Privacy Policy

App: Benedict Effective Date: March 26, 2026 Last Updated: October 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Benedict (“App”, “we”, “us”, “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data.

Data Controller: Oleksandr Dordiuk, Republic of Poland Contact: alexdordiuk@gmail.com

The short version: Benedict has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Your timer settings and presets stay on your iPhone. The only data that leaves your device is anonymous usage statistics (TelemetryDeck) and anonymous purchase information (RevenueCat).

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Data Stored Only on Your Device

Benedict stores the following information only on your device:

Timer data:

Your last timer setup: doneness level, egg size, and whether the eggs come from the fridge
The end time of a running timer or ice bath, so the countdown survives an app restart
Saved presets (Benedict Pro): the name you give a preset and its timer setup

Settings:

Interface language
Daily reminder (on or off) and its time
Haptics setting
Onboarding completion status

Widgets and Live Activity:

To show the countdown and quick-start buttons on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, the App keeps a copy of the current countdown, your last setup and up to two presets in a shared container on your device (App Group). This copy never leaves your device.

This data is not transmitted to us or to any third party. We cannot see it.

2.2. Anonymous Usage Analytics

We use TelemetryDeck to understand how the App is used and to make it better. TelemetryDeck receives:

App events, for example: onboarding completed; screen opened; timer started, cancelled or finished; ice bath started, skipped or finished; preset saved, applied or deleted; Benedict Pro offer shown or unlocked; tip left; language or daily reminder settings changed
Event details: doneness level, egg size, fridge or room temperature, timer length, whether the completion alert is an alarm or a notification, whether you allowed alarms and notifications, the chosen language and reminder time
Technical data: App version, iOS version, device model, language and region settings
A random, hashed identifier created by the TelemetryDeck SDK, so events from the same installation can be counted together. It is not your name, email, Apple ID or the advertising identifier (IDFA), and it cannot be used to identify you.

We never send the names you give your presets. Analytics data is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising or tracking.

2.3. Purchase Data

For in-app purchases (Benedict Pro and optional tips) we use RevenueCat and the Apple App Store.

RevenueCat receives:

An anonymous customer ID generated by the App
Which products you bought, when, and the App Store transaction details
Your App Store country and currency
Technical data needed to process requests, such as your IP address

Apple App Store:

All payments are processed by Apple
We do not receive your name, Apple ID, email or payment details (card number, CVV, etc.)

2.4. When You Contact Us

If you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use them only to reply to you.

2.5. What We Do Not Collect

No account, name, email or phone number (unless you email us)
No location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone access
No advertising identifier (IDFA) and no tracking across other apps or websites

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

Provide App functionality: run timers, alarms, notifications and the daily reminder, keep your presets and settings, show widgets and the Live Activity
Process purchases: unlock Benedict Pro, restore it on a new device, and process tips
Improve the App: find bugs and see which features are used, based on anonymous statistics
Answer your questions: reply to support emails

We do not sell or share your data for advertising.

The App may ask for these permissions. All of them are optional, and you can change them at any time in iOS Settings:

Alarms (iOS 26 and later): to ring when your egg is ready, even in silent mode
