Privacy Policy

This policy covers Shallot: Safari Ad Blocker and the optional Privacy Duo subscription, published by DIGITALSTALK PRIVATE LIMITED. Approtic operates this support website for DIGITALSTALK PRIVATE LIMITED.

Your chosen protection layers, peeled-back sites, pinned blocks, X-ray history (up to 25 reports) and extension settings are stored locally and in the app group shared with the Safari extension. They never leave the device.

Shallot does not receive the web pages you visit, your browsing history, or per-site blocking logs. Safari applies the rule lists itself; the extension only supplies the compiled rules.

When you run an X-ray, your iPhone downloads the public HTML of the address you typed, once, directly from that website. The analysis runs on the device. Nothing about the request or its result is sent to us or to any third party.

Apple processes subscriptions, eligible trials, renewals, cancellations and refunds. We never receive your payment card details.

StoreKit and RevenueCat process product identifiers, purchase history, subscription status and an anonymous app user identifier so paid access can be validated and restored.

If you choose Privacy Duo, Sign in with Apple provides a stable Apple user identifier. We use it only to associate the shared entitlement with the companion VPN app. Solo Shallot plans do not require an account.

Apple may provide aggregated App Store analytics and crash diagnostics according to your Apple settings. Shallot itself contains no analytics or advertising SDKs and does not use browsing data for advertising.

If you contact support we receive the email address, message and details you choose to send, and use them to respond. We do not sell personal information and share data only with the providers needed to operate purchases and support, or when legally required.

Local settings remain until you delete or reset them. Purchase and support records are retained only as long as needed for access, support, security and legal requirements.

You can use Shallot without creating an account, manage subscriptions in Apple settings, clear X-ray history in Settings, and remove all local data by deleting the app. Depending on where you live you may request access, correction, deletion or export of personal information we hold.

Shallot is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy when the app, processors or legal requirements change; the date at the top identifies the current version.
