Privacy by design
Until Then was built with a simple principle: your data is your business. The app works entirely offline, and no information of any kind is sent to external servers.
What we collect
The short answer: nothing. No analytics, no crash reports, no user accounts.
- No personal information (name, email, location)
- No usage analytics or crash reports
- No device identifiers or advertising IDs
- No photos beyond what you choose as a background
- No purchase history or payment information
| Data type | Collected? | Stored where? |
|---|---|---|
| Countdown events & dates | Device only | Your iPhone, never our servers |
| Background photos | Device only | Your iPhone, never uploaded |
| Notification preferences | Device only | Managed by iOS on your device |
| Analytics or usage data | Not collected | — |
App permissions
Until Then may request these iOS permissions — only when you use the related feature:
- Notifications — For countdown reminders you configure. Revocable anytime in iOS Settings.
- Photo Library — Only if you set a custom background. The image stays on your device.
Third-party services
Until Then contains no third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking tools. The only external component is Apple's App Store infrastructure.
Children's privacy

GDPR & nDSG rights
Since Until Then collects no personal data, there is nothing held about you to access, correct, or delete. Your rights are fully respected — by design.
