Privacy policy
In short
- TimingApp has no accounts, no ads and no analytics or tracking tools.
- Your start lists, times and settings are stored on your phone and are not stored by us.
- We do not sell or share data.
- A few features use services from other companies. They are described below, so you know when something leaves your phone.
What is stored on your phone
Start lists you import or type in (names, bib numbers, club, class and start time), registered passages and times, GPX tracks, planned places, participants you follow and the app's settings. Everything is kept in the app's own storage on your phone and disappears when you uninstall the app. The phone's own backup (Google or Apple) may include the app's data, depending on your phone settings.
Location
Location is only used to show where you are on the map. It is never used to register times, and we do not receive it. Map images are fetched from OpenFreeMap (maps) and Esri (satellite imagery), which therefore see your IP address and which map area you are viewing.
Camera
The camera reads bib numbers and the time on an official race clock. Images are analysed on the phone, are not saved and are not sent anywhere. On Android, Google's ARCore is used for the virtual timing marker; Google's own information about ARCore then applies.
Microphone and voice mode
Voice mode is optional. Speech recognition is done by the phone's operating system. Depending on the phone and language, audio may be processed on Google's or Apple's servers under their terms. TimingApp does not save any audio.
AI import of start lists
When you choose to import a start list with AI, the content of the list (text, PDF or the text of a web page) is sent via our server on to Anthropic, which interprets it. Such content often contains names, clubs and bib numbers. Nothing is sent until you press the import button.
Our server runs at Supabase in the EU. It forwards the content and does not store it: neither the list, the PDF nor the answer is kept by us. The server only counts how many imports your phone has made each month (Premium has a monthly quota of 10 imports), using a random ID that the app creates and that is not linked to you. As part of operating the service, Supabase may process your IP address in technical logs. Anthropic handles the data under its API terms (anthropic.com/legal).
Information about others
Start lists contain other people's names. You are responsible for having the right to use and share the data you enter, for example a start list published by the organiser. The app is made for timing races and is not directed at children.
Your rights
We store no data about you, only that random ID and the number of AI imports per month (see above), which cannot be linked to you. We therefore normally have nothing to hand over or delete. You delete everything yourself by removing the data in the app or uninstalling it. If you have questions, or want to exercise your rights under the GDPR, contact us. You can also contact the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (imy.se).
Changes
If we change how the app handles data, we update this page and the date above, and describe the change before it takes effect.
