Overview

Claruss is a screen time management app. We collect only what is necessary to provide the service. We do not sell, share, or monetize your personal data.

Information We Collect

Account information

Email address, display name, and hashed password. These are required to create and authenticate your account.

Phone number (optional)

If you opt in to SMS OTP delivery, we store your phone number to send one-time passcodes via Twilio. You can remove it at any time.

Rules and lock history

Your blocking rules, lock sessions, unlock events, and activity logs are stored on our servers to sync across sessions and provide the activity feed.

Device tokens

Apple Push Notification tokens are stored to deliver OTP requests and lock notifications to your device.

Information We Do Not Collect

Blocked app and website selections use Apple’s opaque FamilyControls tokens, which are device-specific and do not reveal app names or identifiers to our servers.
