Privacy at Adventure Apps, LLC

Our privacy vision

Timesewn Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Timesewn app ("Timesewn," "the app," "we," "us") handles your information, on the iOS, Android, and macOS versions. Timesewn is designed to keep your data on your device. Where the app works differently between platforms, that's called out below.

Summary

Timesewn does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data through the app itself. The information the app uses — your location and your alarms on iOS and Android, and your tracked cities and reminders on macOS — stays on your device. We do not operate servers that receive your data, and we do not use third-party analytics or advertising. Timesewn on Mac has no network access at all.

The one exception is if you choose to contact us. If you use the in-app email link to send feedback or request support, you will be sending us an email directly, and we will receive the information you include in it — see "If you contact us" below.

Information the app uses

Location

With your permission, Timesewn uses your device's location to determine your current timezone, so the app can show your local time and calculate time differences for alarms you set in other timezones. Your location is used on the device only. It is not stored on or sent to any server operated by us or any third party. If you deny or revoke location access, you can still use the app by selecting your timezone manually.

Alarms, cities, and settings

The alarms you create on iOS and Android — including times, timezones, labels, repeat days, and selected sounds — are stored locally on your device so the app can function. On macOS, the cities you track, any custom labels you give them, your reminders, and your settings are likewise stored locally. None of this information is transmitted off the device by the app.

System alarm and reminder scheduling

When you create an alarm (iOS and Android) or a reminder (macOS), the app registers it with the operating system's alarm and notification facilities so it can alert you at the chosen time.

App permissions

Beyond location, each platform requires a few additional permissions so alarms can reliably wake you. None of these permissions cause Timesewn to send your data off the device.

If you contact us

Timesewn includes a "Contact Us" link that opens a pre-addressed email in your device's mail app. This feature is optional and is only used if you choose to email us. If you do, you are sending information to us directly by email, and we will receive whatever that email contains — typically your name (as configured in your mail app), your email address, and the contents of your message, including any details you choose to provide about your device, your feedback, or a support issue. We use this information solely to read and respond to your message. We do not use it for advertising, tracking, or profiling, and we do not sell it. Your email is handled by your email provider and ours, each under its own privacy policy. Please don't include sensitive personal information in your message that isn't needed to help you.

How your information is used

The information above is used solely to provide the app's core features: displaying local and target-timezone times, and scheduling and delivering the alarms you set. It is not used for advertising, tracking, or profiling.

Sharing with third parties

Timesewn does not share your data with third parties for their own purposes. The app does not collect your data off the device, and we do not integrate third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking SDKs. If you email us (see "If you contact us"), your message is necessarily handled by the email providers that carry it, but we do not otherwise share its contents.

Data retention and deletion

Because your data is stored only on your device, you control it directly. You can delete individual alarms, cities, and reminders within the app at any time, and you can remove all app data by deleting the app from your device. On iOS and Android, revoking location permission in your device's Settings stops the app's access to your location immediately.

If you have emailed us, we keep that correspondence only as long as needed to address your request and for our reasonable records, and you can ask us to delete it by contacting us at the address below.

Children's privacy

Timesewn is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

BarMe Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the BarMe app ("BarMe," "the app," "we," "us") handles your information. BarMe is designed to keep your data on your device.

Summary

BarMe does not collect your personal data, and it does not use advertising or tracking. Your location and the venues you favorite stay on your device. There are two limited exceptions, both described below:

• Community popularity. If "Help improve rankings" is on (it is on by default, and you can turn it off in Settings), then when you favorite a venue the app sends an anonymous "+1" for that venue to our ranking service, so popular places rank a little higher for everyone. We store a count per venue — never who favorited it. There is no account, no name, and no location in this signal, and it is never used to identify or track you.
• If you contact us. If you use the in-app email link, you send us an email directly and we receive what it contains.

Information the app uses

Location

With your permission, BarMe uses your device's location, while you are using the app, to find nearby venues (bars, breweries, wine bars, sports bars, lounges, and clubs) and to center the map. On iOS, this is handled by Apple's on-device frameworks. On Android, your approximate location is sent to our venue provider (Foursquare) to fetch nearby results. Either way, we do not store your location on any server we operate, and it is not used to identify you.

On Android, location is optional: if you prefer not to share device location (or turn it off), you can set a location by hand. The place you type — for example, a city, neighborhood, address, or ZIP — is sent to a geocoding service to convert it into approximate coordinates: your device's built-in geocoder or, as a fallback, OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service. Those coordinates are then used the same way as a GPS location, and your chosen place is stored only on your device. If you neither allow location nor set one manually, the app can't show nearby venues.

