Privacy Policy — On Guard

This Privacy Policy explains how On Guard ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our digital discipline and privacy protection service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide the Service: account info (email, username) and anonymized usage statistics. We do not collect your browsing history, personal content, or digital habits.

2. Local Processing

AI content detection, blocking decisions, and personal data analysis occur entirely on your device. No personal content or browsing data is transmitted to our servers.

3. Data Storage

Your personal data and digital habits are stored locally on your device only. Any account data we store is limited to basic account info necessary for service access.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or disclose your personal information to third parties. The only exception is anonymized usage statistics used to improve the Service.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures. Since most processing occurs locally, you remain responsible for the security of your device and local data.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete your account information. See our data deletion page.

7. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for basic website functionality and account management. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics that collect personal info.

8. Third-Party Services

Purchases are handled inside the On Guard apps through RevenueCat, our billing platform: on iPhone and Android via App Store or Google Play billing, and on desktop via RevenueCat Web Billing, a hosted checkout whose payments are processed by Stripe. This website never collects or processes payment details. We also use Firebase Authentication for sign-in. These services have their own privacy policies and do not have access to your personal content or browsing data.

9. SMS / Text Messaging

On Guard offers an opt-in SMS accountability program. If you become an ally for an On Guard member, you may receive ally check-in text messages at the mobile number you verify. These texts only prompt you to check in with the member; they never include images, URLs, browsing history, or any detail of what the member was doing.

Consent. You opt in by verifying your mobile number and confirming acceptance on the ally invitation page. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.
Message frequency. Varies, up to 3 messages a day.
Rates. Message and data rates may apply.
Opt out. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help at any time. You can also withdraw consent in the product.

We do not sell or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information with third parties for marketing purposes. Phone numbers are used solely to operate the accountability messaging you opted into, and are processed by our SMS provider (Twilio) only to deliver those messages. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing.

10. Data Retention

We retain account information only as long as necessary to provide the Service. Local data on your device is retained until you delete it or uninstall the Service.

11. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

12. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. We'll notify you of material changes.
