Privacy Policy

1. Who TEMPO is

TEMPO is a native kinetic time-art app, operated by Brainwave Projects 240 CC t/a Powered By (registration number 2001/069358/23), trading as Powered By, based in South Africa.

Registered address: 50 Venice Road, Windermere, Durban, South Africa
Contact: developer@poweredby.co.za

2. Information TEMPO does not require

The current launch app does not require you to provide:

• your name
• an email address
• a phone number
• your contacts
• precise location
• microphone access
• camera access
• health information
• social profile information

No account or sign-in is needed to use TEMPO. If future functionality explicitly introduces features that need any of the above, this policy will be updated before that functionality is relied upon.

3. Analytics

TEMPO uses privacy-limited product analytics to understand how the app is used and to improve performance and the product experience. Our current analytics provider is PostHog.

Analytics may include:

• app opens
• return sessions
• mode changes
• Store opens
• collection previews
• theme and artwork selections
• Countdown usage
• Ambient usage
• purchase-flow status
• app version
• platform

TEMPO does not intentionally send:

• names
• email addresses
• contact lists
• precise location
• message content
• transaction receipts
• payment credentials

Session Replay is not enabled for launch.

4. Purchases

TEMPO is free to use and may offer optional one-time in-app purchases, such as TEMPO Pro, Founder and individual collections. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. TEMPO does not directly process or store card or payment credentials.

Purchase entitlement verification may be handled through a specialised purchase-management service. Our current service is RevenueCat, which may process technical purchase and entitlement information required to verify ownership, restore purchases and reflect refunds or revocations. RevenueCat is entitlement infrastructure, not a payment card processor.

5. Local device data

TEMPO may store preferences locally on your device, such as:

• selected theme
• motion style
• palette
• display preferences
• Countdown presets
• locally cached entitlement state

Some local preferences may be deleted when the app is removed from your device.

6. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. However, no system or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.

7. Data retention

Information is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as required by law. Analytics and entitlement information are retained according to the configured settings of the relevant service provider and are deleted or aggregated when no longer needed.

8. International processing

Our service providers may process information in countries outside your own. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards available under applicable data protection law.

9. Children

TEMPO is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through account registration, because no account is currently required to use the app. If a parent or guardian believes information has been collected improperly, please contact developer@poweredby.co.za and we will look into it and act where appropriate.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access information we hold about you
• have inaccurate information corrected
• request deletion
• object to or ask us to restrict certain processing, where applicable
• complain to the relevant data protection authority

Because TEMPO does not maintain identifiable user accounts at launch, some requests may be limited: we may be unable to link a request to specific records. Requests may be sent to developer@poweredby.co.za.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as TEMPO develops. The latest effective date is always shown at the top of this page.
