Overview
Enforcer is a screen-time enforcement app. It monitors how long you use the apps you choose to watch, and blocks them locally when you exceed your set limit. No account is required, no analytics are collected, and no data ever leaves your device.
Data We Collect
Enforcer does not collect any of the following:
- Personal information (name, email, phone number)
- Location data
- Device identifiers
- Usage statistics sent to a remote server
- Crash reports or analytics
The only data Enforcer stores is your list of selected (toggled) apps, saved
locally in your device's app storage using Android's
SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.
Permissions Explained
Enforcer requests the following Android permissions. Each one is used solely to provide the app's core functionality on-device.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| Usage Access | Reads which app is in the foreground and for how long, so Enforcer knows when to trigger a block. This data is processed locally and never stored or transmitted. |
| Draw Over Other Apps | Displays the full-screen blocking overlay on top of other apps when your time limit is reached. |
| Ignore Battery Optimization | Keeps the background monitor running when your screen is off so tracking is not silently interrupted by Android's battery management. |
| Schedule Exact Alarms | Schedules a precise keepalive timer so the monitor restarts reliably after your device sleeps or reboots. |
| Post Notifications | Sends a local notification when your break ends and blocked apps become available again. No notifications are sent to any external service. |
| Foreground Service | Runs the usage monitor as an Android foreground service so it stays active while you are using your phone. |
| Query All Packages | Reads the list of installed apps on your device so you can choose which ones to watch. This list is only used within the app and is never shared. |
Third-Party Services
Enforcer does not integrate any third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, advertising networks, or crash-reporting services. No data is shared with any third party.
Data Storage & Security
The only data Enforcer persists is your list of selected apps, stored in Android's private app storage. This file is only accessible to Enforcer itself and is deleted if you uninstall the app.
Children's Privacy
Enforcer does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because no data is collected at all, the app is safe for use by children as a parental-control or self-control tool.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
