Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Tempo is a Mac menu bar app that logs your work sessions to Google Calendar. It was built as a passion project — if you have feedback, thoughts, or ideas, I'd genuinely love to hear from you at sulakshanasurya@gmail.com.
This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and your rights.
1. What we collect
- Email address — collected when you download the app via the landing page. Stored in our database solely as a download record.
- Google OAuth tokens — stored locally on your Mac in
~/Library/Application Support/time-tracker/. These tokens are never transmitted to our servers. - Calendar event data — session names, start times, and end times are sent directly from your device to Google Calendar via the Google Calendar API. We do not store or see this data.
2. What we do not collect
- We do not read, access, or store any existing Google Calendar events.
- We do not collect analytics, crash reports, or usage data.
- We do not sell or share your data with any third party.
3. Google Calendar API usage
Tempo requests only the calendar.events scope to create calendar events on your behalf. The app uses this permission solely to write new session events — it does not read, modify, or delete any of your existing calendar events.
Tempo's use of data received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is not used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond the core app functionality described in this policy.
4. Data storage
Your OAuth tokens and email are stored locally on your device. Your download email is stored securely in our Supabase database and is used only to keep a record of downloads. We will never send you unsolicited emails.
5. Deleting your data
You can disconnect your Google account at any time from the Settings screen inside Tempo. This permanently deletes your stored OAuth tokens and email from your device. To request deletion of your download record from our database, email sulakshanasurya@gmail.com.
6. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "last updated" date.
