Privacy Policy for Pulse

Last updated: November 3, 2025

The Short Version:

Pulse stores your tasks and timer settings locally on your device. We don't collect, store, or sell your personal data. If you connect Spotify, we only access what's needed to control playback - we don't store your listening history.

What Data We Collect

Stored Locally on Your Device:

Your task lists and completion status
Timer preferences (work/break durations)
App settings and preferences

This data never leaves your device. We can't see it, access it, or share it.

Spotify Integration (Optional):

When you connect Spotify, we:

Request permission to control playback (play/pause, volume)
Access your current playback state
Do NOT store your listening history, playlists, or personal Spotify data
Only communicate directly between your device and Spotify's servers

What We Don't Collect:

No analytics or tracking
No email addresses or account creation
No location data
No usage statistics
No advertising identifiers

Third-Party Services

Spotify: If you choose to connect Spotify, your use of Spotify is governed by Spotify's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage and Security

All app data is stored locally on your device using standard secure storage mechanisms. We do not operate servers that store your information.

Children's Privacy

Pulse does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app does not require any personal information to use.
