Privacy Policy

SstarSoft ("we," "our," or "us") built the Screen Awake Widget app as a Free application. This SERVICE is provided by SstarSoft at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page informs website visitors and app users regarding our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information.

1. Information Collection and Use (Zero Data Collection)

We follow a strict privacy-first philosophy. Screen Awake Widget does not collect, store, share, or transmit any personal data, screen content, user behavior, or analytics.

• All operations and preferences (such as theme, language, and timeout durations) are stored and executed 100% locally on your device.

• The app does not request the INTERNET permission for data transmission and does not connect to any external servers.

2. Permissions We Request and Why

To provide its core hardware utility, the app requests specific Android permissions that operate strictly locally on your device:

• Modify System Settings (android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS): Mandatory permission required to read and restore your standard power-saving screen timeout (SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT).

• Display Over Other Apps / Overlay (android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Strongly recommended permission used by our Hybrid Engine. While Awake mode is ON, the app projects an invisible, non-interactive 1x1 pixel window holding the FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON attribute to bypass the 10-minute hardware cutoff enforced by certain manufacturers (e.g., Samsung, Xiaomi). The app never reads, captures, records, or intercepts any screen content or user touches.

• Foreground Service & WakeLock (android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE, WAKE_LOCK): Used only while Awake mode is actively turned ON by the user to run the session countdown timer and provide fallback keep-screen-on support on devices where Display Overlay is not enabled.

• Notifications (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used solely to display the ongoing status notification with one-tap "Turn Off" controls while Awake mode is active, and to alert you if mandatory permissions are missing.

3. Third-Party Services & Voluntary In-App Donations

The app is 100% free and contains no advertisements, no third-party analytics, and no tracking SDKs.

It includes an optional feature for voluntary developer support ("Support the Developer"). All transactions are processed securely and exclusively by Google Play Billing. SstarSoft never accesses, collects, or stores your credit card details, billing address, or financial information. Please refer to the Google Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles payment processing.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13, and we do not collect any personal information from any users, including children.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
