Clocked — Privacy Policy

Published by ZIEHRO (DriftWest). Last updated: 10 November 2026.

The short version

Clocked keeps your projects, clients, hours and invoice details on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in and we run no server for the app. The only data that leaves the app on its own is what Google AdMob uses to show the banner ad on the Week and Log tabs. Anything else leaves your phone only when you export or back it up yourself.

What the app stores, on your phone only

None of this is sent to us, to Google or to anyone else. We can't see it.

Exports, invoices and backups

Timesheet CSVs, summary CSVs, invoice PDFs and backup files are made on your phone when you ask for them. You choose where they go: share them through your phone's share sheet (email, Drive, messages and so on) or save them to the phone. Once you send a file to another app or person, that app's or person's own privacy terms apply. Restoring a backup reads only the file you pick.

Notifications

While a clock is running, Clocked can show a notification with the time and a Stop button. Android asks you for notification permission first; saying no only hides that notification. After your phone restarts, Clocked puts the notification back if a clock was still running. Nothing is sent from a server.

Advertising

The Week and Log tabs show a banner ad through Google AdMob. Ads never show over the running clock or on the export screen. Google may collect device identifiers, including the advertising ID, along with IP address, ad interaction data and diagnostics, to serve and measure ads. AdMob never receives your projects, clients, hours, notes or invoices. See how Google uses data from partner apps. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's settings.

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form before any ad loads. You can change your answer at any time with Ad privacy choices in the app menu.

Android backup

If Android backup is on for your device, your projects, entries and settings may be included in your own Google backup, which you control from your Google account. We can't see it.

Deleting your data

Tap any entry in the Log tab to edit or delete it, or use Settings → Delete everything to erase every project and entry on the phone. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in Android settings does the same. Files you exported or shared stay wherever you put them.

Children's privacy

Clocked is a work tool for adults and is not directed at children under 13.

Your rights (EU, UK and elsewhere)

Clocked is made by ZIEHRO, an independent developer in Strathmore, Alberta, Canada, who is responsible for your data (the "controller" under EU and UK law).

Everything you put in the app stays on your phone, so we hold nothing about you. Ads come from Google, which may process ad data in the United States or other countries under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Wherever you live, you can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, ask for it in a portable form, and object to how we use it. In the EU, EEA and UK the GDPR gives you these rights, and you can also complain to your local data protection authority. Email ziehro@gmail.com and we'll reply within 30 days.
