Privacy Policy
EarnTick · last updated 3 October 2026
EarnTick collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising. It makes no network requests at all — everything it knows stays on your phone. The only permission it can ask for is for notifications, and only if you switch on the optional reminder described below.
What the app stores, and where
EarnTick keeps two things in your phone's own app storage, which is private to the app and to your device:
- Your earnings history — the shifts you record: hours, start and end times, the hourly rate applied, any tax percentage, cash and card tips, and the optional note naming where you worked.
- Your settings — your hourly rate, currency, tax preference, theme, and the state of a timer you have running.
That is the whole of it. There is no user ID, no device identifier, no location, no contacts, no photos, and no advertising identifier.
EarnTick asks for one permission, and only if you ask it to: notifications, for the optional reminder that you are still clocked in. The switch is off until you turn it on, and turning it on is the only moment anything is requested. The reminder is scheduled on your phone by your phone — no message is sent from anywhere, nothing about it reaches us or anyone else, and switching it off cancels it. Leave it off and the app never requests a single system permission.
What leaves your phone
Only what you deliberately send, and only where you send it. EarnTick can produce two kinds of file:
- A CSV export of a tax year, for your own records or your accountant.
- A backup file holding your history and settings, so you can move to a new phone or recover from a lost one.
Both are handed to your phone's normal share sheet, and what happens next is entirely your choice — save it to Files, put it in your own cloud drive, email it to yourself. The file never passes through us, because there is no “us” to pass through: EarnTick has no server.
The one thing you can switch on
Reminders, in Settings, start off: a notification if you are still clocked in after a number of hours you choose. Turning it on is the only time the app asks for a permission. The reminder is scheduled on your phone by your phone; no message is sent from anywhere and nothing about it reaches us.
Third parties
EarnTick contains no analytics, crash-reporting, attribution or advertising library, and nothing that profiles you. It never contacts a third party, or anyone else.
Children
EarnTick is a tool for tracking paid work and is not directed at children. Since it collects no personal data from anyone, it collects none from children either.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling EarnTick removes everything it has stored, permanently and immediately. There is nothing held anywhere else, so there is no request to make and nobody to make it to. If you would like to keep a copy of your records first, use Settings → Your data → Save a backup before you uninstall.
Your rights
Rights under the GDPR and similar laws — access, correction, erasure, portability — exist against whoever holds your data. Here that is only you, on your own device. You can read everything the app holds inside the app itself, edit or delete any entry, take a portable copy at any time with the backup and CSV exports, and erase all of it by uninstalling.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date at the top. Since the app collects nothing, any change is likely to be a clarification rather than a change in what happens to your data.
