PRIVACY

Last updated: March 6, 2026

OVERVIEW

Paladin is designed with privacy as a core principle. All content filtering happens entirely on your device using the iOS Network Extension framework. No browsing data is collected, stored, or transmitted to any server.

DATA STORED ON YOUR DEVICE

The following data is stored locally on your device only:

  • Your commitment level setting
  • Streak start date and progress
  • Unlocked badge identifiers
  • Custom blocklist entries you add
  • Vault Lock setup status

This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

If you choose to set up an accountability partner, the following information is sent to our server:

  • Your name and email address
  • Your partner's name and email address
  • A hashed device identifier (not your actual device ID)

This data is used solely to send alert emails to your partner if Paladin is removed from your device or the content filter is deactivated. It is stored on Cloudflare Workers KV and can be deleted at any time by deactivating the accountability partner feature in the app.

WHAT WE DO NOT COLLECT

  • Browsing history or web activity
  • URLs you visit or that are blocked
  • Device location
  • Contacts, photos, or other personal data
  • Analytics or usage tracking data
  • Advertising identifiers

BLOCKLIST SYNC

Paladin periodically downloads an updated blocklist from our server to keep filtering effective. This request contains no personally identifiable information — only a version check. The blocklist is stored on your device.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

If you enable push notifications, your device token is sent to our server to deliver accountability alerts. The token is associated only with your hashed device identifier and is removed when you deactivate the accountability partner feature.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Paladin uses the following third-party services:

  • Cloudflare Workers — hosts the heartbeat and alert server
  • Resend — delivers partner alert emails
  • Apple Push Notification Service — delivers push notifications

No data is shared with advertisers, analytics providers, or data brokers.

DATA DELETION

To delete all server-side data, deactivate the accountability partner feature in Settings > Vault Lock. This removes your registration from our server immediately. All on-device data is deleted when you uninstall the app.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Paladin is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
