Privacy Policy – Duo Launcher OS

Duo Launcher OS ("the app") is a home-screen launcher for Android. Your home screen layout and settings stay on your device. This policy explains what the app uses and what leaves your device.

What stays on your device

Home layout (pages, dock, widgets, folders), app launch counts (for "Most used" and suggestions), settings, drawer folders and groups, wallpapers and Photo & Clock widget photos you choose. None of this is sent to us. Backup files are written only where you choose.

Permissions and optional features

• Contacts (optional): only if you turn on contacts in search. Contacts are read on the device while you type and are never stored or sent.

• Notification access (optional, off by default): used only to show a count of notifications on app icons. Notification text is never read or stored.

• Device admin (optional, off by default): used only to lock the screen when you double-tap the home screen. No other admin policy is used.

• Notifications (optional): an occasional tip about the app. You can turn it off at any time.

• Voice search: handled by your device's speech recogniser; the app only receives the recognised text.

• Photos: chosen through the system photo picker; the app does not get access to your gallery.

• Uninstall: the "Uninstall" action only opens the system uninstall screen for the app you chose.

Advertising

The app shows ads from Google AdMob (for example in the app drawer, settings, wallpaper picker and on the first launch). To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process your device's advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, device and app information, and ad interactions. Where required by law (for example in the EEA and UK), you are asked for consent first, and you can change your choice later from the app's settings (Privacy options). Google's policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

What leaves your device

• Advertising ID, approximate location (from IP), device and app info, ad interactions — Sent to: Google AdMob — Why: Showing and measuring ads, fraud prevention

• Random install ID, package name, app version, OS version, device model, time zone — Sent to: The developer's install-report server — Why: One install report per install, to count installs. Not linked to your identity

• A request for the app's ad settings (no personal data is included) — Sent to: The developer's server (softxsolution.com), at most once a day — Why: Turning ad placements on or off without an app update

We never send the names of apps you open, your search text, your contacts or your notifications. The launcher does not use your precise location and does not download weather; a weather widget you place comes from your device's own weather app.

Your choices

You can deny or revoke any permission in system settings; turn off notifications, badges, contacts in search and double-tap lock in the app's settings; change your ad consent from the app's Privacy options; reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings; or uninstall the app to stop all collection.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the date above will change. Questions: support@softxsolution.com.
