Beat: Privacy Policy
Beat is a small iPhone app that puts a short pause in front of apps you choose to guard. It is built to work without collecting anything about you.
What Beat collects
Nothing. Beat has no account, no sign-in, no server and no analytics. It contains no advertising or third-party tracking code. The developer never receives any data from the app.
What stays on your iPhone
The apps you guard, your pause settings, strict windows, theme, and the count of pauses are stored locally on your device in the app's own storage. Deleting Beat deletes this data. It is not uploaded or synced anywhere.
Contacts
If you choose to be offered a phone call instead of opening a guarded app, Beat asks for access to your contacts so you can pick one person. Only the name and number you pick are kept, on your device. Beat does not read, upload or share the rest of your contacts.
Other apps
Beat can ask iOS whether a few well-known apps (for example Instagram or Kindle) are installed so that it can offer them in lists, and it opens an app when you tell it to. It does not see what you do inside those apps. The Shortcuts automation that launches Beat is created by you in Apple's Shortcuts app.
Children
Beat does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
