Privacy Policy — App Opener and Timer

Effective date: 8 July 2026 Developer: Ron Eaglin Contact: ron.eaglin@gmail.com

Summary

App Opener and Timer does not collect, store off your device, transmit, sell, or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third‑party SDKs. Everything the app does happens locally on your device.

Information the app handles

The app works entirely on your device. The only information it keeps is the app lists you create — the names you give them, the apps you select, and the launch interval. This is saved in the app’s local storage on your device so your lists are remembered between sessions. It is never uploaded anywhere and is removed if you delete a list or uninstall the app.

The app does not collect your name, email, location, contacts, files, or any advertising identifiers.

Permissions and why they are used

• See the list of installed apps (via the Android <queries> launcher declaration): used only to show you a checklist of apps you can select and to start the ones you pick. The app reads which apps are launchable; it does not read their contents or send this list anywhere.
• Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): required so the app can launch the next scheduled app while it is running in the background. Android blocks background apps from starting other apps without this permission.
• Usage access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): used only to detect which app is currently on screen, so a timer can stop when you close its app. This information is read in real time and used only on your device to update the timers. It is never stored, logged, or transmitted. This permission is optional — if you don’t grant it, the timers simply keep counting from launch.
• Run a foreground service and post notifications: used to keep the launch schedule running and to show a progress notification while the app is launching your selected apps.

Data sharing

None. No data is shared with the developer or any third party, because no data leaves your device.

Data security

Because all information stays on your device, it is protected by your device’s own security. Uninstalling the app removes the app lists it stored.

Children’s privacy

The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same location with a new effective date.
