Terms of use
Last updated 9 November 2026
VisionShield is a tool to help adults quit porn. It works hard to block adult content, but no blocker is perfect, and it isn’t medical or psychological treatment.
Who can use it
You need to be 18 or over and using VisionShield on your own phone, by your own choice. Don’t install it on someone else’s phone or use it to monitor another person.
What it is and isn’t
- Blocking relies on DNS filtering and the controls Apple and Google provide. Some content, apps or workarounds may get through, and we can’t promise it catches everything.
- The forecast, patterns and AI reflections are suggestions based on what you record. They can be wrong.
- VisionShield isn’t a medical device or a substitute for professional help. If you’re struggling, please talk to a GP or counsellor. In a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000.
The 24-hour rule
Changes that weaken protection take 24 hours to apply. That’s a core part of how the app works, and we won’t remove the wait on request. Android lockdown mode can only be left with the unlock code shown when you set it up, or a replacement code after its waiting period.
Allies
If you add an ally, you choose what they see and you’re responsible for sending the link only to them. Anyone who has the link can see the page until sharing ends. Allies use the page as a courtesy to you and agree not to share it.
Using it fairly
Don’t try to break, overload or misuse our server, and don’t use VisionShield for anything unlawful. We may limit or stop access to the server for misuse.
Changes and availability
We may update the app, these terms and the service. We’ll tell you in the app about changes that matter. We aim to keep the ally and AI features running, but can’t promise they’ll always be available.
Your rights and our liability
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Apart from those rights, we provide VisionShield as it is, and to the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect loss, or for content that gets past the filter.
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
