Privacy Policy

2. Information Handled by Oarfe

The app uses the following information on your device to provide its features:

• Shift dates, regular hours, overtime, allowances, deductions, settlement status, notes, and tags that you enter.
• Photos you take or select and voice notes you record as attachments to work records.
• Pay rates, currency, attendance-cycle settings, shift presets, adjustment templates, and display preferences.
• A clock-in time when you start the timer, and a saved preference indicating whether you have entered the app.
• Planned shift titles, dates, start and end times, unpaid break durations, repeat weekdays, occurrence exceptions, and schedule notes.
• Active and completed timer start and end times, break timestamps, daily regular and overtime allocations, notes, and links to planned occurrences.
• Pay-period dates, saved expected-pay snapshots, review timestamps, change-detection fingerprints, and payment dates, amounts, and notes you enter manually. The app does not connect to your bank or employer.

Continuing into Oarfe does not require a name, email address, or password. If you choose to email support, we receive your sender address, message, and any attachments you send. Online page requests are described in Section 5.

3. How We Use Information

The app uses your entries on your device to plan shifts, track work and unpaid breaks, suggest regular and overtime allocations, compare plans with recorded work, calculate estimated earnings, show filtered reports, and compare saved pay expectations with payments you record. It also remembers preferences and prepares CSV exports and JSON backups. Change-detection fingerprints are calculated locally from records and pay settings to indicate when a pay snapshot needs review; they are not uploaded to us. We use information you choose to send to support to answer your request.

When you choose to add a photo or voice note, Oarfe requests camera or microphone access as needed. The iOS photo picker lets you select individual photos without granting Oarfe access to your entire photo library. Attachments are stored on your device and are not automatically uploaded to us or saved to your photo library.

4. Records, Exports, and Backup Restore

Saved shifts and settings remain on your device so you can review them again. Oarfe does not provide an app-operated cloud backup or sync service.

Choosing Export CSV in Reports copies the selected records as CSV text to the system clipboard. It does not upload a file or send the records to an employer. If you paste the text into another app or share it yourself, that destination handles the copy under its own terms and privacy policy. Device features such as Universal Clipboard may also handle clipboard contents according to your system settings.

Save / share CSV and Save / share backup prepare a temporary file on your device and open the iOS share sheet. You choose whether and where to save or send it, including a third-party app or a storage provider available through iOS. Those destinations and providers handle the copy under their own policies and may use a network connection. Oarfe does not automatically send these files to us. The app removes its temporary share file when iOS reports that the operation finished or was cancelled. If the app was interrupted before that callback, it attempts to remove abandoned export files on the next launch.

A JSON backup contains daily work records, their photo and voice-note attachments, schedules, completed timer history, pay snapshots, manually entered payments, rates, templates, tags, and preferences. It excludes the current timer, pending timer review, and app-entry or consent status. Backups and CSV files are not encrypted by Oarfe; protect them from unauthorized access.

Restore JSON backup opens the iOS document picker and reads the file you select, without requesting general access to your files. The app validates the backup and displays a preview before asking you to replace local data. Confirming restore replaces records and settings rather than merging them and discards any current timer or pending review. No backup is uploaded to Oarfe. Local restore is not an app-operated cloud sync or recovery service.

5. Online Pages and Support

Opening Terms or Privacy in Oarfe loads an online page in an embedded browser and requires an internet connection. The website hosting service receives your IP address and standard request information, such as the requested page and browser information, to deliver the page. Your saved work records and pay settings are not included in these requests.

Support is provided by email. Include only the information needed to explain your question, and avoid sending unnecessary financial details or information about other people.

6. Sharing and Service Providers

We do not receive or sell the work records stored in the app. Website hosting services process online page requests, and email services handle messages you choose to send to support. Those services process the information needed to deliver pages and correspondence. We may disclose information we hold when required by applicable law.

7. Data Retention

Your records and preferences remain in the app until you remove them. Logging out keeps them for your next visit. Removing an attachment or its work record removes the corresponding local attachment once no other work record uses it. Settings > Delete account clears saved work records and attachments and resets preferences on the current device.

Delete account also clears schedules, timer state and history, pay snapshots, and payment entries. Removing a daily Calendar record does not remove its original timer-history entry or a saved pay snapshot; a snapshot whose source records change is flagged for recheck. Discard timer removes the current timer without adding work hours. Schedules, pay periods, and payment entries have their own removal controls.

Copies you have exported, pasted into other apps, or included in device backups are controlled separately. Deleting records in Oarfe does not delete those copies. Device backup retention is managed through your device and backup-service settings.

Restoring a previously saved JSON backup can bring back records you deleted after that backup was created. Delete unwanted exported files and provider-held copies separately.

Support correspondence is retained only as needed to handle the request and meet applicable legal obligations. You can contact us about deletion of information you have sent to support. Website hosting services may retain operational request logs under their retention practices; these logs do not contain your saved shift records.

8. Your Rights and Choices

• Edit or delete individual shifts from the Calendar.
• Use Reports > Export CSV to copy records for your own use.
• Use Settings > Delete account and confirm deletion to clear your saved records and reset the app on this device. Log out alone does not erase records.
• Contact support@Oarfe.com to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you have sent us, subject to applicable law.

We cannot retrieve or remotely delete records held only on your device. Protect access to your device and keep any copies you need before deleting records.

9. Children's Privacy

Oarfe is intended for people managing their work hours and is not directed to children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to support, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate. Records entered only on a device can be removed using the controls above.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the policy date and publishing the revised version on this page.
