What is an appointment in timee?
In timee, a term is a temporal event of any kind: events, appointments, dates, meetings, public or private events, or just a private moment you want to capture.
About rights controls
With Android 6.x, also called Marshmallow, Google introduced more control for the users. Since Android 6.x, the user can separately specify which features an app may access. In the case of previous versions of Android, most of the required rights are already queried during installation, so that the user does not have much choice here, as long as he/she wants to use the respective app.
Before Marshmallow it is similar to iOS and every single needed function is queried individually within the APP. This can sometimes be annoying, but gives the user the greatest possible control.
Questions about privacy
How does timee handle privacy?
We can assure you that your data will be treated with the utmost care and discretion. As a German company, timee GmbH is responsible for the strict German data protection regulations and we make every effort to comply with them and to do justice to them.
Which rights are needed and for what?
timee is a complex application that does not need more permissions than the apps of other popular social networks or instant messengers. However, the list of services requested for Android 5.X users may seem daunting.
Below we list what they are needed for and hope to create transparency and concern. timee will never access data that is not relevant to the operation of the app.
Call phone numbers, read status and ID
We integrated the possibility to call contacts directly from the app. For this it is necessary to determine the phone status and the ID. However, timee will never access the telephone function independently or unsolicited.
SMS / MMS receive or read
Upon registration, we will send you an SMS to confirm your identity. Therefore, to automatically confirm the SMS, timee needs access to the SMS function. Other, non-time-relevant messages are never touched.
Location Information (GPS and Network Based)
In timee, a database with over one million events from all possible areas is integrated. To see the best in your environment, timee needs location information. However, these are not stored permanently.
Read contact data
After registering, timee will check which of your contacts are already using timee and add it to your timee contacts. To do this, timee needs access to the contact information. The related information is used solely for this purpose.
Read calendar events and confidential information
This may sound serious, but it simply means that we can synchronize existing calendars with timee, so you have all your appointments at a glance and in one place.
Change or delete SD card contents
In timee you can upload your own profile pictures and also share photos via the instant messenger. This is only possible if timee is allowed to access the memory card. Again, time-referenced files are not read or modified at any time.
Use account authentication permissions
This right is required to create or remove your timee account on the phone. Accounts of other applications and services are not touched.
Internet data received
timee draws information from the Internet, such as the dates of the event calendar. In addition, certain information is uploaded to timee’s servers and forwarded to recipients, such as invitations or chat messages. Therefore, it is essential for operation that timee go online.
Pairing with Bluetooth devices
timee will soon be supporting smartwatches. For this to be possible, a connection must be established via Bluetooth to the corresponding devices.
Deactivate the rest status / control the vibration function
This is necessary so that timee can send you notifications for new chat messages as well as invitations and event reminders.
Read sync settings
These are needed to synchronize other calendars with timee.
Change global system settings
Needed to exchange or open data with other applications. At no time does timee change the settings of other applications.
Write diagnostic information
Used to track and analyze crashes to improve and optimize app
Data transfer through the framework
Needed to exchange data with other calendars and applications.
