Last Updated: Jul 29, 2025

Introduction

ScreenBreak ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our ScreenBreak mobile application (the "App"). This policy applies to all users of our App.

Information We Collect

1. Device and Screen Time Data

Apple Screen Time API Integration

  • App usage statistics and screen time data to monitor and enforce blocking rules
  • Device activity monitoring to implement scheduled blocking and app launch limits
  • Family Controls integration for app restriction management
  • This data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers

2. Camera and Facial Recognition Data (TrueDepth API)

What Information We Collect

  • 3D facial landmarks and geometry data from Apple's TrueDepth camera
  • Head pose and orientation data (rotation angles around X, Y, Z axes)
  • Face tracking anchor points for detecting neck movement patterns
  • Real-time depth map data to determine head position changes

Purpose of Collection

  • To verify completion of neck exercises designed to encourage healthy screen time breaks
  • To detect specific neck movement patterns (left/right rotation, up/down nodding) required to unlock blocked apps
  • To provide real-time feedback during exercise performance
  • To ensure exercises are performed correctly for optimal user experience

Data Storage and Sharing

  • No Storage: All TrueDepth data is processed in real-time and immediately discarded—nothing is saved to device storage or memory
