Effective Date June 12, 2026
App Name ScrollStop

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how ScrollStop ("we", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and protects your information.

ScrollStop is designed to operate entirely locally on your device to protect your privacy.

1. Information We Collect

ScrollStop does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

The App is designed to operate entirely locally on your device to protect your privacy.

2. Use of Android Accessibility Service API

ScrollStop requires the use of the Android AccessibilityService API to provide its core functionality, which is blocking short-form video feeds.

Why We Need It

  • The AccessibilityService is strictly used to observe the active window content in order to detect when you open specific short-form video features, such as Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or TikTok.
  • Once detected, the AccessibilityService allows ScrollStop to display an intervention overlay to help prevent doomscrolling.

What We Do Not Do With the AccessibilityService

No screen content collection We do not collect, read, or transmit your screen content, personal messages, passwords, or any typed text.
No unauthorized setting changes We do not change your device settings without your explicit consent.
No screen control We do not interact with the screen on your behalf.
No external transmission We do not send any data collected by the AccessibilityService to any external servers. All processing happens locally on your device.
Accessibility access is used only for detecting supported short-form video screens and showing a blocking or intervention overlay.

3. Data Storage

Any configuration data, such as app preferences, protection status, and block statistics, is stored locally on your device in secure, private app storage using Android DataStore and Room Database.

This data is never uploaded or shared.

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
