Who provides this app
Timastra Notification Blocker is provided by Timastra LLC. See our company details. Privacy questions can be sent to support@timastra.com.
This policy explains the app’s data use, including optional features and differences between supported platforms.
Scope and no app account
This policy covers Timastra Notification Blocker for Android, package com.timastra.notifblocker, including internal test builds and the 0.1.6 advertising candidate; earlier 0.1.5 and older builds have no advertising SDK. The app is intended for ages 13 and older, subject to applicable regional store ratings and requirements. Core filtering needs no Timastra account, advertising profile or purchase. Google Play controls whether a release is available to your account and device; a policy page does not establish public availability.
Notification access and local processing
If you enable Android notification access, the app examines accessible notifications on your device and dismisses matching clearable notifications after arrival. An initial sound or banner can still occur. Rules, selected/allowed apps, notification content and activity history stay on your device and are not sent to Timastra, RevenueCat or an advertising provider. Recognized calls, alarms, media, ongoing and non-clearable notifications are skipped; explicitly allow essential apps because recognition is imperfect. Revoke access in Android settings at any time.
Local history and permissions
Activity metadata can include the source app, time, rule and outcome. Optional text previews are off by default; turning them off removes saved previews. History is bounded to one day on Free or an optional seven days with verified Pro. Clear history removes local activity and confirmed totals. The app queries launchable apps locally so you can choose filters; it does not upload your installed-app list. Local app data is excluded from Android cloud backup and device transfer.
Google Play and RevenueCat billing
Billing-enabled installations connect to Google Play and RevenueCat when the app starts, including when you continue with Free. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated anonymous installation/App User ID, store purchase history and purchase-verification records, and basic technical context such as app/platform version, operating system, locale and store country/currency. Ordinary HTTPS connection metadata is handled by the network recipients. These records support entitlement validation and restoration, payment fraud prevention and purchase analytics. Google Play collects payment details directly under Google's policies; the app and Timastra do not receive card numbers or Google passwords. Advertising/device-identifier collection and SDK diagnostics are disabled; the app does not set email, name, phone or marketing attributes or enable advertising integrations.
One-time Pro and data separation
Configured releases offer a one-time non-consumable Pro purchase, not a subscription. Google Play shows the actual localized price before confirmation. Purchased Pro is granted only from verified entitlement information. Pending or failed payments do not unlock it; restore uses the original Google Play purchase. Refunds or revocation remove Pro while preserving saved rules and Free controls. Billing providers do not receive notification text, filter phrases, app-selection lists or activity history.
Complimentary review access
Version 0.1.4 adds Settings > Review access for a reusable code supplied by Timastra to app reviewers. It unlocks the same Pro features without a payment or app account. The code is checked and stored only on the device, excluded from Android backup, and removed with Remove review access or Android app-data deletion. It is not sent to RevenueCat, used to identify a person or treated as a purchase. RevenueCat still handles its separately disclosed anonymous billing connection. Removing complimentary access returns to the verified purchase plan; Free limits and retention apply if there is no purchased Pro.
Free advertising and privacy choices
Advertising-enabled 0.1.6 and later builds may show a small Google AdMob banner on Free Home after setup and privacy checks. Pro, including complimentary review access, removes the banner; no ads appear in onboarding, permission setup, rule editing or purchase flows. Google Mobile Ads and its User Messaging Platform handle applicable privacy checks. Requests are non-personalized with Google's strictest age-restricted ad treatment and G content limits for all users; this ad-serving setting prevents transmission of the Android advertising identifier and does not change the app's 13+ audience; all users are conservatively treated as under consent age without collecting their age or birthday. Settings > Ad privacy options offers applicable regional choices and retry. Unavailable privacy checks or ads do not stop Free filtering. Android advertising-ID permission is removed, but Google may still collect and share IP address (used to estimate approximate location), ad/app interactions, performance/diagnostic information and app-set or other device identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. No notification content, rules, app-selection inventory or RevenueCat user ID is supplied for ad targeting. Google handles its advertising data under its own privacy policy. Buying Pro stops future banner requests; it does not erase data Google already received. You can use Google privacy controls or contact support for help.
Service providers, security and retention
RevenueCat processes billing information on Timastra's behalf; Google Play operates the store and payment flow. Billing requests use encrypted HTTPS. RevenueCat billing records may remain to provide purchase verification, restoration, fraud prevention, support and purchase reporting until deletion is completed, subject to applicable retention obligations. Google may retain its own transaction records under its policies. We do not sell notification information or use purchase records for cross-app advertising. The advertising practices described here apply only to advertising-enabled builds. No precise or approximate device location permission is requested.
Provider privacy references
Retention and deletion
Use Settings > Clear history or turn off Save text previews for the corresponding local records. Clearing Android app storage or uninstalling removes app-managed rules, preferences and local history; Timastra cannot erase these remotely. To request deletion of a RevenueCat billing record, copy the Purchase support ID from Settings > Privacy & purchase support in a configured build and email support@timastra.com with the app name and that ID. If the app is no longer installed, contact support with the store order reference if available; do not send purchase tokens, passwords, notification text or private databases. We verify the request and explain what can be deleted and any legal/fraud-prevention retention exceptions. Stop using or uninstall the app after requesting billing-record deletion to avoid a new anonymous billing record being created; a later purchase restore can recreate records needed for Pro. Deletion does not itself refund a purchase, erase Google's transaction records or recover local data.

Support messages and your privacy choices
If you contact us, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond, troubleshoot and handle privacy requests. Email and hosting providers process these communications and ordinary connection information. We retain correspondence as needed to resolve the request and meet applicable recordkeeping obligations; you may request deletion of correspondence.
You may request access, correction, export or deletion of personal information we hold, or raise an objection or withdraw consent where applicable. Local-only records must be managed on your device because we do not hold a remote copy. Optional device permissions can be revoked in system settings. Service providers may process data outside your country under their own policies; security also depends on your device and any destinations you choose for exports.
Contact and policy changes
Email support@timastra.com for Timastra Notification Blocker privacy questions. Include the app name and enough non-sensitive information to identify your request. Never send passwords, authentication codes, recovery keys or private health, financial or photo backups. We may need to verify ownership before releasing or deleting hosted records.
Material changes to the app's data practices will be reflected in this policy with an updated date and in the app where appropriate. Visiting this page is also covered by our website privacy policy.
