Privacy Policy for the TimeTable++ Android App

Who is responsible?

The controller responsible for data processing in TimeTable++ is the app provider operating under the name Happy App Studios. You can find all developer information under “About the developer” in the Google Play listing. For privacy questions and requests, you can contact me at phylsoft@googlemail.com.

The essentials first

TimeTable++ works offline and without an account. Your timetable, tasks, grades, notes, photos and audio recordings are stored on your device. The app has no internet access of its own and contains no advertising or tracking. I cannot access your content remotely. Data may leave your device when you share it, save it through other apps or enable Android backups. Details and your choices are explained below.

Your data on your device

The app processes your planning data, such as subjects, rooms, teachers’ names, tasks and exam results, as well as notes and media. This also includes your settings and technical information for reminders and widgets. It uses this data to provide the features you choose and stores it in its local storage areas.

To the extent that I am responsible for this processing under data protection law, the legal basis is providing the app features you request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Where applicable, Section 25(2), point 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) applies to the storage of and access to information on your device necessary for these features.

Permissions as needed

You can change permissions in Android settings. Without them, the corresponding additional feature will not be available. Widgets display selected content on your home screen; reminders may also appear on your lock screen. You control how they are displayed through Android.

Sharing and backups

When you share a timetable, an image or a backup, the app you select receives access to the file. Backups may also contain grades, notes and media. If you import or export through a cloud file service, that service processes the selected files. The respective providers’ privacy information applies.

Android backups: If you have enabled device backups, Android may automatically store app data with your backup provider, such as Google, or transfer it to a new device. I do not receive access to this data. You manage these backups in your device and account settings.

Android protects local app data through its access controls. The app does not add password protection to exported files. Therefore, share confidential content only through a suitably protected channel.

When you contact me

If you send me an email, I process your address, your message and any information or attachments you voluntarily include so that I can reply. A prepared feedback message may contain the app version, Android version and language. You review and send the message yourself. Without a contact address, I cannot reply.

I handle contract-related requests under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and other enquiries based on my legitimate interest in helping you and fixing errors (point (f)). Point (c), in conjunction with the GDPR, applies when handling statutory data protection rights.

My email service is Gmail by Google. Data may also be processed outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. Google describes its privacy practices and the legal bases for transfers—particularly the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for transfers covered by it (Article 45 GDPR) and, where applicable, standard contractual clauses (Article 46 GDPR)—in its Privacy Policy and information on data transfers.

Independently of this, Android and Google Play may process diagnostic data depending on your settings and provide me with error and stability information. The app itself does not contain an automatic crash reporting service.

Storage and deletion

Your local content remains stored until you delete it. You can remove all app data using Android’s “Clear storage/Clear data” function; uninstalling the app normally also removes its own data. You must delete exported files, older media folders, shared copies and device backups separately. Files in the app cache may remain until the cache is cleared.

I delete emails and attachments once the enquiry and any related follow-up questions have been resolved. If particular data must be retained longer due to legal obligations or to resolve specific legal claims, I use it only for that purpose and delete it once the reason no longer applies or the relevant retention period has expired.

Your rights

Where the legal requirements are met, the GDPR gives you the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability (Articles 15–20). You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation (Article 21). If processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise these rights, write to me at the email address above. I generally respond free of charge within one month. For content stored exclusively on your device, please use the app’s and Android’s features; I have no access to it.

You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, particularly in the place where you live or work or where the suspected infringement occurred (Article 77). You can find the German supervisory authorities here. Any additional mandatory rights under your country’s laws remain unaffected.
