PhonePause is a parental control app that locks a child's iPhone during school hours or as discipline. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
PhonePause uses Apple's Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks to manage app restrictions on the device. All restriction data is:
Your settings — including PIN, schedule, allowed apps, and lock state — are stored locally on the device using UserDefaults within an App Group container. They are never uploaded or shared.
PhonePause offers an optional one-time Premium upgrade. All purchase transactions are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or have access to any payment information.
PhonePause does not include any analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or tracking tools. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, or any form of telemetry.
We collect no personal data. PhonePause operates entirely on-device with no network communication other than Apple's StoreKit for in-app purchases.
PhonePause is designed to be set up by a parent or guardian on a child's device. The app does not require account creation or personal information of any kind. No data about the child or their device usage is collected or transmitted.
If we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version here with an updated date.
