Effective May 1, 2026
Countie ("the App") is built and operated by Filip Bukovina ("we", "us"). We respect your privacy and have designed Countie to keep as much of your data as possible on your own devices.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles, how that information is used, and the choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].
Countdown content. The countdowns you create — including titles, dates, notes, and accent colors — are stored on your device and, when iCloud is available, in your private iCloud database. We do not have access to this content.
Subscription state. When you subscribe to Countie Max, the App receives a subscription entitlement from Apple's StoreKit and from RevenueCat (our subscription infrastructure provider). This entitlement tells the App whether your subscription is active. We do not receive your payment details.
Diagnostic data. Countie does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. If you have opted in to share diagnostics with Apple in iOS Settings, Apple may share crash reports with us; those reports do not contain your countdown content.
Display your countdowns and milestones in the App, on your Lock Screen, and in widgets.
Synchronize your countdowns across devices signed into the same iCloud account.
Schedule local notifications on your device for upcoming milestones.
Validate your Countie Max subscription so paid features stay unlocked.
On-device storage. Your countdowns are stored locally on your device using Apple's standard data storage frameworks.
iCloud sync. When iCloud is available and signed in, your countdowns are synchronized through CloudKit to your private iCloud database. This database is owned by you under your Apple ID; we cannot read it.
App Group sharing. Countie shares data with its own widgets and Live Activities through an App Group container scoped to the App and its extensions. Nothing in this container leaves your device except via the iCloud sync described above.
Countie schedules milestone reminders (one month, one week, one day, and one hour before an event) as local notifications on your device. We do not operate a remote push server. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
Apple StoreKit handles all purchases and subscription billing. Your payment information is processed by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy.
RevenueCat provides the infrastructure that tells Countie whether your subscription is active. RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous identifier and your subscription transaction information from Apple. RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or countdown content. See RevenueCat's privacy policy for details.
Apple iCloud / CloudKit stores your synced countdowns under your Apple ID, governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Delete a countdown to remove it from this device and from your iCloud database.
Disable iCloud sync for Countie in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud to keep countdowns local-only.
Turn off notifications for Countie in iOS Settings → Notifications.
Manage or cancel your Countie Max subscription in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or in the App Store app.
Countie is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, surface the changes in the App.
