Benthic

Draft. This is not Benthic's final privacy policy.

It is a placeholder so links from the app work. Parts marked TODO depend on decisions not made yet (accounts, billing, analytics) and on legal review.

Privacy Policy

Draft of 10 November 2026

Who we are

Benthic is a focus timer app for iOS and Android. TODO the legal name and address of the company or person responsible for your data.

Questions about privacy: support@benthicapp.com.

The waitlist on this website

If you join the waitlist we keep:

We use it to email you when Benthic is out. It is stored with Cloudflare, which hosts this site. TODO the email service used to send launch emails, once chosen.

To stop abuse, the sign-up form counts tries per network address for about 20 minutes. The address itself is not stored, only a one-way scrambled (hashed) form of it.

To leave the waitlist, email support@benthicapp.com. TODO an unsubscribe link once launch emails are set up.

In the app

TODO(accounts) what the app stores on your phone and what, if anything, leaves it: focus sessions, tags, collected species, settings. This depends on whether accounts and sync ship at launch.

TODO(accounts) what a Benthic account holds, and how deleting your account in the app removes it.

TODO analytics and crash reporting: whether any are used, which ones, and what they collect.

TODO notifications and app blocking (Strict mode): what permissions are asked for and why.

Payments

TODO(billing) Benthic Plus is bought through the App Store or Google Play. Describe what purchase information Benthic receives from them and what it keeps.

Your rights

TODO access, correction, deletion and export, how to ask, how long we keep data, and the rules that apply where you live. Needs legal review.

Changes

TODO how changes to this policy are announced, and the date the final version takes effect.
