Privacy Policy
Last updated September 28, 2026
The short version: How Many Times doesn't have accounts, doesn't run ads or analytics, and doesn't send your data to us. Your counters live on your device and, if you turn on sync or sharing, in your own iCloud account.
What we collect
We don't collect any personal information. How Many Times doesn't require an account, doesn't ask for your name or email, and doesn't include advertising or analytics SDKs of any kind.
Where your data lives
The counters, counts, and notes you create are stored locally on your device. If you're a Premium subscriber and turn on iCloud sync, that same data is also stored in your own private iCloud account, using Apple's CloudKit service. We do not have a server, and we cannot see, access, or download this data — it only ever moves between your devices via your iCloud account.
Shared counters
Premium subscribers can share a counter with up to four other people. When you do, the shared counter and everyone's entries are stored in a CloudKit share, which Apple's infrastructure keeps visible only to the people you've invited. We never receive a copy of this data. Leaving a shared counter, or the owner ending the share, removes it from that person's device; your own private counter is never affected.
Subscriptions and payment
Premium subscriptions are billed and processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details — Apple handles that in line with their own privacy policy.
App Lock
If you turn on Face ID or a passcode to lock the app, that authentication is handled entirely by iOS on your device using Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. We never see or store your biometric data or passcode.
Notifications
The app uses Apple's silent (background) push notifications so that changes to a shared counter can sync in without you having to open the app. These are not visible notifications and are not used for marketing.
Children's privacy
How Many Times is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, regardless of age — the app simply doesn't collect information in the first place.
Deleting your data
Since your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud account, deleting a counter in the app removes it from both. Deleting the app removes its local data from your device; you can also remove its iCloud data from your device's Settings app under your Apple ID.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
