Tickulo Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-09

Tickulo is a time and hours calculator: it adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides hours, minutes and seconds, works out the time between a start and an end (including overnight shifts and breaks), lets you save calculations with a label, shows this week's total and optional pay, and offers reminders and a home screen widget (the "app"). It is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Tickulo has no account system and we do not run a server for it. All calculations happen on your device.

Data stored on your device

The calculations and shifts you save, their labels, the hourly rate you enter and your settings (theme, reminder choices) are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. If device backup is turned on, Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup. That backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Sharing a result

When you tap Share, the app writes the calculation as text and opens the Android share sheet. Nothing is sent unless you choose an app to share it with; what happens next is up to that app. Copying a result puts it on your device's clipboard.

Permissions the app asks for and why

• Notifications (optional). Used for a reminder to add up your hours. You can decline and every feature still works.
• Run at startup. Lets reminders come back after your phone restarts or the time zone changes.
• Vibration. Used only for reminder notifications if you keep notification vibration on.
• Internet access, network state and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Every calculation in the app works offline.

The app does not request your location, the camera, microphone, storage or media permissions, or your contacts.

Information collected automatically

When you use the app, third-party SDKs used for advertising may collect some information automatically, including:

• Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
• Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
• App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
• Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as your device's operating system and model, and ad performance data

The advertising SDK collects this information and shares it with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your saved calculations, labels, hourly rate or settings off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.

Advertising

The app shows advertisements from Google AdMob:

• a banner at the bottom of the screens
• an ad when the app starts from the launcher
• full-screen ads only after you finish saving something: right after you save a calculation, and right after you save a shift
• an ad in the exit dialog
• optional video ads you can choose to watch from Settings to see fewer ads for 24 hours

A full-screen ad never appears while you type on the keypad, from the widget or a notification, or when you switch tabs. To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app shows a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used. If you decline, you are shown non-personalized ads instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Calculations and pay

Results and pay estimates are calculated from the numbers you enter and are provided for convenience. They are not legal, payroll or financial advice; check official records for anything that affects your wages.

Children

Tickulo is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Your app data exists only on your device, so you control it directly: you can rename or delete saved entries and clear your hourly rate in the app, and uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA/UK or the CCPA in California), you may also have rights over data processed by advertising SDKs. You can exercise your ad choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
