Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

Introduction

FlowTime ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our free online Pomodoro timer service.

Important: FlowTime does not require an account, does not collect personal data, and stores all information locally in your browser.

What FlowTime Collects Directly

FlowTime itself does not collect or store any personal data on its own servers. We never ask for or store:

No email addresses
No names or usernames
No passwords or accounts
No payment information

What Data Is Stored

FlowTime uses your browser's local storage to save your settings and statistics. This data includes:

  • Timer preferences (duration, sounds, themes)
  • Task lists and completed pomodoros
  • Usage statistics and streaks
  • Settings preferences

This data never leaves your device. It is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers or shared with any third parties.

Cookies

FlowTime stores your app preferences and statistics in your browser's local storage, not in cookies. However, the third-party services we use — Google Analytics and Google AdSense — may set cookies on your device to measure traffic and serve advertising. See the Advertising and Analytics sections below for details on how to control these.

Advertising

FlowTime is free to use and is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads on some pages, such as our blog.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to FlowTime and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use FlowTime in aggregate — which pages are popular and how people navigate the site. This helps us improve the product. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect anonymized usage data such as your approximate location, device type, and pages visited. We do not use this data to personally identify you. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Security

Since all data is stored locally in your browser, security is maintained by your browser's built-in security features. We recommend:

  • Keeping your browser updated
  • Using secure devices
  • Not sharing your device with untrusted users

Note: If you clear your browser's local storage or use incognito mode, your FlowTime data will be deleted.

Children's Privacy

FlowTime is designed to be safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13, and our service does not require any personal information to use.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
