01 Information We Collect
When you use AppBlocker, we may collect the following categories of information depending on how you choose to use the app:
| Category | Examples | Required? |

If you use the app as a guest, no account information is collected and your data stays entirely on your device.
02 How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely to operate and improve AppBlocker:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Provide and personalise the app experience | Account info, usage data, screen time data |
| Sync your data across devices | Account info, blocking schedules |
| Process subscriptions and restore purchases | Purchase information via RevenueCat |
| Send notifications you request | Device push token |
| Fix bugs and improve performance | Crash & diagnostic data |
| Comply with legal obligations | As required by applicable law |
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
03 Screen Time & Device Data
AppBlocker uses Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls framework to help you block apps and set usage limits. This requires the Screen Time permission on your device.
Screen Time data (which apps you block, time ranges, schedules) is processed locally on your device using Apple's ScreenTime API. This data is never transmitted to our servers. We do not have access to which specific apps you block.
Your estimated screen time guess entered during onboarding is stored locally and optionally synced to your account solely to personalise your experience.
04 Third-Party Services
AppBlocker integrates with the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication & cloud database | supabase.com/privacy |
| RevenueCat | In-app purchase & subscription management | revenuecat.com/privacy |
| Google Sign-In | Optional OAuth authentication | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Sign in with Apple | Optional OAuth authentication | apple.com/legal/privacy |
These services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their data practices.
05 Data Storage & Security
Your account data is stored securely on Supabase infrastructure, which uses industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). Blocking schedules and screen time data are stored locally on your device and protected by iOS's built-in sandboxing.
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If you use Sign in with Apple with the Hide My Email option, Apple provides a private relay address. We store and use that relay address as your email — we never receive or store your real Apple ID email in that case.
06 Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
Anonymised, aggregated usage analytics (which cannot identify you) may be retained indefinitely to help us improve the app.
Local data (blocking schedules, screen time) is deleted when you uninstall the app or reset the app's data through iOS Settings.
