Privacy Policy

Go Time turns your calendar events into real alarms — using Apple’s AlarmKit — so you never miss a meeting. The alarms ring even when your phone is on silent or in Focus. This policy explains, in plain English, exactly what data Go Time uses and how your privacy is protected.

Go Time is developed by Rainpeak Signals Inc. (“Rainpeak,” “we,” “us”), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. In this policy, references to “the developer” mean Rainpeak Signals Inc.

The short version

Your calendar never leaves your device. Go Time has no account or sign-in, no tracking, and no advertising. The only information that ever leaves your device is a feedback report you explicitly choose to write and send through the in-app “Send Feedback” form. That report contains your message, a small amount of technical information about your app and device, and — only if you switch them on yourself — a diagnostic log and an email address so we can reply. We don’t sell it, don’t share it for advertising, and don’t use it to track you.

How Go Time uses your calendar

Go Time reads your calendar events through Apple’s EventKit (Calendar access) solely on your device, and only to decide when to schedule alarms before your meetings. Your events are processed locally on your device. They are never uploaded, copied to a server, or sent to anyone — including the developer.

Data we collect

The only personal data the developer ever collects is the feedback you choose to submit through the in-app “Send Feedback” form, described in the next section. Nothing is collected unless and until you write a message and tap Send. Specifically:

• No calendar data, event details, or meeting information ever leaves your device.
• No analytics, telemetry, or usage data is collected, and nothing is sent in the background. Go Time keeps a diagnostic log on your device to help troubleshoot problems; it stays there unless you deliberately attach it to a feedback report, as described below.
• No tracking across apps or websites, no advertising, and no advertising identifier (IDFA).
• No third-party SDKs inside the app that collect or transmit your information. (Once you send a feedback report, it is handled for us by the service providers named under “Where feedback is stored, and who processes it” below.)
• No account, sign-in, or profile. Go Time never asks for your name, phone number, or location. The one exception is an email address, which you may optionally give in the feedback form if you would like a reply — see the next section.

The single exception is voluntary feedback, which we explain in full below.

Feedback you send us

Go Time includes an optional “Send Feedback” form (in Settings) where you can report a bug or problem, suggest a feature, or share general comments. This feature is entirely voluntary and user-initiated: nothing is ever sent unless you write a message and tap Send.

When — and only when — you tap Send, the app transmits a single feedback report to the developer (Rainpeak Signals Inc.) over a secure HTTPS connection. That report contains the following, and nothing else:

• The category you picked (Bug/problem, Feature suggestion, or General).
• The message text you wrote.
• A timestamp of when the report was submitted.
• A report ID — a random one-off identifier created for that submission, so that retrying a failed send can’t create a duplicate. It is generated fresh each time, is not derived from your device or from you, and is not reused. A version number for the report format travels alongside it so we can read the report correctly.
• Basic technical context to help us reproduce and triage the issue: the app version, your iOS version, your device model (a hardware model name such as “iPhone17,1” — this tells us which model of iPhone or iPad you have, not which device is yours), and your language and region setting.
• A short diagnostics snapshot of how the app is currently set up — seven values in total: whether Alarm access is granted, whether Calendar access is granted, whether alarms are paused, how many calendars Go Time is watching, whether Background App Refresh is available, whether you have Go Time Pro, and whether a holiday calendar is selected. Every one of these is a simple on/off value, a fixed state, or a count. None of them contains event details or free text.
• Only if you switch on “Include diagnostic log”: Go Time’s diagnostic log, compressed. The log records the app’s own activity — scheduling alarms, calendar syncs, permission changes, and errors. Where it needs to refer to one of your events, that event appears only as an anonymous code and the alarm time: never its title, notes, attendees, location, or links, and never the names of your calendars. The code is a one-way value that means nothing outside your own log — it cannot be turned back into an event, and it cannot be matched to anyone else’s. That isn’t a promise we rely on remembering: the app is built so that this information cannot be written to the log in the first place, and an automated check enforces it on every change to the code.
• Only if you switch on “I’d like a reply”: the email address you type in, so that we can write back. We don’t ask for your name, and the address is used only to reply to you — never for a mailing list, marketing, or anything else.

That is the complete list. The contents of your calendar are not in it. No titles, notes, attendees, locations, links, or calendar names are included in a feedback report, and there is no other route by which they could reach us. Apart from the fields above, the only information a report can hold about you is whatever you choose to type into the message yourself — so please don’t include sensitive details you’d rather we didn’t have. We receive feedback solely so that we can read it, respond to and act on it, and improve the app.

