Hours is a timesheet for people who are paid by the hour. You clock in and out, or type shifts in afterwards, and the app works out your week. All of that stays on your phone.
There is no account, no sign-up, no cloud and no server of ours anywhere. We never see where you work, when you work or what you are paid.
The app does not know where you are. Geofenced clock-in — starting the shift when you arrive at work — is the flagship feature of the paid apps in this category, and it is deliberately absent. It would need background location, the most invasive permission Android grants, and your employer’s address, which is the one genuinely identifying thing a timesheet could hold. It also gets the edges wrong in both directions, which for a timesheet means being paid for the wrong number. Pressing a button takes half a second.
The app never sends you a notification. There is no notification permission at all — see What the app deliberately cannot do.
The only data that leaves your device is what Google AdMob needs to show ads, and none of it is anything about your work.
com.dashfusion.listhours)Everything is written to this app’s private storage, which no other app on your phone can read:
That is the whole list. There is no name, no employer, no address, no photograph, no location and no contact anywhere in it, because the app never asks for any of them. The job name is a word you typed for your own benefit — The Anchor, Saturday market — and the app has no idea what it refers to.
We hold no copy of any of it. There is no analytics SDK in this app, no crash reporter of our own, and no telemetry.
The app also opts out of Android’s cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so your hours are never copied into Google’s backup service. That is a deliberate trade and you should know which way it cuts: nothing about your work is stored off your phone, and uninstalling the app, or losing the phone, loses it. Use Save a copy before you switch phones — it is the intended way to move your data, it is never behind an ad, and it is the file to attach to an email if payroll ever disagrees with you.
This app is one record kept on one device. Nothing syncs. No manager can see it, no colleague is invited, and nobody needs an account — because there are no accounts at all.
That is a real limit and it is stated in the app as well as here, because finding it out after installing would be worse.
Worth stating plainly, because apps in this category commonly do these things:
You can save a copy of your jobs and shifts to a file you choose, and restore one back. A saved file leaves the app’s protection: it is written where you point it, in a readable JSON form other apps can open. The app tells you this before it writes anything.
Restoring replaces what is in the app — it does not merge — and the confirmation says so before anything is overwritten.
The file is chosen through Android’s own document picker, which hands the app that one file and grants it nothing else. The app holds no storage permission.
The app is supported by ads served by Google AdMob. Ads are the only reason the app needs an internet connection at all; clocking in and out, the timesheet, the overtime arithmetic and the pay estimate all work fully offline.
The app shows no banner ads, no native ads and no ads on launch. The only moment an occasional full-screen ad can appear is after you clock out — the end of a shift, and never the beginning of one. There is also an optional rewarded video you can choose to watch to switch ads off for 24 hours.
To serve ads, Google receives data from your device, which may include your
device’s advertising identifier (AD_ID), coarse location inferred from your IP
address, device and app information, and ad-interaction data. It does not
receive any shift, any rate, any job name or anything else about your work.
Google’s processing is done as an independent controller under its own policies:
Where required by law, the app shows Google’s User Messaging Platform consent form before ads are initialised, and records your choice. In the EEA and the UK you are asked about personalised advertising; in covered US states you are offered the opt-out required there. You can change your decision at any time from Settings → Ad privacy options, and if you decline, every feature of the app continues to work exactly as before.
None. We operate no servers, no accounts and no analytics. We have no database with your name in it and no way to identify you or your device. We do not sell or share personal information, because we do not have any.
The app adds up the times you recorded and applies the thresholds and the rate you typed. That is arithmetic on your own figures, not employment advice and not a legal document.
Overtime rules, break entitlements and rounding practices differ by country, by industry and by contract. This app lets you describe yours; it does not know what yours is, and it cannot tell you whether your employer is applying it correctly. What it can do is show you your own record, in a form you can compare with a payslip.
AD_ID) — required by Google Play for apps that serve
ads; used by AdMob as described above.That is all three of them, and there is no fourth. The app requests no location, no notifications, no camera, no contacts, no photo or media access, no storage permission, no calendar and no exact-alarm permission.
Five more permissions are merged into the final app package by the libraries the app is built on, so the list Google Play shows you is longer than the three above. They are the three Android Ad Services permissions, plus wake-lock and foreground-service, all of which come from the Google Mobile Ads SDK. None of them is a permission Android stops to ask you about, and none is used by any code we wrote.
This app is not directed at children and is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children — as described above, we hold no personal data at all.
If we change this policy we will update the Last updated date above and publish the new version at this URL. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes on Google Play. This policy is versioned publicly in the Dash Fusion privacy repository, so any change is visible in its history.
