Brain Saves, also referred to as "BrainSave" ("we", "our", or "us"), is the data controller for this application and is dedicated to protecting your privacy while empowering you to overcome digital addiction, stop doomscrolling, and reclaim mental focus. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application ("the App") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards your data. By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to the practices described here.
Before creating an account or using BrainSave, all users are required to review and explicitly accept this Privacy Policy. Your consent is cryptographically recorded with an immutable timestamp (privacyPolicyAcceptedAt) saved in our secure Google Cloud Firestore database.
UsageStatsManager to compute your Brain Health Score.AccessibilityService to power the live anti-doomscroll overlay.Important – How we use the Accessibility Service: Brain Saves is a digital-wellbeing app and is not designed as an assistive tool for users with disabilities. We use Android's AccessibilityService for one narrow purpose only: to detect scroll/swipe events in short-form video apps (YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok) so we can count how many you watch and show a live awareness overlay. The service is enabled only after you read an in-app disclosure and grant it yourself in Android Settings, you can turn it off at any time in Settings > Accessibility, and the gesture data it reads is processed entirely on your device and is never stored, transmitted, or shared.
Every new user receives a 7-day free trial upon registration. Subscription payments (₹21/month or ₹221/year) are processed via Razorpay supporting UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), NetBanking, and Cards. BrainSave never sees or stores your bank credentials or card numbers. Digital invoices with transaction IDs are saved under your account.
You have granular control over how you appear to others: Public (visible on global community board), Friends Only, or Private. Selecting Private immediately purges your record from the public community leaderboard.
In full compliance with GDPR and international privacy regulations, you can delete your account at any time via Profile Settings > Delete Account. Triggering deletion permanently and immediately purges your profile, all usage records, leaderboard entries, receipts, and authentication credentials.
All screen time logs and gesture triggers are processed 100% locally on your phone. Cloud data is transmitted over TLS/SSL and stored in secure Google Cloud Firestore databases. We do NOT sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal data to any advertiser or third party.
We do not sell your data. We share the minimum data necessary with the following trusted processors purely to operate the App:
Your focus coaching nudges are generated entirely on your device from your own numbers — no coaching data is sent to any AI service or external server.
We keep your account and progress data only for as long as your account is active. On-device data (screen-time logs and gesture counts) never leaves your phone. When you delete your account, all associated cloud records are permanently removed immediately, and backup copies are purged within 30 days. You may also email us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data.
Brain Saves is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
