Privacy policy

Your data is never shared

1. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information, with or without personally identifying information. Furthermore, we will never share anonymized selections of your individual data. If we are required by law to disclose any of the information collected about you, we will attempt to provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email. We will independently object to overly broad requests for access to information about users of our site.
2. You can also delete your account at any time. Deleting your account permanently deletes all your data from our database.
3. We won't spam you. We might occasionally send one-time messages about important ManicTime news, improvements of the product and security enhancements. You will always be able to unsubscribe.
4. Sharing of data is controlled by the administrator of the account and by default does not allow anyone in the account access to your data. No one outside of your organization will have access to any of your data.

How do we protect your data?

1. Your data is always encrypted in transit. All requests with the ManicTime web app and client apps are encrypted with current best practice SSL configurations.
2. Your data is always encrypted at rest. All of our storage uses volume encryption.

What information does ManicTime collect? How is it used?

To provide certain features and a better user experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to location data.

1. Device usage information (only when the track applications feature is enabled) - ManicTime will collect history of foreground application name, start time of use, end time of use while the track applications feature is enabled. Collected data will be used to show history of your applications and total phone usage.

This log information is important for security, audit, quality improvement, as well as for monitoring the health of our service.
