App Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This privacy policy informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data within our app offtime. Protecting your data is very important to us. The app offtime does not store any personal data as defined by the Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO). All data remains solely on your device. No data is shared with third parties, no servers are contacted, and no external services are integrated.

3. What data is stored?

The app offtime does not process any personal data within the meaning of the Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO). All stored information relates exclusively to local app settings required for the app's functionality.

Local data storage:

  • Automatically stored data: The app operates entirely locally. Session data (e.g. duration, mode, date) is stored locally and serves only for your personal overview.
  • Manually entered data: Inputs such as preferences, presets, or scheduled blocks are stored exclusively on your device.
  • Technical storage: Data is stored using local technologies such as UserDefaults and Core Data, which are part of the operating system.

App permissions:

  • Camera (for scanning QR codes)
  • Photos (for saving QR codes on the device)
  • NFC (for optional features)
  • Screen Time (to implement blocks via the Screen Time framework)

4. Use of Screen Time Features (Screen Time API)

offtime uses Apple's FamilyControls and ManagedSettings frameworks to enforce app restrictions on your device. The following privacy principles apply:

  • Local app selection: The app does not receive a complete list of your installed apps, only anonymous app tokens for selecting blockable content.
  • No analysis of your usage: offtime does not store or analyze any data on your actual app usage or screen time.
  • No data sharing: All Screen Time data remains local. offtime does not transmit any information to servers, cloud services, or third parties.
  • No automated decisions: Blocking times or restrictions are activated solely based on your configuration.

These features comply with Apple's guidelines and the requirements of the Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO), as no personal data is collected or shared.

5. Purposes and Legal Bases of Data Processing

  • Purpose: The data processing is solely for the local functionality of the app.
  • Legal basis: Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO to fulfill the purpose of the app contract. As no personal data is processed, no further legal basis is required.

6. Data Retention Period

All data remains locally on your device and is stored only as long as you use the app. You can delete all data at any time by deleting the app or specific entries.

7. Data Sharing, Tracking, Analysis, and Security

  • No data sharing: There is no transmission of your data to third parties, no synchronization with servers, and no cloud storage.
  • No tracking: offtime does not use analytics tools, cookies, or tracking technologies.
  • Data security: All data remains on your device. There is no communication over the internet. We still recommend securing your device with a passcode and keeping it updated.

8. Rights of Data Subjects

As an EU citizen, you have the rights of access, rectification, and deletion of personal data under the DSGVO. Since offtime does not store personal data, you can fully control your data by deleting the app data or uninstalling the app.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy as needed, for example due to functional expansions or legal changes. The current version is always available within the app or on the website.
