Reduce screen time together with people you trust—not lockouts.

This policy describes the information PhonePact LLC collects through this pre-launch website. It does not describe the future mobile application, whose privacy policy will be published before launch once its data practices are finalized.

Information We Collect

• Waitlist: Your email address, an optional product-interest category, and—only if you choose SMS updates—your mobile number and consent selection.
• Feedback: The name, email address, and message you choose to submit.
• Submission metadata: Form-processing services may receive basic technical information such as submission time, IP address, and browser information for delivery, security, and abuse prevention.

How We Use Information

We use submitted information to manage the waitlist, send requested launch or beta updates, respond to feedback, improve PhonePact, maintain security, and comply with applicable law. We do not sell personal information or use it for third-party advertising.

Service Providers

Formspree processes waitlist and feedback submissions on our behalf. Google Fonts may receive basic request information when your browser downloads site fonts. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Email and SMS Choices

You can unsubscribe from email updates using the link in an email. SMS updates are optional and require affirmative consent. Message and data rates may apply; reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

Retention, Security, and Your Choices

We retain pre-launch submissions only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above. No internet service can promise absolute security. To ask for access, correction, or deletion of information you submitted, email info@getphonepact.com.

Children

This waitlist is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes and Contact

We may update this policy as the website and product evolve. Material changes will be reflected by a revised date. Questions may be sent to info@getphonepact.com.

PhonePact LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is built upon a non-negotiable architectural charter of absolute data sovereignty. We enforce a strict zero-tracking ecosystem: we utilize no tracking cookies, deploy no third-party marketing or advertising pixels, and enforce an absolute zero-data-selling policy.

To ensure complete transparency, this document is explicitly divided into two operational halves: Part 1: The Pre-Launch Waitlist Web Funnel, and Part 2: The Mobile Application Ecosystem.

Part 1: The Pre-Launch Waitlist Web Funnel

This section governs data collected directly from our website landing page before the application goes live.

1.1 Data Collected via the Waitlist

We only collect information that you voluntarily input into our waitlist form. This consists of:

• Email Address: Required so we can send launch and beta-access updates.
• Optional Preferences: Your selected screen-time goal category, if you choose to provide it.
• Optional SMS Information: Your phone number, consent selection, and submission timestamp if you request text updates.

1.2 Use of Waitlist Information

Information collected through our website is used strictly to establish and execute our pre-launch communication channel. We use this data to:

• Send email updates about PhonePact milestones, beta access, and launch availability.
• Send automated text updates only when you voluntarily provide a phone number and affirmatively consent.
• Use optional, aggregate preference information to improve the product.
• Respond to customer support requests initiated via info@getphonepact.com.

We use Formspree as a form-processing service provider to deliver waitlist and feedback submissions. Formspree processes submitted information on our behalf; we do not authorize it to sell your information or use it for advertising.

Part 2: The Mobile Application Ecosystem

This section governs data handling, synchronization, and device permissions inside the PhonePact mobile application.

2.1 Account Authentication & Core Identity

When you register an account inside the mobile application, we capture the following identity parameters:

• Sign In with Apple (SIWA): If you choose to authenticate via Apple, we collect your unique secure user identifier token, your name as registered with Apple, and your associated email address (or your anonymous, system-generated Apple relay email mask).
• The Covenant Signature: To solidify your intent, you are required to physically sketch your signature asset onto your device’s capacitive screen matrix. This asset is rasterized and permanently bound to your user profile card exclusively within that specific accountability cluster.

2.2 Core Mobile Tracking & System Integrations

[Technical operating system hooks and background framework integration details to be finalized prior to mobile launch.]

• Ambient Tracking Loops: The application continuously evaluates cumulative foreground device activity throughout the day against your self-selected daily target metric to fire text-only progress notices.
• Application Exception Controls: If you explicitly request to exclude a particular application from your monitored allocation ledger, the application name, the requested temporal duration, and the status of peer-verification are tracked to manage system exceptions.

