Privacy Policy
We’re committed to safeguarding your personal data with transparent and strong privacy practices
Last updated: September 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Intent, operated by Armand RIBEIRO (“Intent”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Intent mobile application (“App”) or the Intent website (“Site”).
By using Intent, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
For privacy-related questions or requests, you may contact us at support@intentmobile.com.
Information We Collect
We are committed to protecting your privacy and collecting only the information reasonably necessary to operate, secure, synchronize, and improve Intent.
The information we collect depends on the features you use, the permissions you grant, and whether you create an Intent account.
Personal identification information
When you create an Intent account, we may collect personal information including:
First and last name
Email address
Account identifier
Information provided through Google Sign-In
Account settings and preferences
If you choose to sign in with Google, we may receive basic account information such as your name, email address, profile information, and Google account identifier, depending on the information made available through Google Sign-In.
Intent does not receive or store your Google password.
You may also voluntarily provide your email address through the Intent website to join our launch waitlist.
Waitlist information
If you join the Intent waitlist, we collect the email address you voluntarily provide.
Your waitlist email address will be used only to:
Confirm or manage your waitlist registration
Notify you when Intent becomes available
Send essential information directly related to the launch of Intent
Joining the waitlist does not automatically subscribe you to a general marketing newsletter.
We intend to use Brevo to manage waitlist emails.
You may request removal from the waitlist at any time by contacting support@intentmobile.com.
Waitlist information will be deleted when it is no longer reasonably necessary for the launch notification process.
App usage information
Intent is designed to help Users reduce distracting app usage by detecting selected application activity and applying blocking, intervention, or redirection rules.
Depending on the features you use, we may collect information including:
Applications selected as distracting apps
Applications selected as redirection destinations
App names and package identifiers
App usage events
Time and duration of selected app usage
Times at which selected apps are opened
Number of attempted app openings
Number of Intent interventions
Number of blocks or redirects
Rules created by the User
Rule schedules and activation periods
App categorization preferences
Progress statistics and streaks
Intent configuration and synchronization information
This information may be stored in our Supabase infrastructure in order to synchronize your account, rules, settings, and statistics between sessions or supported devices.
Intent does not intend to collect the content of your private messages, passwords, keyboard input, photos, personal files, emails, financial information displayed in other apps, or the private content of third-party applications.
Android permissions and device access
Certain Android permissions and system access are required for Intent to provide its core functionality.
Intent may request the following permissions or access:
Usage Access
Usage Access allows Intent to determine when selected applications are used and to generate relevant app usage statistics.
Accessibility Service
The Accessibility Service allows Intent to detect when selected applications are opened so that an active blocking or redirection rule can be applied.
Intent uses Accessibility access for its digital wellbeing, blocking, intervention, and redirection functionality.
Intent does not intend to use the Accessibility Service to collect passwords, private messages, keyboard input, financial information, or unrelated private content from other applications.
Display over other apps
This permission allows Intent to display a blocking, intervention, or redirection interface above a selected application when an active rule is triggered.
Notifications
Notification permission allows Intent to inform you about relevant events, such as when a rule becomes active, ends, changes status, or requires your attention.
You may disable notifications through your Android device settings.
Background operation
Intent may need to operate in the background so that your active rules continue to function while the Intent application itself is not open.
Alarms and reminders
Intent may use Android scheduling functionality to activate or deactivate rules at the times you have selected.
Installed application information
Intent may access limited information about applications installed on your device, including app names, icons, and package identifiers, where necessary to allow you to select distracting apps or redirection destinations.
You can revoke Android permissions through your device settings. However, disabling certain permissions may prevent some Intent features from functioning correctly.
Non-personal and technical information
We may collect limited technical information necessary to maintain, secure, diagnose, and improve Intent.
This may include:
Device type
Device model
Operating system
Operating system version
Intent application version
Language and regional settings
Crash information
Performance information
Pseudonymous identifiers
Session information
Date and time of interactions
Features used within Intent
We do not use this information to create advertising profiles.
Product analytics
Intent may use PostHog, configured using its European Union data region, to understand how Users interact with the App and to improve the product.
Analytics information may include events such as:

Features used
Rules created
Blocking or redirection events
General interaction patterns
Technical errors
Application performance information
Analytics will be configured according to data-minimization principles.
Intent does not use this information for third-party targeted advertising and does not sell analytics information to advertisers.
We do not intend to use session replay to record the content of Users' mobile screens.
Where applicable law requires consent for particular analytics technologies, such processing will only take place after the necessary consent has been obtained.
Payment information
Intent Premium subscriptions are processed through Google Play Billing.
Intent does not directly receive or store full credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or other payment credentials entered into Google Play.
Payment information required to complete the transaction is processed directly by Google under Google's own privacy terms.

