1. Who we are and scope
Unsway ("Unsway," "we," "us," or "our") is the developer and operator of the Unsway app and unswayapp.com. This Privacy Policy applies to information handled through the app, the website, and support communications.
Unsway is an intentional-focus tool. It is designed to help a person manage distractions on their own device. The current version does not create user accounts and is not a remote monitoring service.
2. Information we handle
Screen Time and focus information stored on your device
On Apple platforms, Unsway uses Apple's Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks. With your permission, the app handles:
- your Screen Time authorization status;
- the apps, categories, and web domains you select for a focus mode;
- focus modes, schedules, session timing, and app settings; and
- the current state required to apply or remove a block.
Apple represents selected apps and websites using opaque system tokens. Unsway stores those selections in the app's private shared container so the app and its Screen Time extensions can enforce your choices. We do not send those tokens, selected app names, bundle identifiers, web domains, or your browsing history to our analytics services.
Analytics information
We use Firebase Analytics and Amplitude to understand whether core flows work and how the product is used. Analytics may include:
- app launches, onboarding steps, screens viewed, and feature interactions;
- whether Screen Time permission was granted or denied;
- counts of selected apps, categories, or websites, but not their identities;
- focus mode type, planned duration, session outcome, and schedule creation;
- paywall, purchase, and restore events; and
- app version, operating system, device model, language, country or approximate region, network information, IP address, and pseudonymous app or device identifiers that may be generated by our providers.
We do not use this information for targeted advertising or cross-app tracking.
Subscription and transaction information
RevenueCat helps us manage subscription status and entitlements. It may process a pseudonymous app user identifier, product identifiers, purchase and renewal status, subscription dates, storefront, and transaction information supplied by Apple or Google. Payment credentials are handled by the applicable app store and are not received by Unsway.
Support information
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, message, screenshots, app version, and diagnostic details. Please do not send Screen Time selections or other information that is not needed to resolve your request.
Website information
This website does not currently use advertising cookies or website analytics. Our hosting infrastructure may create short-lived technical logs containing an IP address, request time, requested page, browser or user-agent information, and security events so the site can be delivered and protected.
3. How and why we use information
We use information only as reasonably necessary to:
- provide focus sessions, schedules, blocking, settings, and subscription access;
- maintain security, prevent fraud, diagnose failures, and restore purchases;
- measure product performance and improve features;
- answer support, privacy, and legal requests; and
- comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms.
Depending on where you live, our legal bases may include performing our contract with you, your consent, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving a safe, reliable product. Where consent is required, you may withdraw it for future processing.
5. Storage, retention, and security
Focus modes, selections, schedules, and session records are stored locally until you remove them, reset the app, or uninstall it. Analytics and subscription information is retained according to our provider settings and only for as long as needed for the purposes described above. Support communications may be kept while a request is active and afterward when reasonably necessary for security, records, or legal obligations.
Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers are protected through contractual and legal safeguards.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including access controls and encryption in transit where supported. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your choices and rights
- Screen Time access: You can deny or revoke permission in your device settings. Blocking features will then stop working.
- Local data: You can remove modes and schedules in the app. Uninstalling Unsway normally removes its local data after active sessions and schedules are stopped.
- Purchases: You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple App Store or Google Play account.
- Privacy request: Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection regarding information associated with you.
Because the app does not require an account and most identifiers are pseudonymous, we may need information that reasonably verifies and locates the relevant record. We will not request more information than necessary. See our Data Deletion page for request instructions.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or another region with a privacy regulator, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
7. Children
Unsway is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If local law requires parental consent for a minor's use, the minor may use the service only with that consent. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product, providers, or law changes. We will post the updated version here, change the effective date, and provide additional notice when required.