2.3 Peer-to-Peer Interactivity & The “Looking-Glass Self” Loop

PhonePact leverages social presence to interrupt unconscious phone usage loops. By participating in an Accountability Circle, your data is shared under these highly specific, conditional rules:

• Roster Visibility: Your profile name, picture, personal daily screentime target, and written statement of intent are continuously visible to all members within your active circle rosters.
• The Conditional Privacy Restriction: High-precision, real-time incremental usage progress is completely hidden from peers while you track underneath your daily threshold.
• Milestone Breaches: The instant your daily target metric is hit exactly, the app displays a full-screen overlay. If you choose not to input an explanation, an automated system broadcast notification is transmitted to the group detailing your hour allotment overage.
• 24-Hour Ephemeral Chat (The “Room”): Manual user chat messages, automated target notifications, and collaborative metric request cards are processed through the “Room”. The chat engine executes an aggressive maintenance script that permanently purges and deletes every single message artifact and data point from local devices and databases exactly 24 hours after its creation timestamp.

2.4 Financial Architecture & Transaction Processing

[Payment gateway partner and transactional architecture details to be finalized prior to mobile launch. PhonePact LLC will never directly view, store, or handle credit card numbers or financial credentials.]

2.5 Data Retention and The Day 30 “Step Away Gently” Clause

• The 30-Day Trial Tracking: The application tracks the precise activation date of your device’s free trial period.
• The Right to Automatic Erasure: At exactly 12:00 AM on the 30th day of operational tracking, the app freezes normal execution loops and asks if you have noticed a change in your relationship with your screen. If you choose not to commit to the subscription tier, your account structure, circle associations, covenant signatures, and tracking metrics are instantly and permanently deleted from our system infrastructure with zero historical records or backups retained.

Part 3: Global Data Clauses

This section applies universally across both our waitlist web presence and our mobile app.

3.1 Absolute Prohibitions: No Ads, No Selling, No Commercial Exploitation

In strict alignment with user well-being, our business model enforces a non-negotiable charter:

• No Commercial Exploitation: Zero advertisements will ever be displayed anywhere within the user experience or web presence.
• Absolute Data Sovereignty: PhonePact LLC does not sell, rent, lease, trade, or commercially exploit your personal data to any third-party data brokers, advertising networks, corporate affiliates, or partners under any circumstances.

3.2 Mandatory Mobile SMS Privacy Disclosure

3.3 Server-Side Storage & Decentralization Architecture

[Backend database model to be finalized. This section will detail exactly where data resides (locally on the device vs. securely encrypted on a remote cloud server) prior to mobile launch.]

3.4 Data Rights & Erasing Your History

You retain absolute control over your digital identity. At any time, you can exercise the following rights:

• SMS Opt-Out: Cancel text communications immediately by replying STOP to any text message received from us.
• Complete Deletion: You can request that your email, phone number, historical survey data, and app records be completely wiped from our infrastructure by contacting info@getphonepact.com. Deletion requests are fully processed and confirmed within 30 business days.

3.5 Children’s Privacy

Our system is not designed for or targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If we discover that personal data from a child under 13 has been inadvertently recorded, it will be immediately and permanently purged from our infrastructure.

3.6 Contact Information

For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, your data rights, or our technical architecture, please contact our operational team at:

PhonePact LLC
Email: info@getphonepact.com

These terms govern your use of the PhonePact pre-launch website, waitlist, and feedback form. They do not govern the future mobile application; separate app terms will be provided before launch.

Eligibility and Accurate Information

You must be at least 13 years old to submit information through this website. You agree to provide contact information that belongs to you and not to use automated tools to abuse the forms or disrupt the site.

Waitlist and Communications

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee beta access, a launch date, product availability, pricing, or any particular feature. Email updates may be unsubscribed from at any time. SMS updates are optional and are sent only after affirmative consent; message and data rates may apply.

Product Information

Descriptions, interface previews, pricing ideas, commitments, and planned features are pre-launch concepts and may change as PhonePact is designed, tested, and reviewed. The website does not provide medical or mental-health advice.

