Privacy Policy

I. General Provisions

1.Engage (this “App”) is a mobile application designed by Max Jenkins (“We”, “Us”, “Our”) to help you monitor and manage your screen time with the ability to compare your usage with friends.

2.This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and store your personal data when you interact with us, including using this App and reaching out to us directly. By registering and using this App you signify that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms set forth by this Policy.

3.We provide this App through Apple’s App Store “as is”. Be sure you are familiar with Apple’s Privacy Policy, which you can access at apple.com/privacy.

4.Even though this App tracks the time you spend in third-party applications, we are not associated with those applications unless specifically stated in this Policy. We do not share what we know about you with them in any way.

5.This App may contain links to other websites or services not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review their privacy policies. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for any third-party sites or services.

6.We do not address anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided Us with personal data, please contact Us at joinengage@gmail.com. If We become aware that We have collected personal data from anyone under 16 without verification of parental consent, We will take steps to remove that information from our servers promptly.

7.We store your personal data for as long as you are using our services. If you become inactive, we will retain your data for a period of 2 years from the date of your last activity to allow you to return. After that period, we will delete all data that identifies you.

8.From time to time we may revise this Privacy Policy. When we do, you will receive a notification informing you of such changes. You have the right to refuse such changes by deleting your account.

9.We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data. We are constantly working to improve these safeguards and require all contractors and service providers to maintain an equivalent standard of protection.

II. What Is Personal Data

1.We treat data as “personal data” if it relates to an identified or identifiable individual. That means if the data allows us to identify you — such as your name, phone number, or date of birth — it is considered personal data.

2.For the purposes of this Policy, aggregated and depersonalised data is considered non-personal data.

III. Why We Process Personal Data

1.We only process your personal data when we have a valid legal reason to do so. We may rely on your consent, the necessity to fulfil a contract with you, or compliance with applicable law.

We use your personal data to:

a.Communicate with you. From time to time we may reach out to you about your account and send important notifications, including updates to this Policy.

b.Power our App. We process your data to operate the App’s features — primarily displaying your screen time statistics and, where you have chosen to connect with friends, sharing your daily total and streak with your approved connections.

c.Help us improve. We may process your data when you submit feedback or encounter a problem. We are also alerted automatically if your screen time looks implausible, so we can find and fix technical errors in your records. We may also aggregate depersonalised data from multiple users to understand how the App is used.

d.Comply with the law. To comply with applicable law, including tax or reporting obligations, or to comply with a lawful governmental request.

IV. What Data Do We Process

When you register and use this App, we collect and process the following information:

a.Account information. Your name, username, profile picture, phone number, account status, and date of registration. For technical reasons we also create a unique ID for your account.

b.Screen time usage data. How long you spend each day in the apps you link to Engage (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, X and YouTube), both in total and for each app, and the times you first and last used them that day. We store this on our servers so your results, streak and leaderboard work over time. Your approved connections can see your daily total and streak. Your per-app times are only shown to you.

c.Contact information. If you allow us to, we use hashed (encoded) versions of your contacts’ phone numbers to find which of your contacts already use Engage. We store these hashes with your account so your approved connections can see how many of their friends know someone; no one else can read them. We do not store your contacts’ names or phone numbers.

d.Date of birth. We collect your date of birth to verify you meet our minimum age requirement of 16 years. This data is used solely for age verification and is not shared with other users.

e.Device information. Data from which your device could be identified, such as device type and operating system version, plus your Engage version, time zone and settings that affect syncing (such as Low Power Mode and Background App Refresh).

f.Notification preferences. We may send you push notifications about your screen time results and friend activity. You can opt out at any time directly from the App or through your device settings.

g.Communications with us. Details such as the content of your interactions with customer support.

2.We do not collect or process any sensitive personal information beyond what is described above.

V. Information Collected Automatically

1.We automatically collect certain technical information when you use the App, such as your device type, operating system, and usage patterns. This information does not reveal your specific identity and is used to maintain the security and operation of the App.

2.This information is not regarded as personal data because it does not allow us to identify you individually.

VI. When Can We Disclose Your Personal Data

1.We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer any information collected, whether automatically or through your voluntary action.

2.We may disclose your personal information to our service providers — including Google Firebase — for the sole purpose of providing our services to you. All such providers are contractually obligated to protect your data to a standard no less strict than this Policy.

VII. Your Privacy Rights

1.Depending on where you are located, you may have specific legal rights regarding your personal data.

If you are located in Australia, under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) you have the right to:

a.Access the personal information we hold about you.

b.Request correction of inaccurate, out-of-date, or incomplete personal information.

c.Make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au if you believe we have mishandled your personal information.

c.Erasure of your personal data (“the right to be forgotten”).

VIII. Data Security

1.We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes industry-standard encryption and secure cloud infrastructure provided by Google Firebase.

2.While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but will notify you in accordance with applicable law if a breach occurs that affects your personal data.
