Privacy Policy

Last updated June 23, 2026

Screentime Nanny ("we", "us") is a parental-control app that helps families turn screen time into a balance kids earn and spend. We built it to be private by design. This policy explains, in plain language, what we do and don't do with your information.

The short version

• Your child's app activity and credit balance stay on the device.
• We do not sell your data, show ads, or track your family across the web.
• We collect the minimum needed to run your account and improve the app.
• The app is designed to be COPPA-aligned and built on Apple Screen Time and Android family controls.

What we collect

Account information

If you create an account or start a subscription, we process your email address and a subscription identifier so we can deliver the service, send your optional weekly digest, and provide support.

Diagnostic data

With your permission, we may collect anonymized crash reports and basic, aggregated usage metrics (for example, "a quest was completed") to find bugs and improve features. This data is not tied to your child's identity.

Support messages

When you contact us, we keep your message and contact details so we can help and follow up.

What stays on the device

The heart of Screentime Nanny — which apps cost or earn credits, your child's live balance, quest history, bedtime schedules and reports — is stored locally on your device and within Apple's and Google's secure family-control frameworks. We use the operating system's own screen-time tools to apply shields; we do not run hidden background surveillance and we cannot see the content inside your child's apps.

Children & COPPA

Screentime Nanny is a tool for parents. Accounts and subscriptions are set up and controlled by a parent or guardian. The child-facing "Play Zone" shows only the balance, app rates and quests configured by the parent.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for our own purposes, and we design the product to align with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and comparable regulations. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Sharing & selling

We never sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the app (such as crash reporting and email delivery), under contracts that limit them to that purpose, or when required by law.

Payments

Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your payment details are handled by those platforms — we never see your full card information. We receive only the subscription status needed to unlock the app.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your account information at any time. Because most data lives on your device, deleting the app removes the local balance, quests and reports. To request deletion of any account data we hold, email us and we'll act within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
