PRIVACY

• Approximate Location Permission: used to calculate sunrise and sunset time for automatic night mode. If you deny this permission, fixed times will be used instead.

• Google Analytics for Firebase: collects usage and behavior data for improving the user experience. You can opt out within the settings.

• Firebase Crashlytics: collects crash reports for faster and easier bug fixes. You can opt out within the settings.

• GeyserTimes Account: for the attribution and credibility of data users must identify themselves using their real name and email address to submit data. All data can be accessed without an account, though.

Therefore, we welcome any feedback or suggestions and are thankful for all bug and crash reports. If you like our app, please consider rating us and recommending us to your friends.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️
