Privacy Policy

PomoCafe is not directed to children, and you must be at least 13 years of age to use this service. If we learn that we have collected personal information from someone under 13, we will delete it.

• Account information, when you sign in with Google: your email address and Google’s identifier for your account.
• Tracks you save, if you're signed in: which tracks, and when you saved each one.
• Study sessions, if you're signed in: when each one started and ended, how long it lasted, and your local date. Sessions are not sent to us if you aren't signed in.
• Location: your approximate country when you sign up, which our hosting provider works out from your IP address. We save it with your account. We do not collect your precise location.
• Technical information: your IP address, used to limit sign-ins and to prevent abuse. These limits are kept in memory rather than saved to our database, though an address may appear in server logs when a limit is reached.

• To create and secure your account and authenticate you when you sign in.
• To show you your saved tracks and your study stats.
• To understand which countries our users come from.
• To maintain the safety and integrity of the service, including rate limits.
• To communicate with you about your account when necessary.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run PomoCafe, or when required by law:

• Cloudflare, which stores and serves the music and art. Your browser loads these files from Cloudflare directly, so it receives your IP address.
• Google, for Google sign-in if you choose to use it.
• Our hosting providers, which run the website and store its data.

We set one cookie of our own, which keeps you signed in, and a temporary one while you sign in with Google. The sign-in cookie lasts up to 30 days and is renewed while you use the site.

In your browser’s local storage, we save your theme and color scheme, your timer settings, the timer in progress, the last track you played and your volume, sessions waiting to be saved, and whether you've turned on notifications. Notifications are created by your browser and sent to you only from this page; we don't send them through a server. Clearing your browser’s site data removes our cookies and this storage.

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

We keep your account, saved tracks, and study sessions for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, your study sessions and saved tracks are permanently deleted with it.

You can permanently delete your account from your account page. You can turn notifications off at any time. You can request access to or correction of your personal information by contacting us using the details below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
