Privacy Policy
We don't collect, store, or transmit your data, period.
Why physically can't. We have nowhere to store it. We don't even have a server database to store it. So even if Justin Bieber asked nicely to see your data, we wouldn't have anything to show him.
For the "Tracing" feature, the following information of notification is kept around within the App for a while: application id, notification id, notification channel id. At your discretion, and when the tracing feature is disabled, all data stored is deleted.
For the logging feature, the following information of notification is kept around within the App: application id, notification id, notification channel id. For your personal use, or when requesting support for the app, you may choose to share this using an Email app. In this case the log data is put into the Email body plain and unencrypted so you can review the data about to be sent. At your discretion, or when the logging feature is disabled, all data stored is deleted.
Glimpse Notifications does not use the Internet. When sending Log information, the process of sending is deferred to an Email app of your choice.
The FAQ Document describes why and when certain permissions are used by the App.
