Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how LitLock ("LitLock," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the LitLock mobile application and our related legal and support webpages (together, the "Services").

LitLock does not require an account and does not operate a backend server for Screen Time data, app selections, schedules, session history, statistics, goals, or preferences. Those items are processed and stored locally on your device. Limited purchase information is processed by Apple and RevenueCat so that LitLock can offer, verify, and restore purchases.

2. Screen Time Information

If you grant Screen Time access, LitLock uses Apple's Family Controls, Device Activity, and Managed Settings frameworks to let you select apps, app categories, and websites; apply restrictions; and display device-usage information.

This information may include:

• opaque tokens representing apps, categories, and web domains you select;
• app names and icons supplied by Apple for on-device display;
• the amount of time apps were used; and
• the schedules and rules you create for restrictions.

Screen Time information is processed on your device and within Apple's Screen Time extensions. LitLock does not transmit this information to us, RevenueCat, Cloudflare, advertisers, or analytics providers. Apple intentionally limits what LitLock can identify about your selections, and selected apps, categories, and websites are stored as opaque system tokens where supported by Apple's frameworks.

Screen Time access is optional. You may decline the permission or revoke it in your device settings. Some blocking and usage-display features will not work without it.

3. Information Stored Locally

LitLock stores the following information in the app's local storage or shared app-group storage on your device:

• app, category, and web-domain selections used for restrictions;
• lock sessions, recurring schedules, and related settings;
• session history, daily progress, and statistics;
• goals, appearance, language, and other preferences;
• onboarding and permission status; and
• local notification preferences and schedules.

We do not receive this local information. It remains on your device unless you choose to share it with us, for example in a support email. Your operating system may include app data in a device backup according to your backup settings and the platform provider's policies.

4. Notifications

If you enable lock reminders, LitLock schedules notifications locally on your device. LitLock does not operate a push-notification server and does not send a push token or your reminder schedule to us. You may disable notifications in LitLock or in your device settings.

5. Purchases and Subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. LitLock does not receive your full payment-card details. We use RevenueCat, Inc. ("RevenueCat") to retrieve product offerings, verify purchase and subscription status, provide paid features, prevent purchase fraud, and restore purchases.

Because LitLock does not use accounts, the RevenueCat software development kit creates an anonymous app-user identifier. RevenueCat may process that identifier, purchase and subscription history, transaction and receipt information, entitlement status, and limited technical information such as device type, operating system, and service-activity timestamps such as the last time the app contacted RevenueCat. LitLock does not provide RevenueCat with your name, email address, contacts, precise location, or advertising identifier, and we do not use RevenueCat data for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Apple and RevenueCat process information under their own privacy policies. You can learn more in the Apple Privacy Policy and the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

6. Support Communications

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, which may include your email address, message, attachments, and ordinary email metadata. We use this information only to respond to your request, maintain reasonable support records, protect the Services, and comply with legal obligations. Please do not send sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your request.

7. Website Information

Our legal and support webpages are hosted by Cloudflare. When you visit them, Cloudflare may automatically process limited technical request information, such as your IP address, browser and device information, requested URL, and security-related logs, to deliver and protect the webpages. LitLock does not add advertising pixels, cross-site tracking technologies, or advertising cookies to these pages.

For more information, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

8. Information We Do Not Collect

LitLock does not use the Services to collect:

• an account password or account profile;
• your name, phone number, contacts, or precise location;
• photos, camera recordings, microphone recordings, or health data;
• advertising identifiers for advertising or tracking;
• Screen Time activity on a LitLock server; or
• data for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not track users across apps or websites owned by other companies.

9. How Information Is Used

Where information is processed, it is used to:

• provide app restrictions, schedules, device-usage displays, and local reminders;
• offer, verify, and restore purchases and subscriptions;
• respond to support requests;
• maintain the security and integrity of the Services; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

10. When Information Is Disclosed

We disclose limited information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers. Apple processes purchases, RevenueCat manages purchase entitlements, Cloudflare hosts our webpages, and our email provider processes support email.
• Legal requirements and safety. We may disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a valid government request, or to protect rights, safety, and the security of the Services.
• Business transfer. If LitLock is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, relevant information may be transferred subject to this Policy and applicable law.

11. Retention and Deletion

• Local app data remains on your device until you change or delete it, clear the app's data where supported, or uninstall the app. Device backups are controlled by your platform and backup settings.
• Support email is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to answer your request, maintain support and security records, resolve disputes, and comply with law.
• Purchase information is retained by Apple and RevenueCat according to their policies and as necessary to validate purchases, prevent fraud, maintain transaction records, and comply with law.
• Website request information is retained by Cloudflare according to its policies and our applicable service configuration.

To request deletion of information held directly by us, contact us at the address below. Because LitLock does not use accounts and RevenueCat identifiers are anonymous, we may need limited purchase or technical information to locate a relevant record. Apple account and transaction information must generally be managed through Apple.

12. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• decline or revoke Screen Time and notification permissions in your device settings;
• delete local information by removing schedules or history in the app where available, clearing app data where supported, or uninstalling the app;
• manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account;
• choose not to contact us by email; and
• contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held directly by us.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing; withdraw consent; receive portable data; or complain to a data-protection authority. We will honor applicable rights after reasonably verifying the request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

13. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on:

• performance of a contract to provide requested app features, purchases, restoration, and support;
• consent for optional device permissions and communications where required;
• legitimate interests in securing, supporting, and improving the reliability of the Services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; and
• legal obligations relating to transactions, requests, disputes, and lawful process.

14. International Processing

Apple, RevenueCat, Cloudflare, and email service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, we rely on legally recognized safeguards for international transfers. Their processing is also governed by their respective privacy policies and contractual commitments.

15. Security

LitLock minimizes external data processing by keeping Screen Time and app-usage information on the device. We use platform security features and limit third-party processing to services needed for purchases, webpage delivery, and support. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Children's Privacy

LitLock is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it. A parent or guardian should supervise any child's use of Screen Time restrictions and purchases.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to LitLock, our service providers, or applicable law. We will post the revised Policy on this page and update the date above. If a change materially affects how information is handled, we will provide additional notice when required by law.
