Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

PrettyPlease combines on-device Screen Time controls with account features. The app data that controls blocking stays on your iPhone. Account information you provide is sent to PrettyPlease so we can create, secure, and manage your account.

What we collect

Depending on how you use PrettyPlease, we may collect:

Account information. Your email address, username, display name, account status, account creation time, and the policy versions you accepted.
Sign-in information. If you use email sign-in, we process your email address and verification challenge. If you use Sign in with Apple, we receive the Apple-provided account identifier and any email or display name Apple provides for the sign-in.
Authentication and security data. We issue session tokens, store token hashes, store hashed email verification codes, and process session timestamps, expiration times, and request metadata needed to protect the service.
Product analytics. We collect lightweight first-party analytics events from the app so we can understand which features are working and where users get stuck. These events may include a generated app-install identifier, app version, build number, screen or route name, event timestamp, sign-in state, and simple feature counts or choices such as selected daily limit, unlock duration, unlock count, app-category name, and selected app count. If you are signed in, these analytics events may be linked to your PrettyPlease account.
Support messages. If you email us, we receive the contents of your message, your email address, and any screenshots or device details you choose to include.

The PrettyPlease website is a static site. We do not add analytics cookies or ad-tracking cookies to it, although our hosting providers may process standard technical logs needed to serve and protect the site.

What stays on your device

Screen Time (Family Controls). You pick which apps and categories to protect. Apple's Screen Time framework handles the blocking; PrettyPlease never sees the underlying app identities — just opaque tokens managed by iOS.
Microphone & Speech Recognition. Used only during the voice-unlock moment to verify you spoke the unlock phrase. Audio is not stored or transmitted by PrettyPlease.
Local storage. Your blocked-app selections, daily limit, unlock history, and onboarding state are stored in an on-device SQLite database and in UserDefaults. This data is only accessible to PrettyPlease itself.

PrettyPlease does not upload or sync your Screen Time selection tokens, protected app identities, voice recordings, raw speech audio, or Screen Time usage details to your account. Product analytics may include high-level counts or choices, such as the number of selected apps in a category, the selected daily limit, and unlock durations, but not the specific protected apps you chose.

How we use information

We use the information described above to:

Create accounts and let you sign in.
Send and verify email login codes.
Maintain your profile, username, and session state.
Protect against abuse, unauthorized access, and service misuse.
Understand feature usage and improve reliability.
Respond to support requests.
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Third parties

PrettyPlease does not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising. We may share information with service providers that help us operate PrettyPlease, such as hosting providers, security infrastructure, and transactional email providers. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple processes that sign-in according to Apple's own terms and privacy practices.

PrettyPlease does not include third-party analytics, ad networks, or tracking SDKs in the app. Product analytics are collected by PrettyPlease's own server and are not used for third-party advertising.

Retention and deletion

We keep account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, protect against abuse, resolve disputes, or comply with law. Email verification challenges and session records are kept only as long as needed for sign-in, security, and audit purposes. Product analytics are kept for as long as they are useful to understand and improve PrettyPlease, unless a longer retention period is needed for security, abuse prevention, or legal reasons.

Deleting the app removes local PrettyPlease data from that device. It does not automatically delete your PrettyPlease account. To delete your account, use the in-app account deletion option if available or email hi@foflabs.com. Account deletion does not automatically erase local data already stored on your devices, so delete the app or use any in-app reset controls if you also want to clear local data.

Children's privacy

PrettyPlease is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts. If we learn that we collected account information from a child under 13, we will delete or disable that account. If you believe this happened, contact us at hi@foflabs.com.

Your choices and rights

You can sign out of your account in the app. You can clear local app data by deleting PrettyPlease from your device. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email hi@foflabs.com.

Security

We use technical safeguards designed to protect account data, including hashed verification codes, hashed session tokens on the server, and Keychain storage for the app's saved session. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to keep the account surface intentionally small.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will move and a summary of the change will appear here. Material changes that would alter what is stored or transmitted will be called out in the app itself before they take effect.
