Pause is built and operated by Hadger studio (ИП Шмигирилов, Kazakhstan). This policy describes how Pause handles your data. The short version: Pause collects nothing.
When you type a reason for opening a routed app, the text is held in memory only for the duration of the reflection screen (about 30 seconds) and is then dropped. It is never written to disk, never copied to the system pasteboard, never sent to any server. Apple's on-device Foundation Models generates the reflection sentence; on older devices a built-in static lookup runs instead. Either way: no network call.
Your list of routed apps, your reflection tone preference, and a paywall-state counter are stored locally via Apple's SwiftData framework, protected by full-device encryption.
Pause uses Apple's StoreKit framework for subscription verification. When you purchase or restore a subscription, the StoreKit framework contacts Apple's App Store endpoints. This is Apple-controlled and unavoidable for any paid app on the App Store. Pause itself does not initiate any other outbound network call.
Pause is rated 4+ but is not designed for children. Pause does not knowingly collect data from any user, including children under 13.
Material changes will be reflected in this page's "Last updated" date. If a change affects what Pause collects, the change will be announced in-app before it takes effect.
