Paxio ("we," "us," "the app") is a parental control app that helps a parent manage a child's Android device — screen time, app blocking, and content filtering. This policy explains what data Paxio collects, why, and where it goes. Paxio is installed and configured by a parent or guardian; it does not create a separate account for the child.
| Data | Purpose | Where it's stored |
|---|---|---|
| Parent email address (Google or email sign-in) | Identify the parent account and let it sign in on a new device | Firebase Authentication (Google) |
| Child profile (name, age, avatar, daily screen-time limit) | Personalize the dashboard; survive an app reinstall | Firebase Firestore (Google), tied to the parent's account |
| Parent PIN | Protect settings from being changed by the child | Stored only as a salted PBKDF2 hash — never in plaintext — in Firestore and locally |
| App usage duration, per app | Show screen-time progress and enforce daily limits | Local database on the device only — never uploaded |
| List of blocked/allowed apps | Enforce app blocking | Local database on the device only — never uploaded |
| DNS requests (site names looked up), while content filtering is on | Block sites matching the categories a parent selected | Processed entirely on-device by a local VPN connection; never sent anywhere, not even to Paxio |
| Foreground app package name | Detect when a blocked app is opened, via Android's Accessibility API | Read in memory on-device only; not stored or transmitted |
| Crash and diagnostic reports | Find and fix bugs | Firebase Crashlytics (Google) |
Paxio does not collect location data, does not read screen content, keystrokes, messages, photos, or browsing history, and does not use advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.
We don't sell data or share it with advertisers. The data listed above is processed by Google/Firebase solely to provide sign-in, profile sync, and crash reporting for Paxio, under Google's own privacy terms.
Child profile and PIN data are kept until the parent deletes the child profile or the parent account. Local, on-device data (usage stats, app-block lists) is removed when Paxio is uninstalled. To request deletion of your account data, contact us at the address below.
Paxio is intended to be installed and configured by a parent or guardian. The child does not create an account, sign in, or provide information directly to Paxio — all settings are controlled by the parent.
Accessibility Service, Usage Access, Device Admin, and VPN are all requested with an in-app explanation before use, and are used only for the purposes described above (app blocking, screen-time tracking, uninstall protection, and content filtering, respectively).
