Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 November 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Ping Guard (the "App"). We value your privacy and take it seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how the App handles notification data and device data, how we process information, and what choices you have.

2. Information Accessed by the App

The App requires the Android Notification Listener permission to read notifications on your device. This allows the App to:

  • Read the content of notifications
  • Filter or manage notifications (e.g., silence, group, or hide)

Important: All notification data is processed locally on your device. The App does not send any notification content or user data to any external servers.

3. Data Collection and Storage

Data Collection: We do not collect or transmit any data from your device. We only read notifications via the Android system API, and that data remains on your device.

Data Storage: Notification details may be temporarily stored in the App's local database (on your device) to provide features like filtering and accessing later. This data is not shared or backed up to any cloud or remote server by default.

No internet connection required: We do not require an internet connection. So, it's not possible for us to transmit any data off your device.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services that collect personal data. If in future we integrate any such services, we will update this policy accordingly and ask for your consent where required.

5. Security

We follow industry-standard practices to protect any data stored on your device. However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. User Rights

Since the App does not transmit your notification data to any servers, your data stays under your control. If you want the App to stop reading your notifications, you can revoke the Notification Listener permission in your device settings.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make major changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and aim to notify you through the App (if possible) or on this page.