Acceptable Use

You may not interfere with the site, submit another person’s information without authorization, attempt unauthorized access, or use the site for unlawful activity.

Intellectual Property

PhonePact’s name, original copy, graphics, and website design are owned by PhonePact LLC or used with permission. These terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Availability and Liability

The pre-launch site is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not promise uninterrupted operation or that the future product will produce a particular behavioral or health outcome. Rights that cannot legally be limited remain unaffected.

Changes and Contact

We may update these terms as the website and product evolve. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply to later use. Questions may be sent to info@getphonepact.com.

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms,” “Agreement”) carefully before using the website or joining the pre-launch waitlist operated by PhonePact LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your interaction with our web funnel and our upcoming mobile application platform. By accessing our website, interacting with our forms, or submitting your contact information, you explicitly agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are strictly prohibited from utilizing this website or joining our waitlist.

To ensure clarity for both users and developers, this document is structurally divided into Part 1: The Pre-Launch Web Funnel & Waitlist Controls, Part 2: The Mobile Application Architecture Framework, and Part 3: Global Legal Protections & Universal Corporate Clauses.

Part 1: The Pre-Launch Web Funnel & Waitlist Controls

This section governs all interactions taking place directly on our public-facing web landing pages before the mobile platform goes live.

1.1 Intent and Scope of the Waitlist

The PhonePact website serves as an informational landing page and waitlist for individuals seeking an alternative, autonomy-focused approach to screen-time regulation. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee immediate beta access, application deployment slots, or contractual rights to software delivery. Optional preference information is used to inform product development and is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

1.2 User-Certified Input Accuracy

By submitting data through our web funnel, you represent and warrant that all data you supply (including your mobile phone number and email address) is completely accurate, truthful, and belongs exclusively to you. You are strictly prohibited from inputting numbers or emails belonging to third parties or utilizing automated web scraping scripts, bots, or sybil-attack vectors to artificially inflate our waitlist registry.

Part 2: The Mobile Application Architecture Framework

This section outlines the operational constraints, community rules, and technical boundaries governing our upcoming application software.

2.1 The Covenant Sequence & User Pledges

Before entering any accountability peer group (“Circle”), you must execute a mandatory, irreversible three-step onboarding covenant designed to establish distinct self-regulatory intent:

• Target Goal Selection: You must utilize our custom visual arc/dial module to explicitly choose your targeted daily maximum screentime allocation.
• Statement of Intent (The Pledge): You must provide a clear textual justification detailing your objective, bound strictly to a 280-character maximum ceiling.
• The Covenant Signature: You must physically sketch your signature or handwritten legal marker directly onto your device’s capacitive screen matrix using a fingertip interface. You acknowledge that this asset is rasterized and permanently bound to your user profile card inside that specific accountability cluster.

2.2 Core Mobile Tracking & System Overrides

[Precise programmatic execution frameworks for tracking background usage to be finalized prior to mobile launch.]

System Override Interventions: You explicitly acknowledge and consent to the application’s core loop behavior, which utilizes system-level modal overlays that forcefully command temporary visual focus over active applications when specific milestone thresholds are breached.

2.3 Peer-to-Peer Interactivity & Conditional Privacy

By entering into an Accountability Circle, you explicitly consent to the following sociological looking-glass mechanisms and public tracking rules within your group:

• Roster Attributes: Your user name, profile picture, personal daily screen time goal, and written overage justifications are permanently displayed to all active circle participants.
• The Conditional Privacy Restriction: High-precision, real-time incremental usage updates are completely masked from peers while you track beneath your target thresholds. Peer usage details reveal themselves automatically if and when you breach your target goal metric for the day.
• Overage Broadcasts: The instant your goal metric is completed, you must choose to provide an explanation or allow an automated milestone notification to broadcast directly to the group members’ phone notifications and chatroom feeds after a five-minute grace period.
• The 24-Hour Ephemeral Rule: All messages, system alerts, request cards, and chat artifacts processed in the “Room” are subject to an aggressive maintenance script that permanently purges and deletes all local and server-side records exactly 24 hours after creation. No historic logs can or will be recovered.

