Readwall is operated by ASTRAL VAULT COLLECTIVE SRL, a company registered in Romania with registration number J2026036112007, CUI 54809583, and social capital of 500. For more information, you can visit our collective website at astralvaultcollective.vercel.app.

Readwall was built with a fundamental belief in digital privacy. Our business model is a simple single purchase, not selling your data. We do not track your reading habits, we do not monitor your app usage off device, and we do not serve ads.

Android Special Permissions

Readwall does not use the Android Accessibility Service. App blocking on Android uses two system permissions that you grant explicitly:

  • Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): Lets Readwall detect which app is in the foreground so it can interrupt apps you chose to wall. It does not read screen content, keystrokes, or notifications.
  • Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Lets Readwall show a full-screen Wall overlay when a walled app is opened, with a shortcut back into the reader.
  • What data is collected: Package names of apps you wall are stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded for advertising or profiling.
  • Data sharing: Usage and overlay data stay on-device and are never shared with third parties.

On iOS (when available), blocking will use Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls APIs under your authorization, not Accessibility.

Local Data Storage

All of your data, including your reading streaks, daily goals, blocked app lists, and imported books, are stored locally on your device. We do not maintain servers to sync this data, meaning we physically cannot access it.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

We may use basic, anonymized crash reporting tools to help us fix bugs and improve the app. This data cannot be linked back to you personally and contains no details about what you read or which apps you block.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at privacy@readwall.app or by post/visiting the Astral Vault Collective website.
