Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

The short version

Block doesn't collect your data. Seriously. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics.

What Block accesses

YouTube playlists: When you paste a playlist URL, Block fetches the video titles from YouTube's public API. This data is only used to create your calendar events and is never stored or sent anywhere else.

Your calendar: Block requests permission to access your calendar. It creates events when you schedule a playlist, and can delete events it previously created when you choose to remove a schedule. Block only modifies events it created — it never reads, modifies, or deletes your other calendar data.

What Block stores

Block stores the following data locally on your device only:

• IDs of calendar events Block creates, so it can remove them later if you choose
• Records of your scheduled playlists (title, date range, progress) for the My Schedules screen
• A flag indicating whether you've seen the onboarding screen

None of this data ever leaves your device.

What Block doesn't do

• No account required
• No personal data collected
• No analytics or tracking
• No ads
• No data sold to third parties
• No servers storing your information

Third-party services

YouTube API: Block uses YouTube's API to fetch playlist information. YouTube's privacy policy applies to their service: Google Privacy Policy

Apple Calendar: Events are created and managed using Apple's EventKit framework and stored in your device's calendar app.
