De-Ad by Dro1d Labs Limited

Last Updated: December 2025

TL;DR

ZERO DATA ZERO TRACKING ZERO COLLECTION

We don't track you. We don't collect your data. We don't even know you exist. De-Ad is 100% offline, runs entirely on your device, and never communicates with any servers. Your browsing history stays in Safari—we never see it.

1. Information We DON'T Collect

De-Ad is built on a simple principle: we don't want your data.

  • Browsing history
  • Personal information (name, email, location, etc.)
  • Device identifiers or analytics
  • Usage statistics or telemetry
  • Crash reports or diagnostics
  • IP addresses or network data

// TECHNICAL_NOTE

De-Ad uses Safari's Content Blocker API. By design, this API prevents apps from seeing what websites you visit. Safari handles all blocking locally on your device.

2. How De-Ad Works

De-Ad operates entirely offline:

  • We provide Safari with a blocklist of ~45,000 rules
  • Safari's WebKit engine enforces these rules locally
  • No network requests are made by De-Ad
  • No data leaves your device

Think of De-Ad as a filter you install in your browser. We give Safari the instructions, but Safari does all the work—without us watching.

3. In-App Purchases

De-Ad offers optional Pro themes via one-time purchase. Handled by Apple & RevenueCat.

What's stored:

  • Simple true/false Pro status (locally on your device)
  • Anonymous purchase receipt (via RevenueCat)

What we never see: Your payment info, name, email.

4. Third-Party Services

De-Ad uses only one third-party service:

RevenueCat (Purchase Processing)

Handles Pro unlock verification. Collects anonymous purchase receipts only.

Everything else (Safari blocking, app UI) runs 100% offline.

5. Data Storage

All data stored by De-Ad remains on your device:

  • Theme preferences (stored locally using UserDefaults)
  • Pro purchase status (cached locally, synced via RevenueCat)
  • Blocklist rules (~45k rules, bundled with the app)

No cloud storage. No remote servers. No data synchronization.

6. Children's Privacy

De-Ad does not knowingly collect data from anyone—including children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal information, De-Ad is safe for all ages.

7. Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, there's nothing to:

  • Request (we don't have it)
  • Delete (it doesn't exist)
  • Export (there's nothing to export)
  • Correct (we never stored it)

Your privacy is protected by default.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we ever change how De-Ad handles data (spoiler: we won't), we'll update this page and notify users via an app update.
