Privacy Policy for Stop Brain Rot

Last updated: October 2026

Introduction

Stop Brain Rot (“the app”) helps you block selected apps during focus periods using Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) APIs. This policy describes what data the app uses and where it is stored.

Data we do not collect

• We do not collect, store, or have access to your personal data on our servers.
• We do not use advertising identifiers or tracking, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites. The only third‑party SDK that sends data is the anonymous usage statistics service described below.
• No account or login is required to use the app.

Data stored on your device

All data stays on your device (and in Apple’s systems where stated below):

• Blocks and app groups: Block names, times, days, and which apps are in each group are stored only on your device (in the app’s container and shared with the app’s extensions via an App Group).
• App selection (Screen Time): When you choose which apps to block, that selection is managed by Apple’s Family Controls framework and stored on your device. We do not receive or store this list on any server.
• Subscription status: If you subscribe, Apple processes the purchase. The app stores only whether you have an active subscription and a transaction identifier locally so it can unlock features. We do not receive your payment details or identity.

Anonymous usage statistics

The app uses TelemetryDeck, a privacy‑focused analytics service from TelemetryDeck GmbH in Germany, to count which screens and features are used, for example how many people finish the first‑run setup or open the upgrade screen. A report contains:

• the name of the event and a few fixed values (such as which upgrade screen was shown);
• whether you are on the free or Premium plan;
• the app and iOS version, your device model, language, region, time zone and accessibility settings;
• an identifier that the app scrambles (hashes) on your phone and TelemetryDeck scrambles again, so reports from one install can be counted together without anyone knowing whose they are.

Reports never contain your apps, app groups, block names or schedules, your Screen Time data, your name, email address or any other personal information. TelemetryDeck does not store IP addresses. You can turn this off at any time in Settings > Share Anonymous Usage. More: https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy.

Apple

• Screen Time / Family Controls are provided by Apple. Use of those features is subject to Apple’s privacy policy and terms.
• In‑app purchases are processed by Apple. Apple’s privacy policy applies to purchase and subscription data: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.

Children

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

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
