OffAuto is an on-device app that notices compulsive phone loops and interrupts them. Your behaviour signals, your Reality Log and your preferences are stored on your device and are never uploaded to us.
OffAuto has no accounts and no sign-in. We operate no user database, so there is no record of you on our side to look up, export or delete. The only personal data that leaves your device is the purchase information the app stores handle when you subscribe.
The following is written to the app's local storage on your phone. It is not transmitted to OffAuto servers, and it is removed when you reset local data or uninstall the app.
There is no sign-up, no sign-in and no account in OffAuto. The app does not ask for your name, your email address or a password, and it has no screen that could collect them.
Because no account exists, we hold no user record, no password credential and no session history. Everything the app knows about you lives in its storage on your device, and clearing local data or uninstalling the app removes it.
On Android you can optionally grant Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS). When granted, OffAuto reads the total foreground minutes reported by the operating system for the past hour so that a loop which started in another app is still detected.
OffAuto never reads app content, messages, keystrokes, browsing history or screen contents. The usage figure is used for the current classification and is not stored or transmitted. You can revoke the access at any time in Android Settings, and the app keeps working with in-app signals only.
Device-wide monitoring on iOS requires Apple's Family Controls entitlement. OffAuto has not been granted that entitlement, so no Screen Time or device-wide data is read on iOS in this release. The app states this openly on the Device capabilities screen rather than implying a capability it does not have.
Subscriptions are sold by Apple or Google, not by us. RevenueCat, Inc. sits between the app and the stores to determine whether your Pro entitlement is active.
RevenueCat receives a pseudonymous subscriber identifier generated by its SDK together with the purchase and renewal events from the store. OffAuto receives back only the entitlement status needed to unlock Pro. We never see your card details, and we cannot see them.
OffAuto can send a small amount of privacy-preserving product telemetry so we can tell whether the app is stable and whether interruptions actually work. This is configured at build time. In the current released build no analytics endpoint and no crash-reporting address is configured, which means the feature is inert: no telemetry is transmitted and no monitoring identifier is created on your device.
When a build does enable it, only a fixed, published list of counted events can be sent. There is no free-text field anywhere in the format, and any property not on the list is discarded before transmission rather than redacted afterwards.
On-device data persists until you clear the Reality Log, reset local data or uninstall the app. We hold no account records, because there are no accounts. Purchase records are retained by the stores and RevenueCat for as long as their own legal and accounting obligations require. Where product telemetry is enabled in a build, aggregate event records are retained for no longer than 13 months and the install identifier they carry is erased from your device when you reset local data.
The only thing OffAuto's server does is publish the pages you are reading. The app sends it no behaviour data, no Reality Log entries and no identifiers, and there is no endpoint that would accept them.
Requests for these pages produce an ordinary web-server log line — the path requested and the time. There is no user id to attach to it, because the app has no accounts and transmits none.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or a comparable jurisdiction you can request access, correction, deletion, portability or object to processing. Write to systemdisconnectofficial@gmail.com and we respond within 30 days.
In practice most of these rights you exercise directly, without asking us: because your data is on your device and we hold no copy, access and portability are Settings → Privacy Center → Export my data, and erasure is Settings → Reset local data or uninstalling the app. Both are immediate and need no request.
For purchase records, contact Apple, Google or RevenueCat — those are held by them under their own policies, and we cannot delete them on your behalf.
OffAuto is not directed at children under 13. The app has no accounts and collects no personal data server-side, so there is no children's data for us to hold.
Our processors operate in the United States. Where personal data is transferred out of the EEA or the UK, that transfer relies on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses as incorporated in the processors' data-processing agreements.
If the app starts handling data differently, this policy is updated before the change ships and the effective date above changes with it.
