How Furiner handles information: what stays on your device, what we receive, and who else may be involved.

Effective date:

At a glance

  • Furiner does not, and will not, intentionally collect personal information. The only exception is what you choose to send us by email.
  • The habits, timers and spending entries you create are not uploaded to us.
  • iCloud Sync is off unless you turn it on. If you do, your tracking information is stored in your own iCloud account, where we cannot access it.
  • We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.
  • We do not run our own tracking or advertising systems, and we will never add third-party tools that track users.
  • This website’s own code sets no cookies.

This summary is only a convenience. The full policy below is what applies.

1. Who is responsible and how to contact us

Furiner MB (“we”, “us”) provides the Furiner iOS app (the “App”) and this website (the “Website”). This policy explains how information is handled when you use them.

For the personal information that we ourselves receive, as described in this policy, the responsible party is Furiner MB.

You can contact us at info@furiner.eu or furinermail@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect, and what we don’t

What stays on your device

The App works without an account and is designed to keep your tracking information on your device rather than sending it to us. This includes your habits and their settings, counters and completion marks, timer sessions, spending goals, purchases, categories and budgets, your preferences, and basic information the App needs to work, such as the date you started using it and the days on which you opened it.

We do not receive any of this information. It is not uploaded to our servers.

iCloud Sync (optional)

iCloud Sync is off by default. If you turn it on in the App, or choose “Restore from iCloud” when you set up the App, the App uses Apple’s iCloud to sync your goals and their history, timer sessions, purchases, categories and category budgets through your own iCloud account. Your preferences, your spending goal amount and period, the date you started using the App and the days on which you opened it are not synced and stay on your device.

This information is held by Apple in the private part of your iCloud account. It is not sent to us, and we cannot access it. Apple’s own terms and privacy policy apply to it.

What we don’t collect

Furiner does not, and will not, intentionally collect personal information through the App’s own functionality or through the Website, and we do not, and will not, sell it. The only exception is the information you choose to send us by email, described below. You are not asked for your name, email address or any other personal details in order to use the App.

Information you send us

The only personal information we knowingly receive directly is what you choose to send us by email, to info@furiner.eu or furinermail@gmail.com, for example when you ask for support, share feedback or make a business inquiry. This usually includes your email address, your name if it appears on your email, the content of your message, and anything you choose to attach, together with the technical details that email normally carries.

Sending us an email is always your choice.

Exports

If you use the App’s export feature, a file is created on your device and you decide where it goes using the iOS share sheet. We do not receive it unless you send it to us.

Notifications

Reminders and timer notifications are scheduled on your device by the App using iOS.

3. How we use information you send us

We use the information you email us to:

  • respond to your support requests;
  • read and consider your feedback, which may help us improve Furiner; and
  • respond to business inquiries.

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information if we are required to by law.

4. Data storage and retention

On your device. The information the App stores stays on your device until you remove it. You can delete individual items in the App, delete everything with the App’s “Delete All Data” option, or delete the App. If you back up your device, for example with iCloud Backup or to a computer, the backup may include the App’s data. Backups are governed by your own settings and Apple’s terms, and we do not access or control them.

In your iCloud account. If you use iCloud Sync, a copy of the synced information stays in your iCloud account until it is removed. While iCloud Sync is on, deleting items in the App or using “Delete All Data” also removes them from iCloud and from your other devices using iCloud Sync, once they have synced. Turning iCloud Sync off or deleting the App does not remove the copy already in iCloud. To remove it, turn iCloud Sync back on, let it sync, and then use “Delete All Data”, or manage your storage in your iCloud settings.

Emails. Emails you send us are stored on servers operated by Google and Hostinger. We keep an email conversation for as long as it stays active, which means for as long as you keep replying. Old emails are deleted in a monthly clean-up. If you ask us to delete your data, see Your privacy rights and requests below.

This website. We do not store personal information about Website visitors ourselves. See the section on hosting below.

5. Third-party services, Apple and website hosting

We have not added third-party advertising, analytics or tracking tools to the App or the Website, and we will never add any third-party tool that tracks users. Even so, other companies are involved when you use an app or visit a website. They act under their own policies, not this one, and we cannot speak for how they handle information.

Apple

Furiner runs on Apple’s iOS and is distributed through the App Store. Apple provides your device, the App Store, the notification system, the share sheet and, if you use them, device backups and iCloud. Apple may handle information when you download or use apps, as described in Apple’s own privacy policy. If you turn on iCloud Sync, Apple stores and transfers the synced information in your iCloud account. If you have chosen to share analytics or diagnostics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may make some diagnostic or aggregated information about the App available to us through its developer tools. We do not control what Apple collects.

Email services

Emails you send us pass through, and are stored by, email services. The address furinermail@gmail.com is a Gmail address, so Google handles messages sent to it. Hostinger handles email for info@furiner.eu. By default, Hostinger keeps email logs on its servers for 30 days. Hostinger’s practices are its own and may change. For more information, see Hostinger’s privacy policy.

Website hosting

The Website is hosted by Hostinger. Hosting providers commonly process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, the pages requested and the time of the request in order to deliver pages and keep them secure. We have not added our own logging or analytics to the Website. For details of what Hostinger logs and for how long, please refer to Hostinger’s privacy policy.

Other countries

These providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live.

6. Cookies and analytics

Website. The Website’s own code does not set cookies, does not use browser storage to track you, and does not load third-party scripts, fonts, embedded content or analytics. We have checked this against the current Website files. We will never add third-party tools that track users. If anything else about this changes, we will update this policy. Your browser and the hosting provider may still process technical information as described above.

App. The App does not contain advertising, analytics or tracking tools, and we will not add any. It stores your information and preferences on your device so that it can work and, if you turn on iCloud Sync, stores your synced information in your own iCloud account.

7. Children’s privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Furiner is a simple routine tracker and does not set a minimum age of its own. On the App Store, we use the lowest available age rating, 4+, as our reference.

Because the information entered into the App is not sent to us, the main way we could receive a child’s personal information is by email. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will review it and respond.

8. Your privacy rights and requests

Information on your device. You control it directly. You can change or delete items in the App, export your information, delete everything with “Delete All Data”, turn notifications off in iOS Settings, or delete the App. If you use iCloud Sync, you also control the copy in your iCloud account, as described in section 4.

Information you have emailed to us. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under local law over personal information we hold about you. These can include asking whether we hold information about you, asking for a copy, correction or deletion, objecting to or restricting its use, and complaining to a data protection authority.

To make a request, email info@furiner.eu or furinermail@gmail.com, ideally from the address you used before, and tell us what you would like. We may need to check that the request really comes from you. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Deletion. If you ask us to delete your data, we will delete all emails sent from that email address from Hostinger’s servers. Email logs kept by Hostinger follow Hostinger’s own schedule, which by default is 30 days.

We can only act on information we hold. We cannot access information stored only on your device or held by Apple. For that, please contact the relevant party.

9. Security

No method of storing or sending electronic information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Information in the App is protected in part by your device’s own security, such as your passcode and iOS updates, so please keep your device secure. If you use iCloud Sync, the security of that information also depends on Apple and on your Apple Account, so please keep that secure too.

Email is not always private. Please do not send passwords, payment card details or other sensitive information to us by email.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on this page, and the effective date at the top shows when it took effect. If Furiner changes in a way that affects how information is handled, we will update this policy.
