YOUR DATA

Privacy policy

Effective September 28, 2026

BellBlock is provided by John Barney. This policy describes the BellBlock iPhone and iPad app and this support website. Contact the developer through the support form, including for privacy requests.

Workouts stay on your device

The app stores interval settings, movement labels, saved routines, sound and haptic preferences, and completed workout history on your device. BellBlock does not send these records to a developer-operated workout server. Device backups may include these records. We do not require an app account, access Apple Health, or request access to your microphone, camera, contacts, or location.

Apple purchases

Apple processes trial and subscription transactions. The app uses verified transaction information, including entitlement and expiry information, to determine access. We do not receive your payment-card details. Apple processes purchase information under Apple's privacy policy.

No advertising or tracking

BellBlock version 1.0 build 5 and later contain no ads, advertising SDKs, ad identifiers, or advertising consent prompts. Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform have been removed. The app does not collect data for tracking, link your activity with third-party data for advertising, or share data with data brokers. This behavior is the same in every country and region. We do not include an analytics SDK.

Support requests and this website

If you send the support form, we collect the email address and message you choose to provide, a request reference, and submission time. We use these to answer questions, troubleshoot problems and handle privacy requests, not for marketing. Please do not include sensitive health information, passwords, card details or verification codes.

The site is hosted through OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare. These providers process technical request information needed to deliver and secure the site. Support messages are stored in a private database accessible to the site owner and authorized platform services. A temporary hash of network information is used to limit abusive submissions; the application does not retain your raw IP address. We do not expose support requests through a public viewing endpoint.

Retention, deletion and choices

Saved workouts and history remain until you delete them or remove the app's data. Swipe entries to delete them in My workouts or History. Backups are managed separately through Apple. Deleting the app does not cancel an Apple subscription.

Support requests are kept while needed to resolve the request, follow up, maintain necessary support records, or comply with legal obligations. You may request a copy, correction or deletion through the support form. Include your request reference if available; we may ask you to verify control of the email address before disclosing or deleting personal information. Temporary abuse-prevention entries are cleared during subsequent submissions after their one-day window. Hosting providers may retain security logs under their own policies.

Where applicable, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to your local data-protection authority. Required service processing and legal retention may continue where permitted by law. Apple separately manages information it collects under its policy.

Sharing and international processing

We use service providers for hosting, support storage and payment functionality as described above. Information may be processed outside your country by these providers. We do not sell support messages or use them for cross-context advertising. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect security and legal rights.

Children and updates

BellBlock is not directed to children under 13. If a child has submitted personal information through support, contact us to request deletion. We may update this policy when the app or its services change; the effective date above identifies the current version.
