Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 March 2026

The short version

We don't collect your personal data. We don't track you. We don't sell anything to anyone. Our apps work on your device, and your data stays on your device.

Who we are

Keep Computing is an indie software studio based in St Helens, Merseyside, England. We build Android apps under the "Kept" brand and the WatchOver brand. This policy covers all our apps and this website.

What data we collect

None. Our apps do not collect, transmit, or store personal data on any server we control. There are no user accounts, no sign-up, no analytics, and no tracking.

Google account email (some apps)

Some of our apps offer optional Google Sign-In. If you sign in, your email address is checked locally on your device against a list of premium entitlements. Your email is never sent to our servers, stored in any database, or shared with any third party. The entitlement list is fetched as an encrypted file and decrypted on your device.

Google Play Billing

If you make an in-app purchase, the transaction is handled entirely by Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment details. Google's own privacy policy governs that data.

Google AdMob (free tiers)

Some of our apps display ads via Google AdMob in their free tiers. AdMob may collect device identifiers, advertising IDs, and usage data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to this data. Ads are only shown in settings screens, never in notifications or while using core features.

Google Drive (Kepthouse)

Kepthouse offers optional Google Drive backup. If you enable this, your app data is uploaded to your own Google Drive account. We do not have access to your Google Drive or the data stored there.

This website

This website does not use cookies for tracking. We use a lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics script that records page views only — no personal data, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. The contact form sends your message via email; we do not store submissions in a database.

Data retention

Since we don't collect personal data, there is nothing to retain or delete. App data is stored on your device and deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

Children's privacy

Our apps are general-purpose utilities not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we don't hold any personal data, there is nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have any concerns, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version. We won't reduce your privacy rights without your consent.
