Quiet does not collect your data. There is no server, no account, and no analytics. Everything it knows stays on your device.
Which app is currently open. Quiet checks the foreground app roughly once a second while a blocking session is running, so it knows when to cover one.
How long apps have been used. Quiet reads Android's usage statistics to work out whether you stayed off your blocked apps for a day, which is how rewards are calculated.
Which apps are installed. So it can show you a list to choose from.
All three come from Android's "Usage access" permission, which you grant explicitly and can revoke at any time in Settings.
Quiet cannot see inside any app. Not your messages, your content, your browsing history, your photos, your location, your contacts, or your accounts.
Nothing.
Quiet has no servers. It makes no network requests except to Google Play, when you subscribe or when it checks whether your subscription is still active. That exchange is handled entirely by Google and is covered by Google's own privacy policy.
Quiet keeps a short technical log on your device to help diagnose faults. It records events such as "a cover was shown" or "the overlay permission was revoked".
It does not record app names. Apps appear as a scrambled identifier generated from a random value unique to your installation, which cannot be reversed and cannot be matched against any other device.
These logs never leave your phone unless you deliberately choose to share a file with the developer.
Payment is handled by Google Play. Quiet never sees your payment details. It stores only whether a subscription is currently active.
All of Quiet's data lives in its private storage on your device. Uninstalling Quiet deletes all of it. There is nothing held elsewhere to request or erase, because nothing is held elsewhere.
If Android backup is enabled, your settings and streak may be included in your device backup, which is controlled by you and Google. Subscription status and diagnostics are excluded from backups.
Quiet is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone.
If this policy changes, the updated version will appear here and the date above will change.
