Screens-Off Journal privacy policy

Publisher: AlphaPlay LLC. Last updated November 14, 2026.

Everything stays on your device

Everything you enter stays on the phone, tablet or computer you entered it on. The app has no account, no server, no ads and no trackers. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

What the app stores

  • Your child's nickname

  • The day screens went off

  • An optional evaluation date

  • Your daily entries: minutes, counts, the five observations and your notes

  • Any questions you write down for your child's doctor

  • The date you confirmed you are 18 or older and the child's parent or guardian

  • Your language choice

All of it is kept in the app's own storage on your device.

What leaves your device

Only what you choose to share. "Download CSV" and "Save as PDF" create a file and hand it to the app you pick, such as Mail, Files, AirDrop or a printer. We never see that file.

Deleting your data

"Delete all data" on the Report or Privacy tab erases everything the app stores. Uninstalling the app also erases it. There is nothing to delete on our side, because we hold nothing. In the phone app, the journal is left out of phone backups; download a CSV now and then to keep your own copy.

Accounts

This app has no accounts, so there is no account to create or delete. To remove everything the app stores, open the app and use "Delete all data".

Children

This app is for parents and caregivers. It is not directed to children and collects no personal information from anyone. Before the first entry, the person setting it up confirms they are 18 or older and the child's parent or guardian.

Health information and state laws

Some states have extra rules for health-related information, such as Washington's My Health My Data Act. Your entries can include notes about your child's health or development. They stay on your device: AlphaPlay LLC does not collect, receive, share or sell them, and has no way to see them.

Crash reports and analytics

The app sends no crash reports and no usage data. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first.
