Your accountability partner protects you — they don't watch you.
The plain-English version of how GuardianBlock handles your data: what we collect, what your accountability partner can see, and what nobody ever sees — no legalese.
What we promise about your data.
These commitments govern how GuardianBlock collects and handles information.
- 01
Data minimization
We collect only what protection and accountability require — nothing more, by default.
- 02
No selling data
We never sell or rent your personal data, and we don't run ad trackers in the app.
- 03
No browsing feed
There is no history of visited sites sent to your accountability partner or stored as a profile.
- 04
Network-safe by design
GuardianBlock is designed not to alter DNS, hosts, VPN, firewall, proxy, routes, adapters, SMB mappings, mapped drives, WSL mounts, or work-network configuration.
- 05
Encrypted in transit
Account and device-health data is sent over encrypted connections.
- 06
You can leave
Ask your accountability partner to release the key, then export or delete your account data.
What your partner sees — and what stays sealed.
Accountability needs a few honest signals, not a record of your day.
What your accountability 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.
Designed not to alter your network or work setup.
GuardianBlock is designed not to alter DNS, hosts, VPN, firewall, proxy, routes, adapters, SMB mappings, mapped drives, WSL mounts, or work-network configuration. The no-DNS/VPN/firewall trust page explains the evidence gate. 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.
