Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how ImpulseLock handles information when you use our mobile application. It is designed to provide transparency and comply with common privacy requirements, which include disclosing the data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide

• Items you save: When you add a product to ImpulseLock, we store the URL, any notes you enter (such as why you want it or what you’ll give up) and your chosen delay period. This data is stored locally on your device and not transmitted to our servers.

• Optional details: You may optionally enter target prices or categories for items. These details are also stored locally.

1.2 Automatic information

• Device data: The App may collect basic, non‑personal device information (such as device model and iOS version) solely to ensure compatibility and performance. This information is not linked to you personally.

• Push notifications: To send countdown and reminder notifications, the App uses Apple’s local notification framework. Notification schedules are stored on your device; no notification data is transmitted to us.

1.3 Information we do not collect

ImpulseLock does not collect or store:

• Personal identifiers such as your name, email address or phone number.

• Payment information or financial account details.

• Precise location data.

• Usage analytics or tracking data.

• Any data stored in other apps or websites you visit.

2. Purpose of Data Handling

We use the information described above solely to provide the App’s core functionality: saving items, enforcing cooldowns, sending reminders and displaying summaries of your decisions. We do not use your data for advertising or analytics, and we do not share or sell your data to third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

All data you enter into ImpulseLock is stored locally on your device using iOS’s secure storage mechanisms. We do not operate any external servers or cloud databases. Because your data stays on the device, you retain full control over it. If you uninstall the App, any locally stored information will be deleted.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Since we do not collect personal data or use a backend, there is no routine data sharing. We may disclose information if required by law (e.g., in response to a court order). We may also share anonymised, aggregated insights (e.g., total money saved by all users) in the future. Such insights would be generated on‑device and would not identify individual users.

5. Your Rights and Choices

• Control of your data: Because all data is stored locally, you can delete any item or all data at any time by removing it from the App or uninstalling the App.

• Notification settings: You can adjust or disable reminders through your device’s notification settings.

• Access and correction: You can view and edit your saved items within the App at any time.

6. Children’s Privacy

ImpulseLock is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data to us, please contact us, and we will delete such information.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. We will post any updates in the App and revise the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Disclaimer: The above Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. Requirements may vary depending on your jurisdiction and business model; consult qualified legal counsel for guidance.

We use technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data, including encryption, secure servers, and limited access protocols. While no system is 100% secure, we continuously work to protect your data.

Please read these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) carefully before using the ImpulseLock mobile application (the “App”). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and the ImpulseLock team (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Description of the Service

ImpulseLock provides a self‑help tool that encourages mindful purchasing by introducing a delay between the moment you save a potential purchase and the moment you decide whether to buy it. The App allows you to capture a product URL (via manual entry or share‑sheet extension), record reasons for wanting the item, set a waiting period, and view a countdown. Once the delay expires, you may decide to purchase, skip, or defer the item. The App stores all data locally on your device; there is no external cloud storage or server processing.

2. Eligibility and Use

1. Legal age. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the capacity to enter into a binding contract.

2. Personal use. The App is for your personal, non‑commercial use only. You may not use the App for any illegal purpose or in violation of any laws or regulations.

3. Accuracy of information. You are responsible for ensuring that any information you enter into the App (e.g., URLs, prices, notes) is accurate. We are not responsible for any consequences that may result from incorrect or incomplete information.

3. License and Intellectual Property

In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the amount you have paid to us (if any) for using the App in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

9. Modifications to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms within the App and update the “Last updated” date at the top. By continuing to use the App after the revised Terms become effective, you accept the updated Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (USA), without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia.
