VisionGuard Desktop Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 13, 2026

VisionGuard Desktop is built as a local-first macOS screen-break app. The app is designed to support break timing and local habit feedback without requiring an account for core use or collecting screen contents.

Information stored locally

VisionGuard may store timer state, break settings, local analytics events, widget state, purchase entitlement status, and related app preferences on your Mac. This information supports the timer, break overlay, settings, widgets, local stats, and purchase restoration UI.

Information VisionGuard does not collect

VisionGuard does not collect screenshots, camera frames, keystrokes, document contents, browser history, browser URLs, window titles, or employee-monitoring data.

Local analytics

Break analytics are local to your Mac. The app may calculate completed breaks, skipped breaks, longest work block, streak, and breaks shown from local events. You can reset local analytics in Settings.

Widgets and app group storage

VisionGuard may use Apple's app group storage so the main app and widget can share timer state, command state, and related local preferences. This supports widget display and controls on the same Mac.

Purchases

App Store purchases are processed by Apple. VisionGuard may read StoreKit purchase and entitlement status so the app can show your current plan, restore purchases, and support code redemption. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's own terms and privacy policy.

Support and beta access requests

If you contact support through the App Store listing or request beta access from the website, the information you choose to provide may be used to respond to your request or manage TestFlight access. Beta access requests ask for first name, last name, Apple ID email for TestFlight, and phone number. The website opens your email app with a prefilled message and does not store the form submission.

Optional future features

If optional cloud, AI, team, or computer-vision features are added in a future release, they should require clear user consent and this policy should be updated before those features collect or process new categories of data.

Children

VisionGuard is intended for general productivity and wellness use on macOS. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

This policy may be updated as VisionGuard changes. Material changes should be reflected on this page before the updated app version is submitted for review.
