Shabbos Countdown is a simple utility app that displays the remaining time until Shabbos candle-lighting and Havdalah. We value your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding how information is handled.
The free version of Shabbos Countdown does not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information. It may access publicly available zmanim (Jewish time) data from trusted sources such as MyZmanim, which do not identify individual users.
If you use a future premium feature that automatically detects your location, the app may temporarily access your approximate or precise device location only to determine your local candle-lighting and Havdalah times. This information is processed locally on your device, never stored or transmitted, and never shared with third parties.
| Permission | Purpose | Shared or Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| Internet Access | To load updated zmanim data and stream optional Shabbos music. | ❌ No |
| Location Access (Premium / Optional) | To automatically determine your nearest city for correct zmanim. | ❌ No |
| Notifications (optional) | To alert you before candle-lighting or Havdalah. | ❌ No |
Shabbos Countdown does not use the Google Advertising ID or any other advertising or tracking identifiers. The app does not contain third-party ads or analytics tools.
Shabbos Countdown does not share any user data with third parties.
The app is suitable for general audiences and does not target or collect data from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted at this same location with a new “Last Updated” date.
