YOUR PRIVACY

Privacy policy

Effective October 27, 2026

ScrollTamer is owned and operated by The Wavering Line LLC, based in Kansas, United States (“we,” “us,” or “our”). ScrollTamer is an iPhone app that helps you set daily limits for selected apps. This policy explains what the app handles and where that information goes.

Information handled on your device

If you authorize Screen Time access, ScrollTamer stores your selected app tokens, per-app limits, and protection status in the app’s shared on-device storage. Apple’s Family Controls framework uses opaque tokens to represent selected apps. ScrollTamer does not receive the app names or your usage history. The app uses Device Activity events to apply limits on your device.

ScrollTamer does not send your selections, limits, or usage information to a ScrollTamer server. The current app has no user accounts, analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or cross-app advertising tracking.

Screen Time permission

Screen Time access is optional and is requested by iOS. Without it, the app cannot monitor app usage or apply shields. You can manage or revoke this authorization in iOS Settings under Screen Time. The exact settings label can vary by iOS version.

Notifications

With your permission, ScrollTamer may show a local notification when an app is approaching its daily limit. These notifications are scheduled on your device; ScrollTamer does not use a push-notification service.

Purchases

If you purchase ScrollTamer Plus, Apple processes the one-time in-app purchase through the App Store. ScrollTamer checks the purchase entitlement with StoreKit so it can enable Plus features. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Support emails

If you email support, we receive the email address, message, and any files you choose to send. We use that information to respond to your request and retain it only as long as reasonably needed to handle and document the support issue. Please do not send passwords or sensitive Screen Time details.

Website access data

This website does not ask you to create an account and does not use analytics or advertising pixels. The website hosting provider may process basic technical request information to deliver and secure the pages. That processing is subject to the hosting provider’s policies.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell personal information. ScrollTamer does not maintain server-side copies of your app selections, limits, or usage history. On-device information remains subject to iOS storage and backup behavior. Deleting the app removes its local app data according to iOS behavior. Apple processes Screen Time authorization and App Store transactions under Apple’s own privacy terms.

Children and family use

ScrollTamer’s current design is for individual use on the device where it is installed. It does not provide a parent dashboard or collect information about children.
