Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2025
Canary Vox Apps ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Launcher OS (the "App"). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our App. By using our app, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve the App's functionality:
Collected Data: The app allows you to customize your Android device with iOS-style themes, icons, and widgets. All customization settings, including theme preferences, icon arrangements, and widget configurations, are stored locally on your device. The app does not collect or share personal data with third parties. Any device information used for theme application (such as wallpaper or icon setup) is kept private and remains solely on your device. The app does not transmit data to external servers or third-party services.
App Usage Data: We may collect anonymized app usage data, such as which features are used and how often, to improve the App. This data is collected through third-party services like Firebase Analytics and does not personally identify you.
Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access the App, such as hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers. This data helps improve the performance and compatibility of the App.
All data related to your theme preferences, icon arrangements, and widget configurations is stored locally on your device. We do not upload or store this data on external servers. Any analytics data collected through third-party services (e.g., Firebase) is anonymized to protect your privacy.
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data, including encryption and regular security checks. However, please note that no method of electronic data storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
In-App Purchases: No In-App Purchases have been added to the App as of now, but we may add it in future.
The App itself does not use cookies, but third-party services like Google AdMob or Firebase Analytics may use cookies to collect anonymized information. You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings.
SDP, SSP : The dependencies ssp-android and sdp-android from Intuit are used for scalable size units, specifically ssp (scale-independent pixels for text) and sdp (scalable density pixels for layouts). These are helpful in any app, including an OS Launcher, to ensure consistent, responsive design across different screen sizes and densities. (com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.1.0), (com.intuit.ssp:ssp-android:1.1.0)
Airbnb Lottie: The dependency com.airbnb.android:lottie:6.1.0 is for Lottie, a popular library used to display lightweight, high-quality animations in Android apps. Lottie animations are vector-based and are typically exported from After Effects, making them more efficient than other forms of animation, like GIFs or frame-based animations. (com.airbnb.android:lottie:6.1.0)

(io.github.cymchad:BaseRecyclerViewAdapterHelper:4.0.1)
Green robot: EventBus is a publish/subscribe event system for Android, simplifying communication between components such as Activities, Fragments, or Services.

(org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.2.0)
Pager-Indicator: Provides a customizable pager indicator for ViewPager or ViewPager2, displaying scrollable page positions. For iOS-like home screen pagination (e.g., dots indicating multiple home screens), enhancing navigation clarity and replicating iOS’s page indicator style. (com.github.rbro112:Android-Indefinite-Pager-Indicator:1.5)
Retrofit2: Retrofit is a type-safe HTTP client for making network requests and handling API responses. In iOS Launcher, it is used to fetch dynamic content (e.g., wallpapers, themes, or app data) from a server to provide iOS-like features such as online customization or updates. (com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0)
Retrofit2 converter: Converts JSON responses from Retrofit API calls into Java/Kotlin objects using Gson. Simplifies parsing of server responses for features like fetching iOS-style themes or configurations, ensuring seamless integration of online data. (com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0)
Gson : Gson is a library for serializing and deserializing JSON data to and from Java/Kotlin objects. Used alongside Retrofit to handle JSON data for dynamic content or settings, ensuring compatibility with iOS-like customization features.
(com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.8)
