Full Policy

01 Who we are

timml is developed and published by Plaintiffy (sole developer, Germany). You can reach us at privacy​[at]​plaintiffy​[dot]​com.

02 What data we collect

timml is designed to collect as little data as possible. In most cases, that's none at all.

timml does not collect:

  • Audio recordings — microphone input is processed in real time on your device and immediately discarded
  • Personal information — no name, email, or account is required to use the app
  • Location data
  • Usage analytics or behavioral tracking
  • Crash reports sent to us directly

The only data associated with your use of timml is:

  • App preferences stored locally on your device (theme, saved patterns) via iOS UserDefaults
  • Subscription status managed by Apple and RevenueCat (see section 04)

03 Microphone access

timml requires microphone access to detect the tempo and style of your music. This is the core function of the app.

  • Audio is analyzed on-device using Apple's AVFoundation and Accelerate frameworks
  • No audio is ever transmitted to our servers or any third party
  • No recordings are made or stored at any point
  • You can revoke microphone access at any time in Settings → timml → Microphone

04 Subscriptions & payments

timml Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status.

  • We never see or store your payment information
  • RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID to verify subscription status — no personal data
  • Apple's privacy policy governs all payment processing: apple.com/legal/privacy
  • RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

05 Third-party services

timml uses the following third-party services:

  • RevenueCat — subscription management. Receives: anonymous app user ID, subscription state. Does not receive: audio, personal information.
  • Apple App Store — app distribution and payment processing.
  • Apple CloudKit — if you save patterns, they may be stored in your personal iCloud account. This data is encrypted and only accessible to you.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, advertising networks, or any other tracking services.

06 Children's privacy

timml does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. The app is rated 4+ because it contains no objectionable content.

07 Data retention

Since we collect no personal data, there is nothing to retain or delete. App preferences stored on your device are removed when you uninstall the app.

08 Your rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, and delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we hold no personal data, there is nothing to access or delete. For questions, contact us at privacy​[at]​plaintiffy​[dot]​com.
