Terms &
Privacy
Privacy Policy
Sero does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The app runs entirely on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No servers. Nothing leaves your iPhone.
What we collect
Nothing. Sero does not collect any information about you, your device, or how you use the app — no names, email addresses, device identifiers, IP addresses, usage data, crash reports, or any other form of information.
How the app works
Sero uses Apple's Screen Time API to restrict access to apps you choose. All configuration — blocked apps, time limits, schedules — is stored locally on your device using iOS system storage. No data is ever sent to external servers because we don't operate any servers for the app's core functionality.
Third-party services
Sero does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs. The App Store is operated by Apple and subject to Apple's own privacy policy, which governs the download process independently.
Children's privacy
Sero is rated 9+ on the App Store. Because we collect no data whatsoever, there is no data collected from users of any age, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change our data practices, we will update this page and revise the effective date. Any material change that involves data collection will be communicated through an App Store update note. As long as this page states "Zero data collected," nothing about you is being processed.
Terms of Use
By downloading or using Sero, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Use of the app
Sero is designed to help you limit access to distracting apps using Apple's Screen Time API. You agree to use Sero only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You may not use Sero to restrict apps on devices you do not own or control without authorization.
No warranty
Sero is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that it will meet your specific requirements. App blocking functionality depends on Apple's Screen Time framework and may be affected by iOS updates.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Almaz Kussainov shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use Sero. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the app.
Intellectual property
The Sero name, logo, and all related content are the property of Almaz Kussainov. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.
Changes to terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will communicate material changes through App Store update notes.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan. If you are a resident of the European Union, the laws of your country of residence may also apply.
App License (EULA)
Apps made available through the App Store are licensed, not sold, to you. Your license to Sero is subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement ("Standard EULA").
Scope of license
We grant you a non-transferable license to use Sero on any Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules. You may not distribute or make the app available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices simultaneously. You may not reverse-engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of Sero.
Consent to use of data
As described in our Privacy Policy above, Sero does not collect personal data. No technical data is transmitted from your device to our servers in connection with the app's core functionality.
Termination
This license is effective until terminated. Your rights under this license will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the app and delete it from your devices.
