TAS World Clock

Privacy policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

TAS World Clock is provided by Tempo Apps Studio, a sole trader in Belgium, enterprise number 1043.805.122. For privacy questions or requests, contact info@tempoappsstudio.com.

Local clocks, planning and time records

Your selected cities, labels, groups, office hours, meeting and travel calculations, timers, reminders, stopwatch sessions, widget preferences and settings are stored on your Android device. City and time-zone information is bundled with the app. Selecting a city does not request or track your physical location. The app does not require a Tempo Apps Studio account and includes no advertising, marketing analytics or automatic upload of your records to a TAS server.

Files, backups and calendar sharing

You choose whether to create, open, import, export or share a file through Android. Backups and exports may contain the records and labels you entered. A storage or sharing app you select may upload them to its own service under its own policy. Protect exported files yourself: a backup integrity check detects damage but does not encrypt the file. App-created sharing files are stored in the app cache and shared using temporary Android file permissions. Calendar sharing passes the chosen meeting details to the calendar app you select; TAS World Clock does not read your calendar. Purchase and license rights are excluded from user backups. Restoring records does not reset the trial or grant a license. From version 1.0.3, you can also explicitly enable daily or weekly automatic backups after choosing a shared local folder through Android. The app retains read/write access to that chosen folder and stores checked backup files in its TAS World Clock subfolder; Android determines when the background task runs. These copies remain on your device. To keep a copy outside the device, separately configure a suitable synchronization app with your own cloud account. Installing a cloud app alone is not sufficient. The local-folder route does not perform or confirm that separate synchronization upload; Tempo Apps Studio does not receive these backups.

Optional Google Drive backup from version 1.0.4

You use your own Google account and explicitly authorize World Clock to access the specific Drive files created or used with this app (Google permission: drive.file). If you do not have a Google account, create one yourself and set up Google Drive first. Connecting an account does not enable automatic backup: you separately opt in to daily or weekly copies. Internet access and sufficient space in your Drive are required; Android controls background timing. Other offline app functions do not require a Google account.

The app sends your backup contents, including selected cities, labels, groups, office hours, timers, reminders, stopwatch sessions and settings, directly over HTTPS to your own Google Drive. It reads your account email address and Drive account identifier to display and verify the chosen account. These identifiers and backup status are stored locally, outside user backups. Access tokens are not written to user backup files. Tempo Apps Studio does not store these backup contents on its servers or use Google user data for advertising, sale or AI training. Google's services operate under the Google Privacy Policy. World Clock's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

A successful backup is reported only after the uploaded file has been downloaded and checked. A checksum detects corruption; it is not file encryption. Earlier completed copies are retained. On a replacement phone, install the same app, connect the same Google account, choose a copy and review the restore proposal. Timers and reminders are restored safely without importing active alarms, purchase rights, trial state, account tokens or Android permissions. Restoring pauses automatic Drive backup until you enable it again. Disconnecting stops this app's Drive backup and removes its local account selection; it does not delete cloud copies or revoke the Google account authorization. Delete unwanted copies in Google Drive and manage or revoke the app's access in your Google account. Reconnect and authorize again when needed.

Alarms and widgets

Android schedules timer and reminder notifications locally. These can show the names you entered on the lock screen, depending on your notification settings. Widgets can show your chosen cities and time records on the home screen. Notification and exact-alarm permissions, where applicable, support these functions. You can control permissions, notification visibility and sound in Android. Automatic alarm recovery after restarting depends on Android and manufacturer settings; the app does not require location, contacts or microphone access.

Trial, purchases and licenses

The app stores trial timing, a random installation identifier and activated license information locally. Google Play processes purchases, restoration and optional coffee support. We do not receive payment-card details in the app. Signed purchase receipts and license codes are stored separately to validate access. Gift and temporary tester licenses can be bound to the installation identifier. If you request a license, the identifier and information you choose to send are used to issue and administer it. Trial expiry does not delete your records. Restoring a purchase restores access, not deleted app data.

Google Play and external services

Purchase, restore, update and review functions communicate with Google Play. Google processes information needed to provide these services, including purchase status, app and device information and technical service data, under the Google Privacy Policy. Reviews you choose to submit may be public. Local counters used to limit review prompts are not sent to Tempo Apps Studio. Website, social and email links open services with their own policies. Optional Google Drive backup is described above; it is a recovery copy, not two-way synchronization.

Retention, security and deletion

Records remain on your device until you remove them or clear app data. Uninstalling or clearing data can delete your local records and license state. Android automatic app-data backup remains disabled. This is separate from the optional local backup function available from version 1.0.3. Its completed files in the chosen shared folder remain after normal app removal, until you delete them there. The app does not automatically delete older completed copies. After reinstalling, choose folder access and enable automatic backups again; restoring a file does not restore those permissions. Manage any external cloud copies separately in your chosen service. Exported copies remain in the locations or services you chose until you delete them there. Android app-private storage protects local files from ordinary access by other apps, subject to your device security. We cannot recover local data from a TAS server because we do not receive it.

Support and your rights

If you contact us, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you provide. We use these to respond, provide support or administer requested licenses, based on fulfilling your request, our legitimate interests and applicable legal obligations. Business email providers, including OVHcloud and Google, process correspondence; their services may process data outside the European Economic Area under their own safeguards. We retain correspondence only while needed for the request, active license administration, disputes or legal obligations and review that need when a matter closes. Do not send passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary personal records.

Contact us to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal information we hold, or to object where applicable. You may also complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority or your local supervisory authority. There is no TAS account to delete. The app is not specifically directed at children. Changes to this policy will be published here with an updated date.
