Pause

Privacy & your data

Short version: Pause collects as little as possible, never sells or shares your data for advertising, and you can see or delete it at any time.

Last updated: 14 November 2026

Using Pause without an account

As a guest, everything you enter (items, prices, answers, settings) is saved only in your own browser. Nothing is sent to us. Clearing your browser data deletes it.

What we store if you sign in

  • Account: your email address and display name (from email sign-up, Google or Lovable sign-in).
  • Settings: hourly income, currency and default waiting time, if you choose to fill them in.
  • Pauses: item name, price, optional shop link, your answers to the reflection questions, and whether you bought or skipped it.

We use this only to run the app for you: syncing your list between devices and showing your savings.

Sign-in keeps you logged in by saving a session in your browser's local storage. That's needed for the app to work and isn't used for tracking.

Legal basis (GDPR)

We process your account data to provide the service you asked for (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), contract). Your income and purchase notes are only used to show you your own numbers, and only you can see them.

Who can see it

  • Only you. Every record is locked to your account.
  • We don't sell data, show ads or share it with advertisers.
  • Our hosting provider (Lovable and its cloud infrastructure) stores the data on our behalf as a data processor.

Your rights

Under GDPR you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, and object to or restrict how it's used.

  • Delete single pauses yourself in History.
  • To delete your whole account or get a copy of your data, email brugpause@proton.me. We reply within 30 days.
  • You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).

How long we keep it

As long as you have an account. When you delete it, your data is removed.
