⚙️ 2. Permissions We Use and Why

To offer core features that help users stay focused, Blockit requests the following permissions:

• Accessibility Service:
  Required to detect and block specific UI components like Shorts/Reels from apps (e.g., YouTube, Instagram).
  📌 We use this only to help block distractions. No data is read, stored, or shared.

• Usage Access:
  Required to identify which apps are running so they can be blocked if needed.

• Battery Optimization Exemption:
  Required to allow Blockit to run uninterrupted in the background for real-time blocking.

• Notification Permission:
  Used to display helpful reminders when blocking starts, ends, or focus mode is active.

• Website Blocking (via in-app browser/WebView):
  Websites are blocked using local filters. We do not collect, store, or transmit any URLs or browsing data.

👁️‍🗨️ Accessibility Service Disclosure (Google Play Compliance)

Blockit requests the Accessibility Service permission only for the following core features:

• Detecting which apps and screens are currently active to block distracting content (such as Shorts, Reels, or other specified apps).
• Automatically displaying a block overlay to help you stay focused.

What accessibility data Blockit receives:

• Limited information about which app or UI screen is in use (the app package name, some non-personal accessibility events such as window/state changes).

What Blockit does NOT access or collect:

• The app does not read, log, store, or transmit:
  • Text contents displayed on your device
  • Personal information, messages, passwords, payment details
  • Input fields, audio, or touch input

All accessibility events are processed entirely on your device and are never collected, uploaded, sold, or shared with anyone.

Granting Accessibility permission is completely optional, but some focus & blocking features will not work without it. You can continue to use other features without granting this permission.

How to revoke:

• At any time, you can disable Accessibility permission for Blockit in your device’s Android Settings under: Settings > Accessibility > Installed Services > Blockit > Disable.

Blockit strictly follows the Google Play User Data Policy for Accessibility and user privacy.
