Privacy

1. Who we are

Uptime is an app made and run by Yung Dice (Dice Entertainment), an independent developer based in Switzerland. We are responsible for the personal data described here.

Questions, requests or complaints about your data: mgmt.yungdice@gmail.com.

This policy covers the Uptime apps for Windows, Android and iPhone and the website uptime.yungdice.com. We handle personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for people in the EU and EEA, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What we collect

Only what the app needs to run. Nothing here is used for advertising.

Account

When you first open Uptime we create an anonymous account with a random ID, so your clock can start straight away. If you add an email address and password, we store the email address. Your password is stored only as a secure hash by our sign-in provider; nobody can read it, including us.

Profile

Your nickname (unique, public), your display name and, if you add one, a profile picture. Pictures are resized on your device to a small square before upload.

Your clock

When your current run started, the last time the app saw a sign of life from you (this is what the 60-day check-in window is measured from), your past runs with their start, end, length and how they ended, and totals such as your best run, time given, time received and rescues.

Friends and time

Who you follow and who follows you, and a record of every transfer of time: who sent it, who received it, how much, when, and whether it was spent reviving a streak.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, a push token for your device from Apple, Google or Microsoft, and when we last sent you a check-in reminder. The token only lets us send that reminder.

Purchases

If you buy the whole-clock upgrade: the Stripe payment reference, amount, currency, date and whether it was refunded. Stripe collects your payment details directly. We pass Stripe your email address so it can send your receipt.

Abuse limits

Counters of how often your account did certain things in a recent period, so nobody can flood the service.

Technical logs

Like every online service, our hosting and database providers keep short-lived server logs (IP address, time, request) for security and troubleshooting.

On your device

The app keeps your sign-in session and a few settings on your device so you stay signed in. The Windows app checks GitHub for updates, which means GitHub sees that request and your IP address.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos library, microphone or camera data, and we do not use analytics or advertising tools. The website uptime.yungdice.com sets no cookies of its own.

3. What other people can see

Uptime is social, so some of your data is public inside the app. Any Uptime user can see your nickname, display name, profile picture, your running clock and when it started, when you were last active, when you joined, your best run, your totals and rescues, and your place on the leaderboards.

When you send someone time, both of you can see the transfer, including who sent it. Your email address, purchases and push tokens are never shown to anyone. Profile pictures are stored at a public web address, so anyone who has that address can open the image.

4. Why we use it

To run Uptime

Your account, clock, friends, transfers, leaderboards and purchases are how the app works. We process this to provide the service you asked for (contract).

To keep it fair and safe

Abuse limits, logs and security checks protect you and other players (our legitimate interest in a working, fair service).

Reminders

Check-in reminders are sent only if you allow notifications (consent). You can turn them off in your device settings at any time; your clock keeps running either way.

Account emails

Confirming your address, signing in and resetting your password. We do not send newsletters or marketing email.

Payments and the law

Processing purchases and refunds, and keeping payment records where accounting law requires it (legal obligation).

5. Who else handles it

We use a small number of service providers. They process data only to provide their service to us. We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.

Supabase

Database, sign-in and profile picture storage.

Stripe

Payments and receipts for the whole-clock upgrade.

Google, Apple, Microsoft

Delivering push notifications to Android, iPhone and Windows devices.

Google (Gmail)

Sending account emails such as confirmations and password resets.

GitHub

Hosting app updates for Windows.

Netlify

Hosting the website uptime.yungdice.com.

App stores

If you install Uptime from the Microsoft Store, Google Play or the App Store, that store handles your download and purchase under its own privacy policy.

Some of these providers process data outside Switzerland, including in the EU and the United States. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards the law recognises, such as the Swiss-US and EU-US Data Privacy Frameworks or the standard contractual clauses the providers offer.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Uptime keeps your past runs on purpose: a reset or a lapse never erases your record, so your history stays until you delete your account.

When your account is deleted, your profile, clock, runs, follows, transfers, push tokens and profile pictures are deleted with it. Server logs expire on their own within a short period. Stripe keeps its own payment records as the law requires.

7. Your rights and deleting your account

You can ask us at any time to:

• tell you what data we hold about you and send you a copy,
• correct data that is wrong,
• delete your account and all data linked to it,
• send your data to you in a portable format,
• stop processing you have objected to, or withdraw a consent you gave.

To delete your account, email mgmt.yungdice@gmail.com from the address on your account, or tell us your nickname if you never added an email. We delete it within 30 days and confirm when it is done. Uninstalling the app alone does not delete your account.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, in the EU and EEA, to the data protection authority where you live.

8. Security

All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). The database only lets each account read and change what it is allowed to, passwords are stored as hashes, and card details never touch our systems. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach ever puts your data at risk, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

9. Children

Uptime is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

If Uptime starts handling data differently, we will update this page and the date at the top. For important changes we will also tell you in the app before they take effect.
