πŸ” Total Privacy & Security

Unlike typical screen time trackers that upload your data ☁️, PureShield follows a strict Privacy-First approach:

The app does not request internet access β€” your data stays on your device.

πŸ“± On-Device Processing
All filtering and blocking happen locally.

πŸ‘οΈβ€πŸ—¨οΈ No Tracking
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no telemetry.

πŸš«πŸ“’ 100% Ad-Free
Enjoy a distraction-free experience with zero interruptions.

πŸ›‘οΈ ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API DISCLOSURE
To provide its core social media blocking and anti-doomscrolling capabilities, PureShield utilizes the Android AccessibilityService API.
Why we use it:
PureShield requires this permission to analyze user interface elements when you open specific social media applications. It dynamically detects if addictive short-form video formats (such as Reels or Shorts) are actively being displayed on the screen. If detected, the application interacts with the UI to close or block access to that specific section, allowing you to maintain your focus.
Data Privacy & Transmission Guarantee:
Your privacy is our absolute priority. The AccessibilityService API is used strictly for real-time, on-device UI detection. Because PureShield operates completely offline and does not possess Internet Permissions, absolutely no data, screen content, or usage history is ever collected, stored, or transmitted off your device.
