Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 16, 2026
Developer: Vokki
Key Principle
SkeuoLauncher is designed with privacy in mind. We do not operate our own backend servers, analytics systems, advertising systems, or user profiling systems. Launcher data is processed locally on your device, except when you choose optional features that require third-party services such as weather data, Google Play Billing, or external links.
Information We Collect
Local Device Data
Installed Applications:
We read your installed app list, including package names, app names, and icons, to display apps on your home screen. This is essential for launcher functionality.
App Usage Statistics:
With your permission, we access package usage statistics to sort or display recently used applications.
Notification Data:
If you enable notification badges, we read notification counts through Android's NotificationListenerService. The actual notification content is not stored or transmitted.
Location Data:
We may access your device's location only to display local weather information. We do not send location data to our own servers. If weather is enabled, location coordinates may be sent directly to the weather provider to fetch weather data.
Device Status:
We read network connectivity status, Bluetooth state, and phone signal strength solely for displaying status bar indicators.
Purchase Data:
If you choose to leave a tip, purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. The App may receive purchase status, product IDs, and purchase tokens from Google Play to complete and consume the purchase. We do not receive your payment card details or payment account information.
Data You Create
App Layout and Preferences:
Your home screen layout, folder organization, icon customizations, wallpaper selections, and app settings are stored locally on your device.
Custom Icons:
If you assign custom icons to apps, these image files are stored locally.
How We Use Your Information
All data is used solely to provide launcher functionality, including:
Displaying your installed apps on the home screen and dock
Managing app folders and custom layouts
Showing notification badges, if enabled
Displaying weather and system status information
Enabling icon pack customization
Processing optional one-time tips through Google Play Billing
We do not use your data for advertising, targeted marketing, selling to third parties, building user profiles, or any purpose beyond launcher functionality.
Data Storage and Security
Local Storage:
All your data is stored on your device's local storage using Android storage mechanisms such as DataStore, SharedPreferences, and internal file storage.
No Cloud Storage:
We do not upload, back up, or synchronize your launcher data to our own cloud servers.
Android Backup Disabled:
The App disables Android cloud backup for app data.
Limited External Transmission:
Data may leave your device only when needed for optional third-party features, such as fetching weather data, completing a Google Play Billing purchase, opening external links, or using Google Play services.
Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data and do not share data for advertising or profiling.
The only external connections are:
Weather Data:
If you enable weather display, the App may fetch weather information from public weather APIs using your location. This is an optional feature, and location coordinates may be sent directly to the weather provider, not through our servers.
Google Play Billing:
If you leave a tip, Google Play processes the transaction. Google handles payment information under Google's own privacy policy and terms.
Icon Packs:
The App can apply icon packs from other installed applications on your device. No data is shared with icon pack developers.
External Links:
Settings links such as social media, Play Store pages, email, and websites open external apps or websites governed by their own privacy policies.