Performance of a contract
Certain processing is necessary to create your account, synchronize your Intent information, execute your rules, manage Premium access, and provide the services you request.
Consent
We may rely on your consent for optional processing where required by applicable law, including certain permissions, communications, or analytics activities.
You may withdraw your consent where applicable.
Legitimate interests
We may process limited information where necessary for legitimate purposes such as securing Intent, preventing abuse, diagnosing technical problems, and improving service reliability, provided those interests do not override your applicable privacy rights.
Legal obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements, legal proceedings, or lawful requests from public authorities.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
Intent's security architecture is designed to include measures such as:
HTTPS/TLS encryption for data transmitted between the App and our servers
Secure authentication
Database access controls
Supabase Row Level Security policies
Separation of individual User data
Least-privilege database permissions
Restricted administrative access
Secure handling of API keys and credentials
Server-side storage of privileged credentials
Data minimization
Database backups
Monitoring for suspicious access
Regular dependency and security updates
No online system can guarantee absolute security.
However, we aim to use safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information processed.
Data storage
Intent may store account information, settings, rules, configurations, and synchronized usage statistics using Supabase.
Where reasonably possible, infrastructure processing information relating to European Users will be configured using European hosting regions.
Information may also be processed by service providers necessary to operate Intent, including:
Supabase
Google
Google Play
PostHog
Brevo
Framer
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Account information, User-created rules, settings, and synchronized statistics may generally be retained for as long as you maintain an Intent account.
If you delete your account, information associated with your account will be deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period, unless retention is required for legitimate security, fraud prevention, legal, accounting, or regulatory purposes.
Certain information may remain temporarily in secure backups until those backups are replaced according to normal backup cycles.
Waitlist information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide launch-related communications or until you request its removal.
Analytics information will be retained only for a period reasonably necessary to analyze and improve the product.
Sharing your personal information
We do not sell or rent Users' personal information.
We do not sell app usage information to advertisers.
We may share or otherwise make information available to third-party service providers only where necessary to operate Intent.
These service providers may include:
Supabase — authentication, databases, backend infrastructure, and synchronization
Google — Google Sign-In and related services
Google Play Billing — subscription and payment processing
PostHog — product analytics
Brevo — waitlist and launch email delivery
Framer — website hosting and website functionality
Service providers process information according to their respective contractual and privacy obligations.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order, or another lawful governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security, or safety of Intent, our Users, or others.
International data transfers
Intent is intended to be available to Users in Europe and the United States.
Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction that imposes restrictions on international transfers, we will use appropriate legal safeguards where required.
Such safeguards may include:
Adequacy decisions
Standard Contractual Clauses
Appropriate contractual safeguards
Other lawful transfer mechanisms
Where reasonably possible, we intend to favor European data regions for European User information.
Cookies
The Intent website does not currently intend to use advertising cookies or cross-site advertising tracking.
The Site or its hosting provider may use technical storage strictly necessary for website operation, security, functionality, or performance.
If Intent later introduces optional analytics cookies, advertising technologies, or other non-essential website tracking, this Privacy Policy will be updated and appropriate consent mechanisms will be implemented where required by law.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction applying similar data protection legislation, your personal data may be protected by the GDPR or applicable national legislation.
You may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent, depending on the circumstances.

Deleting an account may permanently remove synchronized rules, statistics, settings, preferences, and other information associated with that account.
Certain information may be retained where required by applicable law or for legitimate security, fraud prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes.
Children’s privacy
Intent is intended for a general audience and is not specifically designed or marketed as a service for children.
We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children in circumstances that would violate applicable child privacy or data protection laws.
Where applicable law requires consent or authorization from a parent or legal guardian before a child may provide personal information or use certain features, the required authorization must be obtained.
Age and parental-consent requirements may differ depending on the User's country or jurisdiction.
If we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child's information has been processed improperly may contact:

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the “Last updated” date at the beginning of the Policy will be revised.
Where required by law, we may also notify Users of significant changes through the App, Site, email, or another appropriate communication method.
We encourage Users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
