ScrollMeter Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

ScrollMeter is a digital well-being app designed to help users understand their short-video usage habits across Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

1. Use of Accessibility Service

ScrollMeter uses the Android Accessibility Service to detect short-video transitions and calculate usage statistics in supported apps.

This service:

• Detects swipe and usage events only in supported apps such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

• Calculates swipe counts, usage duration, session count and longest-session information.

• Does not collect messages, passwords, payment information, personal conversations, photos or videos.

• Does not create screenshots, audio recordings or video recordings.

• Does not remotely control the device or perform actions on behalf of the user.

• Does not send or sell usage statistics to third parties.

2. Data Processed

ScrollMeter processes the following statistics locally on the device:

• Instagram Reels swipe count and usage time

• TikTok swipe count and usage time

• YouTube Shorts swipe count and usage time

• Session count and longest-session information

• Daily and 7-day usage history

• User-defined swipe and time limits

• Notification preferences

3. Data Storage

Statistics generated by ScrollMeter are stored locally on the user's device. ScrollMeter does not upload this data to its own servers.

4. Data Sharing

ScrollMeter does not share or sell usage data to advertisers, analytics providers or other third parties.

5. CSV Export

Users may export the last 7 days of statistics as a CSV file. The user controls where and with whom the exported file is shared.

6. Notifications

ScrollMeter may show local notifications when user-defined swipe or time limits are reached. Notification permission can be disabled in the device settings.

7. Data Deletion

Users can delete all locally stored ScrollMeter statistics through the “Delete all data” option in the app. Uninstalling the app also removes its local app data.

8. Children's Privacy

ScrollMeter is not specifically designed for children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Security

ScrollMeter follows a privacy-focused approach by keeping data on the device and avoiding unnecessary data collection. However, no electronic storage method is completely risk-free.

10. Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated when app features or legal requirements change. The latest revision date is shown at the top of this page.
