Pushback privacy.

Effective September 26, 2026

This policy explains how One Million Labs, Inc. (“One Million Labs”, “we”) handles information in Pushback, our iPhone app that locks the apps you choose until you earn time with push-ups.

The short version. Pushback has no accounts. The app never sends us your name, your email address, or which apps you lock. The camera counts your push-ups on your iPhone, and video is never recorded or uploaded. The app does send usage data, such as how many push-ups you did, and crash reports, tied to a random ID, not to your name or email address, so we can improve it. You can switch this off in Pushback’s Settings while you’re subscribed. We don’t sell your information or use it for advertising.

The camera

Pushback turns on the front camera only while the push-up screen is open, including the practice round during setup. It finds your body’s position in each frame on your iPhone, counts your push-ups, and discards the frame. Video is never recorded, saved, or uploaded, and no images, video, or body positions are sent to us or anyone else.

Permissions

Pushback asks for three permissions: Screen Time, to lock the apps you choose; the camera, to count push-ups; and notifications, for reminders. It never asks for your contacts, photos, microphone, location, or health data, and it doesn’t read your Screen Time usage.

What’s kept on your iPhone

  • The apps, categories, and websites you lock. iOS gives Pushback only coded tokens for them, so we can’t see which apps you chose, and they never leave your iPhone.
  • Your settings, such as how many push-ups earn how many minutes.
  • Your push-up history: when you did each set, how many push-ups, and the minutes it earned. Pushback uses it to show your streak and today’s total.
  • Reminders, which are scheduled on your iPhone. Pushback doesn’t use push notifications.

While Share anonymous usage data is on, some of your settings and push-up history are also sent, as described below. This information is included in your iPhone’s backups if you make them. Deleting Pushback deletes it from your iPhone.

Subscriptions

Apple handles payment, so we never see your name, your Apple Account, or your payment details. To know whether your subscription is active, Pushback uses RevenueCat. From the first time you open Pushback, whether or not you subscribe, RevenueCat receives:

  • A random ID created by the app.
  • The identifier iOS gives our apps on your iPhone, and device details such as your iPhone model, iOS version, app version, language, and App Store country.
  • If you subscribe or tap Restore purchases, Apple’s records of your download of Pushback and of your purchases: the plan, its price and currency, whether it began with a free trial, and when it started, renews, or ends.

RevenueCat may also pass your subscription events, such as a trial starting, a renewal, or a cancellation, to PostHog under the same random ID, with details such as the plan, its price, its dates, and Apple’s transaction IDs, and keep your current subscription status with that ID in PostHog. That way we can count subscriptions that end while the app is closed. This happens between RevenueCat and PostHog, not in the app, so the Share anonymous usage data setting doesn’t control it.

Usage data

Unless you switch off Share anonymous usage data, the app sends the following to PostHog, our analytics provider, tied to the random ID, not to your name or email address. The switch is in Pushback’s Settings, which you can open only while you’re subscribed, so setup and the subscription screen send events before you can reach it.

  • What happens in the app. Examples: the app was installed or opened, whether you allowed Screen Time access and the camera, setup was finished, a set of push-ups started, was completed, or was left early, an unlock began or ran out, or the subscription screen was shown. The app’s own subscription events are included too, such as a trial starting or a subscription ending, and so are errors, such as Screen Time access failing.
  • Counts and timings for your push-ups: how many you did, how long each set took, and the time between push-ups. Never images, video, or body positions.
  • If you tap the same spot quickly several times, that it happened, where on the screen, the kind of element you tapped, and which screen you were on.
  • Your settings: push-ups required, minutes per unlock, whether the voice coach, time-left alerts, and locks are on, how many apps, categories, and websites you locked (never which ones), whether you’re subscribed, and days since you installed the app.
  • Crash reports, and device details such as your iPhone model, screen size, iOS version, app version and build, language, time zone, and whether you’re on Wi-Fi or cellular.
  • The same random ID that RevenueCat receives, so we can see which parts of the app lead people to subscribe.

None of this includes your name, your email address, or the apps you lock. Switching the setting off stops the app from collecting anything new. Data already waiting to be sent may still go out, and a crash while the setting is off is reported only if you switch it back on. When the app opens, it may also still download PostHog’s settings and, if we use feature flags, ask PostHog for them, which sends the random ID, your time zone, and your iOS and app versions. The setting doesn’t stop the subscription events RevenueCat may send.

Who processes it

  • Apple processes App Store purchases, and Screen Time runs on your iPhone. Apple’s own privacy policy applies to both.
  • RevenueCat keeps track of your subscription status and may send subscription events to PostHog.
  • PostHog stores usage data, crash reports, and subscription events in the United States.

RevenueCat and PostHog process this information on our behalf, to provide their service to us. Like any online service, they receive the IP address your iPhone connects from, and PostHog may use it to estimate your approximate location, such as your city and country.

What we don’t do

We don’t sell your personal information or share it for advertising. We don’t track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and Pushback has no ads.

How long we keep it

What’s kept on your iPhone stays there until you delete the app. We keep usage data and crash reports only while they help us improve Pushback. Subscription records are kept for as long as they are needed for your subscription and our financial records.

Your choices and requests

  • Switch off Share anonymous usage data in Pushback’s Settings while you’re subscribed.
  • Delete Pushback to erase everything it stored on your iPhone. First turn off Lock my apps in its Settings, or tap Remove my locks if your subscription has ended. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel a subscription: here’s how to cancel.
  • To access or delete the data we received from your iPhone, write to legal@1millionlabs.com. It isn’t tied to your name or email address, so we can’t look it up by those. If you subscribed, include the order ID from Apple’s receipt email and the purchase date, and we’ll use them to find your records. Without them, we may not be able to tell which data is yours. We handle these requests wherever you live.

Children

Pushback is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If we change how Pushback handles information, we will update this page and its effective date.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent to legal@1millionlabs.com. For help with the app, see Pushback support. If you email us, we receive your email address and your message, and we use them only to reply and to keep a record of the conversation.
