Privacy Policy
Last updated July 5, 2026
Pausa is built to be private by design. This policy explains, in plain language, what that means. The short version: we don’t require an account, we don’t track you, and your data stays on your device.
No account, no sign-up
Pausa works the moment you open it. We do not ask you to create an account or provide a name, email address, or phone number to use the app.
What stays on your device
Your reflections, pause history, insights, streaks, and settings are stored locally on your iPhone. We do not upload this information to our servers, and we cannot read it.
The apps you choose stay private
Pausa uses Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) framework to present a calm pause before the apps you select. Because of how this framework is designed by Apple, the specific apps and categories you choose are handled privately on your device and are not visible to us.
No tracking and no advertising
Pausa contains no third-party advertising, no advertising identifiers, and no analytics that follow you across apps or the web. We do not sell or share personal information, because we don’t collect it.
Contacting us
If you email us at pausaapp.official@gmail.com, we’ll have whatever you choose to include in that message. We use it only to reply and help, and we don’t add you to any mailing list.
Children's privacy
Pausa is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Because Pausa’s privacy approach is core to the product, we intend to keep it as simple and protective as it is today.
Questions
Questions about your privacy are always welcome. Reach us any time at pausaapp.official@gmail.com, or read the plain-language overview on our Privacy page.
