1. About this policy
This policy explains how Game Improvement Apps, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“we,” “us,” or “our”), handles information when you use the 90s Phone iPhone app, visit www.ninetiesphone.com, or contact us. The app does not require you to create an account. Contact us about privacy at support@gameimprovementapps.com.
Some information remains on your iPhone. Other information is processed by Apple, RevenueCat, Amplitude, Meta, the website’s hosting provider, or our email service. The sections below distinguish those activities. The first release uses RevenueCat for subscriptions, Amplitude for product analytics, and Meta SDK for app events and advertising measurement. It does not include Firebase Crashlytics or AppsFlyer. We will update this policy before adding materially different data practices.
2. Screen Time permissions and local choices
With your authorization, 90s Phone uses Apple’s FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity technologies to let you choose distracting apps and apply restrictions. The app also stores your selected essential apps, mode, widget preferences, setup state, and Screen Time selection locally on your device, including storage shared with its widgets and extensions. These settings are used to provide the app’s functions.
We do not operate a company account or backend that stores the names or tokens of your selected apps or your detailed Screen Time usage. Those selections are not sent to RevenueCat. We do not use selected distracting apps or detailed Screen Time data for advertising. Apple controls its Screen Time permission system. Revoking permission in iOS settings can disable blocking; you may also change selections in the app and remove local data by deleting the app, subject to iOS backup behavior.
A shortcut that opens another app does not give us access to that app’s messages, contacts, photos, or content merely because it appears in your 90s Phone widget.
3. Purchases and RevenueCat
Apple processes your App Store purchase and payment. We use RevenueCat to check subscription entitlements, restore access, and manage the premium features you purchased. RevenueCat receives an app-specific purchaser identifier, purchase and subscription details such as product and entitlement status, transaction dates and receipts, and technical information such as device type, operating system, and last-seen time. RevenueCat may assign an anonymous app user identifier when no account identifier is provided. We can access purchase and entitlement information needed to provide support and operate subscriptions. We do not receive your full payment card number.
RevenueCat’s processing is governed by its service and privacy terms. Apple also processes App Store purchases and Apple Account information under its own policies. We do not send your selected app lists or detailed Screen Time reports to RevenueCat.
4. Product analytics and Meta app events
Amplitude receives general product events such as sessions, onboarding progress, screens viewed, feature taps, mode changes, and subscription-related actions that we instrument, along with event time, app version, device and operating-system details, approximate region derived from network information, and an analytics device identifier. We use these events to understand how the app works and improve its features. We do not include selected app names or tokens or detailed Screen Time usage in Amplitude events.
Meta automatic app event logging is enabled. The Meta SDK collects standard events such as installation, app launch, and purchase, as well as any additional events we configure. Meta may receive event time, app and device details, network information, and identifiers permitted by device settings to help us measure and improve our advertising campaigns. We do not include the names or tokens of apps you select for blocking or detailed Screen Time reports in Meta events.
Apple may provide us with App Store purchase, download, and aggregated app-performance information through its developer tools. These reports are subject to Apple’s practices and settings. RevenueCat’s subscription records can also indicate when the app last communicated with its service. The first release does not include Firebase Crashlytics or AppsFlyer.
When you visit www.ninetiesphone.com, the site’s hosting and security services process technical request information such as your IP address, browser and device details, requested page, date and time, and security or error logs to deliver and protect the site. The site currently provides links to the App Store, these policies, support email, and social accounts. If optional site analytics, advertising pixels, forms, or email signup are added, we will update this notice and provide any required controls before using them.
If you email support, we receive your email address, message, attachments, and correspondence. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed to resolve your request.
5. How and why information is used
We use local choices to provide the shortcuts, widgets, modes, and blocking features you select. We use purchase records and technical information to verify subscriptions, restore access, respond to billing or functionality questions, prevent misuse, and keep the app working. We use Amplitude events to evaluate and improve product features and Meta app events to understand installs and purchases and measure the performance of our advertising. We use website request data to deliver and secure the site and support correspondence to respond and resolve problems.
