Privacy policy

1. Information used on your devices

The app processes your taps, key inputs, and practice responses to run its exercises. Depending on the mode, it saves information in app-private storage so you can continue practicing later. This can include:

• Input mode, playback speed, sound, visual, and other practice preferences.
• Level completion, checkpoints, ranks, points, and other saved game progress.
• Pattern Reactor learning profiles, including character performance, practice dates and duration, attempts, goals, and progress.
• The callsign you enter for simulated Field Exchange practice. A callsign can identify a person; you do not need to enter your real callsign to practice.

These records are used to provide the exercises, remember your choices, and adapt training. They are not sent to a developer-operated backend. The app generates its practice audio; it does not record your microphone or access your camera, contacts, or location.

2. Phone and Wear OS syncing

The Android app uses the Wear OS Data Layer, provided by Google Play services, to publish Pattern Reactor training profiles for compatible devices. If you install and use the companion app on a paired watch, profiles and their update timestamps can synchronize automatically between the phone and watch. Watch keying also sends dot/dash commands and delivery acknowledgments, using device/node identifiers and message sequence values.

This is a platform service, not a developer-operated server. Google’s Data Layer can transfer information over Bluetooth or route it through Google-owned servers when Bluetooth is unavailable. Google documents cloud Data Layer transfers as end-to-end encrypted. Google may process technical service information under its own policies.

See Google’s Wear OS Data Layer explanation and Google’s Privacy Policy. You do not need a companion watch app for phone-only practice.

3. Android backups and device transfers

Android backup is enabled in the phone and watch apps. Depending on your device, operating-system version, and backup settings, app settings and saved progress may be included in a Google or device-provider backup or transferred to another device. Backup storage, retention, and restoration are controlled by the relevant platform and your settings, not by an app backend we operate.

4. Advertising, analytics, and sharing

The app does not include advertising, third-party app analytics, or a developer-operated crash-reporting service. We do not sell or rent your practice records or use them to build advertising profiles. The platform services described above may handle data to provide syncing, backup, or distribution.

Google Play, Android, and your device provider may separately process installation, diagnostic, or service information under their own policies and your platform settings. This policy does not replace those policies.

5. Visiting this website

This website is hosted by Cloudflare Pages. Delivering and protecting a webpage requires Cloudflare to process technical request information, such as your IP address, requested URL, browser/request headers, and request time. Cloudflare may retain technical or security logs and use security cookies as part of providing its services. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

The website itself does not set tracking cookies, store visitor information in local storage, or include advertising, optional web-analytics scripts, third-party fonts, or embedded social-media widgets. If you follow an Instagram or other external link, that service’s privacy policy applies.

6. Contacting the developer

If you email us or send an Instagram message, we receive the contact information and message content you choose to share. We use that information to respond, provide support, and handle the issue you raised. Google/Gmail or Meta/Instagram also processes correspondence under its own policies.

We keep support correspondence as needed to resolve requests, handle related follow-up, or satisfy applicable legal obligations. You may request deletion of correspondence using the email address below. Please do not send passwords or other sensitive information.

7. Retention and deleting data

Saved practice information remains in app storage until you reset the relevant progress, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app. On most Android devices, you can clear it under Settings → Apps → Tappy Hour / tappyhour-CW → Storage → Clear storage; labels vary by device.

If you use both phone and watch apps, clear data on both devices. Clearing only one device does not necessarily remove synchronized copies, Data Layer service data, or platform backups; data can reappear through syncing or restoration. Manage backup copies and platform-service data through the relevant Google or device-provider settings and support options. We cannot remotely erase data held only on your devices or in platform-managed backups.

There is no app account to delete. To ask about deleting information you sent directly to the developer, email uzyrexthet@gmail.com.

8. Children’s privacy

The app does not require a personal profile or account, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to the developer through a support channel, please contact us so we can address it.

9. Security and policy changes

The app uses Android’s app-private storage, and the website is intended to be served over HTTPS. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

If the app’s data practices change, we will update this page and the date above. Any new collection or sharing should be reflected here and in the relevant store disclosures before the updated app is released.
