Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 21, 2026

At Sheriff, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data, specifically regarding Screen Time and usage activity.

1. Screen Time Data

Sheriff uses Apple's Screen Time API (Family Controls) to function. Here is how this data is handled:

• Local Processing: Your detailed app usage history (which apps you open, for how long, and when) is processed locally on your device to calculate your "Discipline Score".
• No Reporting of Specific Activity: We do NOT upload your detailed browsing history or app usage logs to our servers. We do not know specifically which apps you used, only the aggregate categories needed to calculate your score.
• Shared Data: The only data shared with friends is your Discipline Score (a number), your Rank, and generic activity summaries (e.g., "Spent 2h on Social Media") if you opt-in.

2. Data Collection

We collect the following personal information:

• Account Information: Username, display name, and phone number (for authentication).
• Contacts: If you use the "Find Friends" feature, we access your contacts solely to match you with existing users. Your contact list is not stored permanently on our servers.

3. No Data Selling

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information or screen time data to others.

4. Security

We implement security measures designed to protect your data. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
