Parental Consent Statement

Effective date: to be set at publication. Published at: https://cleanmy.life/controls (the public reversibility page).

This is the page Apple's Family Controls entitlement reviewer can click through to verify reversibility and the consent flow are real and documented. It also serves as the "how to disable" page users find when they search for it.

How to control CleanMy's Screen Time enforcement

CleanMy uses Apple's Family Controls / Screen Time APIs to gate apps and grant time. This page explains exactly what we do, what your rights are, and how to disable enforcement.

What we do

When you (or, in family mode, the parent) set up CleanMy:

• You pick which apps to gate (Roblox, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, whatever matters for your household or your own focus practice).
• You set how long each cleaning task earns (typically 15-60 minutes).
• You set a daily ceiling on total earned screen time (typically 1-3 hours per day).

Once configured, the gated apps are shielded by default. When a cleaning task is completed and verified by our AI, the shields on those apps lift for the duration you set. When the duration expires, the shields re-apply automatically.

That is the entire mechanism. We do not observe which apps you use, how long you spend in them, or which apps you've been prevented from opening. We use Apple's APIs to apply and lift shields, never to observe behavior.

What we never do

• We never observe per-app usage time.
• We never log which apps you opened.
• We never share your selection of gated apps with anyone (the selection lives on-device, not on our server).
• We never sell your data, including the cleaning photos.
• We never use Apple's DeviceActivityReport framework (the API that lets apps read usage data).

How to disable CleanMy's enforcement

You have two independent paths, and both work:

Path 1: From inside CleanMy (PIN-gated)

1. Open CleanMy.
2. Tap Settings (gear icon).
3. Enter your 4-digit PIN if asked.
4. Tap Bank → Remove all limits.
5. Confirm.

All shields lift immediately. Your bank balance (the screen-time you've already earned) is preserved so you don't lose accumulated minutes if you want to re-enable later.

Path 2: From iOS Settings (Apple's revocation)

1. Open iOS Settings.
2. Tap Screen Time.
3. Tap CleanMy.
4. Tap Stop CleanMy from managing Screen Time (or similar wording depending on iOS version).
5. Confirm.

This is Apple's system-level revocation. It works whether or not CleanMy is running. CleanMy detects the revocation on next launch and shows a "Screen Time control removed; tap to re-enable" banner. Your bank balance is preserved.

Why two paths

Apple's review of Family Controls apps specifically requires that an in-app path exists and is documented. We provide both because:

• The in-app path is faster for users who know where to look.
• The iOS Settings path is the system-of-record path that Apple guarantees can never be subverted by an app.

How to revoke parental consent (family mode)

If you set up CleanMy in family mode and want to remove all of your child's data from our service:

1. On your iPhone, open CleanMy.
2. Tap Settings → Account → Delete account.
3. Confirm.

This cascades to delete the kid account paired with yours, all cleaning history, all photos, and all bank entries. The kid's device still has CleanMy installed; the child can use it in solo mode or you can re-set-up if you change your mind.

You can also email coppa@cleanmy.life to request deletion under COPPA. We respond within 7 days.

How we know you're the parent (family mode)

The parent on the parent device authenticated with Sign in with Apple, which is our verified record of the responsible adult for the child's setup. This Sign in with Apple identity, together with the per-act parent review and approval described below, is our verifiable parental consent record under the COPPA Rule (16 CFR §312.5(b)). CleanMy does not rely on Apple Family Sharing; the device pairing and the shared family pool are handled in our own backend.

A child's clean can never reach the public feed on its own. A database rule forces every child-captured post into pending review. When a child's cleaning artifact does reach the public feed, it is because the parent reviewed and approved it on the parent's own Sign in with Apple verified session; our server records that approving parent's verified identity and makes the parent the publisher of record, giving us an auditable per-act consent record.

What if I want CleanMy off my child's device entirely

You can delete CleanMy from your child's device like any iOS app:

1. Long-press the CleanMy icon on the child's home screen.
2. Tap Remove App → Delete App.
3. Confirm.

Deletion of the app does NOT automatically revoke Apple's Screen Time authorization for CleanMy. Combine deletion with the iOS Settings revocation path above to be sure no residual Screen Time configuration remains.
