Ascension App AB (organisation number 559292-7569, Sweden) is the data controller for the processing described here. Contact: support@ascensionapp.ai. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to all of our processing.
Ascension stores your activity data, including screen time, browsing activity, blocking rules, goals and reports, locally on your own computer. It is never sent to us and we have no access to it. This policy covers only the data that does reach us or our service providers.
When you activate, validate or deactivate a licence, the app sends your licence key and a randomly generated device ID to our payment provider to check that the licence is valid. This also happens each time the app starts. The ID is not derived from your hardware. Legal basis: performance of contract.
Lemon Squeezy is our merchant of record and handles payment. It gives us your purchase details, typically your email address, country, the licence purchased and its activations. We use these to provide and support the product (performance of contract), to meet Swedish accounting and EU VAT obligations (legal obligation), and to prevent licence key abuse (legitimate interest). Card numbers and billing details are handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy and never reach us.
When you contact us we process your email address and your message in order to reply. Legal basis: performance of contract and legitimate interest.
Visiting the website, downloading the installer and checking for updates creates standard server logs: IP address, browser information and timestamp. The update check itself contains no personal data. Legal basis: legitimate interest in running and securing the service.
On the website we measure which pages are visited and whether an advertisement led to a purchase, and we keep a record of how you arrived on the site (for example the campaign link or referring page). If you buy, that record is attached to your order so we can see which channels lead to sales. For visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the legal basis is consent. For other visitors it is our legitimate interest in measuring our marketing, and you can object at any time by emailing us.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for profiling or automated decision making.
The website uses Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, Microsoft Advertising to measure whether an advertisement led to a purchase, and a first-party record of how you arrived. Visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked first: no analytics or advertising cookies are set, and no arrival record is stored, until you accept. Your choice is saved in your browser and you can change it at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Microsoft's cookies last up to about 13 months, Google Analytics cookies up to 2 years, and the arrival record stays in your browser until you clear your site data.
We share personal data only with providers who help us run the service: our merchant of record and licensing provider, our website and infrastructure hosting providers, and, where you have consented or where our legitimate interest applies, our analytics and advertising measurement providers. These providers are mainly based in the United States. Those transfers are protected by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with Standard Contractual Clauses as a fallback. We may also disclose data where the law requires it, for example under a valid order from a Swedish court or authority.
Purchase and licence records are kept while your licence is active and afterwards for as long as Swedish accounting law requires, generally seven years. Records of how a purchase was referred are kept for as long as the related purchase record. Support messages are deleted once your matter is resolved. Server logs follow our providers' standard retention, typically 30 days or less.
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent you can withdraw it at any time. Legal retention duties such as accounting records may limit deletion. Email support@ascensionapp.ai; we will respond within 30 days. You can also complain to the Swedish supervisory authority, Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), at imy.se.
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the current version.
