Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 24, 2026  ·  Last updated: September 30, 2026

OpenAd is built to help you use your phone more intentionally, so privacy is central to how it works. The app has no account and no server of ours — your Screen Time and app-selection data stay on your device. The app shows rewarded ads through third-party advertising partners, which collect limited device data to serve them (details below).

This Privacy Policy explains what information the OpenAd app (the "App", "we", "us") handles and the choices you have. The App is operated by Seven Agent Studios LLC ("the developer"). By using the App you agree to this Policy and to our Terms of Service.

1. Summary

2. Information we handle

a. Screen Time & app-selection data (on-device only)

The App uses Apple's Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks. The apps, categories, and websites you choose to gate — and the on-device activity that triggers a shield — are represented by opaque tokens Apple keeps on your device. This is stored only in a private, on-device App Group container. It is never sent to our servers (we have none) and is never shared with advertisers or any third party, consistent with Apple's App Store Review Guideline 5.1.2.

b. Dashboard counters and app events

The App stores its dashboard counters locally, including ads watched and times you chose to stay blocked. It also sends product analytics events about OpenAd's own features, such as starting or completing an unlock, the selected unlock duration, and the number of rewarded ads completed. These events do not contain the identities or selection tokens of the apps or websites you gate. See section 2(d) for analytics details.

c. Advertising data

Rewarded ads are delivered by third-party advertising partners. OpenAd currently uses Unity LevelPlay to request rewarded ads from Unity Ads and ironSource Exchange in the updated app. Earlier versions may use Liftoff Monetize (Vungle) or Google AdMob. The advertising provider depends on the version installed. To serve and measure ads, an ad partner's SDK may collect limited information such as device app-generated and device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad impressions and interactions, device and connection information, and SDK performance data. Unity also reports advertising-related purchase and conversion information in its data disclosures. Data may be associated with an identifier rather than your name, as described in the provider's privacy policy. We never provide ad partners with your Screen Time or app-selection data.

By default, the Unity LevelPlay version requests restricted advertising processing, and it never treats Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission as consent to personalized advertising. You can change tracking permission in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Ad partners may still process data to deliver ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud. Ads also use Apple's SKAdNetwork attribution.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. OpenAd's Settings screen has a switch with this name. It is on by default for everyone, wherever you live. While it is on, OpenAd sends Unity LevelPlay and Unity Ads an opt-out signal before any ad is requested, telling them not to sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you turn it off, OpenAd tells those partners that you allow it, and they may use the advertising data described above to show you more personalized ads, as described in their privacy policies. You can turn it back on at any time, and a change applies to ads requested after it. OpenAd never sends those partners consent to personalized advertising under the GDPR, whatever this switch says. The switch doesn't change Apple's tracking permission, and OpenAd works the same either way.

d. Diagnostics & analytics

To understand how the App is used and to fix bugs, OpenAd uses PostHog product analytics. PostHog records in-app events — such as app opens, screens viewed, and actions you take (for example, watching an ad or enabling reminders) — together with a persistent app-generated identifier and basic device and app information (such as device model, OS version, and app version). PostHog also works out an approximate location (city and country) from your IP address. If you choose to answer "How did you hear about OpenAd?", that answer is recorded too; the question is optional and shown once. To test changes to OpenAd's block screen, PostHog may assign your installation to a version of it and record which one, along with counts of how often you tapped its buttons. Events can be associated with the same installation; we do not provide PostHog with your name or account login. This analytics data is not used to track you across other apps or websites and never includes your selected app or website identities, Family Controls tokens, or activity reports from Apple's Screen Time APIs. Session recording and automatic element interaction capture are disabled. We use it only to improve the App. PostHog processes this data on our behalf; see posthog.com/privacy.

e. Support requests

If you email us or send feedback, we receive the contact details and message you choose to send so we can respond. Please do not include sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.

3. Third parties

We may add or replace advertising, analytics, or infrastructure providers as the App evolves; this list and Policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Data retention & deletion

Deleting the App removes its local data. Advertising and analytics data already processed by third-party providers is subject to their retention policies; deleting the App does not automatically delete those records. For questions or deletion requests, contact us at the address below or use the provider's privacy controls.

5. Children's privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

6. Future features & accounts

OpenAd may evolve over time. We may, in the future, introduce optional features such as accounts or syncing your stats across devices, additional advertising or analytics partners, or other capabilities. If and when we do, we will update this Policy to describe how any new data is handled before those features collect it.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. the EEA/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights regarding personal data, including access, correction, deletion, and objection to certain processing. If you live in California or another US state with a similar law, you also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right not to be treated differently for using your privacy rights. OpenAd's opt-out is on by default: see "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" in section 2(c). For questions or requests relating to OpenAd or its service providers, contact us below.

8. Changes to this Policy and our Terms

We may update this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service at any time, including as the App's features, advertising partners, or capabilities change. When we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy and Terms.
