​
Exclude an application

1

Open the Privacy Hub

Click the Vantic IQ menu bar icon and select Privacy Hub, or go to Preferences → Privacy Hub.
2

Go to Application Exclusions

Select Application Exclusions in the Privacy Hub.
3

Add the application

Select the app from the list or type its name. The exclusion takes effect immediately — no restart required.
Password managers, banking applications, and system credential prompts are permanently excluded and do not appear here. They cannot be re-included.

​
Set a time window exclusion

1

Open the Privacy Hub

Click the Vantic IQ menu bar icon and select Privacy Hub.
2

Go to Time Windows

Select Time Window Exclusions.
3

Define the window

Set the days and hours you want excluded. The exclusion applies from this point forward — it does not remove previously collected data from those windows.

​
Pause and resume observation

Click the Vantic IQ menu bar icon and select Pause Context Collection. The icon dims to indicate the paused state. To resume, click the menu bar icon and select Resume. Pausing does not delete data and does not affect your Friction Score history.

​
Delete your data

Open the Privacy Hub and select Purge Data. Choose the scope:
  • Last hour — removes events from the last 60 minutes
  • Last day — removes events from the last 24 hours
  • All workflow data — removes all workflow signal events
  • Delete account — removes everything, including patterns, Context Hints, audit records, and your profile
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Deleting workflow events does not automatically delete Friction Score patterns derived from them. Patterns are separate records — delete them explicitly or via account deletion.
