Your privacy is the whole point.

Privacy summary

PornAlert is a productivity, content protection, and accountability tool. It is designed to detect restricted content and bypass attempts without collecting a profile of you. Most protection checks are performed on your device, and temporary screen or app context used for detection is discarded after the check is complete.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how the PornAlert mobile application ("PornAlert", the "App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you install and use it on your Android device. PornAlert is published by Abhin Shah, based in India.

By installing or using PornAlert, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. What we don't collect or sell

This section comes first because it matters most. We understand many people use PornAlert for private reasons such as recovery, accountability, parenting, or focus. PornAlert does not collect, store, transmit, sell, rent, or trade:

• Your browsing history or the URLs you visit.
• Passwords, payment details, messages, chats, photos, files, contacts, or personal content.
• Screenshots, screen recordings, or copies of what appears on your screen.
• The exact adult keywords, pages, searches, or restricted content that triggered a block.
• Your name, email address, phone number, precise location, or contact list.
• Personal content for advertising, profiling, model training, or resale.

We do not require account creation. We do not maintain user profiles. PornAlert does not operate a backend service that stores your browsing or protection activity.

3. Current app features covered by this policy

PornAlert includes the following protection and app-management features:

• Accessibility Service: enables real-time detection and intervention when you explicitly turn it on.
• Content Protection: detects pornography, adult, and restricted content using local rules where possible.
• Browser Protection: monitors supported web browsers and in-app browsers for restricted searches or pages.
• Restricted Apps: lets you choose which apps receive adult and restricted content monitoring.
• Focus Lock: temporarily blocks access until the selected timer ends, unless an emergency exit flow is completed.
• Network Protection: detects VPN, Proxy, and Private DNS bypass attempts for selected apps.
• DNS Protection: helps you configure family-safe Private DNS and monitor if DNS settings are changed or bypassed.
• Prevent App Uninstall: uses Android device-admin and Accessibility-supported checks to help prevent removal when enabled.
• Prevent Reboot: detects reboot or restart attempts and displays the protection flow when enabled.
• Google Play Billing: manages subscriptions and premium entitlement.
• Google AdMob: displays ads for free users only.
• Google UMP Consent: collects legally required ad-consent choices where applicable.
• Firebase Crashlytics: collects crash diagnostics to help fix stability issues.
• Firebase Remote Config: controls limited app configuration such as ad strategy and force-update behavior.
• Firebase Firestore: stores child-protection waitlist submissions when you choose to join the waitlist.
• Google Play In-App Review: may show Google Play review prompts.
• Google Play In-App Updates: may prompt you to update the App through Google Play.

Premium features are the ad-free experience, Prevent App Uninstall, Prevent Reboot, and Network Protection. DNS Protection is available to all users.

4. Accessibility Service disclosure

When enabled, the Accessibility Service may technically allow the App to observe visible text, app and browser context, screen transitions, and user-interface events. PornAlert uses this access only to apply protection rules you enabled. Processing happens locally whenever possible. Matching information is used for the current check and is not stored as browsing history or sold to anyone. The App may store a limited local blocked-event record, such as package name, reason, and time, so the Activity screen can show recent protection events.

We do not use the Accessibility Service to:

• Record, upload, store, or sell your screen content, browsing history, messages, or personal content.
• Read passwords, payment details, private messages, photos, files, or contacts.
• Build advertising profiles or share blocked keywords, browsing activity, or app activity with advertisers.
• Train machine-learning models using your screen content.

You can disable Accessibility Service access at any time from Android Settings > Accessibility > PornAlert. If you disable it, features that depend on Accessibility may stop working. PornAlert also shows an in-app prominent disclosure and consent screen before you enable this permission.

5. Information the App processes

The App uses the following information only as needed to provide protection and app functionality:

6. How we use information

• To detect and block adult, pornographic, or restricted content according to your settings.
• To provide Browser Protection and In-App Browser Search Protection for supported browsers.
• To apply Restricted Apps monitoring only to apps you select for that feature.
• To run Focus Lock and temporarily block access until the timer ends.
• To detect VPN, Proxy, and Private DNS bypass attempts for selected apps when Network Protection is enabled.
• To detect whether supported family-safe Private DNS is active and whether DNS settings changed when monitoring is enabled.
• To support Prevent App Uninstall and Prevent Reboot when those premium features are enabled.
• To show recent blocked activity in the local Activity screen.
• To request Display over other apps permission for Focus Lock calming overlays and protection surfaces.
• To remember app settings, permission states, and protection preferences on your device.
• To enable, restore, and manage premium features through Google Play Billing.
• To show Google AdMob ads to free users and manage ad consent through Google UMP where required.
• To collect crash diagnostics through Firebase Crashlytics and improve app stability.
• To fetch limited configuration through Firebase Remote Config, including ad strategy and update behavior.
• To save your child-protection waitlist name and email in Firebase Firestore if you submit the waitlist form.
• To show Google Play In-App Review prompts and Google Play In-App Updates when appropriate.
• To respond when you contact support or exercise privacy rights.

