Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Currently I have several apps on the Playstore.



Future revisions / updates of these apps or further apps may utilise writes to and from the SD Card.
At no time will I utilise personal details on your phone in ways which violate your privacy.



How can you be sure.

In reality, you cannot be absolutely sure, for example, it is believed organisations like the NSA can access you private details on your device.
These is therefore a degree of trust involved.



What steps can you take to maximise your Privacy.



While rooting your phone, does remove limits on your phone's capabilities, it also allows
apps you might download (such as mine) access to restricted areas of your phone.



If you are concerned about your privacy, do not Root your phone.

If you have rooted your phone, all is not lost because before access is granted to sensitive areas
the phone will ask you, 'do you wish to grant access rights to this app'
So you remain in control.

There is a slightly increased risk in Rooting your phone.

Another step you can take is to restrict certain rights to any app you download.

Go to settings >> privacy >> apps

And from there you should be able to restrict access to any app to your private data, either by denying rights, or only allowing access after presenting you with an access prompt.

The other way you can protect your privacy, is not to store sensitive information on your phone.

These threats exist with any app, including those, pre installed on a new phone.

Another step you can take is restrict app downloads to known sources only.
This is a setting you can select in Settings > Apps (your phone may vary).

There is always a risk with any application installed, if you have sensitive or important data on your phone that you cannot afford to lose, take the time NOW to look in to backing up your important data.

The android app store Privacy requirements are here :-
https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security/user-data/

None of my Apps will intentionally / deliberately violate your privacy rights, 
no Private information from your phone is collected and sent off device.


I will always endeavour to ensure you are always aware of what my Apps are doing
in the background.


The reality is though that many apps, not just mine would be pretty useless without
access to personal information.
Some apps don't need it of course, but if for example, it's a password app, then
generated passwords are going to have to be written to and from your device for future use.
SmS apps are going to need access to your phone functions and very probably
your contacts.
One of the Good things about Android is Apps are 'Sandboxed', IE they are kept seperate from each other and it's difficult for one app to read private data from another.
