Privacy Policy

1Our approach

The person or entity operating Deadline Pace (the “Operator”) respects user privacy and handles information in accordance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information and other applicable laws. This policy applies to Deadline Pace (the “App”) and this support website.

2Information we handle

2.1 Information stored on your device

• deadline title, type, date, and target workload;
• available weekdays, daily work limit, and buffer period;
• generated or adjusted plans, completion status, and progress;
• focus timer history, notification times, language, and other settings; and
• identifiers for deadlines selected for use in the free version.

This information is generally stored on your device and is not transmitted to the Operator’s server.

2.2 App usage information

The App uses Firebase Analytics, provided by Google LLC, to understand usage and improve quality. Firebase may automatically collect an app instance identifier, device and operating system information, app version, approximate attributes such as country and language, and events such as app launches or screen use.

The App also sends the following custom events:

• that a deadline was created;
• that work was recorded as complete and the screen used to record it;
• that the Plus screen was shown and the context in which it appeared; and
• that a purchase button was selected or a purchase succeeded, including the product ID.

Deadline titles, notes, detailed plan contents, study contents, names, and email addresses are not included in these custom events. The App does not display advertising and does not request permission to track users across other companies’ apps or websites.

2.3 Purchase and subscription information

Plus payments are processed through Apple’s App Store. RevenueCat, Inc. provides subscription management. To provide this service, an anonymous App User ID, technical information such as device type and operating system, the last time the App was used, product ID, purchase history, Apple receipt information, and entitlement status are transmitted to and stored by RevenueCat.

The App does not set a name or email address as a RevenueCat user attribute. The Operator and RevenueCat do not receive your credit card number or other App Store payment credentials.

2.4 Notification information

Notification permission, reminder times, and planned work are used on your device to schedule local notifications. Deadline content is not sent to the Operator’s server to deliver push notifications.

2.5 Information you provide when contacting support

If you use the support form, we collect your name (optional), email address, selected topic, message, and any information you choose to include. The contact form is intended to use services provided by Formspree, Inc.

3Why we use information

Information is used to:

• provide App features and remember your settings;
• manage, verify, and restore Plus purchases and entitlements;
• analyze use and improve features, usability, and reliability;
• investigate problems, provide support, and respond to users; and
• prevent abuse, maintain security, and comply with law.

4Service providers and destinations

Information sent to these providers is handled under their privacy policies and terms. It may be processed or stored on servers outside your country.

5Disclosure to third parties

The Operator does not disclose personal information to third parties except:

• with your consent;
• to a service provider where necessary for the purposes described above;
• where required by law or necessary to protect life, health, or property; or
• as part of a merger, acquisition, or other transfer of the service.

6Retention and deletion

• On-device information: retained until you delete it in the App or remove the App. Copies may remain in device or Apple backups.
• Analytics information: retained and deleted under the Firebase Analytics settings and Google’s policies.
• Purchase and subscription information: retained and deleted under RevenueCat and Apple settings, policies, and applicable legal requirements.
• Support information: retained only as needed to respond, improve support, resolve disputes, and comply with law, then deleted when no longer needed.

7Your choices

• Delete deadlines and plans using the App’s deletion features.
• Disable notifications in the App or your device settings.
• Cancel Plus through the subscription settings for your Apple Account.
• To remove all core App data from the device, delete the data in the App and uninstall the App.

Where required by law, you may request access to, correction of, restriction of, or deletion of personal information held by the Operator. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8Security

The Operator uses reasonable measures such as access controls and appropriate service configuration to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, disclosure, or damage. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9Children

The App is not designed specifically for children of a particular age. If the laws where you live require parental consent, use the App only with that consent. If the Operator learns that a child’s personal information was collected without required consent, the Operator will take reasonable steps to delete it.

10Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when laws, App features, or service providers change. Material changes will be announced in the App or on this website, and the last-updated date above will be revised.
