The Daily Scroll Times

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Daily Scroll (“the App”) is a personal focus app for iPhone. It keeps the social apps you choose closed all day except for one shared hour. This policy explains what information the App uses and how it is handled.

Short version: everything stays on your iPhone. There is no Daily Scroll account, no analytics, and no Daily Scroll server. We do not collect, sell, or share your personal information.

Information the App uses

Screen Time selections. With your permission through Apple’s Screen Time / Family Controls APIs, the App stores the apps, categories, and websites you choose to block. Apple provides these as opaque tokens: the App cannot see which apps they are, and it cannot see how you use them. The tokens stay on your device, in an App Group shared with the App’s own system extensions.
Settings. Whether a pause is running, when your streak started, and whether reminders are on. These are stored locally using Apple’s UserDefaults / App Group storage.
Notifications. If you allow notifications, the App schedules local reminders around the daily hour. These are delivered by iOS on your device and never pass through a server.

What we do not collect

The App has no sign-in and no account. It does not upload your Screen Time selections, usage, settings, or anything else to a Daily Scroll server, because there is none. We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs, we do not sell personal information, and we do not share device or usage data with anyone.

How information is stored and shared

On your device. All App data lives on your iPhone and in the App Group used by the App’s extensions.
Apple. The App relies on Apple platform services: Screen Time / Managed Settings and local notifications. Apple’s handling of that information is governed by Apple’s own policies.

Permissions you control

You can revoke Screen Time / Family Controls and Notification permissions in iOS Settings at any time. Doing so disables blocking or reminders. You can change what is blocked inside the App, and deleting the App removes all locally stored Daily Scroll data from your device.

Children

Daily Scroll is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
