1. Who is responsible
BrainSober operates BrainSober and is responsible for the processing described in this policy. You can contact us at privacy@brainsober.app for privacy questions or requests.
2. Information that stays on your device
BrainSober stores your Screen Time selection tokens, protection plan, Brain Energy, Focus Credits, activity history, settings, and related progress on your device or in Apple’s private App Group storage shared by the BrainSober app and its Screen Time extensions.
Apple’s Family Activity picker does not give BrainSober the human-readable names of the apps you select. BrainSober does not upload your selection tokens, protection rules, or detailed Screen Time activity history to our servers.
3. Information processed by service providers
Anonymous product analytics
We use PostHog to understand how the app performs and which product flows are useful. It may process product interaction events, other usage events, an anonymous installation identifier, app version, device or operating-system information, locale, and basic diagnostics. We do not send Family Activity tokens or readable selected-app identities. Person profiles, element autocapture, and session replay are disabled.
Subscriptions and purchases
Apple processes App Store payments. RevenueCat helps provide and restore subscription access, and Superwall presents subscription offers. These providers may process purchase history, product identifiers, transaction or receipt information, subscription status, and an anonymous app-user identifier for app functionality.
BrainSober does not provide user accounts. The information above is not linked to a BrainSober profile and is not used by us for cross-app tracking or third-party advertising.
4. Permissions
- Screen Time: required to let you privately select apps, monitor user-configured thresholds, and display protective shields.
- Notifications: optional and used only for reminders and status alerts that you enable.
You can change these permissions in iOS Settings.
5. The BrainSober website
This website does not use advertising cookies or behavioral analytics. Our hosting provider, Vercel, may process standard request information such as IP address, browser information, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs to deliver and protect the site. If we add website analytics or a mailing list later, we will update this policy before doing so.
6. Why we process information
We process limited information to provide requested app functionality, maintain subscriptions, keep the app secure, diagnose problems, and improve product performance. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our contract, our legitimate interests in operating and improving BrainSober, consent for optional permissions, and compliance with legal obligations.
7. Sharing and sale
We do not sell personal information. We share only the limited information described above with Apple and service providers that operate hosting, analytics, subscription, and paywall functionality, or when required by law, needed to protect rights and safety, or involved in a business reorganization subject to appropriate safeguards.
8. Retention and deletion
Local information remains until you reset it in the app or delete the app. Service providers retain limited analytics, security, and purchase records according to their configured retention periods and legal obligations. Apple maintains transaction records under its own policies.
To request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection where those rights apply, email privacy@brainsober.app. We may need limited information to verify and fulfill the request. Some purchase records may need to be handled directly through Apple.
9. International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, transfers are protected through recognized legal safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information processed for BrainSober. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
11. Children
BrainSober is a general-audience productivity and wellbeing app and is not directed to children below the age at which they can consent to data processing in their country. If you believe a child has provided information contrary to applicable law, contact us so we can review the request.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when BrainSober, its service providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy here and update the date above. Questions can be sent to privacy@brainsober.app or support@brainsober.app.
