Privacy Policy Convergence
Privacy Policy for Convergence Launcher
This Privacy Policy explains how Convergence Launcher ("the App") handles your information. Your privacy is a priority, and this App is designed to function with a strict no-collection and no-sale policy.
=== 1. Data Collection and Usage === Convergence Launcher does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All information accessed via Android permissions is processed locally on your device to provide launcher-specific features.
==== Permissions & Purpose ==== Based on the app's configuration, the following permissions are used solely for functional purposes:
Installed Apps & Package Visibility (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES): Used to display your installed applications in the app drawer and allow you to launch them.
Usage Statistics (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): Used to provide features like "Most Used Apps" or notification badges by understanding app interaction patterns locally.
Location Access (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION): Used strictly for local features, such as displaying the weather or updating your timezone automatically based on your current region.
Notification Access (BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE): Used to display notification badges (dots) on app icons so you can see unread alerts directly on your home screen.
Internet Access (INTERNET): Used only for local functional requests, such as fetching weather data. No personal identifier or device data is bundled with these requests.
Package Management (REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES): Allows you to uninstall apps directly from the launcher interface.
2. Data Sharing and Sale
No Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, or lease any user data to third parties.
No Third-Party Tracking: The App does not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs that track your behavior across other sites or services.
=== 3. Data Retention === Since no data is collected or uploaded to a cloud server, there is no data retained by the developer. All app settings and preferences are stored locally on your device and are deleted if you uninstall the App.
=== 4. Security === The App follows standard Android security best practices. By setting android:allowBackup="false", the App ensures that your local configuration and sensitive permission-based data are not included in standard device backups to external cloud services.
=== 5. Contact Information === If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the App’s localized data handling, please contact the developer via the official store listing.
