Countdown ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service:

• Device Identifier: A randomly generated unique ID stored on your device to identify your account. This is not linked to your personal identity.
• Event Data: The countdown events you create, including titles, dates, icons, and colors.

• To sync your events across devices
• To enable sharing countdowns with others

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on our servers. We use industry-standard encryption for data transmission. Event data is stored locally on your device and synced to our cloud servers for backup and sharing features.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only:

• When you explicitly share a countdown with others via share codes
