Privacy policy
Last updated October 18, 2026
This one policy covers every app published by big small apps and this website, bigsmallapps.com. The short version: we don't collect, sell or share your personal information.
What we don't do
- No accounts or sign-in. You never give us a name, email address or password to use an app.
- No ads and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics, tracking pixels or third-party trackers, in the apps or on this website.
- No selling or sharing of personal information with anyone.
What stays on your device
Settings and preferences you choose in an app (for example a city or a timer length) are saved on your device only. Uninstalling the app or clearing its site data removes them.
Online services an app may use
Some apps fetch information from a third-party service to work, such as a weather forecast. Only what's needed for that request is sent, and nothing is linked to you. Like any web request, the service also sees your IP address; its own privacy terms apply. The table below lists every one.
What each app uses
| What it uses | Why | Optional? | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your location, rounded to about 100 metres | To show your local weather and the name of your city | Yes. Search for a city instead, or turn the weather off | Open-Meteo (weather) and BigDataCloud (city name) |
| A city name you search for | To find the place you want the weather for | Yes | Open-Meteo place search |
| Notifications | To tell you a timer finished or an alarm went off | Yes | Nowhere. Shown by your device |
| A photo you pick as an icon | To show it on a timer or alarm | Yes | Nowhere. A small copy stays on your device |
| Your settings, timers, alarms and the last weather | To remember your choices and work offline | Needed for the app to work | Nowhere. Stored on your device only |
| Technical details in a support email | To help fix a problem you report (app version, browser, window size, settings; never your location, city, time zone, timers or alarms) | Yes. You can read, change or delete them first | Your own email app, and to us only if you send the email |
If you turn the weather off, Big Small Clock contacts no online service at all.
