Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At ScrollVeto, your privacy is our highest priority. Unlike other screen-time or habit-tracking applications, ScrollVeto is built on an absolute offline-first philosophy. This Privacy Policy outlines exactly how your data is handled—or more accurately, how it is not handled by us.

2. 100% Offline Data Processing

ScrollVeto requires the "Accessibility" and "Usage Access" permissions on Android exclusively to monitor when you open specific user-selected applications and to overlay block screens (like Monk Mode) over them.

• No Cloud Sync: We do not have user accounts, and we do not upload your usage data to any servers.
• Local Storage Only: All statistics (Willpower scores, time saved, peak usage hours) are calculated and stored locally on your device's secure internal storage.
• No Analytics SDKs: We do not use third-party behavioral analytics tools (like Google Analytics or Mixpanel) inside the app to track how you navigate our UI.

3. Permissions Explained

To function as a strict app blocker, ScrollVeto requests the following sensitive permissions:

• Usage Access: Used to detect which application is currently in the foreground so ScrollVeto can determine if it needs to apply a block.
• Accessibility Services: Used to draw the strict blocking overlay (Monk Mode) over restricted applications. We do not use this permission to read your screen content, log keystrokes, or intercept your personal messages.
• Display Over Other Apps: Required to physically display the lock screen when a limit is reached.

4. Data Deletion

Because your data is stored exclusively on your device, you have complete control over it. To delete all your ScrollVeto data (including streaks, limits, and usage history), you simply need to clear the app's data in your Android Settings or uninstall the application. Once uninstalled, all historical data is permanently wiped from your device.

5. Changes to this Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in Google Play Store requirements or Android OS updates. We will notify users of any significant changes via in-app release notes.
