Privacy Policy for ActionLock
Last Updated: July 19, 2026
Welcome to ActionLock! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application ("ActionLock", "we", "us", or "our").
By using ActionLock, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
To provide our core service—locking digital distractions and trading physical reps for screen time—we collect and process the following types of information:
- Account Information: If you choose to log in using third-party services (Apple or Google), we receive your basic profile information, such as your name and email address, to create and secure your account.
- Camera and Motion Data (Crucial): ActionLock requires access to your device's camera to count your push-ups, squats, and other exercises. We process this visual data entirely on-device using machine learning (MLKit). We do not record, save, or transmit your video feed or photos to our servers.
- App Usage and Analytics Data: To understand how users interact with ActionLock and to improve the experience, we collect anonymous usage data (e.g., screens visited, buttons clicked, crash reports) using our analytics provider, PostHog.
- Subscription and Payment Data: If you upgrade to ActionLock PRO, your payments are processed securely via Apple or Google. We use a third-party service (RevenueCat) to manage your subscription status. We do not collect or store your direct credit card information.
2. Device Permissions Required
To function properly, ActionLock will ask for the following device permissions:
- Camera: Exclusively used in real-time to detect your exercises and unlock your apps.
- Screen Time / Accessibility (Depending on OS): Required to detect when you attempt to open a restricted app and to deploy the ActionLock overlay.
- Notifications: We use local notifications to remind you of your goals, alert you when your screen time is up, and help you maintain your daily streaks.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide, operate, and maintain the ActionLock app.
- To process your exercises locally on your device and manage your unlocked screen time.
- To manage your account and PRO subscriptions.
- To analyze app usage and continuously improve our features.
- To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages.
4. Third-Party Services We Use
We employ trusted third-party services that may collect information used to identify you or process your data securely. These include:
- Apple Authentication & Google Sign-In: For secure account creation and login.
- PostHog: For product analytics and tracking app performance.
- RevenueCat: For managing in-app purchases and subscriptions.
These third-party providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use your data.
5. Data Storage and Security
The security of your data is important to us. ActionLock heavily relies on local, on-device storage (using technologies like MMKV and Realm) to save your exercise history, unlocked sessions, and app preferences. This means your personal focus data stays primarily on your own device.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any data we do transmit (like your account details and subscription status), remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request that we delete your account and associated data.
- Opt-out of analytics tracking (which you can manage in the app settings, if applicable).
- Manage or revoke device permissions (Camera, Notifications) directly from your phone's OS settings, though this will limit the app's functionality.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
