Ticko Timer

Privacy Policy

By Andrei Karavaichyk, HappyTooth · Reviewed

This policy covers Ticko: Visual Timer for Kids and visualtimer.happytoothapp.com. Ticko is a family countdown app with no accounts, no advertising and no social features. Custom timer names and routine settings stay in the app's local storage.

Who we are

HappyTooth is the publisher of Ticko: Visual Timer for Kids. It is operated by Andrei Karavaichyk in Poland. For privacy questions, contact happy.toothapp@gmail.com.

What stays on your device

Your custom timers, their names, pictures and default durations, selected countdown styles, themes, sound preferences and child-lock settings are stored locally. There is no app account or app-managed cloud save. Device backups, if enabled, are controlled by your device and platform settings.

The app does not need a child’s surname, email address, date of birth, photograph or location to run a countdown. It does not provide chat, friend lists, public profiles or user-generated posts.

What leaves the device

Firebase Analytics records technical usage events, such as starting, pausing or finishing a countdown, using installation-level identifiers and technical information. The app does not send custom timer names or other free text to analytics and does not set a named user account identifier. Advertising-ID collection and advertising-personalisation signals are disabled in the app configuration.

Purchase validation uses RevenueCat and the relevant app store. These services may process transaction records, app-installation identifiers, entitlement information and technical information needed to validate a transaction. Installation identifiers and purchase records can be personal data even when they do not contain a name.

Countdown notifications

Ticko can request notification permission for local timer-completion alerts and ongoing countdown information. Countdown notifications are scheduled on the device. They are not promotional messages sent from a HappyTooth account. You can change permission in your device settings. Platform settings and background restrictions affect whether an alert is delivered.

Advertising

Ticko: Visual Timer for Kids has no advertising SDK, banner ads or rewarded video ads. We do not use the app to build advertising profiles or collect advertising identifiers.

Children and parents

The app is designed for family routines. Analytics events are limited to technical counts, flags and preset categories rather than names or free text entered by children. Parents can use the optional child lock to protect settings and active countdown controls.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to HappyTooth, contact happy.toothapp@gmail.com so we can investigate and handle the request.

Payment details

Where purchases are offered, the storefront processes payment and RevenueCat validates access. HappyTooth does not receive or store your payment-card or bank details. Billing and refund requests follow the policies of the store used for the transaction.

This website

The Visual Timer website has no account, contact form or newsletter. Its hosting provider processes request information, such as IP addresses and requested pages, to deliver and secure the site. The product website does not embed an advertising or website-analytics script. Following a store link takes you to that store’s own service and privacy policy.

Retention and deletion

Local routine data remains until it is removed in the app, its data is cleared, or the app is uninstalled, subject to platform backup behaviour. HappyTooth does not maintain an account-based copy of those routines. Analytics and transaction information follow the relevant provider’s retention settings and obligations.

If you email support, we receive what you choose to include and keep it to answer your request. You can request deletion of support correspondence by emailing happy.toothapp@gmail.com.

Privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or obtain a copy of personal data, and to object to certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, that consent can be withdrawn. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Contact happy.toothapp@gmail.com to make a request. We may need information to identify the relevant record; the app has no named account, so we may be unable to connect a request to an installation without further information. We will explain the result rather than assume that deleting local routines deletes provider-held records.

For processing covered by the GDPR, our purposes include providing requested services, validating transactions and maintaining the app through limited technical analytics. The applicable basis depends on the processing: contract performance, legitimate interests, consent where required, or a legal obligation. We do not sell personal information.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the reviewed date on this page changes. Material changes will also be reflected in relevant app disclosures.
