tapp-in Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Overview

tapp-in is a focus app that helps students block distracting apps during study sessions using NFC tags. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how the app works.

Data We Collect

tapp-in does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data stays on your device.

The app stores the following information locally on your device only:

— Your selected apps to block (stored using Apple's Screen Time framework)
— Session history including start time, end time, and duration
— Basic usage statistics (daily, weekly, monthly focus totals)

Screen Time & Family Controls

tapp-in uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings) to block apps during focus sessions. This data is managed entirely by Apple's framework on your device. tapp-in does not have access to your Screen Time data beyond the apps you explicitly select to block.

NFC

tapp-in uses NFC (Near Field Communication) to detect tags and start or end focus sessions. No data from NFC scans is stored or transmitted.

Third-Party Services

tapp-in does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no ads in the app.

Data Sharing

We do not share any data with third parties. There is no data to share — everything stays on your device.

Children's Privacy

tapp-in is designed for university students. The app does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
