Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026
Sacred Time is an app that helps you protect intentional moments — for prayer, presence, family, and what matters — by setting aside sacred windows of time and pausing selected apps or categories during those windows. This page explains what information Sacred Time uses, where it is stored, and what permissions the app requests.
Data stored on your device
Your sacred rhythms, sacred windows, app or category selections, and reflection history are stored only on your device. Sacred Time has no cloud sync, no user accounts, and no server-side database. We do not receive, store, or have access to this information.
You can delete all Sacred Time data at any time by deleting the app from your device, which removes all locally stored sacred rhythms, sacred windows, and reflection history.
Screen Time permission (iOS)
To pause apps during a sacred window, Sacred Time asks for access to Apple’s Screen Time permission (Family Controls). Apple designs this permission so that the exact apps and categories you select remain private — even from Sacred Time itself. We never see the contents of your selection; we only receive the system signals needed to apply and lift the pause you’ve chosen.
Sacred Time cannot guarantee that app blocking is unbypassable, and it cannot detect or exclude every possible emergency app. Pause, Step out, and Mark complete are always available to you and are never blocked or gated behind a premium subscription.
Sacred Time is launching first on iPhone. An Android version is in progress and will use Android’s Usage Access permission instead of Apple’s Screen Time — this works differently and offers different privacy guarantees, and this policy will be updated with the specifics before the Android version launches.
Notification permission
If you allow notifications, Sacred Time uses them to send quiet reminders about upcoming or active sacred windows. Notifications are generated on your device and are never used for marketing.
No newsletter, no email collection
Sacred Time does not collect your email address, and there is no newsletter or mailing list anywhere in the app or on this website.
No AI
Sacred Time does not use artificial intelligence anywhere in the app. Nothing you enter is processed by, or sent to, any AI service.
Purchases
Sacred Time offers an optional premium upgrade, purchased and managed entirely through the Apple App Store. Payment information is handled by Apple, not by Sacred Time; we do not collect or store your payment details. Subscription management and refunds are handled through your Apple ID account settings.
Children
Sacred Time is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because all app data stays on-device, there is no server-side data to collect in any case.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
