Who we are

Pomro is developed and published by Marco Cagnina, who is the data controller for the limited processing described in this policy.

Privacy contact: info@marcocagnina.com.

This policy covers the Pomro desktop application for Windows, the Pomro website, and privacy-related support communications.

Data stored by the app

Pomro stores the following information locally so its features can work:

• Preferences: focus and break durations, cycle settings, automatic start preference, selected sounds, volume, theme, language, and always-on-top preference.
• Cycle presets: preset names you create, their focus and break sequences, and which activities use them.
• Activities: activity titles you create, a locally generated identifier, color, creation and last-used times, usage count, completion time, and current selection.
• Focus history: locally generated session identifier, start and end times, duration, completed or partial status, extension duration, and a snapshot of the associated activity title, identifier, and color.
• Timer and window state: the state of the active timer, so a session can resume after a restart, plus window position and dimensions used to restore the app where you left it.
• Review prompt state: how many times the optional Microsoft Store rating card has appeared and when, so it is shown at most twice.
• Diagnostic logs: technical events and errors used to troubleshoot the app. File paths inside your user profile are masked.

Pomro does not access or collect your contacts, files, browsing history, precise location, camera, microphone, photos, messages, health information, financial information, or Microsoft account credentials.

Why this data is used

Local app data is used only to provide the timer, remember your preferences, presets, and activities, display local statistics, calculate streaks and totals, restore the timer and window state, limit the review prompt, and troubleshoot errors.

The developer does not receive this local data. To the extent data-protection law applies, the processing is necessary to provide the functionality you request and is based on performance of the service requested by you.

Storage, security, and retention

App data is written as local files inside the application-data area of your Windows user profile. It remains there until you reset the relevant settings or delete Pomro's local application data. Pomro does not automatically expire focus history or activities.

Diagnostic logs are kept for up to 14 days and are deleted automatically. Before updating its local database, Pomro saves a safety copy of it on your device and keeps only the three most recent copies.

Pomro does not add application-level encryption to these files. Their protection therefore depends on the security of your Windows account, device, disk encryption, backups, and access controls. Keep your device and operating system protected and up to date.

Device or cloud backups configured by you or by your organization may retain copies independently of Pomro. The developer cannot view or delete those copies.

Sharing and international transfers

Pomro does not transmit app data to Marco Cagnina, advertising networks, analytics providers, data brokers, or other third parties. There is no Pomro backend or synchronization service.

Because the app does not transmit this data, the developer does not perform international transfers of app data.

Website, cookies, and support email

The Pomro website is static and does not show advertising, create accounts, or include a contact form. If you explicitly consent, it uses Google Analytics to measure page visits, Microsoft Store link clicks, language changes, and interactions with the timer preview. Google tags remain blocked until consent is granted.

The legal basis for optional website analytics is your consent. You may refuse or withdraw consent at any time through Cookie settings in the footer. Your choice is stored on your device for up to six months, then requested again. Analytics data may be processed by Google as a service provider; no advertising storage, ad personalization, User-ID, or data from the Windows app is enabled by this website configuration.

After consent, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_* for up to two years. The site sends page paths and titles, language, selected campaign parameters, and interaction events. It limits the page referrer to the other site's origin and does not send arbitrary URL parameters. Google may also receive device, browser, and approximate location information. Event-level data is retained in GA4 for two months and user-level data for 14 months; aggregated reports may remain available longer.

Google processes analytics data under its own privacy terms and may process it outside the European Economic Area. See the Google Privacy Policy and Google Analytics cookie details.

As with any website, your browser must send technical request information—such as your IP address, browser user agent, requested page, and time of the request—to the hosting infrastructure so the page can be delivered and protected. Pomro does not use this information for advertising or behavioral profiling.

If you email info@marcocagnina.com, the sender address, message content, and related metadata are processed to respond to your request and handle support or security matters. Email is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes and any applicable legal obligations. The email service provider may process this information as a service provider.

Microsoft Store

Microsoft may independently process information when you browse the Store, acquire Pomro, manage your Microsoft account, or receive Store updates. That processing is controlled by Microsoft and is described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

After sustained use, Pomro may show a small card inviting you to rate it. If you choose to rate it, the app opens the Microsoft Store review page; your rating and review are handled by Microsoft.

Pomro does not receive your Microsoft account credentials or payment information.

Children

Pomro is a general productivity tool and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Because the app has no account or data transmission, the developer does not knowingly receive children's app data.

Your choices and rights

You control the app data directly on your device. You can reset preferences in Pomro and can remove all locally stored Pomro data by deleting its application-data files. The developer cannot remotely access, export, correct, or erase local app data because it is never received.

For website analytics data, you may withdraw consent through Cookie settings and request your applicable privacy rights by emailing info@marcocagnina.com.

For personal information contained in support emails, and where applicable under the GDPR or other laws, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing by contacting info@marcocagnina.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority; in Italy this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.

Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated if Pomro adds features that change how data is handled, such as cloud sync, accounts, integrations, analytics, or a new hosting provider with materially different practices. The effective date and version at the top of this page identify the current policy.
