Unwrapped Privacy Policy
Unwrapped is made by Judah Adler. This policy explains what the app does with your information. Short version: Unwrapped does not collect any data. Everything stays on your iPhone.
No accounts, no servers
Unwrapped has no sign-up, no login and no backend. The app does not send anything to us or to anyone else. It contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs.
What is stored on your device
Unwrapped keeps a small amount of information on your iPhone, in a storage area shared only between Unwrapped and its own extensions (an iOS "App Group"):
- Your app choices. When you choose what to block and which apps stay open, iOS gives Unwrapped opaque Screen Time tokens. These tokens do not reveal app names or your usage to Unwrapped, and they cannot be read by anyone outside your device.
- Your sticker IDs. The random ID Unwrapped wrote to your sticker, the name you gave it, and (if the sticker reports one) its hardware serial number, so Unwrapped only accepts your own sticker.
- Your location, if you set one: the coordinates and time zone of the city you picked or of your current location, with a name such as "Near Teaneck, NJ". See "Location" below.
- Your settings. Whether you're in Israel, whether you wear tefillin on Chol Hamoed, when the lock starts, the davening time, and whether Strict Mode is on.
- Lock records. Today's unlock (when you tapped, or used a day pass), when a running emergency unlock or test lock ends, how many day passes and emergency unlocks you've used this year and month, and the days you wrapped or used a day pass, for your streak.
Deleting Unwrapped removes all of this. Settings → Reset inside the app also erases it; like other settings changes, Reset is available only while your apps are unlocked (or before you've added a sticker).
Location
Unwrapped locks your apps from a prayer time (misheyakir, by default) until sunset (shkiah), so it needs to know roughly where you are. You can pick a city from a list built into the app, which involves no location access at all, or tap "Use my current location". That asks iOS for your location once, with "While Using the App" permission, at about one-kilometre accuracy.
Your location is used only on your iPhone, to calculate prayer times. It is stored in the App Group with your other settings, never leaves your phone, and is never sent to us or anyone else. Unwrapped does not look up an address for it (that would send it to a server); the place is named after the nearest city in the built-in list. Unwrapped doesn't track your location in the background or ask for it again unless you tap the button again. You can change or replace it in Settings at any time; deleting Unwrapped removes it.
Screen Time
Unwrapped uses Apple's Screen Time API (Family Controls) with individual authorization, which you grant yourself. Unwrapped uses it only to block and unblock apps on your own device. Unwrapped cannot see your Screen Time history, which apps you use, or for how long.
NFC
Unwrapped uses NFC only to write a random ID to your own sticker and to read that sticker back when you tap it. It does not read or store data from any other NFC tag. The sticker holds a web address of the form https://wraptounwrap.com/t/<random-id> and nothing else: no name, no account, no personal data.
When your iPhone opens that address from the Lock Screen, iOS hands it directly to Unwrapped. If Unwrapped is not installed, Safari may open the wraptounwrap.com page; that page is static and does not log or keep the ID.
Shortcuts and Siri
If you use Unwrapped's Shortcuts actions ("Turn On Kosher Phone", "Unwrapped Status"), they run on your device.
Children
Unwrapped is a self-control tool for the person using the iPhone. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at https://wraptounwrap.com/privacy with a new effective date. The app will never start collecting data without saying so clearly first.
