Your small ritual stays yours

Privacy, plainly.

Last updated September 17, 2026

3 O’Clock Socks is operated by Dan Garfinkel. The app reminds you to change your socks and keeps track of your daily check-ins. It does not require you to provide a name or email address.

What stays on your phone

Your check-ins, streak, reminder preferences, and a queue of unsynced activity are stored locally. Notifications are scheduled on your iPhone. Your daily ritual continues to work offline.

What the app sends

When cloud measurement is available, the app creates an anonymous installation identity with Supabase and syncs check-in dates and times, time zone, app version, reminder settings and permission status, confirmation source, and activity such as app opens, reminder opens, snoozes, and confirmations. A notification message identifier helps us understand which reminders people respond to.

These records are linked to an anonymous installation, not a verified person. We use them to operate the app and understand aggregate usage. We do not collect contacts, precise location, advertising identifiers, or an Apple push notification token. There are no advertising SDKs or cross-app tracking.

This website

The public pages do not use advertising trackers or a separate analytics service. Vercel hosts the website and processes connection information, such as IP addresses and requests, to deliver and secure it. The private administrator area uses essential sign-in cookies and Supabase authentication. If you email Support, we receive your email address and the message you send.

Service providers

We use Supabase for app data and authentication, and Vercel for website hosting. They process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Information may be processed outside your country.

Retention and deletion

App records are retained while the installation remains in use unless you delete them or we remove them as part of maintenance. In the app, open Settings → Privacy → Delete my data. This removes local history and disables reminders after cloud deletion completes. Internet access is required to finish deleting cloud records. Uninstalling the app alone does not request cloud deletion, and recovery after reinstall is not promised.

Questions

For privacy questions, data requests, or support, email dgarfink@gmail.com. Because app records are anonymous, we may need information from your installation to locate the right records; your email address alone does not identify them.