7. Third-party services

The App uses the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Google AdMob: shows ads to free-version users and measures ad performance. It may process device information, the Android Advertising ID (AAID), approximate location from IP, ad impressions, and ad interactions.
• Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): presents and stores ad-consent choices where required by law.
• Google Play Billing: processes subscriptions and restores premium access. We never receive or store payment-card details.
• Firebase Crashlytics: collects crash reports and diagnostics so we can investigate stability issues. Crash reports may include device model, OS version, app version, stack traces, and a temporary installation identifier.
• Firebase Remote Config: fetches limited app configuration, including ad strategy and force-update settings. PornAlert does not use Remote Config to collect browsing history or blocked-content activity.
• Firebase Firestore: stores voluntary Child Protection waitlist submissions, including the name and email you enter and a submission timestamp.
• Google Play In-App Review: lets you submit reviews through Google Play.
• Google Play In-App Updates: helps notify you about available updates and, when applicable, required updates.

8. Ads and personalized advertising

Free users may see banner, interstitial, app-open, or other Google AdMob ads. Premium users never see ads in PornAlert while their premium entitlement is active. Ads served in PornAlert are general-audience ads and must not contain adult content.

Google AdMob may process device information, the Android Advertising ID (AAID), approximate location derived from IP address, ad impressions, and ad interactions to deliver and measure ads. Depending on your settings and applicable law, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions where required, PornAlert uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to collect and manage consent choices before serving personalized ads. You can change your consent choice inside the App where available.

9. Subscriptions and Google Play Billing

PornAlert offers optional premium features through subscriptions processed by Google Play Billing. Premium features are: an ad-free experience, Prevent App Uninstall, Prevent Reboot, and Network Protection. DNS Protection is available to all users and does not require premium access.

Google may process purchase identifiers, order details, subscription status, and payment information under Google Play's terms. We never receive or store your full payment-card number. The App uses subscription status only to enable, disable, restore, or manage premium features.

10. Data storage, retention, and deletion

PornAlert does not require account creation. Your settings, selected apps, protection preferences, and local app state are stored on your device and remain there until you change them, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.

You can delete locally stored App data at any time by:

• Resetting individual settings or toggles inside the App.
• Clearing the App's storage in Android Settings > Apps > PornAlert > Storage.
• Uninstalling the App to remove locally stored data from your device.

Ad data and consent data processed by Google AdMob and Google UMP are retained according to Google's policies and your consent choices. Crash diagnostics are retained according to Firebase Crashlytics settings and Google's Firebase policies. Remote Config fetch data is handled by Firebase Remote Config. Purchase records are handled by Google Play Billing under Google Play's policies. Waitlist submissions are retained until they are no longer needed to notify users about Child Protection or until you request deletion where applicable. Support emails are retained as long as needed to respond to you and comply with legal obligations.

For privacy questions or to request deletion of any data we may hold, such as a support email exchange, contact app.pb@justcodenow.com. We will respond to verifiable requests within 30 days unless a different period is required by applicable law.

11. Sharing of information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share limited information only when necessary:

• With Google AdMob, Google UMP, Google Play Billing, Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Remote Config, Firebase Firestore, Google Play In-App Review, and Google Play In-App Updates to deliver the services described in this policy.
• With your email provider and our support inbox if you contact us.
• When required by law, court order, or other valid legal process.
• To protect our rights, safety, property, users, or the public where legally permitted.
• In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, with notice where required.

12. Security

PornAlert intentionally limits data collection and keeps protection processing local whenever possible. We rely on Android platform protections, local app storage controls, and the security practices of Google services used for ads, consent, billing, crash diagnostics, remote configuration, waitlist storage, reviews, and updates. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Your choices and controls

• Enable or disable Accessibility Service access from Android Settings.
• Enable or disable Display over other apps permission from Android Settings for Focus Lock overlays.
• Choose which apps are included in Restricted Apps monitoring.
• Turn Browser Protection, In-App Browser protection, Instagram, YouTube, Focus Lock, DNS Monitoring, and other protection settings on or off inside the App where available.
• Configure or change Private DNS in Android settings. PornAlert can detect and respond to DNS changes when monitoring is enabled, but Android does not allow third-party apps to truly prevent Private DNS changes.
• Manage or cancel premium subscriptions in your Google Play account.
• Manage consent choices where UMP consent controls are available.
• Reset your Advertising ID or change ad personalization in your device settings.
• Clear App storage or uninstall the App to remove local data from your device.

14. Children's privacy

PornAlert is designed to protect children when installed and configured by parents or guardians. The App itself is not directed to children under the age of digital consent in their region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

15. International transfers

The third-party services used by the App are operated by Google and may process information outside your country, including in the United States. If you contact support, your message may also be processed by email service providers outside your country. These transfers are subject to the protections offered by those services and applicable law.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the App, Google Play, or other appropriate channels as required by law or platform policy.

17. Regional rights and disclosures
