App Pause — Privacy Policy
Summary
App Pause stays on this phone. It drops internet only for the apps you choose, using a local VPN. There is no App Pause account and no cloud.
Data stored on this phone
- The apps you select
- How long the pause lasts
- Whether a pause is running
- Whether you have finished the introduction
This stays in the app’s private storage.
What the VPN does
Android’s VPN permission lets this app receive traffic for the apps you picked and discard it on the phone. Those packets are not forwarded, stored, or sent to a server. Apps you did not pick keep using Wi-Fi and mobile data as usual. Calls and texts are not blocked.
Permissions
- Notifications — the pinned pause notice shows the apps, the time, and how to end it
- Usage access — only to see if a paused app is still on screen
- Battery — so the pause can keep running after you leave
- Installed apps — the names of launchable apps, so you can choose them
We do not use these permissions for advertising or tracking.
What we do not collect
- Your name, email, or phone number for an account
- Location
- Advertising IDs
- Analytics or crash reports sent to us
- Browsing history or a copy of the traffic that was dropped
Sharing
We do not sell or share your data. Nothing about the pause is uploaded.
Children
App Pause is not directed at children under 13.