Is feedback linked to you? We’d rather be precise here than reassuring. Your feedback is not sold, not shared for advertising, not used to track you, and not used to build a profile — Go Time contains no tracking technology and no advertising identifier. But because a report can carry an email address you gave us, and because the message text is your own words, we treat feedback as personal information that is linked to you, and that is how it is declared on Go Time’s App Store privacy label. If you don’t ask for a reply, we hold no email address and no account for you, and the report is in practice identifiable only by what you wrote in it. Go Time has no account system and no user profiles; the report ID, device model, and version details are not identifiers for you.

How long we keep it. Feedback reports, including any diagnostic log you attached, are kept for 365 days and are then deleted automatically by a retention rule on our storage. If you asked for a reply, the email address you gave is stored separately from the report itself and is deleted after 90 days by a scheduled job. Removing the address leaves the report intact but anonymous.

Asking us to delete it sooner. Email us at hello@rainpeaksignals.com. If you asked for a reply, we can find your report from that email address. If you didn’t, feedback carries no account and no identifier we can match to you, so please include enough detail — such as the approximate date and the content of your message — for us to locate it.

Where feedback is stored, and who processes it

Feedback reports are received and stored on Microsoft Azure, in Microsoft’s Canada Central region — that is, on servers in Canada. Microsoft is our hosting provider and processes this data on our instructions.

We also use Pushover (operated by Superblock, LLC) to alert the developer that a new report has arrived. That notification includes the category, the message text you wrote, basic technical context such as app version and device model, whether you asked for a reply, and — if you attached a diagnostic log — a temporary link to it. These notifications are delivered through Pushover’s service and remain stored on its servers and in its apps, under Pushover’s own privacy policy.

Your email address is deliberately never sent to Pushover. If you asked for a reply, that address stays in our own storage in Canada and is looked up only at the moment we actually write back to you.

Microsoft and Pushover are the only third parties that handle feedback for us. Both act as service providers on our behalf; we do not sell your information to them or to anyone else, and we do not share it for advertising. This is separate from Apple, which handles App Store purchases as described further below.

Data stored on your device

Apart from a feedback report you choose to send, everything Go Time stores is kept locally on your device: your app preferences (such as your chosen lead time, selected calendars, and rules), the list of alarms it has scheduled, and its on-device diagnostic log. This information stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere — except for the diagnostic log, and only if you attach it to a feedback report yourself.

Retention and deletion. Because this data lives only on your device, it is retained for as long as Go Time is installed. You can clear it by changing your settings in the app, and it is permanently and completely removed when you delete the app from your device. There is no server-side copy of your settings, alarms, or on-device log for the developer to retain or delete.

Security

Go Time keeps your calendar data and your in-app settings on your device, where your information benefits from your device’s own built-in protections — including device passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, and the operating system’s data protection and app sandboxing. The only data that ever leaves your device is a feedback report you choose to send, which is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection and stored on Microsoft Azure in Canada. There is no developer-held account database and no user profiles — the only developer-side information is the voluntary feedback you submit, which we keep to the limits set out above: 365 days for reports and diagnostic logs, and 90 days for reply email addresses.

Permissions Go Time requests

To do its job, Go Time asks for two iOS permissions:

• Calendar access — to read your events so it can schedule an alarm before each one.
• Alarms — to schedule alarms through Apple’s AlarmKit.

You can use the app without granting these, but it won’t be able to schedule alarms from your calendar. You can change or revoke either permission at any time in the iOS Settings app.

Purchases and payments

“Go Time Pro” can be unlocked with an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly, with a free trial for eligible users) or with a one-time “Lifetime licence”, both sold through Apple’s App Store using StoreKit. Apple processes all payments and purchase data. The developer never receives your name, payment card, or billing details — Go Time only learns from Apple, on your own device, whether an active Pro subscription or Lifetime licence exists, so it can unlock Pro features.

Any purchase, billing, or account information you provide to the App Store is handled by Apple and governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy (available at apple.com/legal/privacy), not by this policy. The developer has no access to that information.

Meeting (“Join”) links

When you tap a “Join” link for a meeting, it opens in the relevant app or browser. That link comes from your own calendar data, and tapping it is a normal link tap handled by iOS — Go Time does not track it.

Children’s privacy

Go Time is not directed to children. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in parts of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom). The only information the developer ever collects is feedback a user voluntarily chooses to send, and the app is not intended for use by children. If you believe a child has submitted information through the feedback form, please contact us at the address below and we will delete it.

Your rights and your data

Your calendar information, settings, and scheduled alarms all live on your device, and they are permanently removed when you delete the app. You remain in full control: you can change your settings, revoke Calendar or Alarms permission in the iOS Settings app, or delete the app at any time. The only personal data the developer ever holds is feedback you choose to submit; you can ask us to access or delete that feedback by emailing hello@rainpeaksignals.com (if you asked for a reply, we can find it from your email address; otherwise please include enough detail for us to locate it, since feedback carries no account or identifier).

