Privacy Policy for Adios

Last Updated: MAY 10, 2026

This privacy policy governs your use of the software application "Adios" (the "Application"), an iOS Safari content blocker that hides ads, analytics, social, and other trackers in Mobile Safari, created by dreamcraft.io (the "Developer").

Adios is submitted to the App Store under the Utilities category. It is a single-purpose tool: you toggle which categories of trackers to block, and Safari handles the rest using the system content blocker API.

Adios is built around a privacy-first foundation: the entire Application runs fully offline. There is no account system, no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no remote content fetching, and no network calls of any kind to the Developer.

What Adios Does

  • Block ad trackers — hides ad networks and ad-tracking domains.
  • Block analytics trackers — hides web analytics scripts.
  • Block social trackers — hides social-network embeds and their cross-site beacons.
  • Block other content trackers — hides cross-site content trackers.
  • Block web fonts — disables third-party web font loading.
  • Block more (Adblock Fast) — applies a larger combined blocklist for stricter blocking.
  • Per-site whitelist — domains you trust are exempt from blocking; subdomains of a whitelisted domain are also exempt.

What Data the Application Collects

Adios does not collect, transmit, store, or share any personal information or any browsing data. All toggle states and your whitelist are stored locally on the device using Apple's standard on-device storage (a shared App Group UserDefaults container) so the host app and the Safari content blocker extension can read the same settings. Nothing is ever sent to the Developer or to any third party.

The Safari content blocker extension is given a static list of blocking rules by the Application and is then run by Safari itself. The Application has no access to which sites you visit, what you browse, what you search, what you tap, or any other Safari activity. Apple's content blocker design intentionally prevents this.

No Tracking, No Advertising

Adios does not:

  • Collect or ask for personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, photo, location, or contacts).
  • Use Apple's IDFA or the App Tracking Transparency framework to track you. There are no advertising SDKs and no attribution SDKs embedded in the Application.
  • Display third-party advertising of any kind.
  • Track your activity across other apps or websites.
  • Sell or share any data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
  • Require, request, or support account creation or sign-in. Adios has no user accounts.
  • Phone home. Adios makes no network requests to the Developer's servers, ever.

How Blocking Works

When you toggle a category, the Application asks iOS to reload the Safari content blocker extension. The extension reads the relevant rule lists from its own bundle, concatenates them, applies your whitelist as ignore-previous-rules entries, and hands the merged ruleset to Safari. Safari is the only component that ever sees the URLs of the pages you visit; the Application never does.

Safari hard-caps each content blocker at 50,000 rules. If the merged list is larger, Adios trims the trailing entries to stay under the cap so that your whitelist is always honored.

Per-Site Whitelist

You can add domains you trust to the whitelist from the main screen. Whitelisted entries are stored locally in the same shared App Group UserDefaults as the toggles, are matched against subdomains as well as the parent domain, and never leave the device. Removing the Application removes the whitelist.

Block Lists Shipped With Adios

The block rules Adios applies are bundled inside the Application as static JSON files. They are not fetched at runtime, are not personalized to you, and are the same for every user on the same Application version. The shipped lists are derived from publicly available sources:

  • Disconnect blacklist (Mozilla / Disconnect, Inc.) — adapted into the Adios advertising, analytics, social, and content categories.
  • Web fonts list — a small hand-maintained list shipped with Adios.
  • Adblock Fast / EasyList + Bluhell Firewall — the "Block more" toggle uses the upstream rocketshipapps/adblockfast ruleset, which is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

Children's Privacy

Adios is not submitted to the Apple Kids Category and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including from any child whose caregiver may be using the Application. Because the Application does not collect personal information at all and does not transmit any data over the network, the Application is designed to comply with applicable children's privacy regulations including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / GDPR-K).

Data Retention and Deletion

Because Adios stores all data locally on the device and the Developer never receives any of it, there is nothing for the Developer to retain or delete on your behalf.

To remove all data created by the Application, you may delete the Application from your device. This will remove all locally stored toggle states and your whitelist from that device.
