InRing is an Android application that displays short animated light effects around the front camera cutout when notifications arrive from applications selected by the user. This Privacy Policy describes the information InRing accesses and processes, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
InRing is designed to perform its notification-light functions locally on your device. You do not need to create an account or sign in.
If you choose to enable Android Notification Access, the operating system permits InRing to receive notification events, including while InRing is not open on the screen. Depending on the notification and Android version, those events may contain the originating application's name or package identifier, notification identifiers and timestamps, sender or title information, and message text.
Although you select which applications may trigger light effects, Android's Notification Access permission can make notifications from other applications available to the notification listener as well. InRing filters events to identify selected applications and ignores events that are not needed for its function.
InRing uses notification information only to determine whether to display a selected animation, avoid duplicate effects, and manage the order of animations. When necessary to distinguish new notifications from updates, limited notification fields may be examined temporarily in device memory. Short-lived, non-readable notification fingerprints may also be kept in memory to prevent duplicates. These temporary records expire and are discarded when the process ends.
InRing does not create a message history, store notification titles or message bodies in a database, read message attachments for its light effects, or transmit notification content to Krepel Studio, advertisers, or external servers. It does not modify, dismiss, or send notifications on your behalf.
To let you select notification sources, InRing accesses the application information Android makes available to it, such as app names, package identifiers, and icons. This information is used to display the application list and associate your chosen light style with an application. Your installed-app list is not uploaded to our servers or used for advertising.
InRing stores your configuration locally on your device. This may include the applications you enable, their selected animation styles, animation duration, theme, language, haptic-feedback preference, and whether required in-app disclosures have been acknowledged.
InRing may also read display and camera-cutout geometry provided by Android to position a light effect. It does not access the camera sensor or capture photos, videos, or screen recordings.
InRing uses the following Android capabilities for its stated functions:
Notification Access: to detect notification events from your selected applications and avoid duplicate light effects. You enable this explicitly in Android settings.
Display over other apps: to show a brief, non-interactive light effect on top of other apps when Android permits it. This does not allow InRing to record your screen or control your taps.
Application visibility: to obtain the names, package identifiers, and icons of applications made visible by Android for selection in InRing.
Haptic feedback: to provide optional feedback for your interactions with the InRing interface, subject to your preference and device settings.
Network access for Google Play Billing, where needed: to offer, confirm, and restore an optional one-time Pro purchase.
InRing does not require camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, SMS, or general file-storage access for its notification-light function.
You can decline or revoke Notification Access and display-over-other-apps access through Android settings. Without the necessary access, the related live notification effect will not work, but available settings and style previews may still be used.
InRing offers an optional one-time Lifetime Pro purchase through Google Play Billing. Google handles payment processing under its own terms and privacy practices. InRing may receive information provided by Google Play that is necessary to recognize, acknowledge, or restore the purchase, such as the purchased product identifier, purchase status, and purchase-related identifiers or tokens.
We do not receive or store your full payment-card details. Purchase information is used for purchase functionality and entitlement management, not advertising. Google may process transaction and account information independently under the Google Privacy Policy.
InRing does not sell personal information or send notification contents, installed-application lists, or your locally saved light-style preferences to Krepel Studio's servers or advertising services.
InRing is designed without third-party advertising, AdMob, advertising identifiers, analytics tracking, user accounts, or a developer-operated cloud-sync service.
Google Play Billing is used for optional purchase transactions. Its communications and data handling are governed by Google's applicable policies. Opening the Privacy Policy link or contacting support may also involve your browser or email provider, which operates under its own privacy terms.
Local application settings are retained on your device until you change them, clear InRing's app data, or uninstall the app. Notification contents are not saved to persistent storage. Temporary notification-processing information and duplicate-detection fingerprints are kept in memory only for the limited time needed to process events.
Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling InRing removes the app's locally stored configuration, subject to Android's device-management behavior. This does not erase purchase records maintained independently by Google Play.
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to respond to your request and retain correspondence only as needed for support, legitimate business purposes, or applicable legal requirements. You may request deletion of support correspondence by contacting us.
We aim to minimize the information InRing processes and rely on Android's application isolation and permission controls for locally stored data. Notification content is not intentionally included in application logs, analytics, or remote crash reports. Google Play purchase communications are handled through Google's billing systems.
No software or method of electronic data handling is completely risk-free. We review the app's permissions and third-party components as part of release preparation.
You can choose which applications trigger effects, change or disable their styles, adjust application preferences, and withdraw special Android permissions at any time. You may also clear the app's data or uninstall InRing.
InRing does not create a Krepel Studio user account, so there is no in-app account to delete. For questions about information you have voluntarily sent to our support email, or to request its deletion, contact us at Krepelstudio@gmail.com.
InRing is a general-purpose device customization utility and is not specifically directed at children. We do not intentionally use the app to collect children's personal information for advertising or profiling.
We may update this Privacy Policy when InRing's features, permissions, third-party services, or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised text with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes to data access or processing may also require an updated in-app disclosure.
