Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
Detox ("the app", "we") is a self-control app for iPhone that helps you block distracting apps for a period you choose. This policy explains what data the app handles. The short version: your data stays on your device.
Data we do not collect
- We do not require an account, login, email, or phone number.
- We do not collect your name, contacts, location, photos, or browsing history.
- We do not show ads and we do not use advertising trackers.
- We do not sell data to anyone.
Screen Time data stays on your device
Detox uses Apple's Screen Time technology (the Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks) to block the apps you select. Which apps you choose and how you use your device is processed entirely on your iPhone by Apple's frameworks. This information never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us or to anyone else.
Purchases
Challenges and temporary unlocks are one-time purchases processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. To deliver purchases reliably, the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-infrastructure service, which processes your purchase history together with a random anonymous identifier generated for your device. This identifier cannot be used to identify you personally. RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.
Data retention and deletion
Your challenge progress and settings are stored locally on your iPhone and are deleted when you delete the app. Anonymous purchase records held by RevenueCat can be deleted on request — contact us at the address below.
Children
Detox is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version on this page and update the date above.
