Privacy policy for Fossify Launcher

Scope

This policy describes how Fossify Launcher handles information used by its features. Fossify does not provide an account or cloud service for this app.

Data processed on the device

The app reads or creates the following information only as needed for its features:

• The list of installed apps and their labels and icons
• Home-screen layout, folders, gestures, widgets, and launcher settings

Permissions and system services

Android access depends on the feature, Android version, and choices made in system settings. Relevant access includes:

• Installed-app visibility so the launcher can show the app drawer
• Widget binding and status-bar controls used by launcher features
• Package removal when you explicitly request an uninstall
• Optional device-admin access for supported screen-lock actions

Permissions can be reviewed or revoked in Android settings. Some features will stop working when their permission is unavailable.

Advertising, tracking, and data collection

Fossify Launcher does not request Android's Internet permission. It contains no advertising and does not track users. The app does not send app data, usage records, or identifiers to Fossify. It does not send data to third parties for advertising, analytics, or tracking.

Other apps and services

Launcher data stays on the device. Opening another app hands control to that app under its own privacy terms.

Android, app stores, backup and device-transfer services, and any external app or provider you choose to use operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Storage and deletion

App settings and local records remain on the device until they are changed or deleted in the app, cleared through Android settings, or removed by uninstalling the app. Files or records managed through Android system providers follow those providers' storage, deletion, and backup settings.

Logs and support

The app does not send diagnostic or usage logs to Fossify. If you report a problem, you decide what text, screenshots, recordings, or log files to share. Public issue reports are visible to anyone; contact Fossify by email before sharing private information.

Security

The app runs within Android's application and permission model. Its source code is public for review. Keep Android and the app up to date.

Changes and contact

Material changes will be published on this page with a new effective date. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@fossify.org.
