Privacy Policy
Effective 31 August 2026
Joblock is an app that locks apps you choose until you complete a real job application. This page explains, plainly, what data that requires, why, and what we deliberately never see. It's written to describe what the app actually does — not a generic template.
The gate itself never leaves your device
Which apps you've chosen to pause, the shield state, and your gate schedule are handled entirely by Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls framework and stored only on your device. Joblock's own code never sees which apps you picked — the selection is an opaque token we cannot read — and nothing about it is ever collected, stored on our servers, or sent anywhere. This is true whether or not you create an account.
Account and profile
If you sign in, you can use Sign in with Apple, which gives us the name and email address you choose to share — including Apple's private relay address if you use "Hide My Email". Signing in isn't required: you can use the blocker and apply to jobs without an account at all.
If you do create an account, your profile — job roles you're interested in, target pay, location, and the text extracted from any CV you upload — is stored in our backend (Supabase) so we can match you to relevant jobs and generate application documents on request. A CV file itself is processed on your device to extract its text; that text, not the original file, is what we store.
AI-drafted documents
Credits buy an optional AI-drafted CV summary or cover letter. To generate one, we send your CV text and job preferences, together with the job listing you're applying to, to Anthropic's API — never your name, email, or account identifier. Per Anthropic's commercial API terms, data submitted this way is not used to train their models. You always review and can edit anything generated before it's saved anywhere or used.
Payments
Credit purchases are handled entirely by Apple's In-App Purchase system and RevenueCat, who manages entitlements on our behalf. RevenueCat receives your account ID and the store's purchase/transaction record so it can credit your account. No card or payment details are ever sent to or stored by Joblock — we never see them.
Job search
Searching uses live listings from job boards and employer sources — including Reed, Adzuna, and others — plus listings we've already indexed from employer application systems. Your search keyword and location are sent to these providers to fetch results; we don't send your identity along with a search. A town or postcode you type for search radius is resolved to coordinates via postcodes.io, again without any identifying information attached.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time from within the app. This is a full, immediate deletion, not a deactivation: it removes your profile (including CV text, roles, pay, and location), every job match and application record, credit balance and purchase history, and the daily usage logs tied to your account — then removes your account itself, so nothing is left to sign back into. Where possible, we also revoke Joblock's access to your Sign in with Apple grant. Because the gate itself is on-device only, deleting your account doesn't touch your Screen Time settings or which apps you've chosen to pause — those are undone separately, by editing your app selection or deleting Joblock itself; deleting your account also clears any active gate and unshields your apps on that device so you're never left blocked with no account left to unlock it.
Who we share data with
| Who | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Account, profile, CV text, application documents | Our backend storage |
| Anthropic | CV text, job preferences, and the job listing — no name, email, or account ID | Generates the AI draft you asked for |
| RevenueCat | Account ID and store purchase/transaction data | Processes credit purchases |
| postcodes.io | Postcode-derived coordinates, no identity attached | Location-based search radius |
| Reed / Adzuna and other job sources | Search keyword and location, no identity attached | Live job search results |
We don't use advertising or analytics SDKs, and nothing about you is shared for advertising or tracked across other companies' apps or websites.
Your rights
Joblock is operated from the United Kingdom, and UK data protection law applies. You can access, correct, or delete your data at any time — most of this is available directly in the app, and anything else is a request away at support@joblock.io.
