Privacy Policy

Introduction

Blobodoro built the Blobodoro app as a free Pomodoro-style study timer and tracker. This Service is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page informs users regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of information if anyone decides to use our Service or join our waitlist.

By using Blobodoro or joining our waitlist, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The information we collect is used only for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
