How ScreenWise handles your data

Built on Trust

ScreenWise is designed to support open family conversations — not secret surveillance. Here's exactly what we track, what we don't, and how we keep your family's data private.

Our Privacy Principles

On-Device First

Usage analysis and pattern detection happen locally on your device. No raw browsing data or message content is ever uploaded to our servers.

Minimal Data Storage

We only store the numbers you manually log — time per platform, dates, and goal results. No personal content leaves your device.

Full Transparency

Kids can see exactly the same usage stats as parents. Nothing is hidden. Open conversations about screen time build trust.

Cooperative, Not Punitive

This app is designed to be used together — parents and kids setting goals as a team, not a secret surveillance tool.
