At BreakPal, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our screentime management app and interact with our website, including our waitlist.
Information We Collect on Our Website (e.g., Waitlist)
When you sign up for our waitlist or interact with our website, we may collect the following information:
- Contact Information: Your email address, which you provide to join our waitlist.
- Device OS Preference: Information about your preferred device operating system (e.g., iOS, Android) if you choose to provide it.
- Optional Information: Any other information you voluntarily provide to us (e.g., feedback, questions).
- Website Usage Data: Non-identifiable data about your visit to our website (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages viewed), typically collected through analytics tools to understand traffic and improve the site.
How We Use Your Website Information
The information collected on our website, including waitlist sign-ups, is used solely to:
- Communicate with you: To send updates about BreakPal, waitlist progress, launch announcements, and other relevant information you've expressed interest in.
- Prioritize development: To help us understand user demand for specific platforms (e.g., iOS vs. Android).
- Improve our website: To analyze website traffic and user behavior to enhance our online presence.

We will not use your waitlist email for unrelated marketing without your separate, explicit consent.
Information We Collect In-App
Once you install and use the BreakPal app, we collect information necessary to provide our screentime management services, including:
- Screen time usage data through Apple's Screen Time API (with your explicit permission).
- App usage statistics and patterns (e.g., features used).
- Device information for app functionality (e.g., device model).
- User preferences and settings within the app.
How We Use Your In-App Information
Your in-app data is used solely to:
- Provide screentime tracking and blocking features.
- Generate usage reports and insights within the app.
- Improve app functionality and user experience.
- Ensure compliance with your set limits and rules.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
- For in-app data: All primary app data (e.g., screentime logs, rules) is stored locally on your device only.
- No personal in-app data is transmitted to our servers.
- Screen Time data remains under Apple's privacy protections and is accessed only with your consent for the app's functionality.
- For website/waitlist data: We use secure third-party services (e.g., email providers) for storing your contact information, which adhere to strict security standards.
- Regular security audits and updates are conducted for our systems and app.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information (whether collected in-app or via the waitlist) to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data remains private and is only used to provide the app's functionality and communicate with you as outlined in this policy.
We may share anonymized, aggregated usage statistics (which cannot identify individual users) with partners for analytical purposes to improve our services.
We may use third-party service providers (e.g., email marketing platforms for the waitlist, website analytics tools) to help us operate our business and the website or administer activities on our behalf. These third parties are obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
