Privacy Policy
Chronex — TVDE Time Tracking
Last updated: February 24, 2026
1. Introduction
Privacy by design: Chronex is built with a local-first architecture. All shift data, statistics, alerts and settings are stored exclusively on your device. Toralle does not operate servers that store your personal or shift data.
The Chronex application, developed and operated by Toralle Lda (NIF: 518102564, hereinafter "Toralle"), is an auxiliary time tracking tool for TVDE (ride-hailing) drivers in Portugal. This Privacy Policy explains how Chronex handles its users' information.
Disclaimer: Chronex is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any Portuguese government entity, including IMT, ACT, or any regulatory authority. All regulatory references are for informational purposes only. See: Portaria 7/2022 | Lei 45/2018.
2. Data Processed
Chronex processes the following types of information, always locally on your device:
| Data type | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Driver profile (name, CMTVDE, operator) | User identification within the app | Local (SQLite) |
| Vehicle information (plate, brand, model) | Vehicle association with shift records | Local (SQLite) |
| Shift records (times, activities, km) | Time tracking and compliance monitoring | Local (SQLite) |
| Alert history | Compliance alert log | Local (SQLite) |
| Fortnightly confirmations | Periodic record verification with hashed PIN | Local (SQLite) |
| Preferences and settings | Experience personalization | Local (SharedPreferences) |
| Profile photo (optional) | User personalization | Local (app internal storage) |
Chronex transmits zero personal data to any external server. Everything stays on your device.
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
- GPS location or geolocation data
- Contacts, messages, or call logs
- Email, phone number, or personal identifiers for Toralle's use
- Usage behavior or browsing habits
- Advertising identifiers
- Analytics or tracking data
4. Firebase Crashlytics
Chronex uses Firebase Crashlytics by Google to detect and diagnose app crashes. Crashlytics automatically collects:
- Device model and operating system version
- Crash logs and stack traces
- App state at the time of crash
This data is anonymous and does not include any personal information, shift data, or driver details. Crashlytics data is processed by Google under their Firebase Privacy Policy.
5. Network Access
- Public holiday data: Fetching Portuguese public holidays from a public API (date.nager.at) to display in the calendar
- Crash reporting: Sending anonymous crash data via Firebase Crashlytics
No personal or shift data is ever transmitted over the network.
6. Data Security
- Exclusively local storage, protected by Android sandboxing
- Sensitive preferences use Android EncryptedSharedPreferences
- PIN stored as SHA-256 hash — the actual PIN is never stored
- Shift records use SHA-256 hash chains to ensure data integrity
- Optional biometric authentication (fingerprint/face) for app access
- Code obfuscation (R8) against reverse engineering
- External communications via HTTPS (encrypted in transit)
7. Data Retention and Deletion
- You can delete all data at any time in the app: More → Tools → Clear Data
- Uninstalling the app automatically removes all local data
- Android Settings → Apps → Chronex → Storage → Clear Data also removes all data
For data deletion requests or questions, visit our data deletion page or contact support@chronex.now.
8. Your Rights (GDPR)
- Access — All your data is visible directly in the app
- Portability — Export your data via More → Tools → Export
- Erasure — Delete all data via Clear Data or by uninstalling the app
- Rectification — Edit your profile and vehicle information within the app
Since Toralle does not store your data on any server, most rights are exercised directly through the app.
9. Children's Privacy
Chronex is a professional tool intended for licensed TVDE drivers (18+). The application is not intended for users under 18 years of age. Toralle does not knowingly collect data from minors.
10. Changes to This Policy
Toralle may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated revision date. Continued use of Chronex after changes constitutes acceptance.
