Who we are
ScreenBreak is operated by Maverick Enterprise. This Privacy Policy explains how ScreenBreak handles information when parents and caregivers use the ScreenBreak iPhone and iPad app, visit screenbreakapp.com, or contact support. For privacy questions or requests, email support@screenbreakapp.com.
What ScreenBreak does
ScreenBreak is a parental Screen Time tool. A parent or authorized caregiver manages limits on a paired child device using Apple’s Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks. App and website selections are represented by Apple as opaque tokens. ScreenBreak does not read messages, photos, browsing history, passwords, or the contents of other apps.
Information we process
Depending on how you use ScreenBreak, we may process: (1) device and family pairing identifiers; (2) device name and model; (3) parental policy settings you choose, such as allowances, schedules, break tasks, and commands; (4) device status used for sync, such as active, break, available, and last-seen time; (5) opaque Family Controls selection tokens needed to re-apply restrictions on the child device; (6) optional profile display name and avatar image data if you add one; (7) push notification tokens if you allow notifications; and (8) support emails and any information you choose to send when you contact us. Parent settings can also be protected with a PIN stored in the device Keychain and optional Face ID or device authentication; the PIN stays on the device.
How pairing and sync work
ScreenBreak pairs devices with a short-lived six-digit code and syncs family settings using Apple CloudKit. When devices are nearby, ScreenBreak may also use Multipeer Connectivity over the local network. Treat the pairing code like a temporary secret and share it only with people you intend to authorize. ScreenBreak does not require a separate child email account to pair a controlled device.
What we do not collect in the current iOS app
The current ScreenBreak iOS app does not create parent email/password accounts inside the app, does not use third-party account backends such as Supabase for sign-in, does not use the camera for QR pairing, does not collect continuous location or GPS history, does not use advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking, and does not collect the contents of other apps, messages, or browsing activity.
Website and support
If you visit screenbreakapp.com or email support, our website host and email providers may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, and delivery or error logs needed to operate and secure the site and support inbox. If you ask about beta access or support, we process the email address and message content you send.
Purchases
If you buy a ScreenBreak subscription through the App Store, Apple processes payment. ScreenBreak may receive purchase or entitlement status needed to unlock paid features. ScreenBreak does not receive your full payment-card details. Apple’s privacy policy applies to App Store transactions.
How we use information
We use the information above to pair devices, apply and sync parental controls, show device status to authorized caregivers, send optional sync-related notifications, operate the website and support, improve reliability and security, and comply with law. We do not sell personal information and we do not use third-party advertising networks to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
How information is shared
Family information is available to the parent or caregiver using the paired parent role on their device. Apple provides Screen Time services, iCloud/CloudKit storage and sync, push delivery, and App Store commerce. Website hosting and support email routing providers process technical and support data as needed to run those services. We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect ScreenBreak, our users, or others from fraud, abuse, or security threats.
Children’s information
ScreenBreak is intended to be set up and managed by a parent or authorized guardian. It is not directed to children as an independent online service. Controlled devices do not need a separate child email account to pair. Contact support@screenbreakapp.com if you believe a child’s information was submitted without proper authorization and we will investigate and address it.
Retention and deletion
CloudKit records used for pairing and sync are kept while needed to provide the service. Unpair devices in the app to remove access. You may also delete the app and revoke optional permissions such as Face ID, Local Network, and Notifications in iOS Settings. For access, correction, or deletion requests, email support@screenbreakapp.com. Deleting local app data or unpairing may not remove every iCloud record immediately; we will help review remaining personal data on request after verifying that you are authorized. Deleting the app does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription.
Your choices
You can decline optional permissions, unpair devices, delete the app, and contact support for privacy requests. Where applicable law gives you rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about personal data, we will respond to verified requests. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA; ScreenBreak does not sell personal information as that term is commonly understood for advertising.
Security and international processing
We rely on Apple platform security, including Keychain storage, encrypted transport, Screen Time authorization, and CloudKit access controls. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. Apple and other service providers may process information in the United States or other countries where they operate.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy as ScreenBreak changes. The updated policy will be posted at https://screenbreakapp.com/privacy with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be noted in the app or on the website.
