NetPause Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 25, 2026

NetPause respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

a) Local VPN

• NetPause creates a local VPN on your device using a fictitious IP address.
• This VPN only routes the traffic of apps you choose to block and runs entirely on your device.
• We do not collect or log the content of the traffic of blocked apps.
• The VPN is used solely to block or restrict Internet access for selected apps.

b) Advertising Information

• NetPause uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.
• AdMob may collect anonymous technical data (such as advertising ID, device type, and app usage information) to personalize ads.
• We do not share this data with third parties except as required by Google for advertising purposes.

c) Information You Provide

• Settings such as blocked apps and schedules are stored locally on your device only.

2. How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve app functionality, including managing the local VPN and blocking apps.
• To display personalized ads via AdMob.
• To respond to support requests.

3. Information Sharing

• We do not sell or share personal data with third parties except as necessary to provide the service.
• Google may process data for ad personalization, analytics, and ad performance measurement according to their privacy policies.

4. Security

• The local VPN runs entirely on your device and does not transmit data to external servers.
• We implement technical measures to protect information stored in the app.
• However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of device-stored data.

5. Choices and Control

• You can disable the local VPN or close the app at any time.
• You can opt out of personalized ads from Google AdMob via your device settings or the Google Ads Settings page.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

• The app does not use its own cookies.
• AdMob or other ad SDKs may use cookie-like technologies to track anonymous usage for personalized advertising.

7. Children

• The app is not intended for children under 13.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

• We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please review the latest version in the app or on our website regularly.
