AI Killswitch — Privacy Policy
Who we are
AI Killswitch is made by Mibblewood Creations (“we”, “us”). If you have any question about this policy or the app, email support@mibblewoodcreations.com.
What the app does
AI Killswitch stops AI services (such as AI chatbots) from working on the phone it is installed on. It uses Android’s VPN feature, but only on the phone itself: it looks at the names of websites the phone tries to reach (DNS lookups) and refuses the ones on its blocklist. It is not a VPN that sends your internet traffic to us or anyone else.
What happens to your data
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Website names your phone looks up | Checked against the blocklist on your phone only, then forgotten. Names that are not blocked are passed to your phone’s normal internet provider’s DNS server, exactly as without the app. We never see them. |
| Parent PIN | Stored on the phone as a one-way scrambled code (a salted hash). It cannot be read back, and it never leaves the phone. |
| Tamper history (e.g. “blocking was switched off at 21:14”) | Kept on the phone only, for up to 30 days, so a parent can see it after entering the PIN. Never sent anywhere. |
| Settings (mode, timer) | Kept on the phone only. |
| Browsing history, messages, photos, contacts, location, app usage | Not accessed, not collected. |
Blocklist updates
About every 12 hours, and when you tap “Check for updates”, the app downloads the latest blocklist from
lists.mibblewoodcreations.com. The request contains no account, no device ID and no information about you.
The file is delivered by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, which — like any website host — briefly processes your
IP address to deliver it and may keep standard technical logs under its own
privacy policy. We do not receive or use these logs.
Permissions the app uses
- VPN — only to check website names on the phone and refuse blocked ones.
- Device administrator (optional) — only to stop the app being uninstalled without the parent PIN. It cannot see, lock or wipe anything.
- Notifications — to tell you when blocking was switched off without the PIN, or a timer has ended.
- Internet — only to download blocklist updates.
- Run at start-up — so blocking comes back on after the phone restarts.
The app is always visible: in your app list, in the status bar while active, and in Android’s Device admin apps. Nothing is hidden.
Children
AI Killswitch is installed and set up by adults, often on a child’s phone. Because the app collects no personal data from anyone, it collects none from children either.
Advertising, analytics and selling data
There are no adverts, no analytics or tracking tools, and we never sell or share data — there is none to sell or share.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have rights over personal data held about you. As we hold none, there is nothing to access or delete; uninstalling the app removes everything it stored on the phone. You can still contact us at any time, or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
If anything changes, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect in the app.
