Data Practices & Transparency

At TimeTrade, we believe you should know exactly how your family's data is handled. We prioritize security, privacy, and transparency in everything we do.

framework Native Framework Usage

TimeTrade implements the following Apple frameworks to ensure privacy and security when managing screen time and chores:

  • •
    FamilyControls: Used to authorize the app as a parental supervision tool. All authorization happens through Apple's secure system prompts.
  • •
    ManagedSettings: Used to enforce app shielding and screen time controls. These settings are applied locally on the device and never leave the child's phone.
  • •
    DeviceActivity: Used to monitor usage duration. We only receive aggregate time data (e.g., "15 minutes of Social Media") to facilitate our reward system.

analytics What We Collect vs. What We Don't

We are committed to the principle of Data Minimization—we only collect what we need to operate TimeTrade safely and effectively.

Category What We Collect What We NEVER See
Communications None. Contacts, call logs, or message content.
Browsing Filter Status only. Specific URLs or browser history.
Location None. Current location, GPS data, or history.

sync_lock Secure Cloud Synchronization

TimeTrade uses a secure cloud database to sync your family's configuration across devices. This includes:

  • •
    Parent Account: Verification details and secure PIN.
  • •
    Child Profiles: Nicknames, Date of Birth (for age-appropriate content), and current points balance.
  • •
    Chores & Rewards: The list of tasks and rewards you have created.
Encrypted in Transit & at Rest: All data is encrypted using SSL/TLS in transit and AES-256 encryption when stored.

delete_outline Data Deletion

You can request full deletion of your family's data by deleting your account within the app settings or contacting support. All records are permanently purged from our infrastructure without recovery.
