CopiumPrivacy policy
Copium: Calm Screen Time, an Android app by WargXP. Effective 10 November 2026.
In short: Copium works on your phone. Your screen time, the apps and sites you use, your rules and your history stay on your phone. There is no account and no advertising. Only three small things can leave your phone: anonymous usage statistics (which you can turn off), your rough area for the weather (only if you turn it on), and a request to a site you restrict for its icon.
Who we are
Copium is made by WargXP. For any question about this policy or your data, email support@wargxp.com.
What stays on your phone
Copium is built to work without a server. These are stored only on your phone, in the app's private storage, and are never sent to us:
- your screen time, and the time you spend in each app and on each site you restrict;
- how many short videos you watch in each app;
- the apps, sites and categories you restrict, your rules and focus sessions, and when you unrestrict them;
- your rest breaks and reminder settings;
- your sparks, streaks, score and the Fluffs you unlock;
- all your settings.
Day-by-day history is kept for 90 days and then deleted automatically. Uninstalling Copium, or clearing its data in your phone's settings, deletes everything.
No account, no ads
You never create an account, and Copium never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or files. Copium has no advertising, doesn't read the advertising ID (the permission is removed from the app), and doesn't sell or share any information for advertising.
Usage statistics
To learn which parts of Copium are used and what to improve, Copium sends anonymous usage statistics through Google Analytics for Firebase, a service by Google. Copium itself reports only which of its screens are opened, by a fixed name such as "Home", "Focus", "Sparks", "App page" or "Restriction screen". It never includes the names of the apps or sites you use or restrict, your screen time, your video counts, or anything you type.
Firebase adds some technical details by itself: a random ID for this installation of the app, the app version, phone model, Android version, language, when the app is opened and for how long, and an approximate country or region worked out from your IP address. This data is sent encrypted, used only for these statistics, and processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy and the Firebase terms. Google Analytics keeps it for up to 14 months.
Usage statistics are on when you install Copium. Turn them off at any time in Settings → Your data → Share usage statistics. Turning them off stops sending and deletes the statistics still waiting on your phone.
Accessibility service
Copium uses Android's Accessibility Service for two features, and asks for your agreement on its own screen before you turn it on:
- Counting short videos. It looks at the screens of the short-video apps you choose (such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Moj and Josh) to notice when you move to the next video, and to show the pause screen when you reach your limit.
- Restricting sites. While you restrict a site, it reads the address bar of supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, Brave, Opera, DuckDuckGo and Vivaldi) to see whether that site is open, and records your time on it.
If you turn on "Hide in screenshots", it also notices the volume-down key while the floating counter is showing, so the counter can step aside when you take a screenshot. That's all it does. It doesn't listen to any other app, so payment and banking apps are never read. It never reads messages, passwords or anything you type, never stores what's on your screen, and never sends any of it off your phone. You can turn it off at any time in your phone's Accessibility settings.
Weather in Fluff's sky (optional)
If you turn on "Weather in Fluff's sky" and allow approximate location, Copium takes your phone's approximate position, rounds it to about 10 km, and asks the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway, api.met.no) for the forecast, at most once an hour. Only that rounded position is sent, together with a line naming the app (Copium and WargXP); no ID and nothing else. MET Norway receives your IP address, as any website does. Your position isn't stored by Copium. Turn this off in Settings → Fluff, or remove the location permission. Weather data: MET Norway, CC BY 4.0.
Icons of the sites you restrict
To show a restricted site with its own icon, Copium asks that site directly for its icon (for example example.com/favicon.ico) and keeps it on your phone. The site receives your IP address and a request naming Copium, as with any visit. No other service is told which sites you restrict.
Backups
Your backup file. In Settings → Your data you can export a backup file with your settings, rules, history, sparks and Fluffs. It's saved where you choose, and only you decide where it goes. Importing a file replaces what's on the phone.
Android's own backup. If backup is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may include Copium's settings and history in your device backup to your Google account, and copy them when you move to a new phone. This is handled by Android and Google, not by us, and you control it in your phone's backup settings.
Feedback
"Send feedback" in Settings opens your own email app with your message ready to send to support@wargxp.com. Nothing is sent until you send the email. We use what you write, and your email address, only to answer you and improve Copium.
Permissions
Android asks you for the permissions marked "you allow"; you can take any of them back in your phone's settings.
| Permission | Why Copium needs it |
|---|---|
| Usage access (you allow) | Your screen time, the time in each app, and which app is in front, for the numbers, reminders and restrictions |
| Accessibility (you allow) | Counting short videos and restricting sites, as explained above |
| Display over other apps (you allow) | The rest bubble, the restriction and pause screens, and the floating counter, on top of the app you're using |
| Notifications (you allow) | The live notification with your next break, and reminders |
| Approximate location (optional, you allow) | Only for the weather in Fluff's sky |
| See all installed apps | To list your apps so you can pick which to count, restrict or include, and to show their names and icons |
| Run in the background, start at boot | To keep measuring screen time and showing reminders on time, also after the phone restarts |
| Promoted notifications (Android 16) | To show the live notification as a Live Update in the status bar |
| Vibrate | A gentle vibration with reminders, if you leave it on |
| Internet | The usage statistics, the weather and site icons described above |
On some phones (such as Xiaomi) Copium also asks for that maker's own "read installed apps" permission, for the same reason as "See all installed apps".
Children
Copium is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children, and Copium doesn't collect personal information from anyone.
Your choices and rights
Almost everything Copium keeps is on your phone, so you're in control: delete it by clearing Copium's data or uninstalling it. Turn off usage statistics in Settings, and the weather or any permission at any time. We hold no account or profile about you. The usage statistics are anonymous and linked only to a random installation ID, which is reset when you turn statistics off. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access or delete data about you; email support@wargxp.com and we'll reply within 30 days.
Security
Everything Copium stores is kept in its private storage, which other apps can't read. Data that leaves your phone (statistics, weather, site icons) is sent over encrypted HTTPS connections.
Changes to this policy
If Copium starts handling information in a new way, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change.
