Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Screen Mentor (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a mobile application that helps you manage screen time, stay focused, and work with virtual mentors. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Screen Mentor app and its related app extensions (collectively, the “App”). Our website is www.screenmentorapp.com.

1. Summary

• Screen Mentor is designed to keep most of your information on your device.
• We do not operate user accounts and we do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs in the App.
• Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment card details.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

2.1 Profile information you provide

During onboarding, you may provide:

• A display name
• Age
• Gender
• An avatar selection

This information is stored locally on your device to personalize greetings, mentor interactions, and in-app experiences. We do not transmit this profile information to our own servers.

2.2 Screen Time and app restriction settings

If you grant permission, the App uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs (including Family Controls and Managed Settings) to let you select apps or categories to limit and to display custom block screens through our Shield extensions.

Your selected app restrictions, daily limit preferences, and shield status are stored locally on your device and, where needed for extensions to work, in a shared app group container on your device. Apple processes Screen Time data under its own policies. We do not receive a list of your installed apps on our servers.

2.3 Notifications

If you allow notifications, the App may send local reminders related to mentor messages and focus supervision. Notification permission is optional. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.

2.4 Purchases and subscriptions

The App offers optional in-app purchases, including individual mentor unlocks and an auto-renewable yearly subscription (“PRO” / “Yearly Mentor Pass”). Purchase history and entitlements are validated through Apple’s StoreKit. We receive only the information needed to unlock features you have purchased, such as product identifiers and transaction status from Apple.

2.5 App usage and preferences stored on your device

We store certain preferences locally to operate core features, such as:

• Selected mentor and unlocked mentor status
• Focus timer and music playlist preferences
• Theme / appearance settings
• Focus score and distraction count for the current day
• Onboarding, review prompt, and permission-related preferences

This data remains on your device unless you delete the App or reset your device.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not intentionally collect:

• Email addresses or passwords (no account registration is required)
• Precise location data
• Contacts, photos, microphone recordings, or camera data
• Browsing history outside the App
• Advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking

4. How Information Is Shared

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information may be shared only in these limited cases:

• Apple: for App Store purchases, subscription management, Screen Time authorization, and system notifications.
• Between the App and its extensions: limited data (such as your display name, selected mentor, and pending mentor video state) is shared through Apple’s app group container so Shield and notification features can work on your device.
• Legal requirements: if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

5. Data Retention

Information stored on your device remains there until you delete the App, clear app data, or reset your device. Purchase records are retained by Apple according to Apple’s policies. You can restore eligible purchases through the App using Apple’s restore purchases feature.

6. Children’s Privacy

Screen Mentor 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 provided personal information through the App, please contact us at Hjd999@outlook.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information from the device-level storage we control.

7. Your Choices and Controls

• You can revoke Screen Time permission in iOS Settings.
• You can disable notifications in iOS Settings.
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID subscription settings.
• You can delete the App to remove locally stored app data from your device.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to an on-device app. However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure. Because most data stays on your device, you should also protect your device with a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

9. International Users

The App is operated from the jurisdictions where it is made available on the App Store. If you use the App outside your home country, your information may be processed on your device and by Apple according to Apple’s global infrastructure and policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on www.screenmentorapp.com with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
