Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2025

Scroll Break ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Data We Collect

• Email Address: We collect your email ID only for login/signup verification through Google Firebase Authentication.
• Local Usage Data: App usage statistics are stored locally on your device. We do not transmit or store this data on our servers.

2. Permissions We Use

Scroll Break requires the following Android permissions to function effectively:

• PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: To monitor which apps are being used, so Scroll Break can enforce your chosen screen time limits and remind you to take breaks.
• SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: To display gentle reminder overlays when your usage limit is exceeded, helping you take mindful breaks.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE: To keep the app’s monitoring service running reliably in the background while maintaining performance and battery efficiency.
• REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS: To ensure Scroll Break continues functioning even when your device’s battery optimization might otherwise stop background activity.
• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: To allow users to select any installed app for monitoring or restriction, ensuring Scroll Break works consistently across all apps.
• SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM: To schedule precise reminders and cooldowns when your usage session ends, ensuring accurate time-based blocking.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: To notify you about active monitoring, cooldown periods, or break reminders in a clear and user-friendly manner.
• INTERNET: To enable basic app analytics, updates, and non-personalized communication with our servers (if applicable). No personal or behavioral data is shared.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Authenticate you via Google.
• Store your usage history and preferences locally.
• Help enforce self-imposed screen time restrictions.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Firebase Authentication by Google for user verification. Your data is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.

5. Your Privacy Rights

As we do not store or track personal usage data on our servers, you have full control over your data on your device. You may uninstall the app at any time to delete your data.
