Privacy Policy for Now Launcher

Now Launcher (“we”, “our”, “the App”) is an Android launcher designed to personalise and enhance your device experience. This Privacy Policy explains what information we access, how it is used, and your choices. We take privacy seriously. We only request the permissions required to provide functionality, and we do not sell personal data.

1. Information We Access

The App may request certain Android permissions to operate. All data accessed through these permissions is processed on your device and is not stored on our servers.

1.1 Health Permissions (Health Connect)

Used to display activity and health-related information if you enable these features. We do not upload or store any health data.

1.2 Contacts

Used to display your contacts or provide shortcuts within the launcher. The App does not upload or share your contact data.

1.3 Calendar

Used to show upcoming events when enabled. Calendar information remains on your device.

1.4 Notification Access & Media Permissions

Used to display notifications, media controls, or currently playing audio. Notification content is processed locally and never transmitted outside your device by us.

1.5 Internet Access

The App may use the internet to:

• Retrieve content requested by you
• Update widgets or informational sections
• Perform searches that you initiate

We do not track or collect your browsing history. We do not intercept or store your search queries.

1.6 Diagnostics, Crash Reporting & Analytics

To help us understand how the App is performing and to improve stability over time, the App uses third-party services for diagnostics, crash reporting and basic analytics. These services may collect anonymous or pseudonymous information such as crash logs, general usage patterns and basic device details (for example, device model or operating system version).

This information is used only to:

• Identify and fix bugs and crashes
• Measure feature usage at an aggregate level
• Improve reliability and user experience

We do not use this data to show you third-party advertising, and we do not sell this information.

1.7 External Links

When you request a web search or open a link, the App forwards the request to your selected browser or service. No browsing data is collected by us during this process.

2. Authentication (Optional)

If you choose to sign in, a secure third-party authentication provider may be used. This may provide us with:

• Your name
• Your email address
• A unique identifier

This information is used solely to:

• Manage account-related features
• Sync preferences where applicable
• Manage access to premium features

We do not access any additional data from your account beyond what is necessary for these functions.

3. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

The App uses a trusted third-party billing provider to process in-app purchases and subscriptions. This provider may collect limited information required to validate and manage your transactions.

We do not store:

• Credit card details
• Payment information
• Your full billing history

All payments and validations are handled securely by platform-approved services.

4. How We Use Information

We use information solely for functionality you request, including:

• Displaying widgets and device content
• Providing launcher customisation and shortcuts
• Showing notifications and media information
• Enabling sign-in and subscription access
• Retrieving and displaying online content at your request
• Improving performance and stability through diagnostics and crash reporting

We do not use your data for:

• Advertising
• Selling personal information
• Tracking your behaviour for profiling

5. Data Storage & Security

We do not operate external servers for personal data storage in relation to your on-device content. Most data remains exclusively on your device.

Where authentication, subscription-related or diagnostic/analytics data is processed, it is handled by third-party providers that follow industry-standard security practices.

6. Third-Party Services

The App may interact with trusted third-party services for:

• Authentication
• Billing and subscriptions
• Content retrieval
• Diagnostics, crash reporting and analytics

These services handle only the minimal data required to provide their functionality and are governed by their own privacy policies. Where we use diagnostics, crash reporting or analytics providers, they may receive pseudonymous identifiers and usage information necessary to provide these services.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Choices

You have control over many aspects of your data:

• You can disable permissions at any time in your device settings.
• You can use the App without signing in, where applicable.
• You can choose not to subscribe to premium features.
• If you have created an account, you can delete it at https://home.tigerstorm.dev/account. After deletion, account-related data that we control will be removed or anonymised, except where we are required to retain certain information for legal, accounting or security purposes.

Because most data is stored locally on your device, uninstalling the App will remove locally stored information associated with the App.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be clearly communicated in the App or through an updated version of this page.
