1. Information We Collect

Niva is designed with privacy as a core principle. The app operates locally on your device and collects the following information solely for the purpose of providing screen time management functionality:

• Screen Time Data: Information about your app usage, including which apps you use and for how long
• Total Screen Time: Aggregate data about your daily and weekly screen time

• Help you manage and limit your app usage
• Enable the app closing feature when you reach your set time limits

3. Permissions Required

To function properly, Niva requires the following permissions:

• Screen Time Permission: Required to monitor and track your app usage and screen time data

These permissions are essential for the core functionality of Niva. Without these permissions, the app cannot provide its intended screen time management features.
