Effective Date: 21-06-2026

This privacy policy explains how Motion Aid ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our Android application. Our core philosophy is simple: your data stays on your phone.

1. Permissions and Local Data Processing

To provide automatic motion sickness relief, our app requires two specific Android system permissions. We use these strictly to operate the app's core mechanics on your local device.

• Physical Activity (ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION):

  • What it does: We use the local Activity Recognition API to monitor device sensors (like the accelerometer) to detect when you are inside a moving vehicle.

  • How it is protected: This motion data is processed ephemerally (in real-time) directly on your device. It is never saved to a database, transmitted to the cloud, sold to third parties, or used for tracking your location.

• Display Over Other Apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW):

  • What it does: We require the ability to draw visual elements on top of other applications.

  • How it is protected: This permission is used exclusively to display the visual motion cues (the moving dots) on the edges of your screen while you use other apps like maps or music. We do not use this permission to track your screen activity or capture keystrokes.

2. Data Collection and Sharing

We do not collect, store, sell, or share any personal data.

• No account creation is required to use the app.

• We do not collect your name, email address, or contact information.

• We do not use third-party analytics trackers or data-harvesting advertising networks.

3. Local Storage

Any settings you configure inside the app (such as dot color, shape, size, or speed sensitivity) are saved locally on your device's internal storage. This data belongs to you and is automatically destroyed by the Android operating system if you uninstall the app.

4. Children's Privacy

Our application does not knowingly collect or transmit personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may occasionally update this privacy policy to remain compliant with Google Play developer policies or to reflect new app features. Any updates will be hosted at this URL.
