Privacy & Transparency
I track what I need to make the product better. I never track who you are or what you're doing outside of Ration. This is non-negotiable.
| Category | What I track | What I don't track |
|---|---|---|
| App Usage | Which Ration features you use (modes, durations, settings) | Which apps or websites you block |
| Product Quality | Crash reports, error logs | Your screen content, clipboard, keystrokes |
| Retention | Whether the app was opened (DAU) | Device IDs, hardware fingerprints |
| Unlock Behavior | How often you unlock, which mode, how long | The names or URLs of what you unlocked |
| Identity | Nothing. Literally nothing. | Name, email, IP address, location, device ID |
| Personal Data | Nothing. | Browsing history, app usage outside Ration, contacts, files |
How app analytics work
Ration uses TelemetryDeck for analytics — a privacy-focused service that uses double-hashed identifiers and collects zero PII. Here's what gets sent:
-
appLaunchedBasic DAU — did you open the app today? -
unlockStartedWhich mode (windowed/metered/interrupted) and duration setting -
unlockCompleted / unlockExpiredNaturallyDid you finish early or let the timer run out? -
interceptTriggeredHow often the locked-by-default behavior fires -
appAdded / siteAddedWhether people customize their block list (count only, not names) -
