Work Capy — Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 28, 2026
Work Capy ("the app") is a focus timer published by Chinese Powered ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and by whom. The short version: we run no servers and hold no account data. Your sessions and stats stay on your device. The only data that leaves it goes to the advertising and purchase services described below, and none of it is tied to a name, email address or account — the app doesn't have those.
Data stored on your device only
Everything the app remembers — your focus history and session labels, a day-by-day record of your focus kept for about 400 days, Capy Coins, streaks, your daily goal and Pomodoro set, hats, outfits, decorations, scenes, season looks and themes, the name you give your capybara, and your settings — is saved in the app's local storage on your device. We never see it; it is not uploaded anywhere by us. Deleting the app deletes this data. (It may be included in your phone's own device backups, which follow your Apple or Google backup settings.)
The app has no accounts, no sign-in, and no user-generated content that anyone else can see. Session labels and your capybara's name are yours alone and never leave the device on their own. If you choose to share a card — after a session, at a milestone, or from your stats — the app hands an image to your phone's share sheet (on iOS with a line of text and a link to the app) and nothing more; where it goes from there is up to you.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app shows optional rewarded video ads served by Google AdMob. There are no banners and no interstitials: an ad only ever plays after you choose to watch one, and every place that offers an ad also offers a way through without it. When an ad is requested, Google's SDK may collect device information such as advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from it, and ad-interaction data, used for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention.
- Consent: where required (EEA/UK), Google's consent form is shown before any ad is served. Without consent, ads are non-personalized.
- On iOS, the app asks for App Tracking Transparency permission after the intro, the first time it is resting on one of its tabs with no session running; never during the intro or a session, and not at all if you own the Capy Pass, which has no ads. Ads use your device's advertising identifier only if you allow it there, and you can change your mind any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. From version 1.0.4, where Google's consent form applies it comes first, and if you decline personalized ads in it, the app doesn't ask about tracking at all.
- Where the consent form applies, the app's own Settings screen carries an "Ad privacy options" row that reopens it.

Purchases (App Store, Google Play and RevenueCat)
Everything sold in the app — the Capy Pass, profession themes and the optional coin packs — is bought through Apple's App Store or Google Play, and payment is handled entirely by them — we never see your payment details. The app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service, to confirm what you've bought and to restore it if you reinstall or change phones. RevenueCat receives:
- an anonymous app-user identifier generated on your device (not your name, email or store account);
- the purchase and restore transactions the store reports, and basic device and app details (platform, app version, country) needed to validate them;
- events about the optional rewarded ads — when one loads, is shown, is opened, or fails — together with the revenue estimate AdMob reports for that view. We use this to measure ad revenue alongside purchases; it contains no content about your focus sessions.
RevenueCat processes this on our behalf; see RevenueCat's privacy policy. Which products you own is also cached on your device so the app works offline.
Notifications
If you grant notification permission, the app schedules local, on-device notifications: one when your session finishes and one when a break ends; from version 1.0.4, a heads-up shortly after you leave the app mid-session, while there's still time to come back; and two optional reminders you turn on yourself, a daily nudge and a Sunday recap of your week (both off by default). No push-notification server is involved and no notification data leaves the device.
Analytics
The app contains no analytics service and does not track how you use it. The only usage events that leave the device are the ad events described above, sent to RevenueCat, and whatever Google's SDK collects when an ad is requested.
Contacting us
If you get in touch — by email, or from "Send feedback" in the app's Settings, which opens an email to us — we receive what you send, including your email address, and use it only to reply to you. That email ends with your app version and your phone's operating system version, to help us answer; you can delete that line before sending.
Children
Work Capy is a general-audience productivity app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your choices
- Ad personalization: your device's advertising-ID settings, plus the consent form where it applies (iOS: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking).
- Purchases: "Restore purchases" at the bottom of the app's store screen; for a copy or deletion of what RevenueCat holds under your anonymous id, email us and we'll action it with them.
- Notifications: turn them off in the app's Settings screen, or in your device settings.
- Local data: "Reset progress" in the app's Settings screen clears your coins (bought ones included), history, stats, streaks and everything earned in the Den, and keeps your settings, your capybara's name, the profession you picked and anything you bought. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your device.
Changes
If a future version changes any of the above, this policy will be updated before that version ships, with the date above revised.
