Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to AdBlock ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App").

2. Data Collection and Usage

Our App is designed with a "privacy-first" approach.

No Personal Data Stored: We do not store, sell, or share your browsing history, search queries, or personal identifiers.
Local Processing: All ad-blocking and tracking protection mechanisms function locally on your device. We do not route your traffic through external VPN servers unless explicitly stated for a specific feature.
Email Breach Monitor: If you use our Breach Monitor feature, the email address you enter is sent securely to a third-party database (such as Have I Been Pwned or similar services) solely to check for public data breaches. We do not store this email address on our servers.

3. Permissions

To function correctly, the App requires certain permissions:

Network Extension / Local VPN: Required to filter traffic and block ads locally on your device. This is NOT a traditional VPN that hides your IP, but a local filter.
Push Notifications: Optional, used to alert you about new threat database updates or critical app features.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for:

Analytics: To improve app performance (e.g., crash reporting). These services collect anonymized, aggregated data that cannot trace back to you personally.
Payment Processing: All in-app purchases are processed by Apple (App Store). We do not have access to your credit card or financial information.
