Privacy Policy — iPhone 18 Inspired Launcher

Effective Date: October 11, 2026
Last Updated: October 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how iPhone 18 Inspired Launcher (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) accesses, processes, stores, and uses information when you use the App.

iPhone 18 Inspired Launcher is an Android home-screen replacement and personalization application. It provides launcher features such as app organization, icon customization, widgets, wallpapers, Control Center-style tools, Dynamic Island-style notification and media experiences, folders, search, dock customization, gestures, and other personalization features.

We aim to process launcher-related information primarily on your device. Some third-party services used for advertising, analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, consent management, and configuration may collect or process information as described below.


1. Information About Installed Applications

The App requires access to information about applications installed on your device because displaying, organizing, searching, and launching installed apps is a core function of a launcher.

The App may access information such as:

The App uses this information for features such as:

The App uses QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES because a launcher needs visibility of installed launchable applications that cannot all be known in advance. The current source contains no explicit functionality that uploads a complete installed-app inventory to our own server. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Users may intentionally use Android sharing features to share information about an app, such as an app name, package name, or Play Store link, with another application.


2. Dynamic Island and Notification Access

The App includes a Dynamic Island-style experience that can display supported notification, media, charging, timer, call-related, and activity information.

To provide these features, the App may ask you to enable Android Notification Access.

The App uses Android's NotificationListenerService, protected by BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE. Notification access is enabled manually by the user through Android system settings. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

When enabled, the App may access notification information including:

Notification content may sometimes contain personal or sensitive information, such as:

The App does not require contact, SMS, or call-log permissions to display information that is already present inside notifications. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Notification Data Processing

Notification information used by Dynamic Island is processed primarily in application memory for presenting the feature.

The current source audit found:

Notification events are normally kept in volatile application memory until they are removed, dismissed, reconciled, the listener reconnects, the service is destroyed, or the application process ends. Ordinary notification events should not be interpreted as automatically deleted after five seconds; the short preview duration is separate from event retention in the expanded Dynamic Island interface. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Disabling notification access prevents the App from continuing to receive notification-listener events.


3. Media Session Information

When notification access and supported media functionality are enabled, the App may access media-session information such as:

The App may allow supported actions such as:

Media-session information is used to provide Dynamic Island and related media controls.

No explicit upload of this media information through the App's own code was found during the current source audit. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


4. Notification Privacy Controls

The App may provide options relating to:

Please note that hiding notification previews changes what is displayed by the App. It does not necessarily prevent Android's notification listener from receiving notification information while notification access remains enabled.

You can revoke Notification Access at any time through Android settings.


5. Usage Access

The current version of the App does not request Android Usage Access and does not use PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS or UsageStatsManager.

Suggested-app functionality is based on launch activity recorded locally by the launcher itself rather than Android-wide screen-time or usage statistics from other applications. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


6. Accessibility

The current version of the App does not implement an Android Accessibility Service.

It does not request accessibility-service binding access for launcher functionality. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


7. Draw Over Other Apps / System Overlay

The current App does not request SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW and does not use Android's TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY.

The Dynamic Island-style interface is displayed within the App's activity/window and should not be interpreted as a system-level floating overlay displayed above every other application. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


8. Home Screen Preferences and Launcher Data

The App may store launcher preferences locally, including:

This information is used to remember your launcher setup and preferences.

The current implementation primarily uses Android DataStore, SharedPreferences, app-private files, runtime memory, and related Android storage facilities. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


9. Android Backup and Device Transfer

Android backup is enabled for portions of the App's local data.

Depending on your Android/device backup configuration, some application preferences, custom icons, widget photos, or other eligible local files may be transferred using Android backup or device-to-device migration services.

Therefore, local customization information should not be interpreted as being guaranteed to remain physically on one device under all circumstances.

Notification-event memory itself is not persisted as part of the App's normal local backup data. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


10. Photos and Custom Images

The App can allow you to select images for features such as:

The App does not currently request broad storage permissions such as:

Instead, Android file/document selection mechanisms are used so that you choose the specific image to provide to the App.

Selected widget photos may be copied into the App's private storage. Custom app icons may also be stored locally for continued use. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

The App does not intentionally upload these selected images to our own server.

Eligible local files may, however, be included in Android backup/device transfer depending on your device configuration.


11. Camera Permission

The App may request the CAMERA permission for flashlight functionality.

The App uses Android camera-management APIs to control the device torch where supported.

The current implementation does not use the camera permission to:

A camera shortcut may open your device's separate camera application. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


12. Microphone

The current App does not request the RECORD_AUDIO permission and does not implement microphone audio recording. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


13. Bluetooth

The App may use Bluetooth-related permissions to:

For supported Android versions, this may include BLUETOOTH_CONNECT.

The current implementation does not perform Bluetooth device scanning and was not found to collect:

CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


14. Location

The App does not currently request:

No GPS, fused-location provider, Bluetooth scanning, or location-manager implementation was found in the current App source. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

However, third-party advertising and analytics services may process network information such as IP addresses and may derive approximate location from such information according to their own privacy practices.


15. Wi-Fi and Network State

The App may read basic Wi-Fi or network state for supported Control Center and networking functionality.

The current source does not use Wi-Fi scanning to collect SSIDs, BSSIDs, or nearby Wi-Fi networks.

Internet access is also required by third-party advertising, Firebase services, consent systems, and Remote Config.


16. Modify System Settings

Certain optional features may require Android's Modify System Settings special access (WRITE_SETTINGS).

Depending on device support, this can be used for:

Android may require you to manually grant this special access through system settings.

The App should explain why access is requested before directing you to Android's special-access settings. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


17. Do Not Disturb / Focus Access

The App declares ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY for supported Focus/Do Not Disturb functionality.

The current implementation may read the current interruption/Focus state and can direct you to Android's Focus/Do Not Disturb settings.

The present implementation does not directly switch the Android interruption filter on or off from the Control Center button. The button opens the relevant Android system settings where available. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


18. Wallpapers

The App provides wallpaper customization functionality.

The current version may use:

Wallpaper artwork in the audited version is bundled with the application rather than obtained from a custom remote wallpaper download service. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

The App may allow you to apply wallpapers to supported home-screen and lock-screen locations.


19. Cinematic Wallpaper Effects

Supported cinematic wallpaper features may use device sensors such as:

These sensors can be used locally to create motion, parallax, depth, or similar visual effects.

The current implementation contains no explicit upload of this sensor information. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


20. Widgets

The App may provide built-in and Android-provider widgets.

Built-in widgets may process information such as:

The current source does not contain an explicit upload path for this built-in widget information. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Third-party Android widget providers operate according to the permissions and privacy practices of their respective applications.


21. Calendar Widget

The App's built-in calendar display generates date information using Android/Java date and calendar APIs.

The current version does not request:

It does not read your private calendar events for the built-in calendar display. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


22. Ringtones and Audio

The App may include bundled audio files that can be previewed and applied as supported:

When applying supported tones, the App may create a copy in Android MediaStore and set that media item as the appropriate default tone.

The App does not scan your full audio library as part of the audited implementation.

Copies placed into shared MediaStore storage may remain on the device even after you clear the App's private data or uninstall the App. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


23. Contacts, SMS, Phone and Call Logs

The current App does not request:

The launcher may open external Phone, Contacts, or SMS applications through shortcuts.

The App may also determine which application is configured as the default phone or SMS handler for purposes such as dock recommendations. This does not itself read your phone number, call history, contact database, or SMS database.

Notification access may nevertheless display notification content generated by messaging or calling applications. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


Third-Party Services

24. Google Mobile Ads

The App uses Google Mobile Ads SDK for advertising.

The audited project declares Google Mobile Ads SDK version 24.4.0.

Supported advertising formats may include:

Not every ad format is necessarily displayed in every session or screen.

Google's advertising technologies may process information such as:

Actual collection and advertising behavior can vary based on:

CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


25. User Messaging Platform — Consent

The App uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to support advertising consent requirements where applicable.

The audited project declares UMP version 3.1.0.

UMP may:

The App checks consent status before supported ad requests.

UMP advertising consent should not be interpreted as a global switch controlling every Firebase service used by the App. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


26. Firebase Analytics

The App includes Firebase Analytics.

Firebase Analytics may process information about App usage and interactions, together with technical and installation identifiers, according to Google's Firebase privacy and data-processing practices.

The current audit did not identify active custom analytics calls containing notification content or user account information, but Firebase Analytics may collect automatically generated application usage data. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


27. Firebase Crashlytics

Firebase Crashlytics is used to help identify crashes and improve application stability.

Crashlytics may process information such as:

The App does not intentionally send notification titles or notification text to Crashlytics through a custom implementation identified in the source audit. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


28. Firebase Performance Monitoring

Firebase Performance Monitoring may be used to understand application performance.

It may process technical information relating to:

The purpose is to diagnose and improve application performance. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


29. Firebase Remote Config

Firebase Remote Config is used to obtain configuration values that allow certain App behavior to be adjusted without requiring a new App release.

Examples may include advertising or feature configuration.

Remote Config may process installation-related and technical information required to obtain configuration values.

The App does not use Remote Config as an account or user-profile database. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


30. Firebase Messaging

The current audited version does not include an active Firebase Cloud Messaging implementation.

The App does not currently request POST_NOTIFICATIONS for Firebase Messaging.

Dynamic Island notification functionality instead relies on user-enabled Android Notification Listener access. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


31. Purchases and Billing

The current audited version does not contain an active Google Play Billing purchase or subscription implementation.

Premium/rewarded wallpaper access identified in the audited project is associated with rewarded advertising rather than a verified paid subscription implementation. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


Data Sharing and Storage

32. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect Through Our Own Account System

The current App does not provide a developer-operated account or profile-registration system.

We do not intentionally ask you to create an account containing:

The App currently has no verified Firebase Authentication or custom account backend. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


33. Personal Information Inside User Content

Some information processed locally may itself contain personal information.

Examples include:

The presence of this content does not mean the App operates a personal-profile database.


34. External Sharing

Information may leave the App in certain circumstances, including:


35. No Custom App Backend Identified

The current source audit found no developer-operated:

This statement applies to the audited application source and does not mean Google Mobile Ads, Firebase, external browser destinations, third-party widget providers, or other SDKs do not communicate with their own servers. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


36. Local Data Retention

Launcher preferences generally remain stored until:

Custom icons and widget photos may remain in App-private storage until they are removed, replaced, cleaned up, or the App data is cleared.

Notification events used by Dynamic Island are normally retained only in process memory for the relevant notification/service lifecycle.

SDK-managed information may have different retention periods controlled by the relevant service provider.

CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


37. Deleting Your Data

Because the App currently does not have a developer-operated user account, there is no account deletion process.

You can remove most locally stored App information by:

You can revoke special access such as Notification Access or Modify System Settings through Android settings.

Please note that files intentionally created in shared Android storage, such as applied ringtone MediaStore files, may remain after the App is cleared or uninstalled and may need to be removed separately through Android or a file/media manager. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Android/cloud backup copies are controlled by your device, Google account, device manufacturer, and Android backup settings.


38. Application Logs

The App may create technical logs during operation.

The source audit identified some logs that can include package names, customized app names, launcher actions, or ringtone information.

The App does not intentionally log notification title/text through the identified notification listener flow.

Technical logs may be used to troubleshoot application behavior. Crashlytics operates separately and may transmit crash and diagnostic information according to its service behavior. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


39. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect information handled by the App.

Where third-party services communicate over the Internet, standard secure networking mechanisms provided by Android and the relevant service providers are used.

However, no electronic storage or transmission technology can guarantee absolute security.

You should also protect access to your device because notification access and launcher personalization can expose information visible on your device.


40. Permissions

Depending on Android version and features used, the App may use permissions or special-access capabilities including:

Not every permission is required for basic launcher functionality. Optional features may require their relevant permissions or special access. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…

Google advertising libraries included with the App may access advertising-related identifiers where permitted by:

The generated release manifest includes advertising-related permissions introduced by Google advertising services. CURRENT_PRO_PRIVACY_DATA_SAFETY…


42. Children's Privacy

The App is intended as a general launcher and personalization application and is not specifically designed for children under 13.

We do not knowingly operate a system for collecting children's names, contact information, or account profiles.

Because the App uses advertising and analytics technologies, parents or guardians should supervise device and application use by children where applicable.

Advertising consent and age-related treatment may also be governed by Google advertising settings, applicable law, and Play Console configuration.


43. Third-Party Applications and Services

The launcher can open third-party applications and system applications installed on your device.

It may also interact with:

We do not control the privacy practices of these external applications or providers.

You should review their privacy policies separately.


44. Third-Party Privacy Policies
