion status, creation dates, completion dates, and related task organization data locally on your device.

We do not operate a task-sync server and we do not receive your task names or task page names unless you choose to send them to us, for example in a support request.

Timer sessions, focus statistics, and achievements

Ritsu stores local timer and productivity data on your device, including completed Pomodoro counts, total focus time, daily statistics, lifetime statistics, achievement unlock state, active timer recovery data, and related timer state.

This data is used to run the timer, recover active sessions, show statistics, show achievements, and keep the app working between launches.

Preferences and app state

Ritsu stores app preferences locally on your device, including focus duration, break duration, interval count, selected preset, timer direction, vibration setting, selected background/theme, selected audio, low power mode, countdown setting, layout choice, language choice, onboarding or setup state, paywall state, and similar settings.

Permissions

Ritsu may request permissions only when they are needed for app features:

Notifications: to alert you when focus or break sessions end, and to show timer-related notifications.
Vibration: to provide haptic or vibration feedback for timer events where supported.
Exact alarms or scheduled alarms on Android: to help timer alerts fire at the expected time.
Wake lock, foreground service, boot completed, battery optimization, and autostart-related permissions or settings on Android: to help long-running timers continue, recover, or notify you reliably while the app is in the background or after device/app restarts.
App tracking transparency on iOS, where requested: to support personalized advertising choices where applicable.

You can change app permissions in your device settings at any time. If you deny a permission, the related timer, notification, or background behavior may be unavailable or less reliable.

Third-Party Services and Data Collection

Ritsu integrates third-party SDKs and platform services. These services are governed by their own privacy policies and may process data independently from us.

Google Firebase

Ritsu uses Firebase services such as Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Remote Config, and Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Firebase may process information such as app opens, sessions, feature interactions, in-app purchase events, device model, operating system, approximate geography, app version, installation identifiers, crash logs, performance data, diagnostics, Firebase installation IDs, session IDs, and push notification registration tokens.

We use Firebase to understand app reliability and usage, diagnose crashes, configure app behavior, and deliver or support notifications. We do not send your task names or local focus notes to Firebase as custom content.

Firebase privacy information is available at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy and Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google AdMob

Ritsu may show ads using Google AdMob, including banner, interstitial, app open, native, and rewarded ads.

Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share data such as IP address, ad and app interactions, diagnostic information, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and related account/device identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your region, consent choices, device settings, and Google settings.

We do not send your task names, task page names, or local focus history to AdMob for ad targeting.

Google Mobile Ads data disclosure and Google advertising privacy information is available at https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

RevenueCat and app stores

Ritsu uses RevenueCat and the applicable app store, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store, to manage purchases, subscriptions, trials, lifetime purchases, purchase restoration, and premium entitlement status.

RevenueCat and app stores may process data such as app user identifiers, purchase tokens, transaction identifiers, product identifiers, entitlement status, subscription status, purchase dates, renewal status, refund status, and device/platform information. We do not receive your full payment card details.

RevenueCat privacy information is available at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy. Google Play and Apple App Store purchases are also governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Operating system services

Ritsu may use device-level services such as notification systems, foreground services, alarm APIs, vibration APIs, battery optimization settings, autostart settings, app review prompts, sharing sheets, browser/email links, and app store purchase flows.

How We Use Information

We use information for these purposes:

Provide Pomodoro timer, break timer, task, statistics, achievement, theme, sound, and layout features.
Save local preferences, tasks, task pages, app state, and timer recovery data.
Send or schedule timer-related notifications where supported and allowed.
Unlock, verify, restore, and protect premium purchases.

Support Requests

If you contact us for support, we may receive the email address you use, your message, any attachments you choose to send, and diagnostic information you choose to include. Do not send private task names, schedules, or other sensitive information unless they are necessary for your support request.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your task names, task pages, local focus history, or local app data.

We may share or make information available to:

Service providers that operate app functionality, analytics, crash reporting, ads, remote configuration, push notifications, and purchases.
App stores and platform providers for distribution, billing, subscription management, refund handling, abuse prevention, and compliance.
Services or destinations you choose when using operating system sharing, browser, email, or app store actions.
Authorities or other parties if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, security, or platform integrity.

Data Retention and Deletion

Tasks, task pages, local statistics, achievements, timer recovery data, and preferences are stored locally on your device. You can delete tasks where the app provides deletion controls, clear app data through device settings where available, or uninstall the app to remove app-managed local data from the device.

Third-party services retain analytics, crash, advertising, notification, and purchase data according to their own retention policies. Some purchase records may need to be retained by app stores, RevenueCat, or us for entitlement, tax, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal reasons.

Children

Ritsu is not directed to children under 13 or under the minimum age required by applicable law to use apps without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate for an on-device app. Data transmitted to third-party services is handled through their SDKs and transport security practices. No app, device, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting access to your device and local app data.

International Processing

The app may be used globally. Third-party services such as Google, Firebase, AdMob, RevenueCat, Google Play, and Apple may process information in countries other than where you live, according to their own policies and legal frameworks.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. If the changes are material, we may provide additional notice where required.
