This Privacy Policy describes how OUTSIDE FIRST ("we", "us", "the App") handles your information. OUTSIDE FIRST is a screen time and app blocking tool that rewards you for completing a short outdoor session with sunlight and movement before unlocking your chosen apps. We are committed to collecting as little as possible and being transparent about what we do collect.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Your email address, only if you choose to contact us for support.
Information collected automatically
- Outdoor session data: start time, duration, and a basic motion/light signal used to verify you completed a 5-minute outdoor session with real sunlight and movement.
- App blocking configuration: which apps and time windows you have chosen to manage as part of your morning routine (stored locally on your device).
- Streak and usage history: counts of completed outdoor sessions, stored to show your progress and habit streak.
Information we do NOT collect
- We do not collect the content of the apps you block.
- We do not track your browsing, messages, or social media activity.
- We do not sell or rent your personal information.
2. How We Use Information
- To verify and time your outdoor sessions so the app can unlock your chosen apps after your sunlight and movement break.
- To show your streak and morning routine history.
- To improve the app's reliability and outdoor detection accuracy (using aggregated, anonymized metrics).
- To respond to your support requests.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Your app blocking configuration, outdoor session history and streak data are stored locally on your device by default.
