Overview
24 Block is a visual time-block planning app. At launch, the app is designed to work without an account and to keep planning data on the user's device.
This policy describes the current behaviour of the app represented in this repository. It should be published on the product website before store submission.
Data We Store On Device
24 Block stores planning data locally on the device so the app can work as intended.
This can include:
- schedules and time blocks
- recurring routine definitions and generated routine blocks
- block comments and notes entered in the planner
- activity categories, colours, and theme selections
- app settings and planning preferences
On supported iOS devices, the app can also show current-block information in a live activity when that feature is enabled.
Data We Do Not Collect Through the App
At launch, 24 Block does not require an account and does not intentionally collect the following through the app:
- name
- email address
- phone number
- payment information
- profile data
- advertising identifiers
- analytics data
- crash-reporting data
- location data
- calendar account data
- photos, files, or audio recordings
The app does not provide cloud sync, collaboration, advertising, or in-app account creation at launch.
How Data Is Used
Planning data is used to provide the app's core functionality, including:
- displaying and editing schedules
- saving categories, themes, and preferences
- generating recurring routine blocks
- showing current-block information in a live activity on supported iOS devices
At launch, 24 Block does not use in-app data for advertising, third-party marketing, behavioural profiling, or personalised ad targeting.
Sharing and External Actions
24 Block includes optional actions that hand user-selected content to other apps or services only when the user initiates them.
These include:
- sharing schedule text through the system share sheet
- opening the user's mail app to send feedback to
support@24block.app - opening external links such as the product website
When a user uses one of these actions, the selected content is handled by the chosen app, service, or provider under that provider's own terms and privacy practices.
Permissions and Platform Capabilities
At launch, 24 Block does not request sensitive runtime permissions from the user.
Current platform configuration includes:
- Android main manifest permissions for internet access and vibration
- iOS live activity support for the current block
- an iOS app group used by the live-activity extension
If the app later adds capabilities or permissions that affect user data, this policy will be updated before those changes are released.
Storage, Backups, and Deletion
At launch, 24 Block stores planning data locally on the device and does not provide product-managed cloud storage.
Depending on the user's operating system settings, local app data may also be included in device backups managed by Apple, Google, or the user's device platform. Those backups are not operated by 24 Block.
Users can remove planning data from within the app where controls exist, or remove app data by uninstalling the app, subject to how the operating system handles local storage and backups.
Security
24 Block is designed to keep launch data local to the device and to avoid unnecessary third-party data flows. No software system can guarantee absolute security, but the product should follow platform security defaults and continue improving as features expand.
If future releases add accounts, sync, payments, or external integrations, additional safeguards such as secure credential storage, stronger access controls, and updated disclosures will be required.
Children
24 Block is a general productivity app and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
If the app, legal requirements, or data practices change, this policy will be updated before those changes take effect in release builds.
