Limitly: App Blocker – Privacy Policy
Introduction
At AdobixTech, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Limitly: App Blocker operates and handles your information with transparency. By using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
Limitly Free may display banner advertisements using Google AdMob. Limitly Pro does not display ads.
1. Information Collection and Usage
The app is designed with privacy as a core principle:
- No personal data collection by us: We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data on our own servers.
- Local operation: Core app blocking, schedules, and preferences are processed on your device.
- Third-party processing: In the free version, Google AdMob may process limited device and ad-related data to serve and measure ads.
- Minimal storage: Only stores what is necessary for functionality:
- Package names of apps you choose to block
- Your custom blocking schedules and preferences
This app data remains on your device and is not uploaded to our own servers.
2. PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS Permission
This permission is used strictly to:
- Monitor app usage time to enforce time‑based restrictions
- Provide usage statistics for your blocked apps
Privacy guarantees:
- No personal data collection by us: We only use app usage context needed for blocking features.
- Local processing: Usage data used by app logic is handled on-device.
- No content access: We cannot see what you do inside other apps.
3. Accessibility Service Usage
The app requires Accessibility Service permission solely for these technical functions:
- Detect when apps are launched (app identification only).
- Prevent usage of blocked apps when they are opened.
Important limitations:
- No content access: We do not read messages, emails, passwords, or any in‑app content.
- No keystroke logging: We never record keyboard input.
- No screen recording: We do not capture your screen.
- Purpose-limited use: Accessibility is used only for app-blocking functionality.
4. Billing Permission
The com.android.vending.BILLING permission is used exclusively for:
- Processing in‑app purchases and subscriptions through Google Play's secure billing system.
- Verifying purchase status to unlock premium features.
Privacy assurance:
- No payment details access: All transactions are processed by Google Play; we never see or store your payment information.
- Minimal data: We only receive purchase status/confirmation from Google Play.
5. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version of Limitly displays banner ads using Google AdMob. The Pro version does not show ads.
- Ad provider: Google AdMob (Google LLC).

6. SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW Permission
This permission is used exclusively to:
- Display the blocking interface when restricted apps are launched.
Security assurance: The overlay is used only to enforce app restrictions and cannot extract content from other apps.
7. Data Storage and Retention
The app maintains strict data handling practices:
- Storage method: Android local storage on your device.
- Data types stored:
- Your blocklist (app package names only).
- Your blocking schedules and configuration preferences.
- Automatic deletion: All app data is erased when you uninstall the app.
- No cloud storage by us: We do not sync your app data to our own servers.
8. Security Measures
We implement multiple protection layers:
- Relying on Android's sandbox security for stored app data.
- Not requesting unnecessary permissions (for example, contacts, SMS, or precise location).
- Using Accessibility and usage permissions only for their documented purposes.
9. Children’s Privacy
The app is not designed for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has used Limitly and provided personal information, please contact us.
10. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will:
- Update the “Last Updated” date associated with the policy.
- Notify users of material changes via in‑app messages where appropriate.
Continued use of Limitly after such changes means you accept the updated policy.
