1. Information We Collect
We deliberately avoid collecting any personal identifying information (such as your legal name, physical address, email address, phone number, or contacts).
The only technical data collected is:
- Hardware Device Identifier (Android ID): A non-reversible hardware string provided by the Android OS (`android_id`). This identifier is sent securely to RevenueCat (our in-app purchase infrastructure provider) solely to tie your device to your one-time Lifetime Plan purchase. This allows you to restore your purchase seamlessly without needing an email registration or account password.
2. Information Stored Strictly On Your Local Device
All functionality provided by NotifyLog executes locally in sandboxed storage on your device:
- Notification Content: Alert titles, message previews, notification text, sender display names, and app package names.
- Deleted Chat Records: Notification history preserved in the Vault tab before messages were retracted by senders.
- App Preferences: Your selected theme (Dark / Light) and onboarding status.
All of this data is saved exclusively inside the local private app sandbox using Hive key-value storage. We maintain zero external database servers, zero cloud backup pipelines, and zero telemetry tracking your notification content.
3. Android System Permissions & Purpose
NotifyLog requests the following permissions for the explicit functioning of the app:
- Notification Access (`BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE`): Required by the Android operating system to allow the app's background service to receive incoming notification events and save them into your local on-device database.
- Ignore Battery Optimizations (`REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS`): Prevents Android manufacturer power managers (e.g. Samsung, Xiaomi, Infinix) from killing the notification listener service during system Doze mode.
- Post Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`): Required on Android 13+ to display operational service status and notifications if enabled.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We do not partner with advertising networks, behavioral tracking tools, or data brokers.
The only third-party service used is:
- RevenueCat: Used solely to manage in-app billing transactions and verify your Lifetime Plan entitlement. RevenueCat processes the hardware device identifier and Google Play receipt data according to their strict privacy policy: RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
5. Advertising & Data Selling
NotifyLog is 100% ad-free. We do not display Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Facebook Audience Network, or any programmatic banner/interstitial advertising. We do not sell, rent, or monetize your data under any circumstances.
6. Data Retention & How to Delete Your Data
Because all notification logs and recovery vaults reside entirely on your physical smartphone:
- You can delete all logs at any time from within the app settings.
- You can clear the app's storage via Android Settings → Apps → NotifyLog → Clear Storage.
- Uninstalling the app immediately and permanently wipes 100% of your notification records from your phone.
7. Children's Privacy
Our application does not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area).
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product updates or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted to this page with an updated "Effective Date."
