Privacy in Toki
In short: Toki sends no data to me. There is no account, no server of mine, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Everything you enter stays on your iPhone unless you pass it on yourself (export, backup). The German version is legally binding.

2. What Toki stores on your iPhone
- Your entries: working times, breaks, vacation, sick days, public holidays, notes, credits.
- Your settings: employer name, target hours, default times, vacation entitlement and starting values, German state.
- If you use recording by location: the position and radius of your office and the times you arrived and left.
This data lives only in the app's storage on your device and is gone when you delete Toki. If you use the iOS device backup (iCloud Backup or a computer), it is included like all app data; that is handled by Apple or your computer.
3. Location (only if you turn it on)
"Automatic by location" is off until you turn it on. iOS then asks for location access, with "Always" for recording in the background.
- Toki lets iOS watch a circle around your office. iOS only tells the app "arrived" and "left"; Toki stores the times.
- Toki asks for the precise location only when you tap "Use current location", and when the app opens, to check whether a still open stay at the office is real. The location itself is not stored, only the result.
- Toki does not send location data off your iPhone. Turn the feature off in the app or in iOS Settings.
4. Map and address search (Apple)
To set the office, Toki shows an Apple map and offers an address search. iOS sends the search text and the approximate map region to Apple, and map images are loaded from Apple. This happens directly between your iPhone and Apple; I receive nothing. Apple's privacy policy applies.
5. Notifications
If you allow it, Toki shows a short notification on arrival and departure. It is created on the iPhone itself; there is no push service and no server.
6. Automatic backup, export and import
- The automatic backup writes your data to a folder you choose, for example in iCloud Drive. The terms of that storage apply, for iCloud Drive Apple's. I have no access to it.
- PDF and CSV exports and backup files are only created when you trigger them. You decide where to share them.
- When importing (myTime backup or Toki backup), the app only reads the file you pick.
7. App Store and TestFlight
Toki is distributed through Apple's App Store and TestFlight. Apple processes data for downloads and updates under its own responsibility. If you agreed in iOS to share analytics with app developers, Apple gives me anonymised crash reports and usage statistics. Feedback sent through TestFlight (text and screenshot) reaches me because you send it. I use this only to fix bugs.
8. Contact by e-mail
If you write to me, I process your message and address to answer and delete them once the request is settled. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
9. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). You can withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). An informal e-mail to the address above is enough.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): where data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you can object to this processing at any time.
You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.
