Owl Guard AI Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Screenshots stay on this device
Owl Guard AI analyzes sampled screen images and text locally during a visible, user-authorized system broadcast. Qualifying screenshots and results are kept in its local evidence library. Images are not uploaded, emailed, synced across devices, exported or saved to Photos. No Owl Guard AI registration is required.
Local storage and controls
Evidence is excluded from backups, uses iOS file protection, and has a 200 MiB capacity limit. Retention defaults to 30 days, with 7 days or manual deletion available. Expiry cleanup happens on later access or a sample write. Score history keeps at most 100 records for 7 days. The app lets you delete evidence after device authentication; clearing scores alone does not delete images.
Device authentication
Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode protects evidence viewing and deletion. The app receives an authentication result, not biometric templates. Anyone who can authenticate as the device user can access evidence; this does not establish a separate parent identity.
Optional local alerts (Beta)
Alerts are optional and off by default for new users. Notifications use generic text without evidence images or extracted text. Delivery may be missed or delayed. Evidence review works with alerts disabled.
Apple purchases
Apple handles payments and purchase restoration. Owl Guard AI verifies transactions on the device and stores local access status and trial timing. Screen content is not sent with a purchase. The seven-day trial does not renew or charge automatically. Full access is a separate one-time purchase; Family Sharing shares access, not evidence.
Data collection
The current app has no advertising, tracking or third-party analytics SDK, and no developer-run data-upload service. Apple may process data for its own App Store and operating-system services under Apple policies.
Your private media
Captured evidence can include sensitive content from other apps. Recording is explicitly started by the device user. You can choose monitored categories, stop broadcasting, choose retention and delete evidence inside the app.
Contact
Contact support@ideaspike.com for support or privacy questions. Do not send private screenshots.
This website and support email
These public pages are hosted on GitHub Pages. The hosting provider processes normal web requests, which can include an IP address and browser information. These pages do not use advertising or analytics tools. If you email support, we use the message and your email address to respond through our email provider. Do not include private screenshots, passwords or payment details. This optional website or email interaction is separate from the app’s local screenshot processing.
