Pauzo: App Blocker ("Pauzo") is made by an independent developer. This policy explains what Pauzo does with your data. Short version: your app usage stays on your iPhone, and we never see it.
Pauzo uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, DeviceActivity) to block the apps you choose and to run your schedules and daily limits. Apple only gives Pauzo anonymous tokens for the apps you select, not their names or your browsing history. Usage reports are drawn by Apple's system on your device. None of this data leaves your iPhone, and we have no server that receives it.
Pauzo keeps your settings, schedules, hold-back counts, saved time, streaks and open-reason notes locally on your iPhone.
Your badges, garden flowers and make-up cards sync through your own iCloud account so they survive a reinstall. This data is stored by Apple under your Apple ID. We cannot access it.
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are processed by Apple. We never receive your payment details.
No accounts, no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs, no selling or sharing of data.
Pauzo is a self-control tool for the device owner. It is not a parental-control app and is not directed at children under 13.
Delete Pauzo to remove all local data. To remove iCloud data, go to Settings › [your name] › iCloud › Manage Storage.
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Questions: hi@pauzo.app
