Privacy Policy
Effective 14 October 2026 · HourMemo / 时酬记 · Developer: Wen Chen
HourMemo is a personal work-hours and estimated-earnings log for iPhone and iPad. This policy covers the app and this support website. For privacy questions, contact support@woaifx.com.
1. Work content and complete backups
Work records, dates, durations, rates, calculated amounts, profile details, project names, notes, reminders and attached photos are stored in HourMemo’s local device container. We do not operate an account system or a server that receives this work content.
You can save a complete HourMemo backup package containing records, people, projects, reminders and photos, including records in Recently Deleted. A backup is a private file you choose where to save and share. Restoring a validated package replaces the current ledger; a local recovery copy of the replaced data is retained on the device. Purchases, analytics permission and unsaved drafts are not included in a backup and stay on the device. Excel exports are reports and cannot restore a backup.
Camera access is requested when you take an attachment photo. Photos and contacts selected through Apple system pickers are used locally for the requested feature. Notifications are scheduled locally after permission is granted. You can manage permissions in iOS Settings.
2. Recently Deleted and local retention
Deleted work records and their photos move to Recently Deleted, where they can be restored for 30 days. After 30 days, they are removed when the app next performs maintenance. Records in Recently Deleted remain part of a complete backup until they are permanently removed. Local content otherwise remains until you delete it or remove the app.
3. Optional usage analytics
Usage analytics is off by default. You can allow it, revoke it or change the choice in HourMemo Settings; it does not limit app features or Pro access.
When enabled, Google Analytics for Firebase receives a random app-installation identifier; app and device information such as app version, operating system and device model; usage and session information; feature interactions; and purchase-flow outcomes. Google may derive an approximate region from the connection IP address. The SDK may record subscription product, value, currency and transaction events. This concerns an HourMemo subscription, not the earnings you record.
Our custom events use fixed categories, such as a record created, report generated or purchase cancelled. They do not contain your name, email, phone number, project names, work dates or hours, rates, earnings, notes, photos, record identifiers, contact contents or exported files. We do not set an account-based analytics user ID. We do not use ads, collect IDFA or IDFV, sell personal data, or use analytics for cross-company advertising tracking. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization remain denied.
Turning analytics off stops subsequent collection and resets the local analytics data. It does not automatically erase reports already processed by Google. Because analytics is not associated with a named account, we may be unable to locate an earlier installation’s records.
4. Purchases, reports and support
Apple processes payments and subscription management. HourMemo uses verified StoreKit transaction information to determine Pro access. We do not receive payment-card details. When you share, email or print a report, only the content you choose is passed to the destination you select. Contacting support sends us your message, reply address and any attachments you voluntarily include.
5. Website and service providers
This website uses Firebase Hosting for HTTPS delivery and does not embed advertising, analytics scripts or tracking cookies. Google may process technical request information, including IP addresses, to deliver and secure the site. Google processes enabled app analytics on our behalf; Apple provides the App Store and device services. Data may be processed outside your country.
See Google’s Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy information and Apple’s Privacy Policy.
6. Rights and changes
Analytics data is subject to our Google Analytics retention settings and Google’s processing rules; aggregated reports can be retained longer than event-level data. Support messages are retained only as needed to resolve requests and meet applicable obligations. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of personal data, withdraw consent, or complain to a supervisory authority. Contact support@woaifx.com. We will explain what we can identify and applicable limits.
HourMemo is intended for people recording their own work and is not directed at children under 13. We will update this page and its effective date when practices change.
