Meadowly Privacy Policy

Developer and privacy contact

Meadowly is operated by the Meadowly app team. For privacy questions, deletion requests, or data enquiries, contact hello@meadowlyapp.com.

Who this policy applies to

Meadowly is a gentle phone habit and step-based unlock tool. It is designed for people who want to turn movement into app time. Meadowly is not designed as parental control, workplace monitoring, surveillance, or a tamper-proof blocking product.

Meadowly is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to Meadowly, contact us at hello@meadowlyapp.com.

Information Meadowly handles in the Android app

Meadowly handles the following information to provide app functionality:

• Step data. Meadowly may read step counts from your phone step counter or from Health Connect, depending on the step source you choose. Step data is used to calculate earned unlock minutes.
• App choices and app identifiers. Meadowly stores the apps you choose to limit, including app names, package names, icons, whether each app is limited, and unlock timer status.
• Accessibility events for app locking. If you enable Meadowly app locking, Android Accessibility lets Meadowly notice when a limited app is opened and bring you back to Meadowly when your minutes run out. Meadowly does not use this access to read messages, passwords, financial information, or the contents of other apps for advertising or profiling.
• Meadowly activity. Meadowly stores your trades, used minutes, shared pool or per-app timer state, rollover settings, streak state, flower state, app theme, tutorial status, and other local app settings.

How the Android app stores information

The Android app stores its settings, app choices, trades, timers, step-derived minute totals, rollover state, and streak state locally on your phone in Meadowly's app storage. Meadowly does not require a login, account, payment account, or backend server for the current app experience.

Website and waitlist information

If you join the Meadowly waitlist, we collect the email address you submit so we can send launch updates, early access information, and availability updates. The waitlist is hosted using website infrastructure such as Cloudflare. We do not sell waitlist email addresses.

Crash reporting

Meadowly may use Firebase Crashlytics to help diagnose crashes and stability issues in the Android app. Crash reports may include device type, operating system version, app version, crash logs, and diagnostic information. Meadowly does not use Crashlytics to collect screen content, locked app content, step history, or the content of apps you open.

How Meadowly uses information

Meadowly uses information only to provide and improve the Meadowly experience, including:

• turning steps into unlock minutes;
• letting you trade minutes into a shared pool or app-specific timers;
• showing your activity, used minutes, streak, and meadow progress;
• detecting when a limited app opens and when your minutes run out;
• saving the settings and app choices you select; and
• sending waitlist or availability emails if you joined the waitlist.

Sharing and selling

Meadowly does not sell personal or sensitive user data. Meadowly does not share your step data, Health Connect data, accessibility events, app choices, trades, or streak state with advertisers. Website and email service providers may process waitlist email addresses only as needed to operate the waitlist and send updates.

Security

Meadowly uses Android's normal app storage protections for local app data. The Meadowly website is served over HTTPS. No method of storage or transmission is perfect, but Meadowly is designed to keep the Android app's habit and step data on your device unless you choose to share information through another channel.

Your choices

• You can change your step source in Meadowly settings.
• You can revoke phone step, Health Connect, or Accessibility permissions in Android settings.
• You can remove limited apps in Meadowly settings.
• You can clear local Meadowly data or uninstall Meadowly from Android settings.
• You can ask us to remove your waitlist email by emailing hello@meadowlyapp.com.

Retention and deletion

Local Android app data remains on your phone until you clear Meadowly app data or uninstall Meadowly. Waitlist email addresses are kept until we no longer need them for launch and availability updates, or until you ask us to delete your email.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Meadowly changes. If we make material changes, we will update the date above and publish the revised policy here.