Your California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)

The developer does not sell your personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act — and never has in the preceding 12 months. The only personal information the developer collects is the feedback report you choose to submit through the in-app form, itemized in full under “Feedback you send us” above. Depending on the choices you make in that form, it can include customer-support information (the message you write), diagnostic information, and — if you ask for a reply — an email address. It is used solely to read and act on your feedback and to improve the app, is never sold, shared, or used to track you, and is disclosed only to the service providers named above, who process it on our behalf. Your calendar data and other in-app data stay on your device under your control and are not collected. California residents may request access to, or deletion of, feedback they have submitted by contacting us at the address below; if you asked for a reply we can locate the report from your email address, and if you did not, please include enough detail for us to find it, since a report without a reply address is not linked to any account. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

European Economic Area & United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Go Time processes your calendar data entirely on your own device to schedule alarms, and transmits none of it to the developer or any third party. You exercise control over that on-device data directly by adjusting settings, revoking permissions, or deleting the app. The lawful basis for that limited, on-device use of your calendar is your consent, given through the iOS permission prompt, which you can withdraw at any time in the iOS Settings app.

The only personal data the developer receives onto its own systems is the feedback report you voluntarily submit through the in-app form, itemized in full under “Feedback you send us” above — your message and technical context, plus, if you switch them on, a diagnostic log and an email address for a reply. The lawful basis for processing this is your consent — given by choosing to send the report, and, for the log and the email address, by switching on each of those options — together with our legitimate interest in responding to feedback and improving the app; you can withhold it simply by not using the form. You may withdraw your consent by asking us to delete the report. We use feedback only to read and act on it, do not sell or share it, and do not use it to track or profile you. It is stored in Canada and disclosed only to the processors named above, and it is retained for 365 days (reply email addresses: 90 days). With respect to feedback you have sent, you may exercise your data-subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection) by contacting us at the details below; if you asked for a reply we can locate your report from your email address, and if you did not, please include enough detail for us to find it, since an anonymous report is not linked to an account or identifier. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Canada (PIPEDA & BC PIPA)

As a company incorporated in British Columbia, Rainpeak is committed to handling personal information in accordance with Canada’s federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA). Go Time processes your calendar data entirely on your own device, and Rainpeak does not collect, store, or transmit it to its own servers. The only personal information Rainpeak collects is the feedback you choose to submit through the in-app form, and only for the purpose of responding to it and improving the app; we do not sell, share, or use it to track you. Feedback is stored on servers in Canada and is retained for 365 days, with reply email addresses held separately and deleted after 90 days. Consent for Go Time’s on-device calendar and alarm access is given through the iOS permission prompts, and you can withdraw that consent at any time in the iOS Settings app; consent to send feedback is given each time you choose to submit it, and separately again for attaching a diagnostic log or giving an email address for a reply. You may ask Rainpeak to access, correct, or delete feedback you have submitted, or contact us with any privacy questions, at the address below. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

International users and data transfers

Go Time keeps your calendar data and other in-app data on your device, so there is no international transfer of that data. The one exception is a feedback report you choose to send: it is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on Microsoft Azure in the Canada Central region — on servers in Canada. If you asked for a reply, your email address is stored in Canada too.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom: Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred to organizations subject to Canada’s PIPEDA, which is the basis on which we receive feedback from the EEA. Our notification service, Pushover, may process the developer’s new-report alert outside Canada; that alert carries only the information described under “Where feedback is stored, and who processes it” above, and never your email address.

Separately, any App Store or subscription information you provide to Apple is handled by Apple under Apple’s own privacy policy and may be processed by Apple in the United States or elsewhere; that is outside the developer’s control.

Terms of use

Your use of Go Time is governed by the Go Time Terms of Use and by Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which applies to apps licensed through the App Store. Please review both for the terms that apply to the app.

Please note: Go Time is a helpful aid, not a guaranteed alerting system. Alarm delivery depends on iOS, AlarmKit, your calendar data, and your device’s settings and state (for example, the device being powered on and not in an interfering state). Like any app, it can be affected by software issues or conditions outside the developer’s control, so it cannot be guaranteed to alert you for every event. Do not rely on Go Time as your sole or only reminder for time-critical or important events. Go Time is provided “as is,” without warranty that alarms will always fire, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Except as otherwise governed by Apple’s Standard EULA, these terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review it from time to time. Your continued use of Go Time after an update means you accept the revised policy.