Where EU, UK, or similar data-protection law applies, our legal grounds generally include performing our contract with you for app functions and subscriptions; our legitimate interests in security, troubleshooting, and responding to support; compliance with legal duties, such as required accounting records; and consent for advertising technologies when required. We will obtain required permission before using app data for tracking as Apple defines that term.
Apple defines tracking to include linking data from this app with information from other companies’ apps or websites for targeted advertising or advertising measurement. If our Meta configuration performs tracking under Apple’s rules, we will request permission through App Tracking Transparency before enabling it. You can decline or change that permission in iOS settings. If permission is unavailable or denied, we will not use app data for tracking as Apple defines it. Meta may still receive limited app events for purposes permitted without that permission.
6. Sharing and third parties
We disclose information as necessary to Apple for payments and operating-system services; RevenueCat for subscription management; Amplitude for product analytics; Meta for app events and advertising measurement; our website hosting and security provider for site delivery; and our email provider for support. We may share limited information with professional advisers, as required by law, to protect rights or security, or in connection with a business transaction subject to applicable safeguards. These recipients receive information relevant to their role. Apple and certain providers may also act under their own privacy policies.
We do not sell your selected app lists or Screen Time usage. Depending on the final Meta configuration and applicable law, other app-event disclosures may be considered sharing for targeted advertising. Where that is the case, we will provide the consent or opt-out choices required by law.
7. Retention, deletion, and security
Your local choices remain on your device until you change them, clear the app’s data, or remove the app, subject to iOS backup behavior. RevenueCat retains purchase and technical records in accordance with its service terms and the period needed to manage subscriptions; transaction records may also need to be retained to comply with law, resolve disputes, or prevent fraud. Amplitude retains analytics events and Meta retains app-event information according to our applicable settings and their service terms. We retain support correspondence and website operational logs only for as long as reasonably needed for their support, security, and legal purposes, then delete or de-identify them where feasible. We do not set the retention period for Apple Account and App Store records.
To request access to or deletion of data we can identify in our systems or service providers, email support@gameimprovementapps.com. Because there is no account, we may need a transaction identifier or other information sufficient to locate a record. We cannot retrieve local-only Screen Time selections from your phone. You can manage Apple’s purchase and account information through Apple. We take reasonable steps to protect information under our control, but no system is perfectly secure.
8. International processing
We are based in the United States and make the app available internationally. Apple, RevenueCat, Amplitude, Meta, and the providers that deliver the website and support may process information in the United States or other countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for transferring personal data from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on a valid transfer mechanism or other lawful basis. Contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your data.
9. Your choices and rights
You can edit app selections, revoke Screen Time permission in iOS, stop using the app, or remove it. Apple provides controls for App Store purchases and subscriptions. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection regarding personal data we process, and to complain to a privacy regulator. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable rights.
Submit a request to support@gameimprovementapps.com. We may need to verify your identity or authority before acting and will respond within the period required by applicable law. Some rights have lawful exceptions. If a record is held only by Apple or cannot reasonably be linked to you without additional information, we will explain the limitation.
10. Children and teenagers
90s Phone is intended for people aged 13 or older. It is not directed to children under 13, does not ask for a date of birth, and does not require an account. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, contact support@gameimprovementapps.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Users below the age of legal majority should have a parent or guardian’s permission to use the app and make purchases.
The first release includes Meta SDK. Because the app does not ask your age, we do not rely on an in-app age declaration to enable advertising tracking for teenagers. Apple may restrict tracking permission for child accounts and people under 18. We will not use the Meta integration for tracking when Apple’s permission is denied, unavailable, or restricted, and we will apply any additional age-appropriate controls or parental authorization required by local law.
11. Changes and contact
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the app, website, providers, or law. We will post the revised policy with a new effective date and provide further notice or seek consent when required.
