Frequently Asked Questions
No. Vigile analyzes patterns and metadata, not content. We use on-device machine learning to detect manipulation tactics without ever seeing what you're actually reading or watching. Your content stays completely private.
The content blocker runs within Safari and blocks known manipulation scripts — fake countdown timers, social proof popups, exit-intent popups, and content from clickbait networks like Taboola and Outbrain. It doesn't send any data to our servers.
During the first 7 days, Vigile learns your normal usage patterns — how fast you typically scroll, how long you spend in apps, your regular routine. This helps us detect anomalies and provide personalized protection. You're still protected during this period, just with default thresholds.
Absolutely! Apple Watch integration is optional. It adds heart rate correlation (detecting stress responses to content), but all other features work perfectly without it.
Parents receive weekly summaries showing which apps exposed their children to the most manipulation tactics. Importantly, children see the same information — we believe in transparency, not surveillance. Parents don't see content, messages, or detailed browsing history.
Yes! Go to Settings → Detection Preferences → Excluded Apps. You can whitelist specific apps where you don't want interventions. Vigile will still track them for your weekly report.
Subscriptions are managed through Apple. Go to Settings (iOS) → Your Name → Subscriptions → Vigile → Cancel. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
Open Vigile → Settings → Privacy → Delete All Data. This permanently removes all detection history, reports, and preferences from your device. If you have Family features, you'll also be removed from any family groups.
