Pottlo Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-31

Pottlo ("the app") is a free potty training timer and log provided by DDJ B1 ("we", "us"). Parents and caregivers set a repeating potty timer, log pee, poo, accidents and tries with one tap, and collect stickers toward a reward. It has no account system, no login, no subscription and no server operated by us. Everything works without a connection (ads aside).

Your data

The names (or nicknames) and avatar emojis you enter for each child, your potty log (type of entry, time, and optional details such as "told me first" or "washed hands"), timer settings, sticker goals and rewards, and your app settings are stored locally on your device.

• The app itself does not upload this data, and we never receive it.
• The advertising SDK described below may collect information as explained in that section. Your children's names and potty log are not passed to the advertising SDK.
• The app has no photo, video or voice recording features.
• If you use "Share today", a short summary text goes only to the app you choose through Android's share sheet. What happens to it there is controlled by you and that app.
• Android's standard app backup may include app data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Permissions

• Notifications — to ring the potty timer and to show optional morning and evening tips. You can decline or turn them off; logging and history keep working.
• Alarms & reminders (exact alarms) — optional, so the potty timer rings on time even when the phone is saving battery. If you don't allow it, the timer may ring a few minutes late.
• Run at startup — to restore the timer and reminders after the phone restarts or the time changes.
• Vibration — for timer alerts and small haptic feedback.
• Internet / network state / advertising ID — used by the advertising SDK described below. Some permissions declared by Google libraries are not used by the app to read personal information.

Pottlo does not request location, contacts, camera, microphone, photo library, phone call, SMS or calendar permissions.

Advertising and information collected automatically

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob inside the app only (never in notifications or in the widget, and never over the celebration screen). To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK may collect and share with Google information such as your device's advertising identifier and other device identifiers, approximate location (including location derived from your IP address), app interactions (for example ad views and taps), crash logs and diagnostics. This data is shared with Google as a third party for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention purposes. For more information see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice from the app's Settings screen ("Ad privacy settings") and reset or limit ad personalization in your device settings.

Not medical advice

Pottlo is a simple tracking tool for families. Its timer, statistics and tips are not medical advice. If you have concerns about your child's development, bladder or bowel health, talk to your pediatrician.

Children

The app is intended for parents and caregivers (adults) and is not directed to children. Children may watch the celebration screen while a parent uses the app, but they are not the app's users and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Information you enter about your child stays on your device as described above.

Your rights

Your app data exists only on your device and in backups you control; uninstalling the app removes the app's own copies. You can edit or delete any entry, and delete a child together with all of their entries, in the app at any time. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights regarding data processed by the advertising SDK; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
