Privacy Policy
Payphone rewards verified quiet time without turning employee phones into monitoring devices. This policy explains what the service records, what employers can see, and what stays private.
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Payphone is a voluntary workplace rewards app. Employees can start a Focus session on their own iPhone, quiet distracting apps through Apple's Screen Time system, and earn rewards for verified quiet time.
Employers use Payphone to run rewards, contests, payroll review, and team reporting. Payphone is not a surveillance or employee-monitoring product.
Account information such as name, email address, employer organization, role, and join-code enrollment status.
Program information such as Focus session start and end times, verified quiet-time totals, reward calculations, leaderboard totals, pay-period status, and challenge participation.
Employer dashboard information such as team roster entries, admin invites, program settings, billing status, and payout/export records.
Basic technical information needed to operate the service, secure accounts, debug errors, and maintain reliability.
Payphone does not collect app usage, browsing history, message content, screen contents, call content, precise location, photos, contacts, or off-shift personal activity.
When Apple Screen Time selections are used on the employee's device, Payphone and the employer do not receive the names of apps the employee uses or opens.
We use information to verify Focus sessions, calculate rewards, show employees their progress, provide employer reporting, operate payroll review workflows, support team contests, prevent abuse, improve reliability, and respond to support requests.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use employee phone activity for advertising. We do not provide employers with private phone-usage details.
Employers can see privacy-safe program data such as verified quiet hours, participation, reward amounts or points, leaderboard position, challenge progress, and payout status.
Employers cannot see which apps an employee uses, messages, browsing, screen contents, location, or personal activity outside Payphone Focus sessions.
Payphone uses service providers to operate authentication, database hosting, app distribution, website hosting, payments, and support workflows. These providers process information only as needed to provide the service.
We keep account, program, reward, and payroll-review records for as long as needed to operate the service, support employers and employees, satisfy legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security.
If an employer ends use of Payphone, we can help close or delete workspace records subject to legal, accounting, security, and abuse-prevention requirements.
Employee participation is voluntary. Employees can choose whether to start or end Focus sessions. Ending a Focus session stops quiet-time verification for that session.
You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or export of personal information, subject to identity verification and legal limitations.
