Plain Apps

Privacy policy: Eye Rest & Move

Android and iPhone app · Last updated:

1. In short

The app does not collect, transmit or share personal data. It has no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party code that collects data. The app itself makes no network requests. Everything it stores stays on your phone.

2. Who is responsible

Provider of the app and controller within the meaning of the GDPR: Plain Apps, Residenzstr. 5, 80333 Munich, Germany, plainapps@tuta.com

Contact for privacy questions: plainapps@tuta.com

The full provider details are in the .

The data the app keeps on your phone is not sent to us. We do not receive it.

3. What the app stores on your phone

  • Your settings (interval, break length, strength, hours, break types, sounds, which features are on).
  • Your break history: when a reminder or break happened and how you answered (start, snooze, done, skip, moved), and daily counters.
  • If you use “Don't count these apps” (Android): the list of apps you chose, and the app currently pausing the count.
  • If you use “Notice when I've moved”: on Android, the step counter's readings of about the last 2 hours and the time you last moved; on iPhone, the time you last moved. Step counts are not kept in the history.
  • For the widget and the Lock Screen countdown: the next break time, in storage that only the app and its widget can read.

This data is kept in the app's private storage on your device. We never receive it.

4. Permissions, each asked only when you use the feature

  • Notifications: to show reminders. They are scheduled on your phone, not by a server.
  • Display over other apps (Android, optional): the full-screen break.
  • Usage Access (Android, optional): Android describes it as access to app usage information. The app only checks which app is in front, about every 2 seconds, to skip counting in apps you chose. It keeps no history of your apps and sends nothing.
  • Physical activity (Android) / Motion & Fitness (iPhone) (optional): the phone's step counter, only to skip a move reminder after you walked. Steps are not sent anywhere.
  • Foreground service and start on boot (Android): to keep counting in the background with a visible notification and to start again after a restart.

The app does not use your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone, and does not read other apps' data. It does not use Apple Health.

5. Links

Study and help links open in your phone's browser when you tap them; that website's own policy applies. The app sends them nothing.

6. Files you export

The CSV export creates a file only when you ask and hands it to your phone's share sheet. We do not see it.

7. Backups by Apple or Google

On Android, the app asks the system not to include its data in your Google backup. On iPhone, iCloud Backup may include it if you have it switched on; Apple does that under your account, and we do not receive it.

8. Medical note

This app is a wellness reminder, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

9. Third-party code and services

The app is built with Expo and React Native and their open-source libraries, which run inside the app. None of them collects or sends data; the app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting code. The Android app has no internet permission. The notification library contains push-messaging parts that are not set up and cannot connect.

The step counter and motion data come from your phone's system (Android's step counter; Apple's motion and fitness service on iPhone) and stay on the device.

10. No tracking, ads or analytics

The app has no account, no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting and no tracking. It does not use an advertising ID. We do not build profiles and make no automated decisions about you.

11. Legal basis

Nearly everything the app does happens on your phone, and we never receive it. Where that is processing of personal data for which we are responsible, the legal basis is:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR: the app functions you ask for (the app is used under the terms of the store you got it from).
  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR: your consent, for optional features that are off until you switch them on and for which your phone asks your permission. You can withdraw consent at any time by switching the feature or the permission off in the app or in your phone's settings. Processing that already happened stays lawful.

12. How long data is kept, and how to delete it

The data stays on your phone until you delete it. We keep no copy. In the app, go to Stats › Delete history to delete your break history. Uninstalling the app removes all of its data from your phone.

13. Children

The app is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children.

14. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to:

  • information about and access to your data (Art. 15),
  • correction (Art. 16),
  • erasure (Art. 17),
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18),
  • notification of recipients about corrections, erasure or restriction (Art. 19),
  • receive your data in a common format and pass it on (data portability, Art. 20),
  • object to processing (Art. 21), and
  • withdraw a consent you gave (Art. 7(3)).

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77), for example the one where you live. The app makes no decision about you based only on automated processing (Art. 22).

We receive no personal data through the app, so we normally hold nothing about you that we could give out, correct or delete. You can delete your history yourself in the app and export it as CSV; removing the app removes all of its data.

If you still want to use one of these rights or have a question, write to the contact address in section 2. We answer within one month (Art. 12(3) GDPR).

15. App stores

If you install the app through Google Play or the App Store, the store processes your download and account under its own privacy policy. We receive only aggregated statistics from the store, no personal data.

16. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published at this address with a new date. If a future version of the app starts to access more than described here, this policy is updated before that version is released.
