SECTION 01

Overview & Core Mission

Welcome to the official Privacy Policy and Legal Disclosure document for ZFlip Cover Power (referred to as "Cover Power", "the Application", "we", "us", or "our"). ZFlip Cover Power is an open launcher and productivity utility designed specifically for foldable smartphones with outer cover displays (namely Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and compatible foldable form-factors).

Our core mission is to empower users with full control of their secondary display without compromising personal privacy. Because the launcher functions as an interface layer between your device and your chosen applications, maintaining absolute privacy transparency is our highest architectural mandate.

SECTION 02

Zero Data Collection Policy

ZFlip Cover Power is architected around a strict zero-data collection guarantee:

  • No Network Transmission: The application does not maintain, communicate with, or transmit data to any remote cloud servers.
  • No Account Required: You do not need an account, password, phone number, or login credentials to use the application.
  • No Keystroke or Screen Logging: The app never inspects, captures, logs, or transmits text input, credit card info, credentials, or personal messages.
  • No Location Tracking: We do not collect or request GPS coordinates or location information.

100% On-Device Guarantee

Every configuration setting, widget preference, pinned app list, and display layout is stored solely in local Android SharedPreferences on your physical hardware.

SECTION 03

Prominent Accessibility Service Disclosure

In strict compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies regarding the use of the AccessibilityService API, this section provides an explicit, prominent disclosure of how and why Cover Power utilizes accessibility capabilities:

Google Play Accessibility API Commitment

ZFlip Cover Power uses the Android Accessibility Service API (android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE) strictly for secondary display automation and fold interaction. We do NOT collect, store, share, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data through this service.

android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICERequired for Cover Automation

Why It Is Needed:
1. Fold & Cover Screen Detection: To detect when the smartphone hinge is folded shut (angle < 15°) and automatically bring the Cover Power launcher into focus on Samsung's secondary display (Display ID 1).
2. Cover App Window Targeting: To intercept user taps on pinned apps inside the cover widget and direct Android's ActivityManager to launch the selected application specifically into the Flex Window display bounds.
3. Back & Home Gestures on Cover Screen: To provide essential navigation buttons (Back, Home, and Recents) for apps running inside the cover display that do not include built-in navigation bars.

What It NEVER Does:

• NEVER monitors or reads user keystrokes, passwords, or bank data.
• NEVER captures or screenshots the display content.
• NEVER operates in the background when the phone is unlocked and active on the main screen.
• NEVER communicates with any external server.

SECTION 04

App Visibility Permission (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES)

Because ZFlip Cover Power serves as an alternative cover screen application launcher, it requires visibility of installed applications on your device:

android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGESCore Launcher Feature

Purpose: Used exclusively to retrieve the list of installed applications (icons and display names) via Android's PackageManager so that you can browse, search, and choose which apps to pin to your Flex Window cover drawer.

Data Handling: This package list is displayed in real-time in memory and never exported, logged, or sent off your device.

SECTION 05

Additional System Permissions & Functionality

Cover Power may request certain optional Android permissions depending on which cover widgets and features you choose to activate:

android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOWOptional Overlay

Purpose: Allows Cover Power to draw quick toggles, brightness sliders, and the floating app dock over the Flex Window surface.

android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATSOptional Sorting

Purpose: If enabled, used locally to sort your favorite apps by most recently launched on the cover screen dock. This data is kept strictly inside local volatile memory.

android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGSOptional Quick Toggles

Purpose: Required only if you use the Cover Screen Quick Settings widget to adjust cover screen timeout, brightness, or auto-rotation directly from the outer display.

SECTION 06

Third-Party Services, SDKs & Trackers

Cover Power takes user privacy seriously and maintains a pure, tracker-free codebase:

  • Zero Advertising Networks: We do not integrate AdMob, Unity, AppLovin, or any commercial ad SDKs.
  • Zero Telemetry Frameworks: We do not bundle Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Flurry.
  • Zero Marketing Attribution: We do not use Adjust, AppsFlyer, Branch, or Singular.
SECTION 07

Local Storage & Security

All user preferences (such as cover screen grid size, widget layout, custom shortcuts, and theme colors) are stored locally in private application sandboxes on your Android device:

  • Data is secured by standard Android application sandboxing (SELinux).
  • No other non-root application can access Cover Power's private configuration files.
  • Uninstalling ZFlip Cover Power cleanly deletes all associated preferences and cached icons from your device.
SECTION 08

User Rights Under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA

Under privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Because we do not collect, process, or transmit any personal data, we hold no personal databases or identity records.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.
  • You can revoke any runtime permission at any time directly through Android System Settings > Apps > ZFlip Cover Power > Permissions.
SECTION 09

Children's Privacy Protection (COPPA Compliance)

ZFlip Cover Power is a general system utility suitable for all audiences. The application does not collect any personal information from any user, including children under 13 years of age, complying fully with COPPA and international standards.
