Unplug · version of Nov 9, 2026

Privacy

In short: Unplug measures time spent, never what you read, write or watch.

What Unplug collects

• Your account: your email address, your first name (optional), your time zone.
• Usage time per app or website: on iPhone, through Apple’s Screen Time (minutes, opens and notifications per app, for all apps, which also gives your total screen time); on Mac, the app in the foreground and the domain of the website in the active tab, with the duration, for all apps and websites (not only the ones that cost points: this is how time without tracking is detected), and on YouTube the identifier of the video.
• Status signals from your devices: whether the app is running, whether Screen Time permission is active, whether grayscale is on. This is what makes anti-cheat work.
• Your usual hours (optional): the hours you set to frame the day rhythm chart. The list of tracked apps is the same for everyone and set by Unplug: you don't send any.
• Browser extension (optional): on YouTube only, the type of page (video, Shorts, feed…), whether the video is playing or paused, whether the tab makes sound, and the title, channel and category of the video, so that background listening (music, podcast) is weighted fairly. Nothing on any other website.
• Subscription: your plan and its status. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach Unplug.

What Unplug never collects

• The content of your messages, web pages or files, and what happens inside videos (only the YouTube title, channel and category, with the extension).
• What you type, screenshots of your screen, your location.

Why

Only to calculate your unplugging score, show it on your devices and on the web, and detect cheating. Your data is never sold or used for advertising.

Sharing

Nothing is public by default. A share link only shows what you choose, and you can turn it off at any time from Sharing.

When you share your score (on X, LinkedIn, Facebook or elsewhere), Unplug saves a snapshot of it: the score, its level, the day and time, whether the day was incomplete, and your first name if you set one. It creates an image from it. Anyone with the link can see this snapshot and its image, and social networks may keep a copy of the image. No app or website names are included. Deleting your account deletes your snapshots and their images.

Hosting

Data is stored with Supabase Inc. (region: London, United Kingdom, eu-west-2). The website is served by Netlify, Inc. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Emails (trial reminders, receipts) are sent through Resend.

Retention and deletion

Your data is kept as long as your account exists. While tracking is paused (trial over, no subscription), nothing new is recorded. You can delete your account and all your data at any time from the My account page: it is immediate and permanent.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data. Contact: [to be completed]
