Privacy Policy

Effective October 15, 2026 · App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected

In short: Seal does not collect any data about you. Your sessions, what you work on, your notes and your Ledger are stored only on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking.

This policy explains how the Seal app for iPhone ("Seal", "we") handles information. Seal is made by Fuzail Abdikhalikov.

Information we collect

None. Seal has no servers of its own and does not send your information to us or to anyone else. We cannot see your sessions, your notes or how you use the app.

Sessions, notes and the Ledger

• What you type as your focus, the notes you add after a session, your ratings and your session history are stored in the app on your device.
• A share card (an image of your week or year) leaves your device only when you choose to share or save it. It then goes to the app or person you pick and is handled under their own privacy policy.

Hinge and motion

On foldable iPhones, Seal reads whether the phone is closed or open to start and keep a session. On other iPhones, it uses the motion sensor and the proximity sensor to tell when the phone lies face down. This information is used live on your device and is never stored or shared.

Phone calls

During a session, Seal checks whether a phone call is ringing or in progress, so that answering a call never breaks your seal. Seal sees only that a call is happening. It cannot see who is calling, phone numbers or anything said.

Notifications

Seal's notifications (a session is done, a break is over, your daily reminder) are scheduled on your device. Nothing is sent from a server.

Purchases

Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive your name, payment details or Apple Account information. Apple's handling of your purchase is described in Apple's Privacy Policy.

Children

Seal does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Deleting your data

Delete the app to remove your sessions, notes, Ledger and settings from your device. Share cards you saved to Photos stay in Photos until you delete them there.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date.
