Privacy Policy
Staydial is built so that what you protect yourself from stays private. Your boundaries, links, notes and focus history live on your iPhone. We don't run an account system, we don't receive your data, and we don't track you.
- No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs.
- Everything you enter is stored on your device. We never receive it.
- The Safari extension checks page addresses on your device only, and only on sites you've allowed.
- Screen Time selections are opaque tokens from Apple: we can't see which apps or websites you picked.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
1. Who we are
Staydial is published by ATR Labs ("we", "us"). If you have a question about this policy, email [email protected].
2. Information the app stores on your device
To work, Staydial saves the following in its private storage on your iPhone (shared only between the Staydial app and its own extensions on the same device):
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Boundaries and goals you create, including profile links or usernames you add (for example an Instagram username) and feeds you choose to block | To build the blocking rules you asked for |
| Focus profiles, schedules, time windows and settings | To run sessions and schedules |
| Focus sessions, check-ins and milestones | To show your progress |
| Reflections (private notes you write) | For you to read later |
| A key holder code, stored only as a salted one-way hash | To check the code without storing the original |
| A local activity log containing only event types, times and counts (never usernames, links or notes) | To show accurate stats and help diagnose problems on your device |
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else by Staydial. It stays until you delete it in the app (Settings › Delete all data) or delete the app. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, Apple's backup may include the app's data according to your backup settings.
3. Apple features Staydial uses
Safari extension
The Staydial extension receives your blocking rules from the app and installs them in Safari. Blocking happens inside Safari on your device. If you grant the extension access to instagram.com or youtube.com, it checks the address (URL) of pages on those sites, on your device, to block the specific profiles or feeds you chose, including when the site changes pages without reloading. It doesn't read page content or messages, doesn't keep a browsing history, and doesn't send anything anywhere. It reports back to the app only whether your rules were applied.
Screen Time (Family Controls)
If you allow it, Staydial uses Apple's Screen Time framework to block apps, categories or websites that you select in Apple's picker. Apple gives Staydial opaque tokens rather than the names of what you selected, so we can't see them. Staydial doesn't read your Screen Time usage data.
Photos (screenshot reading)
If you choose a screenshot to read a profile link from, Staydial reads the text on your device using Apple's Vision framework. The image isn't saved or uploaded. Only the handle you confirm is kept.
Notifications, Live Activities and widgets
Reminders and the focus timer on your Lock Screen are created on your device. Notification text never includes usernames, links or notes.
Share extension and Shortcuts
A link you share to Staydial, or a Shortcut you run, is handed to the app on your device and isn't sent anywhere.
4. Purchases
Plus is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment. We never receive your name, Apple ID or payment details. The app checks your purchase on your device using Apple's StoreKit. See Apple's Privacy Policy for how Apple handles purchase information.
5. What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent or share personal information.
- We don't use advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs.
- We don't track you across apps or websites, and we don't use the advertising identifier.
- We don't help anyone monitor another person. Staydial manages your own device only.
6. Our website
This policy covers the Staydial app. Our website, atrlabs.app, has its own website privacy policy.
7. Emails you send us
If you email support, we use your email address and message only to reply, and we delete the conversation when it's resolved or within 12 months.
8. Children
Staydial isn't directed to children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect any information from them. The app doesn't collect personal information from anyone.
9. Your choices and rights
Because your data stays on your device, you're always in control: view, change or delete it in the app, or delete everything at once in Settings. You can revoke Screen Time, notification, Photos or Safari extension access at any time in iOS Settings. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA), you may have rights to access or delete personal information we hold. In practice we hold none from the app, but you can contact us any time and we'll help.
10. Security
Staydial stores its data in iOS's protected app storage. Codes and keys are stored as salted hashes. Nothing is transmitted, so nothing can be intercepted in transit by us or our providers.
11. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for material changes, mention it in the app's release notes before the change takes effect.
