1. Overview
Notification Lock-Screen Guard ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting your personal privacy. This app is designed as an on-device privacy tool that intercepts, encrypts, and manages incoming notifications locally on your device. We operate under a strict Zero Data Collection policy.
2. Information We Process & Android Permissions
To provide core privacy, notification interception, and utility features, The app requests access to specific Android permissions locally on your device:
Notification Access & Alerts (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used to intercept incoming notifications, replace them with neutral stubs, and display locked system notifications.
Foreground Services (FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE): Keeps the privacy protection engine running continuously in the background to mask notifications instantly as they arrive.
System Overlay (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Enables display overlay features such as the Privacy Display angle tint and lock screen protection windows.
Device Startup & Alarms (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, WAKE_LOCK): Ensures notification protection starts automatically when your phone reboots and manages scheduled privacy modes (Work, Sleep, Study) accurately.
Microphone Access / Voice Search: Used solely to enable hands-free voice search within the app (e.g., searching languages or options by speaking instead of typing).
Device Control & Network (VIBRATE, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Provides haptic feedback for PIN entries and checks basic network state for core application operations.
Important: None of your notification contents, sender names, app logs, or PIN credentials ever leave your physical device. We do not transmit, upload, or sync your data to external servers or cloud services.
