Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 24, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Hotaka ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with your use of the minimLAUNCHER application ("App").

Your privacy is our top priority. Our App is designed to be a lightweight and privacy-focused launcher.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be crystal clear: minimLAUNCHER collects absolutely no personally identifiable information (PII) or any other user data.

We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Personal Information: Your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.
• Device Information: Device IDs (like IMEI or Android ID), advertising IDs, IP address, or device hardware details.
• Usage Data: How you interact with the App, which apps you open, how long you use your device, or any other behavioral data.
• Location Data: Your physical location.
• Contacts, Messages, or Photos: The App does not access, read, or store your contacts, SMS messages, photos, or any other personal files.

Since we do not collect any data, we do not use it, share it, or sell it to any third parties.

2. How the App Works (Local Processing)

As a launcher, the App needs to function on your device. To do this, it must access certain information locally on your phone.

• Installed Applications: To display your installed applications on the home screen and in the app drawer, the App must read the list of apps currently installed on your device.

This action is performed entirely on your device. This information is never sent to our servers, collected by us, or shared with anyone. It stays on your phone.

3. App Permissions

minimLAUNCHER may request certain permissions to provide its core functionality.

• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: This permission is necessary for any launcher to find and display all the apps you have installed.

All permissions are used strictly for the App's stated features. We do not use these permissions to collect any data from your device.

4. Third-Party Services

minimLAUNCHER does not integrate any third-party services, advertising networks (like AdMob), or analytics SDKs (like Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics) that would collect data from you.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any of your personal information, there is no risk of your data being breached from our systems. All app functions are processed locally on your device.

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will confirm that no such data exists on our systems.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
