2. Data Collection & Storage

2.1 Data Collected Directly by SafeScreen

NONE. SafeScreen does not collect any personal data.

The app operates entirely locally on your device. No data is transmitted to our servers because we do not have any servers.

2.2 Data Stored Locally

This data NEVER leaves your device.

4. Advertising Consent Management

If you are using the free version of SafeScreen, ads are provided by Google AdMob. Depending on your region, you will be presented with a consent form (UMP) upon the first launch allowing you to choose whether to receive personalized or non-personalized ads.

You can manage your ad preferences at any time in your Android device settings (Settings → Google → Ads) or by purchasing the Premium version, which removes all ads entirely.

5. Android Permissions Used

SafeScreen requests the following permissions to function:

Display over other apps: Required to display the lock overlay.
Notifications & Foreground Service: Required to keep the lock service active in the background.
Accessibility Service (Optional): Required for "Strict Mode" to block hardware button gestures.

⚠️ Critical Declaration about Accessibility Service

If you enable Strict Mode, SafeScreen uses the Android Accessibility Service strictly and exclusively to block accidental touches. We explicitly confirm that:

✅ The service does NOT read screen content.
✅ The service does NOT access any personal data.
✅ The service does NOT collect, store, or transmit any data.
✅ All operations are performed locally on your device.
