DEADSCROLL is built to interrupt compulsive scrolling, not to turn your attention into an advertising product. This page explains what the app needs access to, what stays on your device, and where limited third-party processing may exist in the version of the app you install.
DEADSCROLL ("we," "our," or "the App") is a digital wellness tool designed to interrupt compulsive scrolling and attention drift. We aim to keep core settings and intervention history on your device. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App handles, what stays local, and when limited technical information may be processed by third-party services used in the version of the App you install.
DEADSCROLL requires Android's AccessibilityService API to perform its core intervention behavior.
Why it is needed: The service is used to detect when you open user-selected target apps and certain interface events, such as scrolling, so DEADSCROLL can decide when to show an intervention overlay.
What it does not do: We do not use AccessibilityService to read the content of your private messages, collect passwords, or transmit the contents of your screen to DEADSCROLL-controlled servers. The service is used to support intervention behavior inside the apps you choose to target.
DEADSCROLL does not provide DEADSCROLL-hosted cloud sync for your settings or intervention history.
Local data: Core app data, such as your selected target apps, settings, and intervention history, is stored locally on your device using standard Android storage mechanisms.
Third-party services: Some builds of DEADSCROLL may include Google Firebase or similar third-party services for analytics, diagnostics, or configuration. If those services are enabled in the version you use, they may receive limited technical or app-interaction information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
No advertising sale of data: We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Apart from limited disclosures to third-party service providers described in this policy, your app settings and intervention history are intended to remain on your device and are not shared by DEADSCROLL with third parties.
You control whether DEADSCROLL has access to Accessibility, Overlay, and related Android permissions. If you revoke those permissions in system settings, the App's core protection features may stop working until they are restored.
If you remove the App, Android generally removes DEADSCROLL's local app data from the device. If limited information has already been processed by an enabled third-party provider in your build, that provider may retain it according to its own policies.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, the permissions DEADSCROLL uses, or the App's technical architecture, contact product@deadscroll.app.
