Poru helps you take a brief, mindful pause before unlocking distracting
apps. This policy explains what information Poru does - and does not -
collect, and how it is used.
What we collect
- Your reflections. When you complete a
task by writing a response, the text you type is sent to and stored on our
server so the task can be marked complete.
- App context. When the app opens a task,
it may tell us the name of the app you're trying to unlock, so we can tailor
the on-screen message.
- Basic technical data. Like any website,
our server keeps standard, short-lived request logs (such as timestamps) to
operate and secure the service.
What we don't collect
- No accounts. Poru has no sign-up. We
don't ask for your name, email, or phone number. (If you email us for
support, we'll naturally see your email address.)
- Photos stay on your device. Some tasks
ask you to take a photo. The photo is used only on your device to confirm you
completed the task - it is never uploaded to us or stored anywhere.
- No tracking or ads. We don't use
third-party analytics, advertising, or trackers, and we never sell or share
your information.
- On-device blocking settings. Which apps
you block and your Screen Time settings stay on your device and are never sent
to us.
How your information is used
The limited information we receive is used only to provide the reflection and
temporary-unlock experience. We do not use it for advertising or profiling.
Storage & retention
Reflections are stored on our own server and kept only as long as needed to run
the service. They are tied to an anonymous session, not to your identity, so we
generally cannot connect a given entry back to a specific person.
Children's privacy
Poru is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the
"Last updated" date above.
