2. Privacy Policy

Minimal is designed to be respectful of your privacy. This section explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

• App Usage (optional): If you grant Usage Access permission, we read usage events locally on your device to show daily screen time. Raw data is not sent to our servers.
• Analytics: We may use privacy‑friendly analytics (e.g., Firebase Analytics) to understand feature usage and improve the app. This can include anonymous event data like button taps or screen views. Personal identifiers are not collected by us.
• Pinned Apps: Your pinned apps are stored locally on your device only.

How We Use Information

• Provide core features such as app launching, pinned apps, and alphabetical navigation.
• Display on‑device summaries like screen time (when permission is granted).
• Improve stability and user experience through aggregated analytics.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. Aggregated analytics may be processed by third‑party providers (e.g., Google/Firebase) under their own privacy policies.

Permissions

• Usage Access: Optional; used only to compute and display your daily screen time within the app.
• Internet: Used for opening web links and fetching remote resources if needed (e.g., updates or crash reporting).

Your Choices

• You can disable Usage Access at any time in system settings; screen time will then be unavailable.
• You can clear app data to remove locally stored preferences (like pinned apps).
• If analytics are enabled, you can opt out via system settings for Ads/Analytics where available.

Children’s Privacy

Minimal is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
