1. Data Handling Within the App
Still leaf does not require an account. Its core timer and built-in themes work offline. The current version does not make network requests, collect or upload personal information, usage activity logs, or crash logs, or integrate analytics, advertising tracking, or automatic crash reporting services that transmit user data outside the device.
The app does not send data from your device to the developer or third parties, or use that data for advertising, user profiling, or tracking across apps.
2. Data Processed Only on Your Device
To provide break reminders and remember your preferences, the app processes or stores settings locally on your Mac, including reminder intervals, break durations, reminder modes, themes, sounds, and appearance preferences. It also processes the operational state needed for timing, pausing, resuming, and displaying break scenes across multiple displays.
This data is used only to provide app functionality and remember your choices. It is not uploaded through the app. The developer cannot remotely access, modify, or delete this data.
3. System Notifications and Feature Settings
When you enable system notifications, the app requests notification permission as required by macOS to send break reminders. You can manage or disable this permission at any time in macOS System Settings. Disabling it prevents system notifications but does not affect features that do not depend on this permission.
You can manage launch-at-login behavior, keyboard shortcuts, and other app settings as needed. The multiple-display feature displays break scenes; it does not capture or upload the contents of your screen.
4. Information You Provide When Contacting the Developer
If you contact the developer at taotao.ttfy@gmail.com, the developer receives your email address, the contents of your message, and any screenshots or attachments you voluntarily provide. This information is used only to answer inquiries, troubleshoot issues, and handle privacy requests. It is not used for advertising or marketing.
Providing this information is voluntary and is not a condition of using the app. Please avoid sending passwords, identity documents, financial account information, or sensitive content unrelated to your request.
The support mailbox uses Gmail, a service provided by Google. Messages are transmitted and stored through the email service, separately from the app's local data processing. For information about Google's data handling and global infrastructure, see the Google Privacy Policy. Support emails are not guaranteed to be stored exclusively within China. Sending an email or publishing this policy does not replace any legally required cross-border data transfer notices, separate consent, or other procedures.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
The developer does not sell, rent, or share the personal information you voluntarily provide for advertising purposes. This information is not provided to other third parties except through email services necessary to send, receive, and store support messages, or where required by law.
If disclosure to a competent authority is legally required, the developer will verify the request and limit disclosure to what is necessary. Before undertaking new personal information processing activities, the developer will fulfill applicable notice, consent, and other legal obligations.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Local settings are stored on your device for future use. You can adjust them within the app. On macOS, deleting the app alone may not remove its preference files, and copies may remain in device backups. You can contact the support email address for guidance on removing local data. Copies in backups must be managed using the relevant backup tools.
Information in support emails is retained only for the shortest period necessary to handle your request. It will be deleted once the request has been resolved and there is no continuing need to retain it. Where retention is required by law, the information will be kept until the required period expires, with other uses restricted. Backups and deletion within the email service are subject to that service's applicable rules.
7. Your Rights
To the extent provided by applicable law, you may request access to, a copy of, correction of, completion of, deletion of, or restrictions on the processing of personal information actually held by the developer. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Please submit requests using the contact email address. The developer will conduct necessary and proportionate identity verification and respond within the time limits required by applicable law. If a request cannot be fulfilled, the developer will explain why. You may also lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority in accordance with applicable law. For data stored only on your device that the developer cannot access, the developer will provide practical guidance on managing it locally. The app does not provide an account system, so app account deletion does not apply.
8. Information Security and Protection of Minors
The developer will apply reasonable access restrictions and security measures to support information actually received, to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. If a personal information security incident occurs, the developer will take remedial action and fulfill notification obligations as required by law.
The app does not actively collect personal information from minors. Minors should contact the developer under the guidance of a parent or guardian and avoid providing unnecessary personal information. If the developer discovers that personal information from a minor has been received without parental or guardian consent where such consent is legally required, the developer will promptly take appropriate measures, such as deletion.
9. Apple Services and Scope
When you download, purchase, or update the app through the Mac App Store, Apple handles relevant information under its own policies. See the Apple Privacy Policy.
Statements in this policy that the app does not make network requests apply only to the Still leaf app itself. They do not cover network activity by macOS, the App Store, email clients, device backup services, or websites you independently visit.
10. Policy Updates and Contact
If app features or data handling practices change, the developer will update this policy and its last-updated date. Material changes involving personal information processing will be communicated through appropriate means. Where consent is required by law, it will be requested before the relevant processing begins.
If you have questions about this policy or wish to exercise your personal information rights, please contact the Still leaf developer.
