AntApp Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 July 2026

AntApp is a "commitment device" for Android that helps you block or time-limit distracting apps and websites according to rules you set for yourself. This policy explains, in plain language, what data AntApp does and does not handle, where it goes, and why.

The short version: almost everything AntApp knows about your apps, your block rules, your schedules, and your usage stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere. The only data that leaves your device is what is needed to run subscriptions (through Google Play and RevenueCat) and any support message you choose to send us.

1. What data stays on your device (and never leaves it)

All of your configuration and usage data is stored locally on your device in an on-device SQLite database and in Android's app preferences storage. This includes:

• The list of apps you have chosen to block or time-limit.
• Your block rules, schedules, daily allowances, and changes-delay settings.
• Your strict-mode settings.
• Usage ledgers (how much time has been counted toward a time-limit allowance).

This data is not uploaded, synced, shared, or sold. It never leaves your device. It exists only to make the app work on your phone. When you uninstall AntApp, this local data is removed with the app.

2. Accessibility Service — what it reads and why

AntApp uses Android's Accessibility Service to enforce the blocks you configure. To do that, it reads:

• Which app is currently in the foreground, so it can tell whether an app you asked to block is open and show the block banner.
• The address (URL) bar of supported web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge), so that if you have chosen to block a specific website, AntApp can detect that address and redirect you away from it.

Important facts about this:

• This information is used only on your device, in real time, to enforce the rules you set for yourself.
• It is never transmitted off the device, never stored on a server, never logged remotely, and never sold or used for advertising.
• AntApp does not build a browsing-history profile. It looks at the current foreground app and current browser address only to decide whether to apply one of your blocks, and then it moves on.

We use the Accessibility Service strictly for this blocking functionality, in line with Google Play's Accessibility API requirements.

3. Subscriptions (Google Play + RevenueCat)

AntApp offers an optional premium subscription (the premium entitlement), available as a monthly or yearly plan with a 7-day free trial. Prices are shown in your local currency on the in-app paywall and at Google Play checkout.

• Payments are processed by Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment-card details.
• We use RevenueCat, a third-party subscription-management provider, to manage and verify entitlements. RevenueCat acts as a data processor on our behalf.

RevenueCat processes the following categories of data to keep your subscription working:

• Subscription status (trial / active / inactive) and expiry date.
• Purchase-history metadata related to your AntApp subscription.
• Standard SDK telemetry needed to operate the subscription service, such as app version and device model / OS version, and a subscription identifier.

This data is used to determine whether your subscription is active and to provide the subscription service. It is not used for advertising and is not sold.

RevenueCat handles this data under its own privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/. Google Play's handling of your purchase is governed by Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Support form (optional, user-initiated)

AntApp includes an optional in-app support form where you can send us a bug report, feature request, or other message.

• When you submit the form, the message text and the topic you selected are sent to us over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection through a relay we operate at https://relay.purware.dev/support. If the relay is unavailable, the app falls back to opening your email app to send the message to antapp@purware.dev.
• For the "emergency unlock" topic only, a device token is included so we can help with that specific request. No other personal information is attached.
• We do not attach your name, email (unless you type it into the message yourself), location, contacts, or any usage data.

This is entirely optional and only happens when you choose to send a message. Messages you send are received by the developer (purware.dev).

5. In-app review

AntApp may invite you to rate the app using the native Google Play in-app review feature. This is handled entirely by Google Play. AntApp does not receive, see, or store your review or rating; that flow is between you and Google Play.

6. Permissions and why AntApp requests them

AntApp requests several Android permissions. Each is used only for the purpose described below.

None of these permissions are used to collect data for advertising, profiling, or sale.

7. Analytics and tracking

AntApp contains no analytics, no crash reporting, and no third-party tracking SDKs. There is no Firebase, Crashlytics, Sentry, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any custom analytics endpoint. We do not track your behavior across apps or the web.

8. Who we share data with

We share data only with the service providers strictly needed to run the features above:

• Google Play Billing — to process your subscription payment.
• RevenueCat — to manage and verify your subscription (see Section 3).
• Our support relay (Cloudflare Worker at relay.purware.dev) — only when you send a support message (see Section 4).

We never sell your data, and we never use your data for advertising.

9. Children

AntApp is a self-control and productivity tool intended for adults. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Data retention and deletion

• Local data on your device (apps, block rules, schedules, usage ledgers) persists until you delete it in the app or uninstall AntApp, which permanently removes it. This data is never sent to us, so there is nothing on our servers to delete.
• Subscription and purchase records are held by our payment processors, Google Play and RevenueCat, to keep your subscription working. You can cancel or manage your subscription at any time through Google Play, and RevenueCat retains this data under its own retention policy.
• Support messages you send are received by the developer (purware.dev).

Requesting deletion of your data

To request deletion of the limited data that leaves your device — your purchase/subscription records held by RevenueCat, and any support messages you have sent us — email antapp@purware.dev with the subject line "Delete my data". We will delete the associated records and confirm once it's done, typically within 30 days. Deleting your purchase records may end any active premium entitlement, and uninstalling the app removes all remaining data stored on your device.

11. Contact

If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us:

• Developer: purware.dev
• Email: antapp@purware.dev

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
