Grudge Clock
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the “Grudge Clock” mobile application (the “App”) handles information. It applies to your use of the App. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Who we are
The App is provided by Built by Argo (“we”, “us”, “the developer”). You can contact us at builtbyargo@proton.me.
2. Information the App stores on your device
Everything you create in the App — grudge titles, optional notes, start dates, categories, heat levels, resolution dates, and your settings — is stored locally on your device only, using the device’s on-device storage. This information is not transmitted to us and is not backed up to any server we control.
- We do not require or offer an account, login, or sign-up.
- We do not sync your grudges to the cloud.
- We cannot read, access, or recover the content you create.
- If you use the App’s export feature, a file is created and shared only where you choose to send it. What happens to that file afterwards is your responsibility.
3. Information collected automatically (advertising & services)
The App may include the Google AdMob advertising SDK and relies on Google Play services. These third-party components — not the developer — may automatically collect or process limited technical information to operate, prevent fraud, and (when enabled) serve and measure ads, including:
- a device advertising identifier (Advertising ID);
- approximate, non-precise device and usage information such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address, and general region; and
- ad interaction and diagnostic data.
This processing is carried out by Google under its own policies. We do not receive your individual identity from these services. For details, see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can reset or limit your Advertising ID in your device settings.
Note: advertising may be turned off in the current version of the App. Even so, the advertising SDK may be present, which is why it is disclosed here.
4. Notifications
If you enable milestone or daily reminders, the App schedules local notifications on your device. These are generated on your device from your own data; their content is not sent to us. You can turn notifications off at any time in the App’s settings or your device settings.
5. We do not sell your data
We do not sell your personal information and we do not run our own analytics or tracking inside the App. Any data processing is limited to the third-party services described in Section 3, operating under their own terms.
6. Children
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, contact us and we will address it.
7. Your choices and rights
- Delete your data: use “Clear all resolved” or “Clear everything” in Settings, or uninstall the App, to remove the data stored on your device.
- Advertising controls: reset or opt out of personalized ads via your device’s Advertising ID / privacy settings.
- Notifications: disable them in the App or device settings.
- Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have additional rights regarding data processed by the third-party services above. Those rights are exercised through, and governed by, those providers’ policies.
8. Data retention and security
Because your grudge data lives on your device, it remains there until you delete it or uninstall the App. We take no responsibility for backing up your data — that is up to you. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. You use the App entirely at your own risk.
The App is a simple, novelty record-keeping tool. It is not medical, psychological, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and must not be relied on as such. You are solely responsible for the content you create, for the decisions and actions you take (or don’t take), for any consequences in your relationships or otherwise, and for maintaining your own backups.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of records, loss of profits, distress, or any other loss or damage whatsoever arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is limited to the minimum amount permitted, and in any case to the greater of the amount you paid for the App or USD 0.
You agree to use the App in compliance with all applicable laws, and you accept full responsibility for your use of it.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of warranties or liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in this Policy limits rights that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
10. Third-party services
- Google AdMob — data practices
- Google Play services — Google Privacy Policy
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when the updated version is posted, with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Policy.
