Privacy Policy – Future Self - App Control 

Privacy Policy for Future Self – App Control

Last updated: January 9, 2026

Future Self – App Control (“the app”) is designed to help users build healthier digital habits by limiting and controlling app usage. Your privacy is our priority. This policy outlines how we handle your data and the permissions required for the app to function.

1. Information Collection and Use

Future Self does not collect, store, or share personal information (such as your name, email, or contacts).

• Local Processing: All data regarding your app usage, limits, and settings remains entirely on your device.

• No Data Sale: We do not sell, trade, or rent any user data to third parties.

2. Accessibility Service Permission

Future Self uses Android’s Accessibility Service only to:

• Detect when selected apps are opened.

• Launch a local focus or blocking screen based on the app limits you configure.

The Accessibility Service is NOT used to:

• Read screen content or messages.

• Capture keystrokes or record text input.

• Collect or store any data externally.

3. Usage Stats Permission

The app uses Android’s Usage Stats permission to:

• Display screen time information to you.

This data is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted or shared with any external servers.

4. App Visibility Permission

Future Self uses app visibility access to display a list of installed apps so you can choose which apps to limit or block.

This information is used only within the app, processed locally on your device, and is never transmitted or shared.

5. Battery Optimization Permission

Future Self may request permission to ignore battery optimizations to ensure that app blocking and focus features continue to work reliably in the background.

This permission does not grant access to personal data and does not change how data is processed or stored.

6. Data Retention

Because your data is stored locally, it is automatically deleted when you uninstall the app or clear the app’s data in your device settings.

7. Children’s Privacy

Future Self does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