2.4 Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Adjustments

You cannot modify your core tracking parameters, alter daily targets, or exclude specific applications (e.g., FaceTime, Spotify, Slack) silently. Any modification request requires selecting a peer verification partner, defining a temporary or permanent temporal duration, logging a written structural justification, and receiving a formal digital “Agree” verification from your peer partner on their home dashboard.

2.5 Financial Architecture, Pricing, and The 30-Day Decision Block

[Primary payment processing vendor and gateway interface details to be finalized prior to mobile launch.]

• The Month 1 Experiment: Any user can download PhonePact and create or join circles completely free without entering payment or credit card details for the first 30 days.
• The Day 30 Choice: At exactly 12:00 AM on the 30th day, the application freezes normal execution loops and displays a full-screen questionnaire block asking if you have noticed a change in your relationship with your screen.
• The “Step Away Gently” Clause: If you choose “No” on the questionnaire, your account structure, circle associations, covenant signatures, and metrics are instantly and permanently deleted from our servers with zero historical records or backups retained. If you choose “Yes,” you commit to a $1/month subscription tier to maintain active circle operations.
• Price Stability: PhonePact LLC commits that the baseline $1 subscription price for paying users will never increase, though options to voluntarily pay more will exist within the application.

Part 3: Global Legal Protections & Universal Clauses

This section outlines intellectual property, corporate liabilities, and dispute resolution frameworks protecting PhonePact LLC.

3.1 Intellectual Property Sovereignty

The visual assets, core architectural loops, the paper-minimalist user interface design (featuring Deep Organic Green on Ancient Pearl with custom serif typography), the visual arc/dial pact tools, the custom hand-signed covenant sequence, and all copy strings, logos, and branding elements are the exclusive intellectual property of PhonePact LLC. You may not reverse-engineer, copy, scrape, mimic, or redistribute our functional frameworks, software concepts, or design aesthetics for commercial use.

3.2 Non-Negotiable Philanthropic Allocation Charter

PhonePact LLC operates under a strict humanitarian alignment charter:

• No Commercial Exploitation: Zero advertisements will ever be displayed within the user experience or web presence under any circumstances.
• Philanthropic Routing: Exactly 10% of gross operational profits are automatically routed to verified, high-impact humanitarian aid charities of the Company’s choosing.

3.3 Severability and Decentralization Status

[Server architecture and local storage model to be finalized prior to mobile launch. Due to our intentional privacy protections (including the 24-hour purge and Day 30 trial erasure), if your data is deleted by the system or upon your explicit request, PhonePact LLC cannot recover it for you under any circumstances.]

3.4 Disclaimer of Warranties

THE WEBSITE, WAITLIST, AND UPCOMING APPLICATION SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. PHONEPACT LLC EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL REPAIR BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS OR REPAIR PHONE USE DEPENDENCIES UNILATERALLY. SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIORAL FREEDOM ULTIMATELY DEPENDS UPON USER INTENT AND COLLABORATIVE ENGAGEMENT.

3.5 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PHONEPACT LLC, ITS FOUNDERS, EMPLOYEES, OPERATIONS MANAGERS, OR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, DEVICE DOWNTIME, OPERATIONAL INTERRUPTIONS, OR PERSONAL FRUSTRATION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, THE WAITLIST FORM, PEER GROUP CHAT ATTRIBUTES, SYSTEM OVERLAY OVERRIDES, OR MOBILE APP INTERFACES.

3.6 Governing Law & Mandatory Binding Arbitration

These Terms of Service and any operational disputes arising between you and PhonePact LLC shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (or your registered corporate jurisdiction), without regard to its conflict of law principles.

ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONFLICT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN A COURT OF LAW. YOU EXPLICITLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES AGAINST PHONEPACT LLC.

3.7 Contact, Support, and Legal Inquiries

All official legal notices, technical support tickets, feedback forms, and inquiries regarding data deletion or administrative operations must be directed exclusively to our operational team at:
