Dotgrid (“the app”, “we”) is an Android home-screen widget pack. This policy explains what data the app handles. In short, we do not collect, store on our servers, sell or share your personal data. The app has no account system, no backend and no analytics or advertising.
We do not collect any personal data. The developer receives nothing from your device.
The app keeps the following only on your phone, in its private app storage:
Your settings, such as the color palette, units and widget choices (for example, world-clock cities or the weather location you picked).
Photos you choose for a Photo widget. These are copied into the app’s private storage and are never uploaded.
Notes, countdowns, checklists and similar content you type into a widget.
Cached weather forecasts and battery status, so widgets can display them.
This data is removed when you remove a widget, clear the app’s data or uninstall the app.
The Weather widget needs an internet connection.
Location (optional): If you tap “Use my location”, the app asks for coarse (approximate) location permission. It reads your location only while the app is open in the foreground. It never reads location in the background. You can instead search for a city manually, or deny the permission and use the rest of the app normally.
Weather provider: To get a forecast, the app sends the latitude and longitude of your chosen place to the MET Norway (Norwegian Meteorological Institute) Locationforecast API (api.met.no). As with any web request, MET Norway’s servers receive your IP address. We do not control how MET Norway handles this data. See their policy at https://www.met.no/en/About-us/privacy.
Coordinates are not sent anywhere else and are not linked to your identity.
Internet: to fetch weather forecasts.
Approximate (coarse) location: optional, only if you tap “Use my location”.
Set alarm: lets the timer buttons start a timer in your clock app.
The app does not use background location, the camera, the microphone, your contacts, SMS or accessibility services.
The Photo widget uses Android’s system photo picker. The app can access only the specific photos you select. Nothing is sent off your device.
The app contains no ads, no analytics, no crash-reporting service and no tracking or third-party SDKs that collect data.
The app does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.
Because your data stays on your device, it is protected by your device’s own security (screen lock, encryption). We do not operate any servers that hold your data.
Deny or revoke the location permission at any time in Android Settings → Apps → Dotgrid → Permissions.
Delete all app data with Android Settings → Apps → Dotgrid → Storage → Clear data, or by uninstalling.
If the app’s data practices change, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
