Privacy Policy for Zen Mode

Last updated: 30 July 2026

Zen Mode ("the app") is a focus and digital-wellbeing app that locks your phone for a duration you choose, while still allowing incoming phone calls. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.

Zen Mode does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The app has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no network communication of any kind. Everything the app does happens entirely on your device.

Information we collect

None. Zen Mode does not gather any personal or usage information, and it does not send anything off your device. The app does not request internet access.

Permissions the app uses, and why

Zen Mode requests certain permissions purely to provide its features on your device. None of these are used to collect or transmit data.

• Device administration (screen lock), used only to lock the screen when you leave an active Zen session. The app cannot erase your data, read your screen, or access your accounts. You can turn this off at any time in your phone's Settings, which ends the session.
• Phone state, used only to detect an incoming or ongoing call, so a session steps aside and lets you answer. Call information is never stored, logged, or transmitted. The app does not read your call history, contacts, or phone number.
• Display over other apps, used only to bring the Zen screen back after your phone restarts during a session. It is not used to draw over or monitor other apps.
• Notifications, used to show the ongoing session notification while a session runs, which the system requires to keep the timer and ambient sound active.
• Photos you choose, if you set one of your own photos as the session background, that image is copied into the app's private storage on your device so it can be shown after a restart. It stays on your device, is never uploaded, and is removed if you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Zen Mode only ever accesses the single photo you explicitly pick; it does not browse or read your photo library.
• Foreground service (audio playback), used to keep the session's ambient sound and timer running while the screen is off. The ambient sounds are generated by the app itself; no audio is recorded or captured from your device.

Data sharing

Zen Mode does not share any data with us or with any third party, because it does not collect any data in the first place. There are no third-party services, SDKs, trackers, or advertising networks in the app.

Data security

Any settings you choose (such as your selected sound or background) are stored only in the app's private storage on your own device. Nothing leaves your phone.

Children

Zen Mode does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children. The app is suitable for general audiences.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a new "last updated" date.
