Privacy Policy

Rotaro (the “App”)
Developer: Martin Poláček
Effective date: 30 August 2026

Summary

Your shift pattern, the shift types you create and any days you change by hand never leave your device. The App has no account, no sign-up and no server of its own. The only data that leaves your device is what the advertising system needs in order to show ads, and you are asked about that on first launch.

What you type into the App

The shift names, times, colours, your rotation and your manual day changes are stored only on your device, in a container shared with the Rotaro widget so that it can show your next shift on the Lock Screen. They are included in your own device backups if you use them. They are never uploaded anywhere and the developer has no access to them. Deleting the App deletes all of it.

Shift reminders

If you turn reminders on, they are scheduled locally by your device from the rotation stored on it. Nothing is sent to a server and the developer never learns when you work.

Advertising

The free version of the App shows ads provided by Google AdMob. To show them, Google may process your device’s advertising identifier, an approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address, and information about how ads performed.

On first launch the App asks, through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether you allow tracking:

You can change this decision at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your device.

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a Google consent form is shown before the tracking prompt, where you can manage consent for advertising partners individually. You can reopen that form later from the same consent link Google provides.

Data collected through advertising

What the advertising provider may process. The App itself collects nothing:

DataPurposeLinked to youUsed for tracking
Device ID (advertising identifier)Third-party advertisingNoYes, only if you allow tracking
Coarse locationAdvertising, analyticsNoNo
Product interactionAdvertisingNoNo
Advertising dataAnalyticsNoNo
Crash dataAnalyticsNoNo
Performance dataAnalyticsNoNo

The developer does not sell your data and does not share it with anyone beyond the advertising provider named above.

Purchases

The optional one-time purchase removes the ads. Every feature of the App is available without it. It is processed entirely by Apple; the developer never sees or receives any payment details. Once you buy it, no ads are requested and no advertising data is collected at all.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Your rights (GDPR)

The developer holds no personal data about you, so there is nothing on our side to access, correct or erase — deleting the App removes everything it stored. For data processed by Google as the advertising provider, see Google’s Privacy Policy, or withdraw consent using the consent form described above. You may also contact us at the address below.
