Self.RPG Privacy Policy

Effective 6 October 2026

Self.RPG is built to keep your information on your iPhone. It has no accounts, no servers, no analytics and no advertising. The developer never receives your data, because the app never sends it anywhere.

What the app stores, and where

Everything below is stored only on your device, inside Self.RPG's own storage. Self.RPG does not sync it to iCloud or send it to the developer or anyone else. Like all app data, it is included in your iPhone's own backups if you have them switched on.

• Your character's name, level and XP, and the history of how it was earned.
• Your 30 day plan and the quests you plan, and whether you completed them.
• The answers you give when building a plan about your current habits (for example how much you sleep, exercise or use your phone), kept so the app can show how you have changed. If you give your age, sex, height and weight to work out a calorie target, they are used once for that calculation and not stored.
• Your settings: alarm and bedtime times, reminder times, focused work, meditation and journal goals, calorie targets, and your Screen Time limit.
• Records of wake-ups (including the step count used to judge them), focused work sittings, meditation sessions, Screen Time days, and the figures you enter when you complete a quest (such as sets and minutes of a workout, or the calories you ate).
• Your journal entries. Self.RPG counts their words to work out your reward; it does not read, analyse or share what you write.

Screen Time and blocked apps

If you allow it, Self.RPG uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks (Family Controls, Device Activity and Managed Settings) to block the apps you choose during focused work, to tell you whether you stayed under your daily Screen Time limit, and, if you switch it on, to block the apps you choose for the rest of the day once you reach that limit.

• The apps you choose are held as opaque tokens created by iOS. Self.RPG cannot see which apps they are, and they never leave your device.
• iOS tells Self.RPG only when a usage threshold is reached, not what you did. Self.RPG uses these thresholds to record your limit and a range for your total screen time each day (for example "between 1 h 30 min and 1 h 45 min"), stored on your device to show your progress. It never learns which apps you used or for how long each.
• The exact total shown on the Screen Time page is displayed by an iOS extension that has no way to pass it back to the app; it is never stored.
• This information is used only to run these features for you. It is never shared, sold, used for advertising, or passed to any third party.

Motion and steps

If you allow it, Self.RPG reads your step count from your iPhone for the few minutes after your wake alarm, to check that you got out of bed. It stores the count for that morning only.

Notifications and alarms

Alarms and reminders are scheduled on your device by iOS. No notification is sent from a server.

Subscriptions

Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Self.RPG checks your subscription status with Apple on your device; it never sees your payment details. Apple's handling of purchases is described in Apple's own privacy policy.

Exporting and deleting your data

You can export everything Self.RPG has recorded, including your journal entries, from Settings, Backup, whether or not you are subscribed. The export is a file you choose where to save; the app does not send it anywhere. Deleting Self.RPG from your iPhone deletes all of its data.

Children

Self.RPG is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
