Privacy Policy

Our Commitment

Phone Pattern Blocker is built with privacy as a fundamental principle. We collect absolutely no personal information, track nothing about your usage, and store all data locally on your device.

Privacy Summary

No personal data collection — We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal information
No call access — The app cannot access your calls, call history, or contacts
No usage analytics — We don't track how you use the app or any behavior data
No crash reporting — We don't collect crash reports or error logs
No advertising — The app contains no ads or ad tracking
No third-party services — No data is shared with any third parties

How the App Works

Phone Pattern Blocker uses Apple's CallKit framework to provide call blocking functionality. Here's how it works:

You create blocking patterns within the app (e.g., block all calls from 212-555-XXXX)
The app generates a list of phone numbers matching your patterns
This list is stored locally in a Call Directory Extension on your device
iOS uses this local list to block matching incoming calls

All processing happens entirely on your device. Your blocking patterns and the generated phone number lists never leave your iPhone.

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores the following data locally on your device:

Your blocking patterns and rules
Your whitelist exceptions
Generated phone number lists for CallKit

This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted anywhere. If you delete the app, all data is permanently removed.

CallKit Integration

Phone Pattern Blocker integrates with iOS through CallKit's Call Directory Extension. This is an Apple-provided framework that allows apps to identify and block calls. Important privacy notes:

The app cannot see or access your incoming calls
The app cannot access your call history
The app cannot access your contacts
Blocking happens at the iOS system level, not within our app

No Analytics

Unlike most apps, Phone Pattern Blocker does not collect any analytics or diagnostics. We do not:

Track which features you use
Collect crash reports or error logs
Monitor app performance or usage patterns
Use Apple's App Analytics or any third-party analytics

Children's Privacy

Because the app collects no personal information, it is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
