Privacy Policy for App Lock

Effective Date: September 2026

1. Introduction

App Lock ("we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through our mobile application.

2. Information Collection and Use

We do not collect any personal information. All data processed by the app stays locally on your device.

3. Sensitive Permissions

Our app uses the following sensitive permissions to function:

A. Usage Access (UsageStatsManager):

- Purpose: We use Usage Access permission to detect when a locked application is brought to the foreground. This allows us to display our lock screen and protect your privacy.

- Privacy: We DO NOT collect, store, or transmit any data from the applications you interact with. We only monitor package names locally on your device to determine if a lock is required.

B. Device Administrator:

- Purpose: We use Device Administrator permission to provide "Uninstall Protection." This prevents unauthorized users from uninstalling the app to bypass its security.

- Privacy: This permission is used solely for system-level protection and does not involve any data collection.

4. Data Security

All app settings, including your PIN (which is stored as a secure SHA-256 hash) and the list of protected apps, are stored in your device's private storage.

5. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. No data is transmitted to third parties.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
