PactPrivacy Policy
Last updated 20 October 2026
Pact helps people quit porn by blocking adult content on their iPhone and telling a trusted accountability partner if their pact is broken. We collect as little as possible to make that work. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we never see.
What Pact never collects
- Your browsing history, the websites you visit, or what you search for. Pact's filter decides on your iPhone whether to block a search, and never sends web addresses or search terms anywhere.
- How you use other apps, your location, your contacts or your photos.
- Advertising identifiers. Pact has no ads, no tracking and no third-party analytics.
What stays on your iPhone
Your reason for making a pact, your streak history, and Pact's settings are stored only on your iPhone.
What Pact's server stores
To email your partner and notice if protection is turned off, Pact's server stores:
- Your first name, so emails to your partner say who they're about.
- Your accountability partner's name and email address, and whether they've accepted.
- Your pact's status: when each pact started, when it was broken, and whether it was broken by a slip you reported or by protection being turned off.
- Check-ins: the times your iPhone confirmed protection was on, when Pact's content filter last started, and whether that restart was expected (for example, after your phone restarted or Pact was updated).
- Invite records: which email addresses were sent an invite, and when, so invites can't be used to spam anyone.
- A random identifier for your copy of Pact. We store only a scrambled (hashed) version of it.
We use this information only to run Pact. We don't sell it, share it for advertising, or use it for anything else.
Emails to your partner
Your partner receives an invite when you add them. After they accept, Pact emails them only if your pact breaks, if Pact can't reach your iPhone for 24 hours, or if you choose a different partner. The emails never mention porn.
If you're someone's partner: we have your name and email because they gave them to us. If you don't accept the invite, you won't get any other emails. You can ask us to delete your details at any time.
Services we use
- Supabase hosts Pact's server and database, in the EU (Ireland).
- Resend sends Pact's emails.
- Cloudflare hosts this website and forwards email sent to Pact.
- Apple provides Screen Time and content filtering on your iPhone.
These companies process data on our behalf and only to provide their service to Pact.
How long we keep data
We keep your data while you use Pact. If you'd like it deleted, email hello@pactseal.app and we'll delete everything we hold about you and your partner within 30 days. Deleting the app from your iPhone removes everything stored on the phone.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you. Email hello@pactseal.app. If you're in the UK or EU, you can also complain to your data protection authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Age
Pact is for adults aged 18 and over.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app.
