Privacy Policy – Notchly

Privacy Policy – Notchly

Effective Date: April 2026

1. Introduction

Notchly (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy.

Notchly is an Android app designed to let users trigger shortcuts, actions, and quick interactions from the device’s notch area or top-screen gesture zone, including optional accessibility-powered features and optional contact shortcuts.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using the App.

By installing or using Notchly, you agree to this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide or Configure

Notchly may allow you to provide, choose, or configure information such as:

• App preferences and settings

• Selected shortcut actions

• Chosen apps for quick launch

• Optional contact shortcuts you select

• Notch menu configuration

• Premium feature preferences

• Theme, language, and personalization settings

Most of this information may be stored locally on your device.

b) Contacts Access

If you choose to use features that allow quick access to people from the notch menu or shortcut area, Notchly may request access to your contacts through the READ_CONTACTS permission.

If granted, Notchly uses contact access only to:

• Let you browse and select contacts inside the app

• Show contact names or related shortcut data you choose to configure

• Enable contact-based quick actions you explicitly set up

Notchly does not collect, sell, or share your full contact list for advertising or unrelated purposes.

Contact data is accessed only as needed to provide the contact shortcut feature you choose to use.

If you do not want to grant contact access, you can still use Notchly without contact-based features.

c) Accessibility Service

Some core Notchly features may require enabling Android’s Accessibility Service.

If you enable Accessibility Service for Notchly, the service is used only to provide the app’s requested functionality, such as:

• Detecting configured gesture interactions

• Triggering selected shortcuts or actions

• Supporting notch-based interaction features

• Improving the reliability of accessibility-powered app behavior

Notchly does not use Accessibility Service to sell your data or for advertising purposes.

Notchly does not intentionally use Accessibility data to read, collect, or share personal content beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide the app’s core functionality.

d) Automatically Collected Information

To improve performance, stability, and user experience, we may collect limited non-personal technical information such as:

• Device model

• Android version

• App version

• Anonymous usage metrics

• Crash reports

• Diagnostic data

• Basic interaction events related to app features

This data is:

• Aggregated or de-identified where possible

• Used to improve app quality, reliability, and usability

• Not intended to personally identify you

3. How We Use Information

We use information only as needed to operate and improve Notchly, including to:

• Enable shortcut and notch interaction features

• Save your app configuration and preferences

• Support optional contact shortcuts

• Improve performance and stability

• Diagnose crashes and technical issues

• Manage premium functionality and entitlement status

• Improve the overall product experience

4. Premium Features and Purchases

Notchly may offer optional premium features or subscriptions.

All payments are processed securely through Google Play Billing.

We do not collect or store:

• Payment card information

• Billing addresses

• Payment credentials

All billing and purchase processing is handled directly by Google Play.

5. Advertising

Notchly may display ads in the App, including ads served by third-party partners such as Google AdMob, depending on the version of the app and your subscription status.

Advertising providers may collect or receive certain device-level or technical information to:

• Serve ads

• Measure ad performance

• Prevent fraud

• Improve advertising services

Depending on your region, device settings, and consent choices, this may include identifiers such as the Android Advertising ID, approximate device information, app interaction signals, and diagnostic information.

Notchly does not sell your contacts, Accessibility data, or personal shortcut content to advertisers.

Where required by law, we may request consent before showing personalized ads or before allowing certain advertising-related data processing.

6. Data Storage

Your preferences, selected shortcuts, chosen contacts for shortcuts, and related configuration data may be stored locally on your device.

If the app uses third-party services for analytics, diagnostics, billing, or advertising, only the data reasonably necessary for those services may be processed.

If you uninstall Notchly, locally stored app data may be removed from your device, subject to Android system behavior.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share limited data only with service providers that help operate the app, such as:

• Crash reporting providers

• Analytics providers

• Billing providers

• Advertising providers

These providers may process limited technical information solely for the purpose of delivering their services.

We do not share your contacts for unrelated business purposes.

8. Permissions and Your Choices

You may choose whether to grant certain permissions, including:

• Contacts permission

• Notification permission

• Accessibility Service access, where applicable

You can revoke permissions at any time through Android system settings.

Please note that some features may stop working or may have limited functionality if required permissions are denied or disabled.

9. Notifications

Notchly may send local notifications if you grant notification permission.

These notifications may be used for:

• Feature reminders

• Product updates

• General app engagement

You can disable notifications at any time through Android system settings or the app’s settings screen, if available.

10. Children’s Privacy

Notchly is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can review the situation.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to reduce privacy and security risks.

However, no digital system is 100% secure.

Because much of Notchly’s data may be stored locally on your device, your privacy and security also depend in part on your device protections.

We recommend using device-level protections such as:

• Screen lock

• PIN

• Password

• Biometrics

12. Your Rights and Controls

You may:

• Use or stop using the App at any time

• Revoke permissions

• Disable Accessibility Service

• Remove configured shortcuts or contact actions

• Disable notifications

• Uninstall the App to remove locally stored data, subject to Android system behavior

You remain in control of the permissions you grant and the features you use.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Notchly evolves.

When we update it, we will:

• Update the Effective Date

• Publish the revised Privacy Policy

Your continued use of the App after changes become effective indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
