Amar Vhanshetti built the Stay Away: Family Screen Control app as a parental control and screen-time management application. This service is provided by Amar Vhanshetti and is intended for use by parents and guardians to manage device usage for children. Also, indivisuals can use this app to control & monitor their phone usage.

This page informs users about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information if anyone decides to use our Service.

 Information Collection and Use

Stay Away: Family Screen Control is designed to operate on-device primarily and does not collect or store personal data on external servers.

The app may access certain device information solely to provide its parental control functionality.

The app does not collect or transmit personal data such as:

• Personal names
• Email addresses
• Messages or chat content
• Photos or videos
• Contacts
• Keystrokes or typed text

All usage monitoring and restrictions are processed locally on the device.

Permissions Used by the App

The app requires certain Android permissions to function properly.

Accessibility Service

The app uses the Accessibility Service to detect which application is currently active on the device. This allows the app to enforce parental control rules such as:

• Blocking selected apps
• Enforcing screen-time limits
• Applying scheduled downtime

The Accessibility Service is used only for parental control functionality and not for collecting personal data.

 Usage Access Permission

The app uses Usage Access to generate screen-time statistics and insights about application usage. This information is processed locally and is used only to display usage reports within the app.

Device Administrator Permission (if enabled)

This permission helps prevent unauthorized uninstallation of the parental control app by children without the parent’s permission.

Data Storage

All settings, screen-time data, and app restrictions are stored locally on the device. The app does not transmit user data to external servers.

Children’s Privacy

This application is intended to be used by parents or guardians to manage device usage for children.

The app itself does not knowingly collect personal information from children. All data used by the app remains on the device and is controlled by the parent or guardian.

Third-Party Services

The app may use third-party services provided by trusted partners. These services may collect anonymous technical information according to their own privacy policies.

Examples may include services provided by Google such as Google Play services.

These services are used only to support app functionality and distribution.

Security

We value your trust in using our application. Since the app operates primarily offline and stores data locally on the device, the risk of external data exposure is minimized.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Users are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.

Changes become effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
