Data handled only in anonymized form for analysis and to improve the service. It contains no personal identifiers such as your name, email, or the answers you type yourself, and your IP is discarded immediately during transmission.

• Target-app use — when (time and day), how long (per session and daily total), and how often (intervals and rapid repeat opens) you open the apps you've chosen
• Intervention records — your Q1·Q2·Q3 choices, how long you spend on each step, whether you switched away, and how your mood shifts within a single flow
• Phone-use context — total screen time, number of unlocks, and the times of day you're active (including late night). This is aggregate context that helps us understand your target-app use within the whole; we do not know which other apps you use.
• App settings — cooldown, number of target apps, the alternatives you've set, and so on
• Statistics nownow computes — the figures shown to you, such as switch rate, most-opened apps, and time reclaimed

The answers you type yourself in Q1·Q3 are stored on your device only and never leave it. The name you give a custom activity button, however, is collected together with its category.

Feedback you choose to send via Settings → “Send Feedback” — your message plus non-identifying info (app version, device model) — is collected anonymously to improve the app. It includes no name, email, account, or anything that identifies who sent it.

Beta participation happens through Google Play; we collect no email or name at sign-up.

To detect the moment a target app you've chosen is launched, so it can show the conscious-intervention screen.

Through the Accessibility Service, nownow does not read or collect screen content, the text you type, passwords, or messages. It only observes which app has come to the foreground.

Used only to run features you've turned on yourself, such as screen lock, and you can revoke it any time in settings.

• Display over other apps — to show the intervention screen on top of other apps
• Usage access — to read usage statistics such as total screen time (we see only totals, not which individual apps you use)
• Notifications — to send beta surveys and notices

You can revoke any permission at any time in your device settings.

The information is used to provide the conscious intervention, personal statistics for you, and to improve the service and develop AI insight features. As we develop and provide these AI features, anonymized data is processed by a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI); if we add other providers, we will reflect that on this page. Even then, no personal identifiers or the answers you type are sent.

OpenAI only processes the data on our behalf and does not use it for its own purposes (such as training its models). In this process, data may be handled outside Korea (for example, in the United States).

We do not sell information, show no ads, and use no third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

Transmission is protected with encryption (HTTPS). Anonymized server data is kept only for as long as needed for analysis and AI development, and is deleted once no longer needed.

Data on your device is removed when you uninstall. To request deletion of anonymized server data, email hello@nownowlife.com.
