What Mast keeps.

On your devices only

In your Mast account

You sign in with Google or Apple. There is no password. Your account lets your phone and computer lock together, so Mast keeps these on its servers:

Each account can read only its own records. One exception: anyone who has your account’s ID can ask whether a single lock was let out, and get a yes or no. Your computer uses this to keep bedtime without signing in.

We don’t sell any of this, use it for ads, or use it for anything but running Mast.

What your friends see

A friend is someone with a Mast account who accepted your friend request in the Mast app. When you add a friend, Mast emails them the request, or an invite to join if they aren’t on Mast yet. You can also text them from your own phone.

When you ask to be let out, your friends see your name, the lock’s name, when it ends and any note you wrote, in their Mast app and by email. They answer in the app, confirming with Face ID or a fingerprint on their own phone; Mast never receives their face or fingerprint. They also see how many friends have said yes.

Your friends are emailed if Screen Time access is turned off, if your computer misses a lock, or if you use your weekly emergency.

If you ask Mast support to let you out, the people who run Mast see your email, the lock, the minutes you asked for, and the reason and evidence you wrote.

Your location

Prayer locks need prayer times. If you allow location, your phone’s position is used. If not, Mast guesses your city from your internet address. Either way the latitude and longitude are sent to AlAdhan for the times. Location is used for nothing else.

Google user data

Mast uses Google in two ways: to sign you in, and, if you choose, to lock during events in your Google Calendar.

What Mast asks Google for.

Mast never creates, changes or deletes anything in your Google account or calendar, and never reads your email, contacts, files or anything else.

How Mast uses it. Calendar data is used only to lock your phone and computer while the events you chose are on, and to show you those events in Mast (Home, Locks, and when you pick which events lock). Mast reads events from yesterday to a few days ahead to lock, and, while you pick events, up to a few months ahead so you can see what repeats.

Where it’s kept.

Who sees it. Only you, in Mast on your own devices. Google data is never sold, never used for advertising, never shared with your friends or anyone else, and never used to train AI or machine-learning models. No person at Mast reads it, unless you ask us to for support, or the law requires it.

Removing it. Take a calendar out of your locks and the events read from it are deleted. Disconnect Google Calendar in Mast, or remove Mast’s access at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and Google’s permission and the events read with it are deleted too (after removing it at Google, the next time Mast tries to read). Deleting your Mast account deletes everything kept with it.

Mast’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

If you add a calendar by its private address instead, the same applies to the events read from that address.

Services Mast uses

Every service Mast connects to sees your internet address, as any website does. Mast has no ads, analytics or tracking tools.

Deleting your data

To delete your account and everything kept with it, open You → Account → Delete my account in the Mast app on your phone. It is deleted at once and can’t be undone. You can also email hello@usemastapp.com from the address you signed in with, and we will delete it. Deleting Mast from a device removes what it kept there.

If you are someone’s friend, your email stays in their list until they remove you or you turn the request down.

Children

Mast accounts are not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly keep their data.

Changes and questions

If this changes, the date at the top will too. Questions are welcome at hello@usemastapp.com.
