Petzy is an Android virtual pet application provided by ZetaWorks.
This Privacy Policy explains how Petzy uses device information, permissions, locally stored content, Android system services, and third-party services.
Petzy does not require a developer-operated account or sign-in.
For privacy questions, contact thyasin70@gmail.com.
Petzy uses Android's Display over other apps permission to display an animated virtual pet and its quick-access menus over other applications.
A foreground service keeps the pet available while you choose to run it. Android displays an ongoing service notification, and you can stop the pet.
Pet appearance, name, preferences, and position settings are stored locally.
Overlay permission does not itself allow Petzy to read text, images, or user input inside other applications.
If you grant Usage Access, Petzy reads Android system-reported interactive-screen statistics to display Screen Time information.
Screen Time reports may be partial, delayed, or unavailable depending on Android's available data and device behavior.
Daily Screen Time goals are stored locally. Petzy does not persist the reported Screen Time totals in its own database.
Screen Time goal-exceeded notifications are currently disabled because a reliable threshold crossing cannot always be established.
Petzy also checks recent foreground-app events locally to support distraction reminders for selected applications. Disabling these reminders prevents the reminder behavior but does not necessarily stop the companion service from checking the current foreground application.
Petzy does not read browsing history or the contents of other applications for these features. It does not send app-usage history to a developer-operated server.
You can revoke Usage Access through Android settings.
If you enable Notification Access, Android allows Petzy's notification-listener service to access active notifications.
Petzy uses notification package names to display indicators for applications you select.
Petzy does not extract notification message text or send notification contents to a developer-operated server.
Your selected application list is stored locally. Active notification indicator information is held in memory.
You can revoke Notification Access through Android settings.
Petzy reads battery percentage, charging status, and power-connection state to support its virtual pet and Battery Assistant features.
Battery alert thresholds, delivery settings, and Quiet Hours preferences are stored locally.
Battery notifications respect Petzy's Quiet Hours settings and Android notification controls.
Focus completion notifications follow their own behavior and Android notification settings.
Petzy stores Focus Timer session information in a local SQLite database.
This may include:
Session state and duration
Completion timestamps
Completed-session history
Timing and recovery information
Petzy uses timing and reboot information to help recover or safely interrupt interrupted sessions.
If Focus storage cannot be read safely, Petzy stops affected Focus operations rather than intentionally deleting the history.
Recovery of damaged or missing information cannot be guaranteed.
Petzy allows you to create and manage personal Notes and Tasks.
The following information is stored in a local SQLite database:
Text you enter
Item identifiers
Creation and modification timestamps
Task completion information
Notes and Tasks are not automatically synchronized through a Petzy-operated cloud service.
Deleting an item requires confirmation.
Uncommitted drafts may survive certain Android state-restoration events, but recovery is not guaranteed after force-stop, task removal, or other interruptions.
Petzy reads information about visible launcher applications, including names, icons, and launch targets, to let you configure App Shortcuts.
Selected application package names and their order are stored locally.
Launching a shortcut opens the selected application, which is subject to its own privacy practices.
Petzy also stores preferences such as theme settings, onboarding choices, companion options, and daily summary counters locally.
Petzy offers a 60-minute trial of eligible virtual pet usage and an optional lifetime in-app purchase.
Local preferences store trial eligibility, committed usage, session checkpoints, and cached lifetime entitlement information.
Interrupted sessions retain previously committed trial consumption. Time that cannot be reliably reconstructed is not automatically counted as consumed usage.
Purchases are handled through Google Play Billing.
Petzy receives purchase-related information necessary to process and acknowledge purchases, including product identifiers, purchase state, and purchase tokens.
Previously verified lifetime access is retained when subsequent Google Play purchase queries fail or return no purchases. The implementation does not apply a time-based expiry to verified lifetime access.
This local entitlement policy does not independently establish whether a purchase has been refunded or revoked.
Google Play and supporting Google services may process account, purchase, application, device, and diagnostic information under their respective privacy policies.
Petzy does not operate its own payment-processing server and does not directly handle payment card credentials.
You may export your saved Notes and Tasks using Android's document picker.
The export creates a UTF-8 JSON file containing saved Notes and Tasks, including their identifiers and timestamps.
Focus history, trial information, and purchase information are not included in this export.
You choose where the file is saved. Petzy does not request broad storage permission for this operation.
The selected document provider may store, synchronize, or upload the exported file according to its own settings and privacy policy.
Exported copies are outside Petzy's control. Deleting a Note or Task inside Petzy does not automatically delete previously exported copies.
Export is not an import or restore feature.
If an export fails or is interrupted, a partial file may remain at the selected destination. Some blocked document-provider operations cannot be immediately interrupted.
Depending on Android settings and the backup provider, system backup or device-to-device transfer may copy configured Petzy databases and preferences.
This may include:
Notes and Tasks
Focus history
Trial consumption information
Cached lifetime entitlement
Application preferences
Some backups may be stored through cloud services managed by Android or your selected backup provider.
Therefore, not every copy of your data necessarily remains on your device.
Backup availability, encryption, retention, storage limits, and restoration behavior depend on Android and the provider.
Petzy cannot guarantee that a backup is complete, current, or recoverable.
After restoration, invalid trial timing anchors are rejected. An active Focus session restored from another installation may be interrupted because its original timing information cannot be trusted.
Older or missing backups may not contain all current records or previously consumed trial time.
A restored lifetime entitlement cache is not independent proof of purchase ownership. Google Play purchase verification and recovery behavior may still apply.
You can manage supported system backup settings through Android.
Petzy does not use a developer-operated cloud synchronization, advertising, or analytics backend for Notes, Tasks, or virtual pet processing.
Petzy integrates AndroidX/Jetpack Compose and Google Play Billing. Supporting Google components may include Google Play services and data-transport libraries.
These components may process information according to their own functionality and privacy practices. Their exact data handling depends on the integrated services and applicable versions.
The presence of a software dependency does not necessarily mean Petzy accesses every capability provided by that dependency.
Google Play, Android backup services, external applications, and user-selected document providers may communicate with their own servers.
For information about Google's data practices, see the Google Privacy Policy.
If you contact Petzy by email, your email address and any information you choose to provide will be processed through the relevant email services.
Petzy stores its local content and preferences until you delete supported items, clear application storage, or uninstall the application, subject to Android behavior and possible storage failures.
Stopping the virtual pet or revoking a permission does not automatically delete Notes, Tasks, or Focus history.
You can manage permissions and notifications through Android settings.
Clearing application storage or uninstalling Petzy may permanently remove local data, including trial records.
Previously exported files and Android backup copies may remain under the control of their respective providers.
Petzy does not maintain a developer-operated Notes or Tasks account that requires separate account deletion.
Depending on the feature, you can:
Start or stop the virtual pet
Change companion settings
Enable or disable distraction reminders
Manage Screen Time goals
Manage Notes and Tasks
Export saved Notes and Tasks
Change notification preferences
Revoke Overlay, Usage Access, or Notification Access through Android settings
Manage supported Android backup settings
Some features may become unavailable when the permissions they require are disabled.
We may update this Privacy Policy when Petzy's features, integrations, or data-handling practices change.
The revision date at the beginning of this document identifies the current policy version.
