XTimers Privacy Choices
XTimers provides separate controls for Xin Account identity, XTimers product data, synchronization, alarms, permissions, automatic activity tracking, calendar access, reports, diagnostics, and SMS. This page explains what each choice does.
Sign Out of XTimers
Signing out ends XTimers sign-in on that device and pauses authenticated synchronization. It does not delete the Xin Account, XTimers server data, or local timers and local-only alarms. Before removing signed-in alarm state from view, XTimers makes a best-effort attempt to cancel system alarms owned by that installation and preserves truthful pending or failure status when cancellation cannot be confirmed. Signing in again can restore authorized synchronization.
Local Data After Sign-Out or App Removal
XTimers does not currently provide a separate whole-app local-data reset on Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Signing out pauses authenticated synchronization and preserves local data. Removing or uninstalling the app may leave Application Support, container, or backup copies, depending on the platform and system settings. Use the authenticated Delete XTimers Data action for account-scoped deletion.
Delete XTimers Data
In XTimers account controls, choose Delete XTimers Data and confirm with the fresh security code sent to the Xin Account email. This permanently deletes the selected XTimers account's data, including active timers, alarms, session and task history, device-targeting and scheduling-status records, snapshots, custom sounds, Background Library content, feedback, reminders, messages, published reports and report links, SMS configuration, and push-registration data, and removes its local XTimers data from that device. Bounded cancellation, deletion, security, and diagnostic evidence may remain for the limited operational periods described in the policy. The Xin Account, shared sign-in identity, and any other connected products remain available. Read the Privacy Policy for retention details.
Delete Xin Account
Choose Delete Xin Account only to delete the shared identity. XTimers shows the connected products that will be deleted and requires a fresh security code sent to the Xin Account email. The process permanently deletes every listed connected product account before it deletes the Xin Account identity, sessions, linked sign-in providers, and active recovery records. An unfinished or zero-product Xin identity can be deleted when it has no connected XTimers account.
If a deletion is interrupted, XTimers keeps a protected, operation-scoped recovery record and resumes the same request. That record does not retain the emailed verification code or the user's password. Do not start a different deletion for the same account while recovery is continuing.
Separately maintained request logs, IP information, security records, deletion receipts, and diagnostic submissions may remain when needed for security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, fraud or abuse prevention, or service administration. Read the Privacy Policy for retention details.
Manage Synchronization
Core timers can be used without signing in. Xin Account sign-in is used to authorize XTimers synchronization. Signing out pauses future authenticated synchronization without deleting either account scope.
Manage Alarms and Rings On
While signed out, alarms are local-only and “This Device” is the only target. Signing in never moves one automatically. Use the app's explicit promotion action if you want an eligible local alarm to become shared. For a shared alarm, use each device's “Rings On” switch to request where it should ring and review whether the app shows “Scheduled,” “Pending Apply,” “Pending Cancellation,” “Needs Permission,” “Unavailable,” “Failed,” “Sync Pending,” or another status. Rename or retire installations from the device controls when available. Deleting a local-only alarm removes it only from that installation.
Manage System Permissions and Notifications
Alarm, notification, Calendar, and Mac automation permissions can be allowed or denied in the app or Apple system settings. Denying a permission limits the related feature. XTimers does not label an alarm as scheduled when the operating system has not confirmed it.
Manage Automatic Activity Tracking
Automatic application tracking can be enabled or disabled in XTimers settings. Active browser-tab web-address and title tracking is available only in the separately distributed XTimers Pro edition, where browser integration can also be enabled or disabled. Activity records, including raw stored web addresses and titles, stay on the Mac. While tracking runs, raw events older than 365 days are removed. Turning tracking off stops XTimers app recording and integration but keeps existing history; use Reset tracked data to erase it. Disable or remove the separately installed browser extension to stop its own active-tab queries and local delivery attempts. If the user explicitly emails or publishes a report, it can include the displayed application names and derived website hostnames, but not those raw web addresses or titles.
Manage Background Photos and Colors
A photo chosen only for the current device remains local. Adding a photo or color to the signed-in Background Library uploads it for synchronization across devices. Delete individual library items to remove them from the account library, or reset the current installation's background to remove its local selection.
Manage Personal Calendar Features
Choose which Apple Calendar calendars XTimers may display, turn the Personal Calendar Overlay or advance event alerts off, or revoke Calendar access in system settings. Event details and locally detected conference links remain on the device and are not uploaded to XTimers.
Manage Online Reports
When creating an online report link, choose an expiration of 1, 7, 30, 90, or 365 days. The link stops working after that expiration. To avoid uploading report content, use local copy or export options instead of email or online publishing.
Diagnostics and Support Choices
Feedback can be sent anonymously or attached to the signed-in account. Ordinary connection metadata may still accompany an anonymous request. Apple controls system diagnostic sharing; XTimers processes diagnostic payloads it receives to investigate reliability and performance.
SMS Choices
After a signed-in user gives affirmative consent, XTimers may attempt to send a setup verification code to the proposed account phone number. Reminder SMS may be attempted only after successful verification and opt-in, and only to that same phone number. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages or HELP for help. Deleting the connected XTimers account also removes its active phone and SMS configuration, subject to records that must be retained for carrier, legal, security, or abuse-prevention purposes.
