Where practical, data used for improvement efforts will be aggregated or de-identified.

Data Security

Protecting your information is a responsibility we take seriously.

We maintain administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Security measures may include:

  • Encrypted transmission of data

  • Secure authentication procedures

  • Access controls

  • System monitoring

  • Routine security updates

  • Limited employee access

  • Secure cloud infrastructure

Although we work diligently to protect your information, no system can guarantee absolute security.

Users also play an important role in protecting their accounts by maintaining strong passwords, securing their devices, and protecting login credentials.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide the Services

  • Maintain your account

  • Fulfill legal obligations

  • Resolve disputes

  • Enforce our agreements

  • Improve the Services

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information involved.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, unless longer retention is required by law.

Additional details regarding account deletion are described later in this Privacy Policy.

Our website and certain portions of the Services may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality and better understand how visitors interact with CTRL Anger.

These technologies may help us:

  • Verify Premium access

  • Manage renewals

  • Restore purchases

International Users

CTRL Anger is intended primarily for users located within the United States.

If you choose to access the Services from another country, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those of your country of residence.

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information regardless of where it is processed.

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Privacy is an ongoing responsibility.

As technology evolves, so do our practices.

We regularly evaluate our security measures, privacy practices, AI safeguards, and operational procedures to strengthen protections and improve transparency.

Our goal is not merely to comply with privacy laws, but to earn and maintain your trust every time you choose to use CTRL Anger.

Your Privacy Rights

We believe privacy begins with transparency and user choice. Wherever reasonably possible, CTRL Anger is designed to give you meaningful control over your personal information.

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information associated with your account.

  • Update or correct inaccurate information.

  • Request a copy of certain personal information you have provided.

  • Request deletion of your account and associated personal information.

  • Object to or limit certain processing activities where permitted by law.

  • Withdraw consent for optional features that rely on your permission.

  • Contact us with questions regarding our privacy practices.

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to verified privacy requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

To protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Managing Your Information

You can manage much of your information directly within CTRL Anger.

Depending on the features available, you may:

  • Update your profile information.

  • Edit or delete journal entries.

  • Modify notification preferences.

  • Manage subscription settings through your device's app marketplace.

  • Update account preferences.

  • Delete your account from within the application.

Some information may remain in secure backup systems for a limited period before being permanently removed, as part of our disaster recovery and security practices.

Account Deletion

We believe deleting your account should be as straightforward as creating one.

CTRL Anger provides an in-app account deletion option designed to comply with applicable marketplace requirements and applicable privacy laws.

When you request deletion of your account:

  • Your request will be processed as promptly as reasonably possible.

  • Access to your account will be discontinued.

  • Journal entries, Trigger Logs, Accountability Check-Ins, Calm Sessions, Progress Dashboard information, and other personal content associated with your account will be scheduled for deletion from our active systems.

  • Certain limited information may be retained if required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, detect fraud, or protect the security and integrity of our Services.

Once deletion has been completed, your information generally cannot be recovered.

If you maintain an active Premium subscription, deleting your CTRL Anger account does not automatically cancel your subscription through Apple App Store or Google Play. Subscription management must be completed through the applicable marketplace in accordance with its policies.

Children's Privacy

CTRL Anger is intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or used with appropriate parental or legal guardian involvement.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as promptly as practicable.

Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has provided personal information through CTRL Anger may contact us using the information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Subject to applicable law, these rights may include:

  • The right to know what categories of personal information we collect.

  • The right to request access to certain personal information.

  • The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.

  • The right to request deletion of personal information.

  • The right to obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format.

  • The right to appeal certain privacy-related decisions where applicable.

CTRL Anger does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under applicable state privacy laws.

We will not discriminate against users who exercise applicable privacy rights.

Third-Party Links

CTRL Anger may occasionally provide links to third-party websites, educational resources, or partner services for your convenience.

These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage you to review their privacy practices before providing personal information, as Dempsey Technologies is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party websites or services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect:

  • New features or functionality.

  • Changes in applicable laws or regulations.

  • Improvements to our privacy practices.

  • Operational or business changes.

  • Enhanced security measures.

When material changes are made, we will provide appropriate notice through the application, our website, email, or other reasonable means, where required by applicable law.

The "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy indicates when this version became effective.
