What Antropy collects, why, and the choices you have.
01
Antropy (com.antropy.app) is a screen-time and focus app for Android, built and run by Vraj Gajjar and Sahil Makadia ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and the choices you have. If you have a question, write to sahilsensei.work@gmail.com.
02
Signing in is optional. If you skip it, your screen time, focus sessions and settings stay on your phone and none of them are sent to our servers. Only the anonymous usage and crash reports described in section 3 are sent, unless you turn them off.
03
When you sign in, we collect and store:
Account details from Google: your name, email address, profile picture link and Google account ID. We never see your Google password.
App usage statistics: for each app, how long it was on screen each day, how many times it was opened, and an hour-by-hour breakdown for the current day.
Installed apps: the name, package name and version of the apps on your phone, whether you excluded each one from tracking, and when it was last seen or uninstalled. This lets us label your usage and honour your exclusions.
Focus sessions: the preset you chose, the number of cycles, start and end times, time focused, pauses, and whether a session was completed or stopped.
Preferences: your daily screen-time limit, daily focus goal, and when your phone last synced.
Usage and crash reports: (whether you're signed in or not, unless you turn them off): which screens of Antropy you open and the features you use, taps within the app, anonymised screen recordings in which all text and images are hidden, crash and error reports, and basic device details (model, Android version, app version, language, time zone). When you're signed in these are linked to an internal account number, never to your name or email. They never include which other apps you use or how long you use them.
We do not collect what you do inside other apps — no messages, browsing history, keystrokes, screenshots or content. We only know how long an app was in use. App icons are shown from your phone and are never uploaded.
04
Usage access: lets the app read how long each app was used. Android asks you to turn this on in Settings yourself, and you can turn it off at any time.
See installed apps: lets the app list the apps on your phone so your usage shows real names and icons, and so you can exclude apps from tracking.
Internet: needed to sign in and to sync your data with our servers.
We don't ask for your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files, SMS or call logs.
05
To show your screen time, focus sessions, limits and goals.
To keep your history safe across reinstalls and phones.
To run focus sessions that keep time correctly even if the app is closed.
To keep the service working and secure, and to answer you when you contact us.
To find and fix crashes, and to understand which features are used so we can improve them.
We don't use your information for advertising, we don't build marketing profiles, and we don't sell or rent it to anyone.
06
We share information only with services we need to run Antropy, and only for that purpose:
Google: to sign you in. Google's own privacy policy applies to your Google account.
Cloud hosting providers: that run our servers and database and store the data described above on our behalf.
PostHog: which processes the anonymous usage reports and screen recordings for us.
Sentry: which processes crash and error reports for us.
These providers may only use the information to provide their service to us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it. We don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
07
Data is sent between the app and our servers over encrypted connections. Your sign-in token is kept in Android's encrypted storage on your phone, and every request is checked against your account so no one else can read your data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and fix problems quickly.
08
To load quickly and work offline, the app keeps a copy of your recent usage, settings and app icons in its private storage on your phone. Other apps can't read it. It is removed when you delete your account or uninstall Antropy.
09
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, it is erased from our database straight away. Copies in our hosting provider's backups are overwritten within a short, limited period.
10
Delete your account: Settings → tap your profile → Delete account. This permanently erases your account, usage history, focus sessions, excluded apps and preferences from our servers and your phone.
Delete without the app: if you no longer have the app, email sahilsensei.work@gmail.com from your account's address and we'll delete everything.
Exclude apps: Settings → Excluded apps stops counting the apps you pick.
Turn off usage and crash reports: use the switch at the top of the Privacy Policy screen in the app. It applies straight away, signed in or not.
Stop usage tracking: turn off Usage Access for Antropy in your phone's Settings at any time.
Access or correct your data: email us and we'll help.
11
Antropy is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
12
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
