This policy explains how Stifle handles information for Stifle: Block Betting, an iPhone app for blocking betting apps, keeping a daily promise, reminders, progress, and accountability features.

Effective July 23, 2026Contact: support@getstifle.com

Information We Collect

Stifle collects the information needed to create and run your account, including your email address, optional phone number, account status, onboarding progress, subscription status, and support messages you send us.

The app may record protection events such as onboarding completion, permission status, daily contract activity, streak milestones, selected product tier, and feature requests so we can operate the service and improve reliability.

Screen Time and Blocking Data

Stifle uses Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, and Managed Settings frameworks to help you choose and block betting-related iPhone apps.

Your Screen Time selection data is handled by Apple frameworks on your device. Stifle does not sell your Screen Time data and does not use it for advertising.

How We Use Information

  • To create your account and keep your progress associated with you.
  • To provide app blocking, daily promise, reminder, streak, and accountability features.
  • To process support requests, feature requests, and app directory submissions.
  • To understand whether setup, permissions, and core protection flows are working.
  • To meet legal, security, billing, and App Store obligations.

Service Providers

Stifle uses service providers to operate the app, including Supabase for authentication, database, and backend functions, Apple for App Store distribution, in-app purchases, Screen Time frameworks, and device notifications, and email or support tooling when you contact us.

These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to Stifle.

Subscriptions and Payments

Full Protection subscriptions are purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system. Stifle receives subscription status information from Apple, but we do not receive or store your full payment card details.

Data Sharing

Stifle does not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers, when required by law, to protect rights and security, or with your direction, such as when you submit a support request.

Retention and Deletion

We keep account and app operation data for as long as needed to provide Stifle, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. You can request account deletion or data deletion by emailing support@getstifle.com.

Children

Stifle is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information to Stifle, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

We may update this policy as Stifle changes. The effective date above shows when this version took effect.
