Family Controls Usage Data

Hi all,

For context, the Family Controls entitlement request (for the Personal Device Management category/individual use case) includes the question:

Will your app share device or usage data beyond the individual for the individual use case, or Family Sharing for the parent/guardian use case, including through means such as screenshots, screen recordings, or server logging?

I'm looking for clarification on how to interpret this. I originally answered Yes and was rejected, then later answered No and was accepted.

Ideally, I would like my screen time management app to allow users to opt-in to social features. One simple example is opting into a leaderboard with your friends for who has the lowest screen time.

If the user installed this app for themself and chooses to share this basic data with their friends, it sounds like an ethical and unproblematic feature but I suppose storing that data would fall under "server logging"?

If anyone has any experience with this, I would appreciate a more explicit description of the requirement above. Is what I described allowed?

Thanks for reading!

The data on screen time cannot be exported for privacy reasons. A leaderboard of such is not supported today.

What about Opal's leaderboard? https://www.opal.so/features
