Privacy Policy – Software Update App
Effective Date: October 16, 2026
Software Update App (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) provides tools to check for potentially available app updates, manage installed applications, view device information, check internet speed, review storage information, and access app usage details.
We respect your privacy and are committed to handling information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains the permissions we use, the information our app may access, and how information may be processed when you use our services.
1. Information We Access
Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, the app may access the following information:
A. Installed Application Information
The app may access information about installed applications to provide app management features, including:
- Application names and package identifiers.
- Available app version information.
- App size and installation details, where available.
- Information needed to check for potentially available updates.
- App links saved for accessing previously uninstalled applications.
This information is used to display installed apps, support app management, and help users find relevant app listings. Update availability depends on the information accessible through Android and supported app stores.
B. Device Information**
The app may access technical information about your device, including:
- Device model and manufacturer, where available.
- Android version, SDK version, and API level.
- Processor and RAM information.
- Storage capacity and usage information.
- Battery and display specifications.
- Network details and available sensors.
- Camera specifications and resolution, where accessible.
This information is used to display device specifications and provide the app's diagnostic and informational features.
C. App Usage Information
If you manually enable Usage Access in Android settings, the app may access permitted application usage information to display usage details.
Usage Access is optional. You can revoke this access at any time through your device settings. If access is not granted, the app usage feature may not function.
D. Network Information
The app may access network connectivity information and perform internet speed tests. Depending on the test implementation, network-related information may include download speed, upload speed, and ping latency.
Actual results may vary depending on your internet connection, network conditions, and test server.
**E. Notifications**
If you grant notification permission, the app may display notifications for supported features. You can manage notification access through your device settings.
## 2. Permissions and Their Purposes
Our app uses the following Android permissions to support its advertised functionality:
**INTERNET**
Allows the app to access online services required for supported features, such as internet speed testing and retrieving online app information where applicable.
**ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE**
Allows the app to check network connectivity status and determine whether an internet connection is available.
**POST_NOTIFICATIONS**
Allows the app to display notifications on supported Android versions, subject to your permission and notification settings.
**QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES**
Allows the app to identify and display installed applications for supported app management features, including app update checks and app selection for uninstallation. This permission is used for the app's declared functionality.
**REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES**
Allows the app to request the uninstallation of eligible applications. Android may display a system confirmation, and the user must approve the request. This permission does not independently allow silent uninstallation.
**PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS**
Supports the app usage feature by allowing access to permitted application usage information after you enable Usage Access in Android settings.
We use these permissions only for their intended app functionality. Some features may be unavailable if the necessary permissions are not granted.
## 3. How We Use Information
Information accessed through the app may be used to:
- Display installed and system applications.
- Check for potentially available application updates.
- Provide app management and uninstall options.
- Save or access app links for reinstalling applications where available.
- Display Android OS and device specifications.
- Show storage capacity and available storage information.
- Perform internet speed tests.
- Display app usage information when authorized.
- Provide supported notifications.
- Maintain the functionality, reliability, and security of the app.
The app does not guarantee that all applications can be updated or uninstalled, or that system updates can be installed directly. These actions depend on Android restrictions, device compatibility, and the relevant app store or manufacturer.
## 4. Data Storage and Retention
Some information, such as saved app links or information needed to display app details, may be stored locally on your device, depending on the implementation.
Information stored locally may remain available until you delete it, clear the app's data, uninstall the app, or otherwise remove it.
Information transmitted to external services, if any, may be retained according to the applicable service provider's policies and settings.
We retain information only for as long as necessary for the relevant purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements. The actual retention practices depend on the app's implementation and any third-party services it uses.
## 5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not intend to sell users' personal information. Information may be processed by third-party services when required for features implemented in the app.
For example, the app may interact with:
- Google Play Store or other official app listing services when you open an app listing.
- Internet speed test servers used to measure network performance.
- Advertising or analytics providers, if such services are integrated into the app.
Third-party services may process information under their own privacy policies and terms. Opening an external app listing or website is subject to the privacy practices of that service.
Please review the applicable third-party privacy policies for more information about how those services handle data.
## 6. Advertising and Analytics
If the app includes advertising or analytics SDKs, those providers may collect or process certain information according to their configuration and applicable policies. This may include advertising identifiers, app interaction events, device information, diagnostics, or other data disclosed by the relevant SDK.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of the applicable providers.
If the app does not include advertising or analytics SDKs, this section should be updated or removed before publication. Our actual data collection and sharing practices are described by the app's implementation and applicable disclosures.
## 7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures appropriate to the app's implementation to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Users should keep their devices secure and review the permissions granted to installed applications.
## 8. Children's Privacy
The app is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through a service associated with our app, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.
Any applicable age restrictions, child-directed design, advertising practices, and legal requirements must be addressed according to the app's actual audience and implementation.
## 9. Your Choices and Controls
You can manage your privacy choices through your Android device settings. Depending on your device and Android version, you may be able to:
- Revoke Usage Access.
- Manage notification permissions.
- Restrict network access through device settings where supported.
- Clear the app's stored data.
- Uninstall the app.
Revoking a permission may prevent the associated feature from working correctly.
You can also choose whether to use optional features that require additional access.
## 10. App Updates and Uninstallation
The app helps users check for potentially available updates and access relevant app listings. It does not directly install application updates or Android system updates.
App uninstallation requests are subject to Android's system controls and required user confirmation. Saved app links may help users revisit app listings, but they do not restore deleted application data or guarantee that an app remains available.
## 11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our app features, permissions, services, or legal obligations change.
Any revised version will be published at the designated Privacy Policy URL, with an updated effective date where appropriate. We encourage users to review this page periodically.
