Rock

Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2025  ยท  App version: 1.0 and later

Short version: Rock does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything stays on your device.

1. Who We Are

Rock ("the App") is developed and distributed by Ron Yahav ("we", "us", or "our") at ronyahav.com. Questions about this policy can be sent to privacy@ronyahav.com.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

Rock does not collect, store, transmit, or share:

3. Local Storage Only

Rock stores your app selections, session history, and schedules using iOS UserDefaults in a local app group container on your device. This data is shared between the main app and its system extensions (used for blocking) but never leaves your device and is not accessible to any network service.

4. Screen Time API

Rock uses Apple's Family Controls framework and Screen Time API to apply app restrictions during your focus sessions. Rock requests authorization to manage Screen Time on your behalf. This permission is used solely to block and unblock the apps you select. Rock does not read your existing Screen Time data, usage reports, or any information about your app activity history.

5. App Selection Data

When you select apps to block, iOS provides opaque "tokens" that represent those apps. Rock stores these tokens locally to restore your selection between sessions. These tokens cannot be decoded by Rock โ€” they are handled by iOS and are never transmitted anywhere.

6. Session Logs

Rock stores a local log of your completed focus sessions (start time and duration). This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted, synced, or shared with any third party. You can view this history in the Logs tab.

7. Third-Party Services

Rock does not integrate with any third-party analytics providers, advertising networks, or cloud platforms. The App makes no network requests of any kind.

8. Apple App Store Distribution

Rock is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect usage and crash data as described in Apple's own Privacy Policy. We receive only aggregated, anonymous App Store analytics (number of downloads, territory) and have no access to individual user data through Apple's systems.

9. Children's Privacy

Rock is a productivity utility intended for general audiences. It does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). Because the App collects no data from anyone, no special measures for children's data are required.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Material changes will be communicated via an App update note on the App Store.
