Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy – Continuum

Last updated: Dec 04, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the Continuum app (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles your information. Continuum is a personal timeline app that lets you record events across your life, world history, and future plans.

1. Overview

Continuum is designed as a local-first app.

This means your data is stored on your device by default, and not automatically sent to our servers.

2. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information that directly identifies you (such as your name or email) inside the app.

The app stores the following data locally on your device:

Timelines you create (name, description, color)
Events you create (title, description, dates or “years ago” values, categories, locations, optional links such as Google Photos URLs)
App settings (such as preferred zoom level and sort order per timeline)

If you use the Import / Export feature:

Export: The app generates a JSON backup file containing your timelines and events. You decide where to store or send this file.
Import: The app reads a JSON file that you choose and replaces your current local data with the contents of that file.

We do not have access to your backups unless you choose to share them with us manually (for example, via email for support).

3. How We Use Your Data

All timeline and event data is used only for:

Displaying your timelines and events inside the app
Providing features such as zoom, search, filters, jump navigation, and sorting
Importing and exporting your data when you request it

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising.

4. Data Storage and Security
Your timelines and events are stored locally on your device, using the app’s local storage mechanism.

Because data is stored on your device:

If you uninstall the app, your local data will generally be deleted from that device.
If you want to keep your data before uninstalling, you should use the Export feature to create a backup file and store it in a safe place (for example in your personal cloud storage or email).

We recommend that you protect your device with a passcode or biometric lock to help keep your data secure.

5. Data Deletion
You remain in control of your data:

To delete your data from a device, you can:
- Clear the app’s data from the device settings, or
- Uninstall the app from that device.
To delete any exported backup files, you must delete those files from wherever you stored them (for example in your email, cloud drive, or file system).

If, in the future, Continuum adds optional cloud sync or accounts, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain what data is stored on servers and how to request deletion.

6. Children’s Privacy
Continuum is not specifically directed at children, but it can be used by people of different ages as a personal timeline tool.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since data is stored locally on the device, parents or guardians remain responsible for managing app usage and device access.

7. Third-Party Services

Continuum uses a privacy-focused analytics service to help improve app stability, reliability, and feature development.
This service may collect limited anonymous usage and diagnostic information related to app usage, feature performance, and reliability. We do not use analytics for advertising, profiling, or selling user data. Timeline content, event descriptions, and personal timeline data are not intentionally transmitted as part of analytics events.

8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your data.
