Battery Style — Privacy Policy

Gizlilik Politikası · com.kaptanoglu.batterystyle
No data collected. No internet access.

Battery Style draws a custom battery icon in your status bar. It does not collect, store off-device, or transmit any personal information.

The app declares no INTERNET permission. Android therefore blocks it from opening any network connection at all — it could not send your data anywhere even if it tried.

What the app reads

To draw the icon, the app reads the current battery level and whether the phone is charging. It gets these from Android's own ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED broadcast. Both values are used to render the icon and are then discarded. Neither is logged, stored as history, or sent anywhere.

What the app stores

Your settings — the chosen style, colour mode, colour, icon size, and whether the percentage, the charging mark and the icon itself are switched on — are saved in the app's own private storage on your device, using Android's DataStore.

This storage is readable only by Battery Style. Uninstalling the app deletes it. There is no account, no cloud sync and no backup to any server we control.

Permissions and why

PermissionWhy it is needed
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE		 A notification's small icon is the only way an app can draw into the Android status bar. Keeping that notification alive requires a foreground service, which is also what keeps the app subscribed to battery updates.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS The icon is a notification. Without this permission Android will not show it, so the app cannot do its one job.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED To bring the icon back after you restart the phone — but only if you had it switched on.

That is the complete list. There is no internet, location, contacts, storage, camera or microphone permission.

Third parties

None. No advertising SDK, no analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking library. Nothing in the app talks to a third-party service, because nothing in the app can reach the network.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages. Since it collects nothing, it collects nothing from children either.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date below. Material changes will also appear in the app's release notes on Google Play.
