Effective Date: October 5, 2026
At TallFella Studios Inc., we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Screenlime ("the app," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application and when you visit our website at https://screenlime.ca.
What Information We Collect
Subscription Information: If you upgrade to Screenlime Pro, Apple collects minimal information necessary to manage your subscription, including subscription status and transaction details. This information is processed by Apple, not directly by us. The free tier requires no payment or account.
Support Communications: If you contact us for support via email (support@tallfellastudios.com), we may retain your email address and the content of your communications to provide assistance.
Website Analytics: When you visit our website, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed and how users navigate between them). Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP. This analytics applies only to the website—not to the Screenlime mobile app.
What We Do NOT Collect (Mobile App)
• Personal Information: We do not require or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personal identifiers for app registration.
• App Usage Data: We do not track, store, or analyze which apps you use or how long you use them.
• Screen Time Data: While Screenlime integrates with iOS Screen Time API to function, all screen time data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
• Location Data: We do not collect or access your location information.
• Device Information: In the app, we do not collect device identifiers, advertising IDs, or other device-specific information.
• Analytics or Tracking: We do not use analytics services or tracking technologies in the app to monitor your behavior.
How Screenlime Works with Your Data
iOS Screen Time Integration: Screenlime uses Apple's Screen Time API to add a Unlock Delay before configured apps open and to enforce Unlock Duration limits with an Unlock Delay to reopen. This integration requires permission to access Screen Time data, but this data never leaves your device.
Local Storage Only: All app configurations, settings, and "progress" statistics (such as app unlock counts and distractions avoided) are stored locally on your device. We cannot access this information.
No User Accounts: The app operates completely anonymously without requiring user registration or account creation.
Third-Party Services
Apple App Store: Subscription management and payments are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple's privacy policy governs how they handle subscription and payment information.
iOS Screen Time API: We integrate with Apple's Screen Time framework to provide our core functionality. Apple's privacy policy governs this system-level integration.
Google Analytics: Our website uses Google Analytics (Google LLC) to measure site traffic and usage. Data collected through Google Analytics is processed by Google according to Google's Privacy Policy . You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at Google Partner Sites .
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not share app usage data with third parties because we do not collect it. Website visit data collected through Google Analytics is shared with Google as described above so we can understand how our site is used. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Data Security
Since most of your data remains on your device and we collect minimal information, your privacy is inherently protected. Any communications with our support team are handled securely, and we follow industry-standard practices to protect any information we do process.
Data Retention
Support Communications: We retain support emails only as long as necessary to provide assistance and resolve issues.
Subscription Data: Subscription information is managed by Apple and retained according to their policies.
App Data: All app settings and usage data are stored locally on your device and can be deleted by uninstalling the app.
Website Analytics: Retention of analytics data is governed by Google Analytics and Google's policies. You can use browser settings, privacy extensions, or Google's tools to limit or block analytics cookies and similar technologies on our website.
Your Rights
• Data Control: Since your data stays on your device, you have complete control over it.
• App Deletion: You can delete all app data by uninstalling Screenlime from your device.
• Support Data: If you've contacted support, you can request deletion of your support communications by emailing us.
• Subscription Management: Manage your subscription through your Apple App Store account settings.
• Website Analytics: You can opt out of Google Analytics on our website using your browser's cookie and tracking controls, or install Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on .
Children's Privacy
Screenlime does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since our app operates anonymously and doesn't collect personal information, it's inherently compliant with children's privacy requirements. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through support communications, please contact us to have it removed.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and, if necessary, through the app or our website. Your continued use of Screenlime after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
