Privacy · Plain English

Your accountability partner protects you — they don't watch you.

GuardianBlock is accountability, not surveillance. Here's exactly what we collect, what your partner can see, and what nobody ever sees — in plain language, not legalese.

Last updated 2026.06.20 · Private beta

What your partner sees

Whether protection is healthy across devices (on / offline / needs attention).
Emergency-allow requests you explicitly send them — the site and your reason.
Accountability alerts: if protection is paused, removed, or tampered with.
Custom sites you chose to block (so they can approve a removal).

What nobody ever sees

Your browsing history or the sites you visit.
Search queries, messages, keystrokes, or screen contents.
Anything on blocked categories you never requested.
Your location, files, or activity outside GuardianBlock.
Network-safe by design

Designed not to touch your network or work setup.

GuardianBlock is built not to change your DNS, VPN, proxy, firewall, routes, network adapters, SMB, or mapped network drives. It protects the person who installs it — it isn't designed to monitor a household, an employer's network, or anyone who hasn't opted in.

How we handle data

Six commitments.

  1. 01

    Data minimization

    We collect only what protection and accountability require — nothing more, by default.

  2. 02

    No selling data

    We never sell or rent your personal data, and we don't run ad trackers in the app.

  3. 03

    No browsing feed

    There is no history of visited sites sent to your accountability partner or stored as a profile.

  4. 04

    Network-safe by design

    No DNS, VPN, proxy, firewall, route, adapter, SMB, or mapped-drive changes.

  5. 05

    Encrypted in transit

    Account and device-health data is sent over encrypted connections.

  6. 06

    You can leave

    Ask your accountability partner to release the key, then export or delete your account data.
