Privacy Policy

The summary

• ·Your usage data stays on your device. Your modes, hidden apps, app limits, focus settings, and the screen-time statistics the app reads are stored on your device and are never transmitted to us or anyone else.
• ·No account, no sign-in. The app works without an account. You never give us your name, email, or phone number.
• ·Anonymous analytics only. We use Google Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, and Performance Monitoring to understand which features are used, fix crashes, and keep the app fast. This data is anonymous and does not include your screen-time numbers, the apps you use, or any content.
• ·You can opt out of analytics and crash reporting at any time in Settings → Privacy.
• ·No advertising. No data selling. We do not show ads and we never sell, rent, or trade your data.

Information stored only on your device

The following is created and kept locally on your device using Android's on-device database (Room) and preferences storage (DataStore). It is never sent to us or any third party:

• ·Launcher configuration — your modes, which apps are assigned to or excluded from each mode, hidden apps, appearance/theme settings, and other preferences.
• ·App limits and focus settings — the daily time limits and focus configuration you create.
• ·Screen-time and app-usage statistics — read from Android's on-device usage data to show your insights (today's screen time, top apps) and to enforce the limits you set.

Uninstalling the app removes this information from your device.

Device permissions and why we request them

Intent Launcher requests only what it needs to work as a launcher with screen-time and focus features. None of these permissions are used to send your data anywhere.

• ·Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS) — Read your device's screen-time and app-usage statistics so the app can show insights and enforce the daily limits you set. Read from Android's own on-device statistics, processed entirely on your device, and never collected, transmitted, or shared — not even in anonymous form. You can revoke it any time.
• ·Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) — Show a full-screen block reminder when a limited app reaches its daily limit. Generated locally; reads or transmits nothing.
• ·Foreground service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE) — Run a lightweight on-device monitor that checks which app is in the foreground so it can enforce your configured limits. This happens in real time on your device and is not recorded or sent anywhere.
• ·Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) — Show the persistent notification Android requires for the limit-enforcement service, and any reminders you enable.
• ·Run after restart (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) — Restart the limit-enforcement monitor after you reboot so your limits keep working.
• ·App visibility (launcher queries) — As a launcher, the app needs the list of installed, launchable apps so it can display and open them. This list is used only on your device.

Intent Launcher does not use Android's Accessibility Service. We deliberately do not read screen content, messages, passwords, keystrokes, or in-app activity.

Analytics and crash reporting

To understand which features are useful, find and fix bugs, and keep the app fast, the app uses three Google services:

• ·Firebase Analytics — anonymous, aggregated product events such as which screens are opened and which features are used (e.g. onboarding_completed, mode_created, limit_set), plus session counts, app version, and general device/OS type.
• ·Firebase Crashlytics — crash reports (stack traces, app state at the time of the crash, device model, OS version) so we can fix stability issues.
• ·Firebase Performance Monitoring — anonymous performance metrics such as app start-up time and the app's own network request response times, so we can find and fix slowdowns.

What this analytics data does NOT include

We have deliberately scoped analytics so it can never capture your personal usage. Analytics and crash reports do not include:

• ·your screen-time numbers or daily totals;
• ·which apps you use, any app names, or anything read via Usage Access;
• ·your modes' contents, hidden apps, or limit values;
• ·any message, password, photo, file, or other content.

In short: we measure how people use Intent Launcher itself, not how you use your phone. This data is processed by Google as a data processor on our behalf — see Google's Privacy Policy.

Opting out. You can disable analytics and crash reporting at any time in Settings → Privacy. When disabled, the app stops sending product events and crash reports.

What we do not do

• ·We do not transmit your screen-time data, app list, or any usage content.
• ·We do not use advertising SDKs or show ads.
• ·We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.
• ·We do not read the content inside your apps (messages, emails, browsing, passwords, photos, etc.).
• ·We do not use Android's Accessibility Service.

Backup and import

Intent Launcher lets you export a backup of your settings and import it later. A backup is a file created on your device at your request and stored wherever you choose. We never receive or store your backup. If you share a backup file with another app or service, that file becomes subject to the privacy practices of wherever you send it.

Purchases (Intent Launcher Pro)

If you upgrade to Intent Launcher Pro, the purchase is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never receive, see, or store your payment details (card numbers, billing address, etc.). Google's handling of your purchase is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Your Pro entitlement is verified through Google Play and recorded on your device.

Children's privacy

Intent Launcher is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The analytics described above are anonymous and not tied to an identity. If you believe a child has provided personal information in a way that reached us, contact us and we will address it.

Data security

Your launcher configuration and usage data never leave your device, so the primary protection for that information is the security of your own device (lock screen, encryption, Android's app sandboxing). Analytics and crash data are transmitted to Google over encrypted connections. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, but keeping your personal usage on-device materially reduces exposure compared to cloud-based alternatives.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data and to object to processing. Because the app stores your launcher and usage data only on your device, you already control it directly — clearing app data or uninstalling removes it. For the anonymous analytics handled by Google, you can opt out in Settings → Privacy. For any other request, contact us using the details below.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, surface the change in the app or on this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
