Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

Helpful Phone ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application Helpful Phone ADHD ("the App").

Data We Collect

Short version:

All your data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal information to any servers.

Data stored locally on your device:

  • Tasks you create
  • App blocking groups and schedules
  • Your PIN code (stored securely on device)
  • App settings and preferences

Data we do NOT collect:

  • Personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • Location data
  • Contacts or address book
  • Photos or media
  • Browsing history
  • Content of your tasks
  • Which apps you block

Screen Time & Family Controls

The App uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls framework) to block apps on your device. This requires your explicit permission.

When you select apps to block, the App receives only opaque tokens from Apple — not the actual names or identifiers of your apps. These tokens work only on your device and cannot be used to identify which apps you use.

No Cloud Sync

The App does not use any cloud services. All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage mechanisms. If you delete the app, all data is permanently removed.

Analytics & Tracking

We do not use any analytics services or tracking tools. We do not collect usage statistics, crash reports, or any other telemetry data.

Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any third-party services that collect user data. We do not share any information with third parties because we do not collect any information in the first place.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
