Welcome to Pause — Regain Control. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use the app and related services.
Pause — Regain Control helps you build habits with streak tracking, manage urges with short reset tools, and view progress insights. The app is local-first, does not require an account, and does not sell your personal data.
The app stores the following data locally on your device to make the experience work:
This data is stored locally in the app’s container on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.
Pause — Regain Control does not request access to sensitive device permissions such as contacts, photos, or location. If we introduce optional permissions in the future, you will be prompted at the time and can decline.
We do not collect personally identifiable information. Optional features such as contacting support may involve you voluntarily providing an email address or message content; this information is used only to respond to your request.
When errors occur, Apple may provide aggregated diagnostic data. This may include device information, OS version, and app usage context. We use this data only to improve app stability.
The Pause — Regain Control mobile app does not use cookies. Our website may use cookies to remember preferences and for basic analytics. You can accept or refuse cookies in your browser settings; refusing cookies may limit certain website features, but will not affect the mobile app.
We do not share your data with third parties for marketing. We do not use advertising or analytics SDKs. If we use service providers in the future (for example, for crash reporting), they will be bound by confidentiality obligations and limited to providing those services.
We value your trust and use commercially acceptable means to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. These external sites are not operated by us. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
