01About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Scroll Wise handles personal information when you use our Android learning and screen time app or our early access website. Scroll Wise is developed by Anuj Choudhry, based in India. For support and privacy questions, contact choudharyanuj268@gmail.com. Scroll Wise is intended for teenagers and adults aged 13 and older.
02Information you provide
When you join the waitlist, the website submits your email address, a signup timestamp and an approximate location to a Google Apps Script endpoint configured to store waitlist entries in Google Sheets. The location can include city, state or region, and country. If location lookup fails, it is recorded as “Unavailable.”
The interactive topic and quiz previews run in your browser. This implementation does not submit those entries or answers to a live AI service.
03Account and learning data
The app uses Google sign-in and Firebase Authentication. It stores your Firebase user identifier, display name, email address, profile photo URL, sign-in provider identifiers, account creation and last-seen timestamps in Cloud Firestore.
Firestore also stores your learning topic and description, learning and restriction settings, selected app package identifiers and names, trial start time, and quiz history. Quiz records include question content, selected answers, attempt and completion times, active answering duration when recorded, quiz type and whether app access was unlocked. Settings, learning history and prepared questions are also cached on your device.
If you use referrals, Firebase Cloud Functions and Firestore process invite codes, inviter and invitee account identifiers, claim status, rewards, bonus access periods, redemptions and related purchase transaction identifiers to administer rewards and prevent duplicate claims.
04AI question generation
The app sends your learning topic, description, goal duration, correct-answer target and review interval to Google Gemini through Firebase AI to generate practice questions and topic symbols. Previous question prompts or question content may also be sent to avoid repetition or create review questions. Do not include sensitive personal information in your learning topic or description.
Your email address and selected app list are not included in the learning prompts sent to Gemini. Google processes AI requests under its applicable service terms and data practices.
05Website analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand website traffic, including page views, referring websites, browser and device types, and approximate country. These reports help us improve the website and do not identify visitors by name or email. For details, see Vercel’s analytics privacy information.
06Approximate location
Only after you submit the waitlist form, your browser requests an IP-based location estimate from ipwho.is. That provider receives your network IP address to process the request. The estimate may reflect your VPN or network provider rather than your physical location.
The website does not request GPS access or device location permission. Raw IP addresses and coordinates are not included in the data sent to the waitlist sheet. The location provider and hosting services may process connection information under their own policies.
07How information is used
We use account information to sign you in and maintain your profile; learning settings and quiz history to prepare practice, track progress and restore your settings; and selected app identifiers to apply your chosen restrictions. Subscription and referral records help us verify paid access, award referral benefits and prevent duplicate rewards. App Check and integrity checks help protect the service from abuse.
Website waitlist records support signup administration and early access communications. Joining the waitlist does not create a mobile app account or purchase a subscription. We do not sell your personal information.
08Service providers
The website uses Google Apps Script and Google Sheets for waitlist processing and ipwho.is for approximate location lookup. Website hosting also requires processing network requests. These services may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
Read the Google Privacy Policy and the location provider’s Privacy Policy. The Android app uses Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Firebase AI with Google Gemini, and Firebase App Check with Play Integrity for service protection. It integrates RevenueCat for subscription purchases, restoration and entitlement checks, using your Firebase account identifier as its app user identifier. Subscription status and transaction information also support referral rewards. Android subscription payments are handled through Google Play billing, with RevenueCat managing subscription status and entitlements. The current app does not include advertising or a dedicated Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics integration. Providers may process technical connection, diagnostic and integrity information to deliver and protect their services.
09Retention and security
We retain account and learning records while your account is active, and waitlist records while you remain on the early access list. When you request deletion, we delete your account and associated data under our control within seven calendar days. This includes account profile, preferences, selected-app information, learning history and associated referral records. We also request deletion of associated data held by our service providers where applicable.
Google Play and other providers may retain records they independently control under their own policies and legal obligations. Deleting your Scroll Wise account does not erase records held independently by Google, such as your Google account or Google Play purchase history.
We use HTTPS for network communications, Firebase Authentication, Firestore access rules and App Check to protect data. No transmission or storage system is completely secure. Local settings and cached learning data can be removed through Android app storage settings or by uninstalling the app; this does not delete cloud records.
10Account and data deletion
You can request deletion of your Scroll Wise account and associated data even if you have uninstalled the app. Email choudharyanuj268@gmail.com with the subject “Scroll Wise account deletion,” preferably from the email address used to sign in. Include the account email so we can locate your records. Never send your password or payment details. We may ask you to verify account ownership to prevent unauthorized deletion.
We delete the account and associated data under our control within seven calendar days of your request. An in-app deletion request feature is planned; until it is available, use the email route above. Uninstalling the app or signing out does not submit a deletion request.
Deletion removes access to your saved profile, preferences and learning history. Manage any paid subscription separately in Google Play subscriptions; account deletion does not itself cancel billing. Subscription cancellation is not a prerequisite for requesting account deletion.
For access, correction, waitlist removal or other privacy requests, email the same address. You can revoke Android permissions through device settings.
11Mobile app permissions and data
Scroll Wise uses Android permissions to detect selected apps and present a learning gate. The setup screen requests:
- Usage access: to detect when a selected app is opened.
- Display over other apps: to show the learning gate over selected apps.
- Notifications (optional): to keep restriction controls easy to reach.
You can review or revoke these permissions in Android Settings. Revoking usage access or display-over-other-apps permission may prevent the learning gate from working. Notifications are optional.
The app reads launchable installed app names and package identifiers to offer an app picker. Your selected app names and package identifiers are saved with your preferences in Firestore and cached locally. The Android monitor checks foreground app-open events locally to decide when to show the learning gate; the raw foreground usage-event stream is not uploaded by the restriction monitor. The manifest also declares a foreground service and restart-after-boot support so enabled restrictions can continue. The app does not use an Android Accessibility Service.
12Age requirements
Scroll Wise is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact choudharyanuj268@gmail.com so the information can be reviewed and removed.
