Location permission (weather)
In order to show You the weather for Your area, the Application may obtain Your approximate location (for example, a network-based location) on the Welcome page.
Once authorised, the Application transmits Your approximate location to a third-party weather service provider in order to obtain weather data for Your area. We do not continuously track Your real-time location, nor do We use location information for any purpose other than displaying the weather. You may turn off the location permission at any time in the system settings.
Default home screen permission
The Application is an Android launcher and must be set as the default home screen application in the system settings before it can take over Your home screen and icon taps.
This setting is entirely under Your control and can be changed at any time in the system settings. The Application will not modify the default home screen setting on its own without Your action; if it is not set as the default home screen, it exists only as an ordinary application and cannot provide home screen services.

The information obtained is used only to:
* Automatically categorise applications according to rules

* Calculate usage frequency and generate the Frequent set
* Support global search and one-tap organisation
The Application does not read, upload or share any data stored inside those applications.
Storage permission (optional)
When You choose to use a custom wallpaper, the Application will request access to Your storage / photos.
We read only the single image You select in order to set it as the wallpaper. Without Your explicit consent, We will not upload, share or sell any of Your photos or files. If You do not grant this permission, You can still use the wallpapers built into the Application.
Notification permission
In order to provide a better service, the Application may request the notification permission to:
* Deliver schedule event reminders
* Deliver to-do reminders
* Deliver the daily summary
You may turn off the notification permission at any time in the system settings. Once it is disabled, You will no longer receive the above reminders, but the notes and schedule features will continue to work normally.

In order to display the battery widget on the Discover page, the Application reads the battery status information provided by Your device. This information is read and displayed locally on the device only and is not uploaded to Our servers; if the permission is not granted or the information is unavailable, the widget may be incomplete or inaccurate, but all other features remain unaffected.
