Last Updated: April 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Timily ("Timily," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our websites, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Timily is designed as a parent-directed service. Parents or legal guardians use Timily to set rules and manage a family member's device experience.
By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Key Privacy Principles
- No advertising: Timily does not display third-party advertisements in the Services.
- No data selling: Timily does not sell personal information.
- No data broker sharing: Timily does not share personal information with data brokers.
- Purpose-limited use: Information is used only to provide, secure, and improve the Services.
2. Who Uses Timily
Parents / Guardians ("Parents") create and manage accounts, configure rules, and control settings.
Family Device Users use a companion experience on devices configured and managed by the Parent.
Any information associated with a family device user is processed under the Parent's direction and solely for providing the Services.
Target Audience & COPPA Compliance: Timily is a utility tool designed for use by Parents and legal guardians to manage their family's devices. It is not an entertainment app intended for use by children.
While our primary users are Parents, the Services involve the processing of data from devices used by children under 13. We conduct this collection solely to fulfill the Parent's request to manage that device. We rely on the Parent's subscription and configuration as verifiable parental consent to process this data solely for providing the Service.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways: (A) information you provide, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information processed through device permissions or system frameworks you enable.
A. Information You Provide (Primarily Parents)
Account and profile information:
- Email address and basic account identifiers
- Authentication data (such as password hash or token-based authentication)
- Optional labels or nicknames assigned to devices or family members
Configuration data:
- Rules, schedules, limits, and settings created by Parents (for example, app limits, time windows, focus routines, and reward/task configuration)
Support communications:
- Information you provide when contacting support (such as messages, screenshots, or device details you choose to share)
B. Information Collected Automatically from Managed Devices
To enable the parental control features you have requested, we collect data from the devices you choose to manage ("Family Devices"). This collection occurs only after you, as the Parent, have installed the companion app and granted the necessary permissions. This includes:
- Device model, operating system version, app version, language, and time zone
- IP address and approximate location derived from IP (generally city or region level), used for security and service operation
- Diagnostic and performance data (such as crash logs and error codes)
Usage and activity information - To operate Timily and synchronize features across Parent and family devices, we may process:
- Feature usage events (for example, rule changes, timer activity, or configuration updates)
- Rule status and enforcement signals (for example, whether a limit is active or a rule was triggered)
- App or category identifiers relevant to rules configured by the Parent
We aim to keep data collection proportionate and aligned with providing, securing, and improving the Services.
C. Subscription and Payment Information
Timily is a paid subscription service. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or another authorized platform.
We do not receive or store full payment card numbers. We typically receive limited information such as:
- Subscription status (active or expired)
- Transaction or receipt identifiers needed to verify entitlement
- Purchase dates and related metadata
4. Apple Screen Time / Family Controls Disclosure
Timily uses Apple's Family Controls and Screen Time-related frameworks (when enabled) to provide core functionality such as managing access, applying limits, and supporting focus routines.
- No content access: Timily is not designed to read the contents of communications such as messages, emails, or social content.
- Purpose: These frameworks are used only to deliver parent-directed features requested and configured by the Parent.
- No advertising use: Data accessed through these frameworks is not sold and is not used for behavioral advertising.
5. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and operate the Services (account creation, syncing settings, enforcing rules, enabling features)
- Maintain safety and security (prevent fraud, detect abuse, protect account integrity)
- Troubleshoot and improve reliability (diagnostics, crash reports, performance monitoring)
- Provide customer support and respond to requests
- Manage subscriptions and verify access to paid features
- Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms
Timily does not use personal information to deliver third-party targeted advertising within the Services.
6. How We Share Information
We share information only as necessary to operate the Services or comply with legal obligations.
Service Providers: We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Services (such as cloud hosting, databases, crash reporting, or customer support tools). These providers process information on our behalf and are expected to use it only for providing services to Timily.
Platform Providers: We exchange certain information with platform providers (such as Apple) as required to process subscriptions and validate entitlements.
Legal and Safety: We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to: comply with law or legal process; protect the rights, safety, or security of Timily, our users, or others; or prevent fraud or abuse.
Business Transfers: If Timily is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure continued protection of information.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.
When you delete your account, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify your information, subject to legal and operational requirements.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
9. Your Choices and Controls
Account settings: Parents may update certain account settings within the Services.
Account deletion: You can delete your account and associated data directly within the App settings at any time.
Device permissions: You can change device permissions and system settings at any time through your device.
Notifications: You may control push notifications through device settings.
Management of Family Device Data: As the account holder, the Parent retains full control over the data collected from Family Devices. You may review, delete, or stop the collection of data from a Family Device at any time by removing that device from your account settings or by contacting support@timily.app.
10. U.S. State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable U.S. state privacy laws to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below. We may take reasonable steps to verify your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable rights.
Because Timily does not sell personal information, there is no "opt-out of sale" mechanism.
Do Not Track Signals: We do not currently respond to web browser "Do Not Track" signals or similar mechanisms, as there is no standardized industry convention.
11. For Users in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom
If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom ("UK"), the following additional terms apply to your use of the Services, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR.

Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data on the following legal bases:

Parents may exercise all data rights on behalf of their children, including access, correction, deletion, and data portability. Parents may withdraw consent at any time by removing the managed device from their account or by contacting us.

International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA/UK, including Hong Kong and the United States, where our servers and service providers are located.
