Digital Sunset Privacy Policy

Last updated April 17, 2026.

This Privacy Policy describes how Next Apps LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Digital Sunset mobile application (“Digital Sunset,” or “the app”). Digital Sunset is designed from the ground up to keep your data on your device and away from our servers. This policy explains what that means in detail and what limited rights and obligations exist.

Summary

  • We do not collect your personal information. Digital Sunset has no user accounts and no sign-in.
  • We do not transmit your usage data anywhere. Your wind-down schedule, chosen apps, reflections, streak, and recap data all stay on your device.
  • We never see the names or identifiers of the apps you shield.Apple’s Family Controls framework gives us opaque tokens only.
  • We do not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or behavioral trackers.

1. What data Digital Sunset handles

Digital Sunset is a nightly wind-down tool for your phone. To deliver that function, the app stores the following information locally on your deviceusing Apple’s SwiftData framework and App Group storage:

  • Your chosen wind-down and wake-up times, and which days the schedule is active.
  • Opaque Application and Category tokens provided by Apple’s FamilyActivityPickerrepresenting the apps you’ve chosen to allow or block. These tokens cannot be resolved by Digital Sunset or by us to any app name, bundle identifier, or usage history.
  • Any text you type into the “reflection” prompt when you request an override, and the timestamp of that override.
  • Your nightly adherence summary (shield activation counts, alarm events, override counts) used to display the morning recap.
  • Your current streak count, if you opt in to streak tracking.

This data remains on your device. It is backed up through your normal iCloud device backup, if enabled, under Apple’s privacy terms. Digital Sunset itself does not transmit, upload, or synchronize this information to any server we operate.

2. Permissions Digital Sunset requests

  • Screen Time (FamilyControls, .individualauthorization). Required to apply shields to apps during your scheduled wind-down window. You can revoke this at any time in iOS Settings → Screen Time, which will disable Digital Sunset’s enforcement.
  • Notifications. Used to deliver the 15-minute pre-bedtime reminder you configure.
  • Alarms (AlarmKit). Used to play the morning wake-up alarm through Silent mode and Focus modes.

3. Third parties

Digital Sunset does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, attribution, or behavioral SDKs. There are no network requests from the app to our servers or to third parties under normal operation. If this ever changes, we will update this Policy accordingly and identify the service in question before shipping the change.

4. Children

Digital Sunset is intended for adults managing their own device usage. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because the app does not collect personal information from anyone, this limitation is by design rather than by policy enforcement.

5. Your rights

Access, deletion, portability

Because all Digital Sunset data is stored on your device, you have direct access to it. You can view your schedule and history inside the app. To delete all Digital Sunset data, uninstall the app, which removes its SwiftData store and App Group preferences. To export your data, you may use iOS’ standard device backup.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your personal data, and to object to its processing. Because we do not collect or store your personal information on our servers, we cannot fulfill requests against data we do not hold. Removing the app from your device is the equivalent action for local data. For questions, contact support@nextapps.fun.

California residents (CCPA and CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what personal information a business collects, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not collect personal information from Digital Sunset users, and we do not sell or share personal information with third parties. You therefore have nothing to opt out of with respect to Digital Sunset.

6. Security

Digital Sunset relies on Apple’s on-device encryption, App Group sandboxing, and Family Controls framework to protect locally stored information. Because the app does not maintain server infrastructure related to your Digital Sunset data, there is no remote attack surface specific to Digital Sunset.

7. Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will appear at this URL with an updated effective date. Material changes that affect how information is collected or used will be announced in the app prior to taking effect.
