Privacy Policy
1. Processing of Technical App Data
QuantumBlock is designed to operate primarily on your device. All core blocking and enforcement logic is executed locally and does not require a backend server operated by the developer.
However, the app uses Firebase services provided by Google LLC for the following purposes:
- Stability monitoring (Crashlytics)
- Aggregated usage statistics (Firebase Analytics)
The collected data is limited to technical and usage-related information such as:
- Device type and operating system version
- App version
- Crash stack traces
- General usage events
No personal content, no blocked apps, no websites, and no user-defined rules are collected or transmitted.
2. Use of Accessibility Service
QuantumBlock uses the Android Accessibility Service API to provide certain features. The Accessibility Service is used exclusively to:

- Block access to apps or websites you have defined in your blocklist
The Accessibility Service is NOT used to:
- Read inputs such as keystrokes
- Read content displayed inside other apps
- Capture or process sensitive or personal data

All processing takes place solely on your device.
