Effective Date: 09 Jun 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Net Blocker ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects user information in connection with the mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle data. This policy complies with the Google Play Developer Policy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other applicable privacy regulations.
Net Blocker is designed to minimize data collection. We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII) directly. However, we utilize trusted third-party services that may collect limited data for specific purposes, as described below.
2.1 Analytics and Performance Monitoring
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand app usage patterns and improve performance.
Collected Data: Device model, operating system, country, session length, in-app events.
Purpose: Analyze user interaction and identify usage trends.
Privacy Policy: Firebase Privacy Policy
2.2 Crash Reporting
We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor app crashes and bugs to ensure app stability.
Collected Data: Crash logs, device information, app state at the time of crash.
Purpose: Diagnose and resolve technical issues.
Privacy Policy: Firebase Crashlytics Privacy
2.3 Advertising
We use Google AdMob to display ads in the app. Depending on your consent, ads may be personalized.
Collected Data: Advertising ID, device type, language, general location (country-level).
Purpose: Deliver personalized or contextual ads.
User Control: Users may opt out of personalized ads through device settings.
Privacy Policy: Google Ad Policies
2.4 UI Enhancement Library
We use Facebook Shimmer solely for user interface animation. It does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.
Purpose: Enhance loading UI experience.
Privacy Policy: Meta Privacy Policy
The following features operate entirely on your device and do not transmit any data to our servers or third parties:
App internet blocking via local VPN (no remote VPN servers are used).
App password protection (stored locally on your device).
Option to hide the app icon from the app drawer.
Custom VPN service naming (purely cosmetic, stored locally).
Net Blocker requests only the VPN permission to create a local VPN tunnel for blocking internet access on selected apps. We do not request or use:
Accessibility services
Device administrator access
Background location access
Any intrusive or unnecessary permissions
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties beyond what is described in Section 2. Data handled by third-party services is governed by their respective privacy policies.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Third-party providers like Firebase and AdMob use encryption, access controls, and compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO, SOC, GDPR).
Net Blocker is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that such data has been collected inadvertently, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We reserve the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted within the app or on our website, and the "Effective Date" above will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the app constitutes your agreement to the updated terms.
