Sanctions & Restricted Regions

Last updated: 8 August 2026

1. Compliance Statement

ADappvark is committed to full compliance with international sanctions regimes, including but not limited to sanctions imposed by:

• The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) under the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011
• The United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
• The European Union under its Common Foreign and Security Policy
• The United Nations Security Council
• The United Kingdom Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI)

ADappvark adopts an extremely conservative approach to sanctions compliance. Where there is any ambiguity or overlap between sanctions regimes, we apply the most restrictive interpretation.

2. Restricted Countries and Regions

Divine Quotes Sol is not available in the following 29 countries. This list is generated from, and matches exactly, the blocklist compiled into the App. Users located in, or who are residents or nationals of, these countries are prohibited from downloading, installing, or using the App:

2.1 Comprehensively Sanctioned Countries

• 1.
  Cuba (CU)
  US comprehensive sanctions (OFAC); EU restrictive measures
• 2.

  US comprehensive sanctions (OFAC); EU, AU, and UN sanctions
• 3.

2.2 Countries Under Broad Sanctions

• 5.

• 6.
  Belarus (BY)
  US, EU, and AU sanctions due to support of Russian military operations
• 7.
  Ukraine (UA)
  Blocked as a whole country: the App cannot reliably distinguish the Russian-occupied territories of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk from the rest of Ukraine, so the whole country code is treated as restricted
• 8.
  Myanmar (Burma) (MM)
  US, EU, and AU sanctions following the military coup
• 9.
  Afghanistan (AF)
  US, EU, AU, and UN sanctions and counter-terrorism designations

  Venezuela (VE)
  US sectoral and targeted sanctions; EU restrictive measures

  Democratic Republic of the Congo (CD)

• 18.
  Central African Republic (CF)

  Mali (ML)
  UN, EU, and US sanctions
• 21.
  Haiti (HT)
  UN, US, and Canadian sanctions
• 22.
  Nicaragua (NI)

2.4 High-Risk Jurisdictions (FATF and Related Restrictions)

• 23.
  Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA)
  EU and US designations relating to obstruction of the Dayton Agreement
• 24.
  Burundi (BI)
  EU and US targeted sanctions
• 25.
  Eritrea (ER)
  UN, EU, and US sanctions
• 26.
  Guinea (GN)
  EU and US targeted sanctions
• 27.
  Guinea-Bissau (GW)
  UN and EU sanctions
• 28.
  Iraq (IQ)
  UN and US residual sanctions and asset-freeze measures
• 29.
  Chad (TD)
  EU and US targeted measures; high-risk jurisdiction

Where the App blocks a whole country that international sanctions target only in part (notably Ukraine), that is a deliberately conservative choice made because mobile country detection cannot resolve sub-national territories.
