PlayFund Privacy Policy

PlayFund PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: July 15, 2026

1. Introduction

PlayFund ("we", "our", or "the App") is a screen time balance tracker for families. We respect your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information.

2. Information We Collect

PlayFund is designed to be offline-first and privacy-focused. The App itself does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers.

All data you enter — including child profiles, activity logs, screen time transactions, badges, and settings — is stored locally on your device using encrypted local storage (Hive). This data never leaves your device.

The App does not require an account, email address, login, or any personal information to use.

3. Advertising

PlayFund uses Google AdMob to display advertisements in the free version of the App. Google AdMob may collect certain information automatically, including device identifiers, advertising ID, IP address, and general usage data. This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

You may remove all advertisements by purchasing the one-time in-app upgrade ($3.99). Once purchased, no advertising data is collected.

3a. Ad Personalization Consent

In regions where privacy regulations require it (such as the European Union under GDPR), PlayFund presents a consent dialog on first launch allowing you to choose whether advertisements are personalized. You can change this preference at any time from Settings → Ad Privacy Settings within the App. If you decline personalized ads, non-personalized ads will be served instead.

4. In-App Purchases

In-app purchases are processed through Google Play. PlayFund does not collect, store, or have access to any payment information. All billing is handled by Google.

5. Children's Privacy

PlayFund is designed for family use where a parent or guardian manages the App on behalf of their children. The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

All child-related data (names, emoji avatars, screen time balances, activity logs) is stored locally on the parent's device and is not transmitted to any server. No child data is shared with third parties.

Parents maintain full control over all data and can delete any child profile and its associated data at any time from within the App. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all data.

6. PIN Security

The optional parent PIN is stored locally on your device using SHA-256 cryptographic hashing. The actual PIN digits are never stored in plain text and are never transmitted anywhere.

7. Notifications

PlayFund may send local notifications for screen time session warnings and daily reminders. These notifications are generated entirely on your device and do not involve any external server communication.

8. Data Storage and Deletion

All App data is stored locally on your device. There is no cloud backup, no account system, and no server-side storage.

To delete all data, uninstall the App. This permanently and irreversibly deletes all profiles, transactions, badges, and settings.

9. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services that may collect data independently:
