Blocked — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 July 2026
This privacy policy covers how Blocked - the iOS app (“we, "our”) uses your data.
Topics:
What data do we collect?
- Blocked does not directly collect any information that identifies you personally, such as your name or email. However, Blocked integrates with third-party services, including RevenueCat, Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics.
App User ID (pseudonymous)
- Blocked generates a randomly created App User ID the first time you launch the app.
- This ID is stored locally and in your iCloud Key-Value Store, allowing it to sync across your Apple devices. This ID is used to validate your purchase.
- This app user ID is not linked to your real-world identity, is not shared with third parties for advertising, and is only used for the stated purposes.
RevenueCat (purchase validation)
- Blocked uses RevenueCat to manage purchases. RevenueCat associates your App User ID with your purchases so your purchases can be validated across your devices.
- RevenueCat may also collect:
- Your subscription status
- Apple purchase receipts
- Product identifiers (i.e. annual vs monthly)
- Your purchase history
- For more details on the data RevenueCat collects and how it handles it, please refer to RevenueCat's privacy policy at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/.
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics(usage, error & crash reports)
- Blocked uses Firebase (provided by Google) to collect app usage analytics, errors, and crash reports.
- These services generate a pseudonymous identifier to distinguish one installation of the app from another. This identifier is used only for analytics purposes and is not linked to your real-world identity.
- The data collected may include:
- App usage events (e.g. which features are used)
- Device information (e.g. the device model)
- Crash logs and error reports
- This information is not linked to your personal identity.
- You can disable this collection of analytics and crash data at any time by switching “Enable Analytics” off in the app settings.
How do we collect your data?
- When you initiate a purchase, RevenueCat collects transaction-related data directly from the App Store using the App Store receipt, which is then associated with your App User ID to ensure access to the services you purchased.
- Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics automatically collect usage, error, and crash data while you use the app. This collection only occurs if analytics are enabled in the app’s settings.
How will we use your data?
- Your App User ID is used to:
- Identify your purchases with RevenueCat, which in turn uses it to:
- Validate your purchase
- Determine your entitlement status.
- Restore purchases across devices linked to your Apple ID.
- Usage, error and crash data collected by Firebase is used to:
- Improve app stability and performance.
- Identify and fix bugs or errors.
- Understand feature usage and improve the app experience.
How do we store your data?
- Your App User ID is stored on your device and in your iCloud Key-Value Store.
- All purchase data is handled and stored by RevenueCat in accordance with their privacy practices. https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/.
- Analytics, error and crash data is handled and stored by Google (Firebase) in accordance with their privacy practices: Google privacy policy.
Your data protection rights
- You have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete your data. You may also have the right to restrict or object to certain types of processing, and to request data portability.
- Because Blocked does not collect names, emails, or other personal identifiers, we can only act on requests if you provide your App User ID (available in the app’s settings).
- For purchase data (handled via RevenueCat), we will process your request as the data controller and may coordinate with RevenueCat as our processor.
- For analytics and crash data collected by Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics using pseudonymous identifiers generated by those services; Blocked does not associate these identifiers with your App User ID or other information that identifies you. So, we may not be able to identify or delete analytics data relating to a particular installation. However, you can prevent future analytics and crash data from being collected at any time by turning off “Enable Analytics” in the app's settings.

- Blocked may contain links to other sites. Our privacy policy applies only to our app. If you click on a link to another website, please read their privacy policy.

- We regularly review and update our privacy policy when needed, posting any changes on this site. This privacy policy was last updated on 21 July 2026.
