This Privacy Policy explains how Alma Tech, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Brainripe app and website (the “Service”). We built Brainripe to help you spend less time on your phone, not to harvest data from it.
1. Screen Time Data
Brainripe uses Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, and Device Activity frameworks to measure usage and power features like your ripeness score and app limits. Apple designed these frameworks so that detailed app usage is processed on your device. We do not sell your Screen Time data or use it for advertising.
2. Information We Collect
- Information you provide: such as your first name for in-app greetings, the habits you log, and anything you send us through the contact form (name, email, and message).
- App data: your settings, streaks, stickers, and island progress, which may be stored on your device and, if enabled, in your iCloud account or our servers so it can be restored.
- Diagnostics: basic, de-identified crash reports and performance data that help us fix bugs.
- Purchases: if you buy a subscription, Apple processes the payment. We receive a confirmation of your subscription status, not your payment details.
3. How We Use Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
- To respond to your messages and support requests;
- To send notifications you have opted into, such as reminders to keep your streak going;
- To protect the security and integrity of the Service and comply with legal obligations.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Service (for example, hosting, email delivery, and crash reporting), under contracts that limit their use of it; when required by law; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply.
5. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Contact form messages are kept as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Deleting the app removes data stored only on your device.
6. Your Choices and Rights
You can revoke Screen Time and notification permissions at any time in your iPhone settings. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU/UK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us through our contact form and choose “Privacy request.” We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
7. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work hard to keep your data safe.
9. International Users
We are based in the United States. If you use the Service from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