Favorites

Venues you favorite — including their name and location — are stored locally on your device so they appear under Favorites. This information is not transmitted off the device by the app.

Community popularity (favorites)

BarMe includes an optional feature, "Help improve rankings," that is on by default and can be turned off anytime in Settings. When it is on and you favorite (or un-favorite) a venue, the app sends an anonymous signal to our ranking service — the venue's identifier and a +1 (or −1) — so that popular venues rank slightly higher for everyone. What this does and does not involve:

• We store only a count per venue. We do not store, and the signal does not include, your name, your account (there is none), your device identifier, or your location.
• To keep counts honest without identifying you, the app uses a device-integrity check — Apple's App Attest on iOS, or Google's Play Integrity on Android — to prove the request comes from a genuine copy of BarMe. This checks the app, not the person. On Android, the app also generates a random, anonymous identifier used only to rate-limit these signals; it is not derived from your device or you, and is not linked to any personal data.
• The service is hosted on Cloudflare on our behalf. We do not log or retain the IP addresses of these requests.
• The signal is never used for advertising, tracking, or profiling, and it is not linked to you.

If you turn "Help improve rankings" off, the app sends no such signals.

Venue search, maps, and directions

BarMe finds nearby venues, shows them on a map, and hands off to a maps app when you request directions. On iOS this is powered by Apple's MapKit and Apple Maps. On Android, venue results come from Foursquare, maps are drawn with OpenStreetMap, and directions open in whichever maps app you choose (such as Google Maps). To return nearby results, your approximate coordinates and the category you tapped are sent to the venue provider. Each of these providers processes the request under its own privacy policy, and venue details come from them and may be incomplete or out of date.

If you contact us

BarMe includes a "Contact Us" link that opens a pre-addressed email in your device's mail app. This feature is optional and is only used if you choose to email us. If you do, you are sending information to us directly by email, and we will receive whatever that email contains — typically your name (as configured in your mail app), your email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to read and respond to your message. We do not use it for advertising, tracking, or profiling, and we do not sell it. Your email is handled by your email provider and ours, each under its own privacy policy. Please don't include sensitive personal information in your message that isn't needed to help you.

In-app purchases (optional "tip jar")

BarMe offers an optional "tip jar" on both iOS and Android, so you can support the developer if you'd like. Any tip is processed by the platform's app store — Apple's App Store on iOS, or Google Play on Android — under Apple's or Google's own privacy policy; we receive only confirmation that a purchase completed, never your payment card or billing details. Tipping is entirely optional and unlocks no features.

How your information is used

The information above is used solely to provide the app's core features: finding nearby venues, showing them on a map, offering directions via your maps app, and saving your favorites. It is not used for advertising, tracking, or profiling.

Sharing with third parties

BarMe does not share your personal data with third parties for their own purposes, and we do not integrate advertising networks or tracking SDKs. We use a few service providers that process data on our behalf or to deliver a feature you request: Apple (MapKit and Apple Maps power venue search and directions, and the App Store processes any optional tip, on iOS), Foursquare (venue search on Android), OpenStreetMap (map tiles on Android, and geocoding a manually set location), your chosen maps app (directions), Google (the device geocoder for a manually set location, Play Integrity anti-abuse checks, and Google Play for any optional tip), and Cloudflare (hosts the anonymous community-popularity counter described above), each under its own privacy policy. If you email us, your message is necessarily handled by the email providers that carry it, but we do not otherwise share its contents.

Data retention and deletion

Your personal data is stored only on your device, so you control it directly. You can remove individual favorites within the app at any time, and you can remove all app data by deleting the app from your device. Revoking location permission in your device's Settings stops the app's access to your location immediately.

The community-popularity counts are aggregate, per-venue totals that are not tied to you and cannot be traced back to you, so there is nothing personal to delete from them. Turning off "Help improve rankings" in Settings stops your device from contributing any further signals.

If you have emailed us, we keep that correspondence only as long as needed to address your request and for our reasonable records, and you can ask us to delete it by contacting us at the address below.

Children's privacy

BarMe is intended for adults of legal drinking age and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

Portell Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Portell app ("Portell," "the app," "we," "us") handles your information, on the iOS, Android, and macOS versions. Portell is a private journal designed to keep your data on your device. Where the app works differently between platforms, that's called out below.

