Information We Use
DOTS uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls, Device
Activity, and Managed Settings) to measure app usage and apply the
limits you set. This usage data is provided and kept on your device
by the operating system; the app uses it only to show your activity
and enforce the blocks you choose.
DOTS stores your profile — such as your name, birth date, daily
goal, and streak — on your device with SwiftData. If you are signed
in to iCloud, this profile syncs through your own private iCloud
(CloudKit) so it is available across your Apple devices.
Information We Do Not Collect
DOTS does not collect, sell, or share personal information. Your
screen-time data, profile, and streak are processed on your device
and synced only through your private iCloud — they are not uploaded
to any Novarch server.
DOTS does not use third-party tracking, advertising identifiers,
analytics SDKs, or tracking domains. Its App Store privacy label is
"Data Not Collected."
Screen Time Permission
To monitor usage and block apps, DOTS requests Screen Time
authorization. This is handled entirely by Apple. The list of apps
you choose to limit is represented by opaque tokens that the app
cannot read as identifiable information, and that data never leaves
your device.
Purchases
Premium subscriptions and one-time unlocks are processed by Apple
through the App Store using StoreKit. Novarch does not receive or
store your payment information. Subscriptions are managed in your
Apple Account settings.
Notifications
With your permission, DOTS schedules reminders and streak
notifications locally on your device. No notification content is
sent to or through a Novarch server.
