Privacy – Hourio
Last updated:
This page has two parts: the app, and this website. They are separate, and the answers differ.
The app
The Hourio app collects no data. Its App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected, and that is literal: there is no account to create, no server of ours that your data reaches and no analytics or tracking inside the app.
- Where your data is. Your shifts, breaks, jobs and pay settings are stored on your iPhone. If iCloud is on, they are also stored in your private iCloud database through CloudKit. That database belongs to your Apple account. We cannot open it, read it or see that it exists.
- If iCloud is off. Your data stays on this device only. The app shows a banner so you know it is not synced.
- Purchases. Apple handles every purchase, renewal, cancellation and refund through the App Store. We never see your card or payment details. The app asks Apple, on your device, which purchases you own, so that Pro works and can be restored.
- Exports. CSV and PDF files are made on your iPhone and go wherever you send them with the share sheet. We do not receive them.
Because nothing leaves your device for us, there is nothing for us to sell, share or lose. Where your data is kept is listed in the support answers, along with what to do if iCloud is off.
This website
This website is separate from the app, and it counts visits.
- Visit statistics. We use Vercel Web Analytics. It gives aggregated, anonymous page-view counts and sets no cookies, so the site shows no consent banner. We use it to see which pages are read.
- Hosting logs. The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel keeps server logs of requests, such as the time, the page requested and technical details of the connection, for security and operation. We do not use these logs to identify you.
- No other trackers. There are no advertising scripts, no forms and no cookies of ours.
If you follow a link to the App Store, you leave this website, and Apple’s own privacy policy applies there.
The app asks for no email address and this website collects none. If you write to hello@hourioapp.com, we see your address and what you wrote. We use the address only to reply.
