Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 13, 2026  ·  App: Floatify  ·  Package: com.redmanit.floatify

This Privacy Policy describes how Floatify ("we", "our", or "the app") handles information when you use our Android application. We are committed to transparency about what data is collected, why, and how it is used.

1. Summary

Floatify does not collect your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, files, camera, or microphone. All user settings are stored locally on your device. Crash reports and anonymous usage analytics are sent to Google services to help us improve the app.

2. Data We Collect

2a. Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used. This is disabled in development builds and only active in production releases. Events collected include:

Each event includes basic device context: device manufacturer, model, Android OS version, and app version code. No personally identifying information is included.

2b. Crash Reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

If the app crashes, Firebase Crashlytics automatically collects a crash report containing the stack trace, device model, Android version, and app version. This data is used solely to diagnose and fix bugs. No user content is captured.

2c. Advertising (Google AdMob)

For users who have not purchased the premium version, Floatify displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. Google may collect data to serve personalized ads in accordance with their own policies. You can opt out of personalized ads through your Android device settings (Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization). Purchasing premium permanently removes all ads.

2d. Purchases (Google Play Billing)

In-app purchases are processed entirely by Google Play. We receive only a confirmation that a purchase was made. Payment details are never seen or stored by Floatify. Your premium status is stored locally on your device.

3. Data Stored Locally

All your app settings are saved only on your device using Android's DataStore (encrypted preferences). This includes:

This data is never transmitted to our servers. It is cleared if you uninstall the app.

4. Sensitive Permissions

Permission Why it is used
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW Draws the floating button over other apps. Without this permission the core feature cannot function.
Accessibility Service
(BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE)
Executes device actions that require system-level access: lock screen, go back, take screenshot, open recent apps. The accessibility service does not read, capture, or transmit any screen content or user input. It only performs actions when you explicitly trigger them via the button.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE Keeps the floating button visible while you use other apps. A persistent notification is shown as required by Android.
REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS Prevents Android from killing the floating button service in the background.
WiFi / Bluetooth / Auto-Rotate controls Only exercised when you assign the corresponding action to your button and trigger it.

5. Data We Do NOT Collect

6. Third-Party Services

Floatify integrates the following Google services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

7. Data Retention

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention policies (typically 2 months for Analytics, 90 days for Crashlytics). Local device settings are retained until you uninstall the app or clear app data.

8. Children's Privacy

Floatify is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
