Introduction
OvertimeTracker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your personal information. Unlike most apps, OvertimeTracker is designed with privacy as the core principle - all your data stays on your device.
Privacy-First Design
