Privacy is part of the product.

Controller and scope

Iure Labs is responsible for Seize. This policy covers the Android app (com.iurelabs.seize), including focus features, advertising, and purchases. For questions or privacy requests, email contact@iure.dev.

Seize does not require an account or ask for your name, email address, or password to use focus features. If you email us, we use your email address and message to respond to and follow up on your request.

Data used on your device

To identify productive and distracting apps and apply your rules, Seize accesses the list of installed and selected apps, the foreground app, and usage statistics provided by Android. Its accessibility service observes foreground-app changes, including while Seize is closed, to show the block screen and measure relevant use. It does not read window contents, messages, or typed text.

App selections, rules, goals, focus sessions, usage time, blocked attempts, rewards, and preferences are processed and stored locally on your device. Iure Labs does not send this information to a server to create an account, synchronize it, or sell usage profiles. Seize does not request precise location, contacts, camera, or microphone access.

Permissions and choices

Usage access and Accessibility allow foreground-app detection and blocking; overlay access displays the block interface over other apps. Notifications provide session and available-time updates. Internet access supports ads, consent, and purchases; vibration is used for alerts. Without monitoring permissions, some focus controls will not work. You can revoke permissions in Android settings.

Seize identifies banking apps and other sensitive categories to avoid inappropriate blocking. This classification stays on your device; we do not access the contents of those apps.

Ads and consent

The ad-supported version uses Google AdMob for banners and, when you choose to watch them, rewarded ads. Google's SDK may collect and share with Google your IP address (which may indicate approximate location), app and ad interactions, performance diagnostics, and device or advertising identifiers. This data may be used to serve and measure ads, for analytics, and to prevent fraud. We do not send your local focus history, selected-app list, or other screen contents to AdMob.

Where required, Google's consent form appears before ads are requested. Ad privacy options are available in the app when Google requires them; you can also manage or reset your advertising ID in Android settings. Removing ads stops new ad requests from Seize after the purchase takes effect, but does not erase data previously processed by Google.

Purchases and project support

The remove-ads purchase and support contributions are processed through Google Play Billing. Google handles payment details, financial information, and transaction history under its own policies. Seize checks purchase status and locally stores what is needed to enable ad removal; Iure Labs does not receive your full card details. Support contributions do not create a Seize account.

Purposes and legal bases

We process local usage data to provide the features you enable and perform the service you request. We process support messages to handle questions and requests. Ad-related processing follows the choices presented by Google where consent is required; otherwise, applicable legal bases and available privacy choices apply. Purchase data is needed to complete a transaction and verify the purchased benefit.

We do not use accessibility or app-usage data for personalized advertising, and we do not sell this data. Google's own practices for data received through its SDKs are described in Google's policies.

Storage, security, and retention

Seize history and preferences remain in the app's private storage while it is installed, until you delete them or uninstall the app. Android backup of app data is disabled. Traffic to Google services uses transport protection provided by those services. No storage or transmission method eliminates every risk.

Ad, consent, and purchase data received by Google follows Google's retention periods and controls. Support emails are kept as long as needed to respond, resolve the matter, and comply with any legal obligation.

Access and deletion

In Seize settings, you can use "Delete all data" to remove focus, app-selection, and usage records held by the app. Some app preferences and purchase information may remain; uninstalling Seize removes its remaining local data from the device. This does not delete usage statistics held by Android or data already processed by Google. Use Android and Google Account controls for those data.

You may request confirmation, access, correction, or deletion of data actually processed by Iure Labs, and exercise other applicable rights, using the email below. Because there is no account or focus-history sync with Iure Labs, we cannot remotely retrieve or delete records that exist only on your device.

Children and international transfers

Seize is not designed as a child-directed service. If you believe a child sent us data through support, contact us so we can assess deletion.

The Google services used for ads and purchases may process data outside Brazil under their policies and safeguards. Iure Labs does not transfer focus history stored only on your device to those services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app, its providers, or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted here with its update date; material changes will also be communicated in the app where appropriate.
