These are the terms of use for the timeprivate.com website and for TimePrivate, the time tracking app for Mac. Plain language, and short, because a page nobody reads protects nobody.
TimePrivate is a Mac time tracking app operated by Voice Private Inc. of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and these terms of use govern both the timeprivate.com website and the app. Five things carry most of the weight:
Four words do the work in these TimePrivate terms of use. TimePrivate, we and us mean Voice Private Inc., 115 George Street, Suite 607, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6J 0A2. The site means timeprivate.com and any page under it, including the work hours tracker page and the timesheet app page. The app means the TimePrivate time tracking application for macOS, once it is released. You means the person reading the site or, after launch, running the app.
Using the timeprivate.com site means you accept the TimePrivate terms of use on this page. If you do not accept them, stop using the site. You need to be old enough to enter a binding agreement where you live. If you are reading this on behalf of an employer or a client, you are confirming you are allowed to accept terms for them.
The TimePrivate time tracking app has not been released. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, there is no installer to download, and there is no free trial to start. Every price you see on timeprivate.com is planned and can change before launch. When TimePrivate does launch it will be sold as a subscription and there will be no perpetual licence to buy.
Joining the TimePrivate waitlist commits you to nothing. If you submit the form we store the email address you type, the time you sent it and your browser's user-agent string, and we write to you when TimePrivate is available and about the launch itself. We do not sell or share your address. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, you can ask us to delete the address at any time by replying to any message, and the same handling is described on the TimePrivate privacy page. Submit only your own address, not someone else's.
When the TimePrivate app ships, an active subscription buys a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and run it on Macs you control, for as long as that subscription is running. The app is licensed and not sold, and the code, design and name stay with Voice Private Inc. You may not resell, rent or sublicense TimePrivate, remove or work around licence checks, or reverse engineer the app except to the extent the law of your country says you may. Personal use, freelance client work and use inside the company that pays for your seat are all fine.
TimePrivate plans to charge $9 a month or $79 a year for the Mac app, billed in advance for the period you pick and renewing until you cancel. The plan is that cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves you with access until the end of the period you already paid for. None of that is live yet: the waitlist form takes an email address and no payment details, and no card is charged today. Prices, taxes and the payment processor are not final, and the terms in force on launch day will be the ones published on this page then. Because the TimePrivate app keeps your time in a local database on your Mac, ending a subscription later is designed not to erase the records or the CSV files already on your machine. Planned pricing is set out on the TimePrivate pricing section.
You own the hours you track in TimePrivate, and these terms of use contain no content licence because the app never sends them to us. Read the terms of service of a cloud time tracker and you will almost always find a "your content" clause where you grant the vendor the right to host, copy, process and display what you enter. That clause exists because their product cannot work without uploading your data. TimePrivate does not need one: the app writes to a local database on your Mac, optional sync produces end to end encrypted files in a folder you choose, and neither route hands readable time entries to Voice Private Inc. The practical test to apply to any competitor is whether their terms could delete your history when you stop paying. The TimePrivate timesheet app page covers what that means for the records you keep for yourself.
The TimePrivate site is open to read and free to link to, with four limits. Do not attempt to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to it. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people. Do not submit other people's email addresses to the waitlist. Do not republish the text, design or code wholesale as your own, although quoting a passage with a link back is welcome. Automated tools that read the page politely, including search and AI crawlers that respect the robots file, are fine.
If you break these TimePrivate terms of use, we can remove your address from the waitlist, block your access to timeprivate.com, and after launch suspend or end the app licence and the subscription attached to it. For most problems the first step is an email asking you to stop. Something deliberate, such as an attack on the site or reselling the app, can end access with no warning, and a subscription ended for a breach carries no obligation on us to refund the unused part of the period. One consequence that does not follow: because the TimePrivate app stores your tracked hours locally on your Mac, losing access to TimePrivate does not delete the time records you already hold.
A terms of use page is a contract and a privacy policy is a disclosure, which is why TimePrivate keeps them as two documents. This page sets the rules: what you may do with the site and the app, what we promise, who carries which risk, and which court hears a dispute. The privacy policy describes handling instead: what personal data is collected, why, and who can see it. They are enforced by different bodies, and in most countries privacy law requires the disclosure whether or not a site publishes terms at all. The TimePrivate privacy page is the disclosure half, and it splits the app, which makes no network requests, from this website, which runs Google Analytics, PostHog and Microsoft Clarity.
Terms and conditions for a time tracking app should answer seven questions, and TimePrivate answers all seven on this page. Use the list on any tracker you are about to sign up for.
That is a reading checklist, not legal advice. If a time tracking contract matters to your business, have a lawyer read it.
The timeprivate.com site is built on other people's services, and their terms govern their part of it. Cloudflare Pages hosts the site and stores waitlist entries, Bento sends the waitlist email, and Google Analytics, PostHog and Microsoft Clarity measure traffic. After launch a payment processor will handle subscription billing and Apple's platform rules will apply to how the Mac app is distributed. None of those services run inside the TimePrivate app, which has no telemetry and makes no network requests, so the only thing they can see is your visit to these pages. Links from this site to somewhere else are not an endorsement of what you find there.
TimePrivate does not promise the site or the app will be available without interruption. Hosting fails, maintenance happens, and a pre-launch product changes shape. We may add, change or remove features on the site at any time, and any pre-release or beta build of the app is supplied as is, outside the warranty section below. Support before launch runs on email at info@voiceprivate.com, with no promised response time while TimePrivate is still pre-launch.
The TimePrivate site and app are provided as is. We work to keep them accurate and available and do not guarantee either, and time totals, invoices and reports produced by TimePrivate are your responsibility to check before you send them to a client or a payroll department. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or the app, including lost income or lost data, and our total liability is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and consumer rights you hold where you live are not affected.
These TimePrivate terms of use are governed by the law of the Province of Ontario and the federal law of Canada that applies there, without regard to conflict of law rules, and the courts of Ontario are where a dispute is heard. If you are a consumer somewhere else, this does not take away the protection your own local law gives you. If one clause on this page turns out to be unenforceable, the rest of it stands.
TimePrivate updates these terms as the product changes, and pricing, billing and licence wording will all be revisited before launch. The date at the bottom of this page is when the terms last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new version, and a material change to the subscription terms will also be sent to the waitlist by email rather than left to be discovered here.
Questions about these terms of use go to info@voiceprivate.com, or by post to Voice Private Inc., 115 George Street, Suite 607, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6J 0A2. Requests to delete a waitlist address reach us at the same place.

A terms of use page is a contract and a privacy policy is a disclosure. The TimePrivate terms of use set the rules: what you may do with the site and the app, what TimePrivate promises, and which court hears a dispute.

They are separate documents because they are enforced separately, and privacy law in most countries requires the disclosure whether or not a site publishes terms at all.
Seven things. Whether there is a content licence over what you track, what happens to your data when you cancel, whether an employer or workspace admin can be handed your records, how renewal and refunds work, whether the vendor can change the terms alone, which law governs a dispute, and whether beta builds are carved out of the warranty. TimePrivate answers all seven on this page, and the answer to the first is that there is no content licence, because the hours stay on your Mac.
No. You own them, and these terms contain no clause licensing your content to Voice Private Inc. The TimePrivate app writes time entries to a local database on your Mac, and optional sync stores end to end encrypted files in a folder you choose, so no readable time entry reaches us to license in the first place.
No. TimePrivate is pre-launch, so there is nothing to download, nothing to buy and no trial to start. The planned pricing is $9 a month or $79 a year, subscription only, and the waitlist form collects an email address and no payment details. The waitlist is the whole offer today: one email the day it opens.
The law of the Province of Ontario and the federal law of Canada that applies there, with disputes heard in the courts of Ontario. Voice Private Inc., the company behind TimePrivate, is at 115 George Street, Suite 607, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6J 0A2. Consumer protections you hold where you live are not taken away by that choice.
