This Privacy Policy explains how the Unscroll Android app ("Unscroll," "we," "our," or "us") processes information when you use the app. This policy is intended to match the app's current Android codebase and third-party integrations as of the date above.
This policy applies to users of the Unscroll Android app distributed through Google Play or other lawful Android distribution channels for the same app package.
Unscroll is a focus and screen-time management app. It can:
The following information is processed or stored locally on your device by the app:
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility-derived app activity | Window state, view IDs, class names, content descriptions, button labels, and screen titles from supported apps | To detect short-form video screens and trigger navigation away from them |
| App settings | Enabled apps, pause timers, daily limits, notification preferences, theme choices, onboarding flags, privacy settings | To make the app work and preserve your preferences |
| Local usage and blocking statistics | Block counts, most-blocked app, daily usage time, timestamps, premium unlock state | To show progress, enforce limits, and support premium features |
| Installed app list for full-app blocking | Launchable package names, app names, and icons available on the device | To let you choose which apps to block |
| Local protection credentials | Password/PIN hashes and related lock settings | To gate changes inside the app |
| Local purchase state | Premium flags, active plan type, and purchase token cached on-device | To restore premium access locally |
We do not operate our own custom backend for user accounts, profiles, or cloud sync based on the current app codebase reviewed on March 28, 2026.
Unscroll uses Android Accessibility Service only for the app's core blocking functionality. The service
reads UI structure and labels from supported apps to identify short-form video screens and then performs
actions such as BACK or navigation to a safer surface.
Even though much of Unscroll works locally, some information is collected or received by third-party service providers that are part of the app:
| Provider | Purpose | Examples of data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Mobile Ads / AdMob | Ads for non-premium users | Advertising ID, device/app information, IP-based approximate location, consent signals, and ad interaction data, as determined by Google's ad SDKs and platform services |
| Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) | Consent collection and consent status management | Consent choices and region-based consent flow information |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging | Push notification delivery | FCM registration token, topic subscription, message delivery metadata, and notification content sent through Firebase |
| Firebase Remote Config | Remote feature/config control | App instance/config requests and returned configuration values |
| Firebase Analytics | Optional analytics if you opt in | App events, screen views, premium/ad events, and user properties configured by the app |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Optional crash diagnostics in release builds if you opt in | Crash reports, device/app version details, and related diagnostics |
| Google Play Billing | Premium purchase processing and restoration | Purchase state, product IDs, purchase tokens, subscription status, and payment-related records handled by Google Play |
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, depending on your jurisdiction, sharing data with advertising and measurement providers may be treated as "sharing," "sale," or targeted advertising under local law.
The app can send local notifications and can also receive push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging. Based on the code reviewed on March 28, 2026, the app requests or refreshes an FCM token on app startup and subscribes the device to a general topic used for app-wide notifications.
Unscroll does not directly request Android runtime permissions for contacts, camera, microphone, or precise location in the current codebase. It also does not include a built-in user account registration or sign-in system.
Unscroll does not intentionally collect your name, email address, postal address, or phone number through the app itself unless you choose to contact us directly.
Depending on your region, we may rely on one or more of the following grounds:
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, object to, or limit certain processing, and rights to opt out of targeted advertising or certain sharing practices. You can take the following actions:
You have the right to request rectification or correction of inaccurate personal data that we control. If information in our local app records is inaccurate, you may ask us to help correct it or you may correct it yourself by updating your settings, clearing local app data, or contacting us. If the data is maintained by Google services such as AdMob, Firebase, or Google Play, we may direct you to the relevant Google controls in addition to handling your request with us.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may give you the following rights, subject to applicable exceptions:
You have the right to know whether your personal data is sold or shared. We do not sell personal data for money. However, our use of advertising and measurement providers such as Google AdMob may be treated as "sharing" or, in some jurisdictions, a "sale" of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising purposes. You may ask us:
You also have the right to know whether your personal data is shared, which categories of personal data are shared, which categories of third parties receive it, and the business or commercial purpose for that sharing.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal data where applicable. For this app, that request also covers ad-related sharing that may be treated as a sale under some privacy laws.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal data and, where applicable, the use of your personal data for targeted advertising. You can exercise that opt-out by using one or more of these methods:
If local law gives you rights such as access, deletion, correction, portability, objection, or opt-out rights, contact us using the details below. We will review the request under the law that applies to you. For data processed by Google services, your request may need to be completed partly through Google tools because we do not control those service records directly.
If you are a Virginia resident, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) may give you rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of personal data, as well as rights to opt-out of the processing of personal data for targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling. To exercise VCDPA rights, contact us using the privacy contact details below and state that your request is a VCDPA Request.
If you are in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) may give you rights to request confirmation of processing, access to personal data, correction or rectification of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data, anonymization, blocking or deletion where appropriate, portability, information about public and private entities with which data has been shared, information about the possibility of denying consent and its consequences, and withdrawal of consent where consent is the lawful basis. To exercise LGPD rights, contact us and include LGPD Request in the subject line.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, regulator, attorney general, or other data protection authority in the region where you live if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. You may also contact us first and we will try to resolve your concern directly.
Because Unscroll uses Google services such as AdMob, Firebase, and Google Play Billing, data may be processed outside your country, including in countries that may not provide the same level of legal protection as your home jurisdiction. We rely on the safeguards, contractual commitments, and regional compliance mechanisms offered by those service providers where applicable.
Unscroll is not intended for children under 13, and we do not intend to operate the app as a child-directed service. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app in a way that creates a privacy concern, contact us and uninstall the app from the device.
If you plan to distribute or configure Unscroll as a children-directed or mixed-audience app, the app and its disclosures should be re-reviewed because the current integrations and flows may require additional changes.
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we control, but no app or networked service can guarantee absolute security. Your device security settings and Google account controls are also important parts of protecting your information.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
