  • Preferred break duration (minimum and maximum)
  • Preferred days for breaks
  • Time windows for scheduling
  • Break name customization
  • Notification settings

2.3 Usage Analytics

We collect anonymized usage data to improve the app:

  • Break completion rates

This data is anonymized and cannot be linked back to you personally.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

Your preferences are stored locally on your device using encrypted storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly sync calendars.

  • No calendar data is cached or stored on external servers
