Effective date: October 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how INTERVAL accesses, processes, stores, and shares information when you use the INTERVAL Android application or visit the INTERVAL website.
INTERVAL is provided by Eric Kelly as an individual, trading as Scrut, Belgium.
Google Play developer name: Scrut
Support and privacy contact: scrutmail@gmail.com
INTERVAL does not require or offer user accounts. There is no INTERVAL username, password, cloud profile, or cloud progress synchronization.
If you email support, we process the information you send only to respond to support, privacy, security, or legal requests. Sending an email does not create an INTERVAL account.
INTERVAL stores the following information locally on your device when you use the relevant features:
Onboarding choices and settings
Apps selected for protection
App-protection usage records
Earned and spent time balances
Workout and repetition history
Personalized workout plans, attempts, feedback, and adaptive targets
Free-session usage
Step goals and step history
Outdoor run records, distance, pace, and route
Permission and feature preferences
This information is not uploaded to an INTERVAL server. Clearing INTERVAL storage or uninstalling the app may permanently delete it.
INTERVAL uses Android Accessibility only if you deliberately enable app protection. It is used to:
Detect when an app you selected for protection is opened
Display the INTERVAL blocking screen
Measure time spent in selected apps
Deduct locally earned time while a selected app is used
Package names and window-change events used for this feature remain on your device. The service is configured so it cannot retrieve screen content.
With your Usage Access permission, INTERVAL also reads Android app-usage events to check and recover missed usage. INTERVAL keeps recent selected-app intervals, protection settings, and reward timestamps locally to correct time balances without duplicate deductions. Other app events are processed only to identify foreground transitions and are not saved in the usage ledger. INTERVAL does not read or change Digital Wellbeing settings.
INTERVAL does not use Accessibility to read or collect messages, emails, passwords, typed text, contacts, photos, screen contents, or financial information. Accessibility information is not used for advertising, analytics, profiling, or sale.
You can disable app protection at any time in Android Accessibility settings.
You can revoke Usage Access in Android settings. Historical recovery then stops; live accessibility tracking remains available while the protection service is running.
INTERVAL queries apps that expose a launcher activity so you can choose which apps to protect. The installed-app inventory and your selections remain on your device. They are not uploaded or used for advertising or analytics.
If you grant permission, INTERVAL reads step totals from Health Connect to display progress and history, evaluate daily goals, and award locally earned time.
INTERVAL does not write Health Connect data. Step information stays on your device and is not uploaded, sold, or used for advertising.
You can revoke access in Health Connect settings. Clearing INTERVAL data deletes INTERVAL's local step state but does not delete the source records maintained by Health Connect or their originating app.
If you grant camera permission, INTERVAL processes camera frames to count supported exercises and estimate pose. Frames are processed locally and are not saved, recorded, or uploaded by INTERVAL.
MediaPipe runtime code and pose models are bundled with INTERVAL and loaded from private app assets. Camera workouts do not download runtime code or models from external hosts and can run without an internet connection.
You can revoke camera access in Android settings.
If you grant location permission and start an outdoor run, INTERVAL uses precise location to calculate distance, current and average pace, duration, and route progress.
Location may continue to be processed in the background during an active run, with a persistent Android notification. Tracking stops when you finish or discard the run.
Run and location information is stored locally and is not uploaded, sold, or used for advertising. You can revoke location access in Android settings.
INTERVAL offers optional Premium subscriptions through Google Play. Google Play handles payments. INTERVAL does not receive your full card number, bank details, or Google password.
RevenueCat may process the following information to validate purchases, manage Premium access, and provide subscription reporting and analytics:
A generated or pseudonymous app user identifier
Purchase receipts or transaction tokens
Product and subscription status
Premium entitlement status
Limited app, device, and network information
Information needed for purchase recovery, fraud prevention, and support
Google Play and RevenueCat retain subscription and transaction records under their own policies and legal obligations. Uninstalling INTERVAL does not cancel a subscription; subscriptions must be managed through Google Play.
Store reviewers can enter a private reviewer credential to select a temporary, pseudonymous RevenueCat review profile. RevenueCat processes that identifier and its entitlement status to verify access. This does not create a paid subscription or upload local fitness progress. Reviewers can exit this access in Settings.
When you visit the INTERVAL website, its host may process technical information such as your IP address, browser or device type, pages visited, request time, and security or error logs.
This website is hosted by Google Sites. Google may use cookies and process technical usage information to provide, secure, and analyze the website, as described in Google's privacy and cookie policies. INTERVAL does not use this information for advertising or user profiling.
Information is used only as needed to:
Provide INTERVAL features
Protect selected apps
Calculate earned and spent time
Display fitness progress
Verify or recover Premium access
Analyze subscription purchases and subscription performance through RevenueCat
Respond to support and privacy requests
Maintain security and prevent fraud
Comply with law and establish or defend legal claims
For users in the European Economic Area, processing is based as applicable on performing the service you request, your permission or consent, legitimate interests in security and support, and legal obligations.
INTERVAL does not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects through automated processing.
INTERVAL does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be handled only as needed by:
Google Play for payments and subscription management
RevenueCat for subscription validation, Premium access, and subscription reporting and analytics
Website and email hosting providers
Professional advisers where necessary
Authorities where required by law
Some providers may process information outside Belgium or the European Economic Area under their own privacy notices and lawful transfer safeguards, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another permitted mechanism.
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, clear INTERVAL storage, or uninstall INTERVAL. You can clear it through Android Settings > Apps > INTERVAL > Storage > Clear data or Clear storage.
Because INTERVAL has no account or cloud progress service, there is no remote INTERVAL progress account to delete. Clearing data or uninstalling does not delete source Health Connect records, Google Play or RevenueCat purchase records, or support emails already sent.
Support correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the request, security, legal obligations, or disputes. Service providers apply their own retention policies.
INTERVAL uses Android private app storage, disables Android backup for app data, requests limited permissions, and uses encrypted HTTPS connections for subscription checks. No device, software, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability for personal information controlled by INTERVAL, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a supervisory authority.
Contact scrutmail@gmail.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity. Local-only data must be managed on your device because INTERVAL cannot access it.
In Belgium, you may contact the Belgian Data Protection Authority at https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be.
INTERVAL is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not intended for children under 13.
Users who are minors must have parent or guardian permission where required by law. A parent or guardian should supervise exercise, outdoor activity, device permissions, and purchases.
If you believe a child under 13 has sent personal information to INTERVAL support, contact scrutmail@gmail.com.
This policy may be updated when INTERVAL features, service providers, or legal requirements change. Material changes will be communicated as appropriate and the effective date will be revised.
