The short version
Airlock has no account, ads, or third-party analytics. Apple may share optional usage statistics and crash information with us through its developer tools, as described below.
Data stored on your device
Airlock saves the information it needs on your iPhone:
- The apps and websites you choose to block. Airlock uses Apple’s Screen Time selections but does not receive your browsing history or the contents of other apps.
- Airtime earned and used, breathing history, daily flowers, and Morning Lock.
- Unlock sessions and your one-minute wrap-up allowance.
- Your Airlock settings.
- If you turn on PIN Protection, Airlock stores a secure PIN record used to verify it in the iOS Keychain—not the PIN itself.
Optional developer tips
Apple processes optional tips through the App Store. Airlock does not receive your payment card details. Airlock checks Apple’s purchase confirmation and remembers on your device that you tipped so it can show a thank-you. It may recover that acknowledgement from your App Store purchase history after a reinstall. Tips do not change access to any app feature or grant Airtime.
Apple permissions
Airlock asks for Screen Time permission so it can block the apps and websites you select. Apple lets Airlock use those selections without providing your browsing history or data from inside other apps.
Airlock may ask for notification permission to send reminders and bring you back to Airlock when you request access from a blocked app. These notifications are created on your iPhone. You can change permissions in iOS Settings.
Sensors, biometrics, and health data
Airlock guides breathing timing but does not watch or record you. It does not use the camera, microphone, or HealthKit. Airlock reads device tilt on your iPhone only to animate the flower; tilt is never used to verify breathing, stored, or sent anywhere. If Airlock asks for Face ID or Touch ID to confirm a change, iOS performs the check and tells Airlock only whether it succeeded.
Airlock is not a medical device, diagnosis tool, or treatment.
Optional Apple analytics and diagnostics
If you choose to share app analytics with developers in iOS, Apple may provide us with usage statistics and crash information that are aggregated or do not personally identify you. We use Apple's reports to understand overall app use and improve reliability. Examples include app sessions, active devices, retention, and crashes.
Airlock does not send custom feature-use events or upload your breathing history, Airtime, or Screen Time selections for these reports. There is no third-party analytics service or advertising tracking in Airlock.
You control Apple's sharing in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share With App Developers. Airlock cannot change that choice. All Airlock features remain available whether you share or not. Apple handles this information under its App Analytics & Privacy notice.
Sharing
Airlock does not upload your breathing and blocking records to us or third parties. Apple's optional reporting is separate from those local records. Airlock contains no ads or tools that track you across other companies' apps and websites.
Retention and deletion
Your Airlock data stays on your iPhone while the app is installed. Deleting Airlock removes the data stored with the app. If you turn on PIN Protection, its secure verification record may remain in the iOS Keychain after a reinstall. You can remove it using Airlock’s PIN reset before deleting the app. Deleting Airlock does not delete purchase records held by Apple.
We do not keep a copy of your local Airlock records, so we cannot view or delete them for you. Apple manages information collected through its services under its own privacy policies.
Changes
If Airlock’s data practices change, this policy will be updated before the change is released. The “last updated” date above shows the current version.
