What is stored where
Pausely has no account, and its server keeps no record of anyone. Everything it holds is on your device, and you can erase it without asking us.
| Data | Where it lives | How to remove it |
|---|---|---|
| Rules, pause history, streak, journal, check-ins, alternatives, settings | The app's private storage on your device | Settings → Your data → Reset all data, or delete the app |
| Your app selection | Opaque Screen Time tokens in the app's private storage | Same as above; revoking Screen Time access in iOS Settings also ends every shield |
| Widget snapshot | A small file of counts and dates on your device | Removed with the reset and with the app |
| Premium entitlement | Your Apple ID (Apple) and a copy of its status on your device | Managed in your App Store settings — see below |
| What you typed into an AI reflection | Nowhere, once it has been answered. Our server stores no prompt and no reply; Google keeps inputs and outputs for up to 24 hours | Nothing to delete. Switch the feature off in Settings → AI reflection and nothing more is ever sent |
| An account, a profile, anything with your name on it | — | There is none. We never had one to delete. |
Erase it in the app
- Open Pausely and go to Settings.
- Tap Your data, then Reset all data.
- Confirm. Every pause, win, rule, journal entry and check-in is erased, the shields come down, the schedules are withdrawn, and the app starts again from setup.
Delete the app
Deleting Pausely from your device removes all of its data with it, including the Screen Time tokens, and ends every shield immediately. If the app is included in an iCloud or encrypted local backup, that copy belongs to your Apple ID and is governed by Apple's terms; we have no access to it.
Your subscription
Neither resetting data nor deleting the app cancels a subscription — it belongs to your Apple ID, not to the app. Cancel it in App Store subscription settings; it stays active until the end of the current period. Refunds are handled by Apple Support. A lifetime purchase does not renew and needs nothing cancelled.
Ask us
If you would like written confirmation that we hold nothing about you, or you believe we do, write to topsol.org@gmail.com from any address. We will reply within 30 days. Please do not send us your journal, check-ins or screenshots of them — we do not need them to answer.
