Privacy Policy
Effective May 9, 2026 · Fullancia LLC
We do not collect personal data. We do not run analytics. We do not show ads. The only data that ever leaves your device is your approximate location, sent to a free open-source weather service to fetch your local forecast.
What leaves your device
Location data sent to the weather service
When you enable weather on your home screen, Glyph Launcher sends your device's latitude and longitude to Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) to fetch a local forecast. No account, no API key, and no user identifier is included in that request. Open-Meteo is an open-source weather service and their privacy policy is available at open-meteo.com/en/terms.
You can disable weather entirely in Settings, which stops all location requests.
Your email address, if you signed up on the website
If you submitted your email at glyphlauncher.com to join the beta, that address was collected by the website signup form and stored in our CRM for the purpose of contacting you about the beta. This is entirely separate from the app and is never transmitted by the app itself.
What stays on your device
Glyph Launcher accesses the following on your device but never transmits it:
- Installed apps list — to populate your home screen and app drawer
- Contacts (name and phone number) — only when you grant permission at runtime, used for contact search; held in memory only and never cached
- Calendar events (title, time, all-day flag) — only when you grant permission at runtime, used to display your next event; held in memory only
- Notification counts per app — only if you grant Notification Listener access in system Settings; held in memory only
- Wallpaper color — a single dominant color value is extracted to suggest a matching theme; the wallpaper image itself is never read or stored
- Battery level — displayed on your home screen; held in memory only
What we store locally
Your preferences are stored on your device using AndroidX DataStore. This includes your font and color choices, home screen layout, gesture mappings, weather settings, and display preferences. These preferences are included in Android's standard cloud backup if you have that enabled on your device. We cannot access or recover your preferences from our end.
What we don't do
- No analytics or usage tracking of any kind
- No crash reporting
- No advertising networks
- No device identifiers collected (no IMEI, Android ID, or advertising ID)
- No camera, microphone, SMS, or call log access
- No data shared with third parties, beyond the Open-Meteo weather request described above
Children
Glyph Launcher is a general-purpose app with no features directed at children. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
