Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2025

Your Privacy is Our Priority

DopamineSwap is designed with privacy at its core. We believe your phone usage data is deeply personal, and it should remain that way. This policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy.

Information We Don't Collect

DopamineSwap does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Specifically:

  • We don't track which apps you use or block
  • We don't store personal information on our servers
  • We don't transfer any data from your device to external servers
  • We don't share personal data with third parties
  • We don't use advertising networks
  • We don't access your contacts, photos, or other personal files

Analytics for App Improvement

To improve DopamineSwap and understand how features are used, we use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage events. This helps us make the app better for everyone.

What Analytics We Collect

We only track anonymous app interaction events such as:

  • Which screens are viewed (e.g., "settings screen opened")
  • Feature usage (e.g., "focus mode started", "swap completed")
  • App performance metrics (e.g., crashes, load times)
  • General device information (e.g., iOS version, device model)

What Analytics We DON'T Collect

  • Which specific apps you block or use
  • Your actual screen time data or usage patterns
  • Personal information or identifiers
  • Content of your activities or accomplishments
  • Your location or IP address

How We Protect Your Privacy

  • All analytics events are completely anonymous
  • No personal data is ever attached to analytics
  • We don't create user profiles or track individuals
  • Analytics data is aggregated and used only for app improvement

Data That Stays on Your Device

All your app usage data, settings, and preferences are stored locally on your iPhone and never leave your device:

  • Screen Time Data: Accessed through Apple's secure FamilyControls framework, never leaves Apple's environment
  • App Settings: Your blocked apps, schedules, and preferences stored locally
  • Usage Metrics: Your focus scores, swap activities, and progress tracked only on your device
  • Manual Activities: Your logged activities and accomplishments saved locally

Third-Party Services

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

We use RevenueCat solely for subscription management. RevenueCat processes purchases through Apple's App Store and only receives:

  • Anonymous purchase tokens from Apple
  • Subscription status (active/inactive)
  • No personal information or usage data

Firebase Analytics (Google)

We use Firebase Analytics solely to understand general app usage patterns through anonymous events. Firebase processes only:

  • Anonymous interaction events (button taps, screen views)
  • General device information (iOS version, device type)
  • No personal information or user-specific data

Apple Services

DopamineSwap uses Apple's system frameworks:

  • FamilyControls: For Screen Time integration (data never leaves Apple's secure environment)
  • App Store: For app distribution and in-app purchases
  • CloudKit: Not used - no cloud sync

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any data, there's nothing to request, delete, or modify. You have complete control:

  • Delete the app at any time to remove all local data
  • Use the in-app "Reset All Data" feature to clear everything
  • Manage subscriptions through your Apple ID settings
  • Revoke Screen Time permissions in iOS Settings

Children's Privacy

DopamineSwap does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app requires Screen Time permissions that typically need parental approval for minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
