Privacy Policy

Last updated 18 August 2026. Applies to the RelapseLock iOS app and this website.

1. Who we are

RelapseLock is an iOS app that blocks adult websites using the content restrictions built into iOS, shields apps you select during hours you set, and delays the process of turning that protection off. This policy explains what happens to information when you use it.

If anything here is unclear, email jatinlalit010@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

Nothing. We do not collect personal data. Specifically, RelapseLock has:

• No account and no sign-in. You are never asked for a name, an email address, a phone number or a password.
• No server. This version of the app has no backend. There is no endpoint for it to send data to, because none exists.
• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. No usage statistics, events or diagnostics are transmitted anywhere.
• No advertising and no trackers. No ad networks, no attribution SDKs, no third-party identifiers.
• No browsing history. The app never receives what you visit. Website blocking is enforced by iOS itself; we are not in the path of your traffic and never see it.

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing on our side to breach, subpoena, sell or lose.

3. What stays on your device

The app does store information, but all of it stays in the app's own storage on your iPhone and in its iOS app group container. That includes:

• Your streak counts, milestones and best-ever streak.
• Any slips you log, including the optional mood tag you can attach to one.
• Your answers to the setup questions, and the goal mode and weekly limit you chose.
• Your blocking schedule, your chosen disable delay and the state of any running countdown.
• The personal reason you write during setup, which the block screen shows back to you.
• Your selection of apps to shield.

This data is removed when you delete the app, and you can erase it from inside the app at any time using Delete all my data. Because wiping your data would also switch protection off, that action goes through the same disable delay as any other way of turning it off.

App selections are opaque to us

When you choose which apps to shield, iOS presents its own picker and hands the app a set of opaque tokens rather than app names or bundle identifiers. Apple designed it this way deliberately. It means we cannot tell which apps you selected, even on your own device and even if we wanted to. The tokens are meaningful only to iOS.

Screen Time access

RelapseLock asks for Screen Time (Family Controls) authorisation because it is the only way iOS permits an app to block content. That permission lets the app apply and remove shields. It does not give us your browsing history, your app usage, your messages or your screen contents, and we do not request those.

4. Payments

Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or receive your card number, billing address or Apple Account details. The app checks with Apple whether a valid subscription exists on the device and stores only that yes-or-no result locally. Apple's handling of your payment information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. Notifications

If you allow notifications, the app sends two kinds and no others: one when you reach a milestone, and one when a disable countdown finishes. These are scheduled locally on your device. There is no push server, so no notification content ever passes through us.

6. This website

This site is static HTML and CSS. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and has no forms or trackers. It loads Inter and Newsreader from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests those font files from Google's servers and Google therefore sees the request, including your IP address, as it would for any external file. Nothing else on this site is loaded from a third party.

Our hosting provider may keep standard server access logs for security and reliability. We do not use them to identify or profile visitors.

7. Children

RelapseLock is rated 17+ and is intended only for adults. It is not directed at children, and it is not intended for use by anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone — including children — because we do not collect information at all.

8. Your rights

Privacy laws such as the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to look up, hand over or erase. Your data is on your device, in your possession: you can export it or delete it from within the app without asking us.

We do not sell or share personal information, and we never have.

9. Changes to this policy

If RelapseLock ever gains a backend, an account system, sync or any form of analytics, this page changes before that feature ships, not after — and the app will ask you before anything of yours leaves the device. Material changes will be dated at the top of this page.
