Who we are
TempoGo ("the app") is developed and published by BZOTech ("we", "us"). If you have any question about this policy or your data, contact us at [email protected].
Data stored on your device
The following data is created by you and stored only on your device. We do not receive it:
- Your custom routines, favorites and pinned workouts
- Your workout history and session summaries
- App settings such as theme, accent color, language, sounds, voice coach and accessibility options
- Progress of an interrupted workout, so you can resume it
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage, permanently deletes this data. It only leaves your device if you use the optional Google Drive backup described below.
Data collected automatically
To keep the app free and reliable, the app uses the following third-party services, which collect limited data automatically:
| Service | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Appodeal and its ad partners (e.g. BidMachine) | Advertising ID, approximate location derived from IP address, device information, ad impressions and clicks | Showing non-personalized ads, measuring ad delivery, fraud prevention |
| Google Firebase Analytics | App instance ID and a small set of usage events (for example, a workout was started or completed, its duration, number of rounds and routine type). No free text you type is included. | Understanding which features are used so we can improve the app |
| Google Firebase Crashlytics | Crash logs and diagnostic information (device model, OS version, app version, stack traces) | Finding and fixing crashes |
| Google Firebase Remote Config and App Check | App instance ID, device integrity token | Turning features on or off without an update, protecting our services from abuse |
This data is not linked to your identity, and all of it is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
Advertising
TempoGo is free and supported by ads delivered through Appodeal. All ads in TempoGo are non-personalized: they are not selected based on a profile of your interests. Ad partners still receive the advertising ID and an approximate location to deliver ads, measure them and prevent fraud.
Ads are never shown on the active timer, the pause screen, onboarding or while the AI timer builder is waiting for your confirmation. They are clearly labelled.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in your device settings (Android: Settings › Privacy › Ads; iOS: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking). TempoGo does not use App Tracking Transparency tracking on iOS.
Where offered, the in-app purchase Remove Ads turns off all ads and stops the advertising SDK from starting.
Optional features
Voice input
When you tap the microphone in the AI tab, the app uses your device's built-in speech recognition (provided by Google on Android and by Apple on iOS) to turn your speech into text. Depending on your device, that provider may process the audio on its servers under its own privacy policy. TempoGo does not store or send your audio, and the recognized text is processed on your device. The microphone permission is only requested when you tap the microphone.
Cloud AI timer builder
If the app cannot understand a request on your device, it can ask a cloud AI model (Google Gemini, via Firebase) for help. This only happens after you allow it, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings. When used, the text you typed and the current timer settings are sent to Google to generate a timer. No audio is sent. Google processes this content on our behalf; depending on the service tier, Google may use submitted content to improve its products, so please do not include personal information in your requests.
Google Drive backup
Where available, you can sign in with your Google account to back up and restore your workouts. The backup file (your routines, workout history and settings) is stored in a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive, using the limited drive.appdata permission. The data goes directly from your device to your Drive: we never receive a copy, and your Google email address is only shown on your device. You can delete the backup and disconnect at any time with Delete backup & disconnect in the app, or remove the app's data from your Google Drive settings or at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Alarms
If you ask the AI tab to set an alarm or timer, TempoGo hands the time over to your device's Clock app. TempoGo does not store or send it.
Device permissions
| Permission | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Notifications | To deliver interval cues while your screen is locked during an active workout |
| Exact alarms (Android) | To fire each work and rest cue at the exact second during an active workout |
| Microphone | Only for voice input in the AI tab, requested when you tap the microphone |
| Vibration | To vibrate at interval changes |
| Internet and network state | For ads, crash reports, optional cloud features and the offline indicator |
| Advertising ID (Android) | Used by the advertising SDK, as described above |
TempoGo does not access your contacts, photos, files, calendar or precise location.
Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We do not receive your payment card details. The app only checks with the store whether you own the purchase.
Retention and security
Data on your device is kept until you delete it or uninstall the app. Data collected by third-party services is kept according to the retention settings of those services and then deleted or anonymized. All data sent by the app is encrypted in transit.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing and to data portability. Because TempoGo has no accounts, most data is never linked to you, but you can always:
- Delete all local data by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage
- Reset your advertising ID in your device settings
- Turn off the cloud AI builder in Settings
- Delete your Drive backup in the app
- Email us at [email protected] to request deletion of analytics or crash data. Please include your device model and the approximate date you used the app.
See Delete your data for step-by-step instructions. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children
TempoGo is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. They use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, as described in their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app or the services it uses change. We will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. Significant changes will also be announced in the app or the store release notes.
