Privacy Policy

App: Chronos · Last updated: 28 July 2026

In short: Chronos has no accounts, no servers, no analytics and no ads. Your data stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud account. We have no access to it.

1. Who is responsible

Data controller: Christos Dimakis, Peristeri, Attica, Greece.
Contact: chronos@dimakis.app

2. We collect nothing

The app has no backend. You do not create an account, you do not provide an email address, and there is no analytics, crash reporting or advertising SDK embedded. We do not track you across apps or websites and we do not use the IDFA.

3. Data that stays on your device

The following is stored locally and never leaves your device, unless you enable iCloud sync (see section 5):

CategoryWhat it isWhy
Calendar and RemindersYour own events and tasks, via Apple's EventKitSo the app can display and edit them
ContactsNames and birth datesBirthdays and name days in the calendar
MedicationNames, dosages, times, intake historyReminders and adherence tracking
TrackingCar, home maintenance, medical exams, subscriptions, loansRenewal and expiry reminders
CountdownTitles, dates, photos you pickCountdown cards
SettingsDisplay preferences, favourite weather locations, time zonesApp behaviour
Health data. Medication and intake history are health data, a special category under GDPR Article 9. They remain exclusively on your device and in your own iCloud account. They are never transmitted anywhere, to anyone. The app does not read from or write to Apple Health (HealthKit).

4. Permissions the app requests

Every permission can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.

5. iCloud sync

If you enable "iCloud Sync", your Countdown and Tracking data, along with your settings, are stored in the private CloudKit database of your own Apple account. That is between you and Apple. We have neither access nor visibility. Apple's Privacy Policy applies.

6. What leaves the device, and where it goes

The app contacts the services below. None of them receives your name, email, device identifier, calendar content, contacts or medication data.

ServiceWhat is sentPurpose
Open-Meteo, MET Norway, Apple WeatherKit, weather.govGeographic coordinates (rounded)Weather forecast

GitHub (raw)Nothing, a plain file downloadUpdated medicine list and source configuration

Services that require it (MET Norway, Nominatim, Wikipedia) receive an application identifier together with our contact address, as their terms of use require.

One source only, the on-duty system of the 7th Health Region of Crete, is available solely over an unencrypted connection (HTTP). No personal data is sent to it, only a date.

7. Retention

For as long as you want. There is no automatic deletion. You can delete individual records, the whole history of one medication, or everything older than a number of years you choose, from within the app. Uninstalling removes local data. iCloud data is deleted from iOS Settings.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Since we hold none of your data, these rights are exercised directly on your device and in your iCloud account. For anything else, write to us. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.

9. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them. Since we collect no data at all, no such risk arises.

10. Changes

If anything material changes, the date at the top will be updated and it will be noted in the release notes. This policy is always available inside the app, under Help.
