Hourcut — Privacy Policy

Last updated August 25, 2026

Effective date: August 25, 2026  ·  App: Hourcut  ·  Developer: Gun Yeup Kim  ·  Contact: support@hourcut.com

1. Summary — two ways to use Hourcut

Hourcut is a workout-counting app. You can use it two ways:

Signing in is always optional. We show no ads, we do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.

2. Information we collect

If you use Hourcut as a guest: we collect no personal information — no name, no email, no account. The only exception is anonymous crash diagnostics (Section 5).

If you sign in (Apple or Google): we collect and store, to provide backup and sync:

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, health-app data, phone number, or payment information. We do not use advertising identifiers.

3. How we use your information

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or sale, and we make no automated decisions producing legal effects about you.

4. Who we share it with (service providers)

We do not sell your personal information and do not share it for advertising. We use a few service providers ("processors") who handle data on our behalf, under contract, only to run the service:

ProviderWhat they doDataWhere
Supabase, Inc.Cloud database & authentication storing your account and backed-up workout dataEmail, name, provider, workout contentUnited States (us-east-2)
Apple (Sign in with Apple)Authenticates you and, with your permission, shares name & emailName, emailPer Apple
Google (Sign in with Google)Authenticates you and, with your permission, shares name & emailName, emailPer Google
SentryAnonymous crash & error diagnostics (Section 5)Technical diagnostics onlyUnited States

We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the service.

5. Crash and error diagnostics (Sentry)

To keep the app stable, Hourcut uses Sentry to collect anonymous diagnostic data when the app crashes or errors — limited to technical information (error/stack trace, app version, device model, OS version). It does not include your name, email, or any workout content. We use it only to fix bugs — never for advertising, profiling, or sale. Crash reporting can be turned off in Settings.

6. International data transfers

Our cloud provider (Supabase) stores account and backup data on servers in the United States. If you use Hourcut from Korea, the EEA, the UK, or elsewhere, your information is transferred to and stored in the United States. We rely on our providers' data-processing agreements and, where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses. Korea-specific transfer details are in the Korean section (개인정보의 국외 이전).

7. Data retention and deletion

8. Deleting your account

You can delete your account in the app any time: Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and all workout data backed up to our servers; where you signed in with Apple, it revokes the Sign in with Apple token. It does not by itself erase the copy on your current device — use "Erase all data" for that. If you already uninstalled the app, request deletion by emailing support@hourcut.com from your account's address.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information. Because signing in is optional and your workout data is yours to export and erase directly, most rights are satisfied in the app: access/export, correct, delete (delete your account), and withdraw consent (stop using account features and delete your account).

California (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or "share" your personal information as defined by California law, so no "Do Not Sell or Share" action is needed.

EEA / UK (GDPR): our legal bases are performance of a contract (the backup/sync you sign up for), consent (creating an account), and legitimate interests (security and diagnostics). You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Korea (PIPA): see the Korean section for 열람·정정·삭제·처리정지 rights and 권익침해 구제 channels. To exercise any right, contact support@hourcut.com.

10. Children's privacy

Hourcut is a general fitness utility and is not directed to children. You must be at least 14 years old to create an account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age; if we learn we have, we will delete it.

11. Device permissions

Notifications: Hourcut asks permission to send local notifications to nudge you when your rest period ends. These are generated and scheduled entirely on your device; we use no server push. You can deny or revoke this any time in device settings; the app still works without it.

12. Changes to this policy

If we make a material change — a new type of data collection, a new feature that transmits data, or advertising — we will update this policy, show the change in the app before the feature is enabled, and request any required consent again (a new consent version). Minor clarifications take effect when posted.
