Turnavo Privacy Policy

Turnavo (the “App”) is a shift calendar and pay-estimate app for iOS and Android published by Next Chapter Software SRL, Romania (“we”, “us”). We are the controller of any personal data described in this policy.

Contact: vlad@nextchapter.ro

The App has no accounts and no sign-up. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone or location.

The shifts, notes and pay settings you enter are stored only on your phone. We cannot see them and they are not uploaded to our servers.

The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob, and purchases are handled by Apple, Google and RevenueCat. These third parties process some technical data, described below.

Your shift types, shifts, day notes, pay settings (including the hourly rate you enter), region and display preferences are saved in a local database on your phone so the App works offline. Notes can contain anything you type, including sensitive information; they never leave your phone unless you choose to export or share them.

Uninstalling the App deletes this data. Backups made by Apple (iCloud) or Google may include the App’s data according to your own device settings; we do not control those backups.

You can delete everything at any time from Settings → Delete all data.

With “Back up now” and the export features (PDF, calendar file, spreadsheet) the App creates a file and opens your system share sheet. You decide where it goes (for example iCloud Drive, Google Drive or an email to yourself). We do not receive it.

With Pro, “Automatic backup” saves one backup file per day in the App’s private storage on your phone and keeps the latest 7. These files stay on your phone (and in your phone’s own iCloud or Google backup, if you use one). We do not receive them.

If you turn on Calendar sync, the App asks for permission to access your calendars. It then adds events with the shift name and start/end times to a calendar on your phone (a new calendar called “Turnavo” or one you choose). Your notes and pay information are never added.

That calendar may be synchronised by your own calendar account (for example iCloud or Google) according to your settings. We never receive calendar data. Turning Calendar sync off removes the events the App added. You can also withdraw the permission at any time in your phone’s settings.

Shift reminders are local notifications scheduled on your phone; there is no push notification server and nothing is sent to us.

Home-screen and lock-screen widgets show your next shift from data prepared on your phone and stored on your phone.

The free version shows banner ads from Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process your device’s advertising identifier, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and app information, and ad interaction data.

Where required by law (for example in the EEA and the UK), the App shows a consent form from Google’s User Messaging Platform before any ad is requested. If you decline, no ad is loaded. On iOS the App requests only non-personalized ads and does not track you across other apps and websites.

You can change your consent choice from the privacy options in the App where shown, and through your device settings (for example, resetting or limiting your advertising ID).

Google’s use of data is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and in the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

People who buy Pro see no ads, and the ad SDK is not started for them.

The optional Pro upgrade is a one-time purchase processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.

We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and restore them on a new device. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier, your purchase and entitlement status, and technical information such as device type and country. We do not link it to your name or email. See https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

We do not use analytics or crash-reporting services at this time, we do not collect your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera data, and we do not create profiles about you. If this changes, we will update this policy before the change takes effect.

Advertising data is processed on the basis of your consent, collected through the consent form described above. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Purchase validation is processed to perform the contract with you (providing the features you bought). Basic technical processing needed to run the App is based on our legitimate interest in providing a working service.

Data you enter in the App is processed on your phone, under your control, to provide the App’s functions.

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the service providers named in this policy (Google, RevenueCat, Apple) and only as needed for ads and purchases.

These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Data on your phone stays there until you delete it or uninstall the App. Data held by Google, Apple and RevenueCat is kept according to their own retention policies. We do not keep a separate copy of your shifts, notes or pay settings.

Under the GDPR (and similar laws) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time.

Because your shift data stays on your phone, you can delete it yourself in the App or by uninstalling it, and export it with the backup and export features. For data held by a third party (for example ad or purchase data), write to vlad@nextchapter.ro and we will help you exercise your rights or point you to the right provider.

You can also complain to your local data protection authority. In Romania this is ANSPDCP, www.dataprotection.ro.

The App is intended for people of working age and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact vlad@nextchapter.ro.

Your data stays on your phone, which keeps the amount of data at risk small. Communication with ad and purchase providers uses encrypted connections. Protect your phone with a passcode and keep backups in a place you trust.

We may update this policy when the App changes. The current version is always available at this address, with the date of the latest update shown at the top of the page.
