Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Our commitment: We built CTRL to help you reclaim your attention, not to harvest your data. We collect only what's necessary to provide the service, and we will never sell your personal information.

01 / Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly:

  • Account information: Email address when you sign up for the waitlist or create an account
  • Usage data: App usage patterns on your device (processed locally, not sent to our servers)
  • Device information: Device type and operating system version for compatibility

02 / How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the App
  • Send you updates about the App and your account
  • Respond to your comments and questions
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve the user experience

03 / Data Processing Location

CTRL processes most data locally on your device. Your screen time data and app usage patterns never leave your phone. Only essential account information is stored on our servers.

This approach aligns with our philosophy: your attention is yours, and so is your data.

04 / Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

  • With your consent
  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To protect the rights and safety of CTRL and our users
  • With service providers who assist in our operations (under strict confidentiality agreements)

05 / Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS encryption.

06 / Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the services you requested, or for other legitimate purposes such as complying with legal obligations.

You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

07 / Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications

08 / Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses minimal, essential cookies to remember your preferences (like dark/light mode). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics that follow you across the web.

09 / Children's Privacy

CTRL is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

10 / Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
