Introduction
Permly ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Android application Permly handles information when you use our notification management service.
Information We Access
Notification Access Permission
Permly requires the Android Notification Access permission to function. This permission allows the app to:
- Detect incoming notifications — We only read the package name (app identifier) of incoming notifications to determine if they should be blocked based on your profile settings.
- Cancel notifications — When a notification comes from an app you've muted in an active profile, Permly cancels that notification before it's displayed.
What We DO NOT Access
- Notification content — We never read, store, or process the actual text, images, or data within your notifications.
- Personal messages — We cannot and do not read your messages, emails, or any communication content.
- Sensitive data — We do not access contacts, location, camera, microphone, files, or any other sensitive device data.
Data Storage
All data created by Permly is stored locally on your device:
- Profiles — Your custom notification profiles (names, descriptions, colors)
- Muted Apps — The list of apps you've added to each profile
- Statistics — Counts of blocked notifications (optional feature)
- Preferences — Your app settings and onboarding status
Data Sharing
We do not share any data with third parties. Period.
- No analytics services
- No advertising networks
- No crash reporting services
- No cloud storage
- No external APIs
Data Security
Your data is protected by:
- Android's application sandboxing (other apps cannot access Permly's data)
- Your device's built-in security features (screen lock, encryption)
- Local-only storage with no network transmission
Data Retention
Your data remains on your device until:
- You delete specific profiles or muted apps within the app
- You clear the app's data through Android Settings
- You uninstall the app
Children's Privacy
Permly does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age. The app does not collect personal information from any user.
Your Rights
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:
- Access — View your data directly in the app
- Modify — Edit or update your profiles at any time
- Delete — Remove profiles, muted apps, or clear all data
- Export — Your data belongs to you (may be available in a future update)
