1. Scope
This policy applies to the Admit It iOS app and the public launch website. If you use Admit It, this page describes how the app handles permissions, local storage, and data leaving the device.
2. Data stored on your device
Admit It is designed to be local-first. The app stores data such as:
- selected apps, categories, and websites to protect
- rules, schedules, unlock presets, and notification preferences
- local session history, intervention attempts, and summary data
- pending challenge state needed to continue an unlock flow
This information is stored on the device, including in the app’s shared container where needed so the app extensions can work correctly.
3. Permissions the app may request
- Screen Time / Family Controls: required so Admit It can protect selected apps, websites, and categories using Apple’s system frameworks.
- Notifications: used to help you continue an intentional unlock flow and receive reminders or recap notifications if you enable them.
- Camera: used only if you choose the optional selfie-video challenge.
- Microphone: used only if you choose the optional selfie-video challenge.
- Speech Recognition: used only to verify the spoken phrase in the optional challenge flow.
4. Family Controls and Screen Time behavior
The current app experience is built around protecting apps and sites on the device where the user enables Admit It. The app does not require an online account or a developer-run backend to enforce protections.
If Admit It is used in a household or guardian-managed context, a parent or guardian should review the permissions and setup choices before enabling it for a minor or dependent.
5. When data may leave the device
Admit It does not require an account and does not send your routine app data to a developer-operated backend. However, some Apple-provided services may process data when you use specific features.
If you use speech recognition, recorded audio or extracted audio from the optional selfie-video challenge may be processed by Apple’s speech recognition services depending on device, language, and Apple platform behavior. Apple’s handling of that data is governed by Apple’s own policies.
If you explicitly export your Admit It data, the exported file leaves the app only when you choose to share or save it.
6. Temporary media and transcript handling
If you use the optional selfie-video challenge, Admit It temporarily works with the recorded clip so it can verify the spoken phrase. Temporary media files are removed after processing, and the app is not designed to maintain a permanent library of challenge clips.
Transcripts used to check whether a spoken phrase matches are used for verification in the app flow. Admit It is not designed as a cloud transcription service and does not require account creation for this feature.
7. Analytics, advertising, and tracking
Admit It is not built around third-party advertising or account-based analytics, and the current codebase does not include third-party ad SDKs or sign-in flows. If that changes in a future release, this policy should be updated before or alongside that release.
8. Retention, export, and deletion
Local data remains on your device until you delete it, remove the app, or reset Admit It from inside the app. The app includes controls to:
- generate an export of local app data
- restart onboarding
- delete local data from the device
9. Children and household use
Admit It is a general-audience productivity app, not a kids entertainment app. If it is used in a household or family context, a parent or guardian should review permissions and privacy details before enabling it for a child or dependent.

11. Changes to this policy
If Admit It’s data handling changes, this page should be updated and republished with a new effective date before or alongside that release.
