Chronaya Privacy Policy

Chronaya is developed and operated by Ahmet Burhan Kayalı under the name ABK Works (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use Chronaya. Chronaya is designed as a local-first application: your records and attachments are stored on your device and are not uploaded to servers operated by us.

1. Privacy Overview

Chronaya:

• does not require a Chronaya account;
• does not synchronize your records or attachments to our servers;
• does not contain advertising;
• does not use behavioral analytics or cross-app tracking;
• does not use third-party crash-reporting services;
• schedules deadline reminders locally through your device; and
• may offer optional paid features through a one-time app-store purchase that does not automatically renew.

Information may leave Chronaya only when required for a feature you choose to use, such as completing an optional app-store purchase, exporting or sharing a backup, opening an external link, or contacting support.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

Depending on the features you use, Chronaya may store the following information locally:

• record titles, categories, notes, dates, prices, currencies, and recurrence details;
• warranty, return, subscription, document, insurance, vehicle, and other deadline information;
• reminder schedules and notification preferences;
• images and PDF files you select or capture;
• archived-record information;
• cancellation and avoided-payment information used for savings estimates;
• language, appearance, date format, currency, onboarding, and other App preferences;
• backup and restore information; and
• locally cached purchase information used to determine whether paid features are available.

This information is processed on your device to provide the App’s features. We do not receive or maintain a remote copy of your Chronaya records, attachments, settings, or backup files.

Chronaya does not require you to provide your name, email address, or other contact information to use the App.

3. How Information Is Used

Information stored locally is used to:

• create, display, edit, archive, restore, and delete records;
• organize deadlines by date or urgency;
• schedule and manage reminders;
• display attachments and saved links;
• update recurring dates;
• calculate savings estimates based on information you provide;
• determine whether optional paid features are available;
• create and restore backups; and
• remember your preferences.

Chronaya does not use your local content for advertising, marketing profiles, behavioral profiling, sale to third parties, or automated decisions about you.

4. Permissions and Notifications

Chronaya requests permissions only when needed for a feature you choose to use.

Notifications and alarms

Chronaya may request permission to display local notifications. Reminder content is created from information stored on your device. Chronaya does not use a remote push-notification server for deadline reminders.

On supported Android devices, Chronaya may request access to schedule exact alarms. Without this access, reminders may be delivered less precisely depending on the operating system.

You can deny or revoke notification permissions in your device settings. The App will remain usable, but reminders may not appear.

Photos, files, and camera

When you select an image or PDF, Chronaya receives only the item you choose through the system picker. Chronaya does not require continuous access to your full photo library or file system.

When you take a photo through Chronaya, camera access may be requested. The saved photo is copied into the App’s private storage. Chronaya does not manage or delete the original files or photos stored outside the App.

Permission names and behavior may vary by platform, device, and operating-system version.

5. Backups, Sharing, and External Services

Chronaya can create ZIP backup files containing your records and readable attachments stored in the App. Files that are unavailable, unreadable, unsupported, or stored outside Chronaya may be skipped.

Backup files may contain sensitive personal, financial, insurance, identity-document, receipt, or household information.

Chronaya does not automatically upload backups to us. However:

• backups saved in accessible folders may be available to anyone with access to your device or files;
• backups shared through email, cloud storage, messaging, or another app are handled by that service;
• deleting information inside Chronaya does not delete backups you previously exported; and
• exported backup ZIP files are not protected by additional Chronaya-specific encryption.

Chronaya also allows you to open links, telephone numbers, files, and sharing interfaces through other apps or websites. Once you use another service, its own privacy policy and terms apply.

We are not responsible for the data practices, security, availability, or content of third-party apps and services you choose to use.

6. App-Store Purchases

Chronaya may offer optional paid features through a one-time, non-consumable purchase on Google Play for Android or the Apple App Store for iOS. This purchase does not automatically renew.

Google or Apple processes the payment and may collect information such as payment details, purchase history, store-account identifiers, tax information, device information, and fraud-prevention information under its own policies.

Chronaya receives limited purchase information needed to:

• display product availability and the current store price;
• start and complete a purchase;
• determine whether paid features should be available;
• restore a previous purchase; and
• respond when a purchase is refunded, reversed, revoked, or found invalid.

The price displayed by the applicable app store may change over time, including for new users or future purchases. Pricing changes are managed through the applicable store and do not cause an existing completed one-time purchase to renew automatically.

Chronaya does not receive your full payment-card details. Your records and attachments are not included in purchase checks.

Restore Purchases restores eligible paid-feature access when the applicable app store confirms a valid purchase. It does not restore your records, attachments, settings, or backup files.

7. Support Communications

Chronaya does not require your contact information. However, if you contact us, we may receive:

• your name and email address;
• the contents of your message;
• screenshots or files you choose to send;
• purchase or order details you choose to provide; and
• App, device, or operating-system information provided for troubleshooting.

We use this information to respond to your request, investigate problems, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and maintain necessary business records.

Support communications are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or as required by law.

Do not send passwords, full payment-card details, sensitive identity documents, or unnecessary personal information in support messages.

8. Retention, Security, and Your Rights

Your records, attachments, settings, and related information remain on your device until you delete them, clear the App’s data, uninstall the App, or erase the device.

Deleting information inside Chronaya does not delete original files stored outside the App or backups you previously exported.

Chronaya does not add application-level encryption beyond the protections provided by your device and operating system. Exported backup ZIP files also do not use additional Chronaya-specific encryption.

You are responsible for:

• using a secure device lock;
• keeping your device and operating system updated;
• protecting exported backups;
• avoiding unnecessary storage of highly sensitive information; and
• removing data before selling or transferring your device.

No storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that locally stored or exported information will never be accessed, lost, damaged, or corrupted.

Because we do not maintain a database containing your Chronaya records or attachments, we generally cannot view, retrieve, correct, export, or delete that content for you.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning information we actually hold, such as support communications. These may include rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, subject to applicable law.

Google, Apple, support providers, and third-party services you choose to use may process information in countries other than your own under their respective policies and safeguards.

9. Children’s Privacy

Chronaya is a general-purpose productivity application and is not specifically designed for children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through Chronaya. A parent or legal guardian should supervise a child’s use of the App, particularly when records or attachments may contain sensitive information.

10. Changes and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy when Chronaya, applicable law, app-store requirements, or our data practices change.

The updated version will display a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the App, the app-store listing, release notes, or the Chronaya website.

For additional rules governing your use of Chronaya, please review the Chronaya Terms of Service.
