Privacy for the Work Hours mobile app on Android and iPhone: local data, purchases and support.
Updated: 6 November 2026
Publisher and contact
Work Hours is provided by Kwant Software, the trade name of Björn Billooye, sole trader. Nederwijk 242, 9400 Ninove, Belgium. Enterprise number 1041.558.284, VAT BE 1041.558.284. Support and privacy enquiries: info@kwantsoftware.be.
Your records stay on your device
Work Hours stores your name, time blocks, rates, work types, notes, photos and correction history locally. There is no account or automatic synchronisation between Android and iOS. The publisher does not automatically receive your work records. Hours change only following an action you confirm.
Backups and migration
Go to Settings and create a backup. Keep the JSON file. In the mobile app, choose Settings → Restore and select that file. Keep the original backup and compare months, totals, notes and photos after importing. Restoring replaces the current app data after your confirmation; create a separate backup of that data first. Each user must use their own file. Backups contain personal data and are not encrypted by Work Hours. Keep the original backup and check months, hours, types, amounts, notes and photos after importing. New backups containing absence records require an updated app; importing them into the older web version is not currently possible.
Photos and sharing
The camera and photo picker open only when you choose to add a photo. A PDF or backup leaves the app only when you save or share it. Your chosen recipient and sharing or cloud app process the file under their own policies. Your phone system backup may retain app data, depending on your device settings.
Notifications and network
The mobile app sends no background notifications. The shift assistant checks records only while the app is open and never changes hours automatically. The native app has no advertising or advertising tracking. It uses RevenueCat to verify mobile subscriptions, as described below.
Retention and deletion
Local records remain available until you delete them, clear app data or uninstall the app. System and manual backups may remain afterwards. Delete them separately if you wish. Keep a backup before uninstalling an app or clearing browser data. Kwant Software cannot recover local hours without your backup.
Purchase and support
The app is free to download. The complete app trial lasts 14 days after you explicitly start it, without payment details or a store purchase, and never becomes paid automatically. You can then explicitly purchase an automatically renewing subscription through Apple or Google. The store processes payment. Support correspondence is used only to answer your question and retained as needed for the request and legal obligations.
Your rights
For data received by Kwant Software, you can request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction or objection through info@kwantsoftware.be. We normally answer privacy requests within one month. You can complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority at www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be. You can export and manage local app data yourself.
Subscription and purchase verification
The free app trial is not a store introductory offer and creates no purchase. Afterwards, you explicitly purchase a paid one-month, three-month or one-year subscription through Apple or Google. Prices are €1.95, €3.95 and €9.95 for the selected billing period. A confirmed subscription renews automatically until cancelled. On expiry, existing hours, corrections, reports and backups remain accessible and you can clock out yourself. We use RevenueCat as a processor for purchase verification and subscription analytics. RevenueCat processes receipts, product identifiers, purchase and expiry dates, renewal and refund status, a random anonymous customer identifier and technical purchase context such as platform, app/OS version, language and currency. We do not send names, email addresses, hours, record types, amounts, notes, photos or backups to RevenueCat. Purchase data supports functionality, access control, fraud prevention and subscription analytics, not advertising. Processing follows our processing agreements, with transfer safeguards where needed, and retention as needed for subscriptions, support and legal obligations. Request deletion at info@kwantsoftware.be; this does not cancel a store subscription. Manage or cancel it separately through Apple or Google.
Local app trial
The app stores the start and end of the app trial locally in separate secure storage. Trial status is not included in your hours backup. Reopening the app or importing an hours backup does not restart it. There is no separate app account or automatic synchronisation of work records.
Still have a question?
Email your question with your platform and app version. Do not send a full backup or sensitive work data unless necessary.
