All data pertaining to the app is stored locally on the device and never leaves the device to any server owned by me or any 3rd party.
There are no ads or trackers in the app and no data is collected. The app does not access the internet and does not have permission to access the internet.
BuzzKill accesses the following categories of data, all of which are processed on-device only:
None of this data is transmitted off your device, sold, used for analytics, or used for advertising.
BuzzKill uses Android's Notification Listener permission so that it can read incoming notifications and apply the rules you have configured. Notification content is processed entirely on your device, is not logged to any server, and is not shared with any third party except in the two cases explicitly described below (Tasker integration and contacting support).
The user may voluntarily enable features in the app that require their location. For example triggering an automation based on the user's location. The location data collected for these features is used exclusively for this purpose and does not leave the device. The user's location is never shared to any server or 3rd party and is not used for any tracking, analytics or advertisement purposes.
If the user voluntarily decides to contact support a list of recent notifications will be sent as part of the generated email. This will NOT include the content of the notification but will contain the app's name that sent the notification. This is only sent as part of the email and the user can see its content before sending it. Only by clicking send on the email will the data be shared to me and it is only sent once.
If the user creates a rule to trigger tasker with a notification using BuzzKill then BuzzKill will provide the content of the notification (app name, title, message, etc...) to the Tasker app installed on the user's device. See Tasker's privacy policy.
Because all data stays on your device, retention is controlled by you. Rules and settings persist until you delete them in the app or uninstall BuzzKill. Uninstalling the app removes all data BuzzKill has stored on your device. No off-device copies exist for me to delete on your behalf; the only off-device data that could exist is an email you have voluntarily sent to support, which you may request I delete at any time by emailing samrustonhelp@gmail.com.
BuzzKill's data is stored in the app's private storage, which Android isolates from other apps via the operating system sandbox. Because no data is transmitted off your device, there is no network transmission to secure.
BuzzKill is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from children.
If this policy changes in a way that affects how user data is handled, the updated policy will be published at this same URL with a new effective date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app's Play Store listing release notes.