Summary

Portell has no account, no ads, and no trackers. You don't sign in to use it. Everything you put in the app — your journal entries, any photos you attach, and your first name — stays on your device by default. The app does not operate any server that receives your data, and it uses no third-party analytics or advertising. Portell on Mac has no network access at all; on iPhone and Mac, anything that leaves the device goes only through iCloud, which Apple handles on your behalf. The only ways your data leaves the device are ones you start yourself: turning on iCloud (on iOS and macOS) or Android's backup, exporting your journal, or emailing us.

Portell on iPhone and Portell on Mac are separate apps that can share one journal through your own private iCloud storage. That sharing is between your own devices only — we are never a party to it, and we never receive your entries or photos.

Information the app uses

Your journal entries

The lines you write, together with their date and time, are stored on your device so they appear in your journal. They are not transmitted off the device by the app unless you turn on iCloud or Android backup (below) or export them yourself.

Photos you attach

If you attach a photo to an entry, Portell copies it into the app's own storage on your device. The app does not browse, catalog, or upload your photo library. Attached photos are treated the same as your entries — kept on device, included in iCloud or a cloud backup only if you enable it, and included in an export only when you run one.

Your name

The first name you enter is stored on your device and used only to greet you on the home screen and to title your exports (for example, "[your name]'s Portell Journal"). It is not transmitted off the device by the app.

iCloud sync and cloud backup (optional)

Portell keeps your journal on your device unless you turn on iCloud or your platform's cloud backup. If you do, your entries and photos are stored in your own private cloud account, accessible only to you. We do not operate that storage, cannot see its contents, and never receive your entries or photos.

On iPhone and Mac, this is what lets one journal appear on both: each app reads and writes the same private iCloud storage under your own Apple Account, so a line you write on one device shows up on the other. Nothing is shared with anyone else, and no copy is sent to us. Turn iCloud off and each app simply keeps its journal on that device.

Biometric unlock (optional)

You can optionally lock Portell with your device's biometrics — Face ID or Touch ID on iOS, fingerprint/face unlock on Android, or Touch ID on a Mac that has it. This uses the operating system's on-device authentication; the app is only told whether authentication succeeded. Your biometric data is handled entirely by the operating system, never leaves your device, and is never accessed by or shared with us.

Daily reminder (optional)

If you turn on the daily reminder, Portell schedules a local notification on your device at the time you choose. The reminder is generated on the device; no reminder data is sent to us or anyone else.

Exports

When you export your journal to a spreadsheet or PDF file, the file is created on your device — and handed to your device's share sheet on iOS and Android, or written to the folder you pick in the save panel on macOS — so you can save or send it wherever you choose. The export is not sent to us; where it goes next is up to you.

If you contact us

Portell includes a "Contact Us" link that opens a pre-addressed email in your device's mail app. This is optional and only used if you choose to email us. If you do, you send the message to us directly and we will receive whatever it contains — typically your name, your email address, and the contents of your message. We use it solely to read and respond to you, never for advertising, tracking, or profiling, and we do not sell it. Please don't include sensitive information that isn't needed to help you.

How your information is used

The information above is used solely to provide the app's features: saving and showing your one-a-day entries, attaching photos, greeting you by name, titling your exports, reminding you if you ask, and locking the app if you ask. It is not used for advertising, tracking, or profiling.

Sharing with third parties

Portell does not share your personal data with third parties for their own purposes, and it integrates no advertising networks or tracking SDKs. Portell uses no third-party services to function. The only external service involved is Apple's or Google's cloud storage — Apple's iCloud on iOS and macOS, or Google's Android backup on Android — and only if you turn it on, which stores your data in your own account under Apple's or Google's privacy policy. If you email us, your message is necessarily handled by the email providers that carry it, but we do not otherwise share its contents.

Data retention and deletion

Your data is stored on your device, so you control it directly. You can delete any individual entry within the app, and you can remove all app data by deleting the app from your device. If you enabled iCloud or cloud backup, your data is also in your own cloud account — iCloud (iOS and macOS) or your Google account (Android) — where you can manage or delete it through Apple's or Google's tools. Because Portell on iPhone and Portell on Mac share one iCloud journal, deleting an entry on either device removes it from both. Revoking photo access in your device's Settings stops the app's access immediately.

If you have emailed us, we keep that correspondence only as long as needed to address your request and for our reasonable records, and you can ask us to delete it by contacting us at the address below.

Children's privacy

Portell is a general-audience journaling app and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
