Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Tenkai Launcher. Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. Tenkai Launcher is designed from the ground up to be a local-first application. This means we respect your personal space, and we do not collect, monitor, or store your personal information, configurations, or usage history on any remote servers.

No Server-Side Telemetry or Tracking

We do not run any backend servers for tracking, telemetry, user analytics, or usage statistics.

Local Storage: All of your launcher preferences, layouts, custom gestures, theme colors, and configuration settings are stored locally on your Android device.
App Data Access: Standard Android permissions requested by the launcher (such as reading the list of installed applications or setting the system wallpaper) are used exclusively to render your home screen and app drawer. None of this data is transmitted off your device.

Local-First Guarantee: Because we have no servers, it is physically impossible for us to collect, sell, lease, or share your application usage data, screen layouts, or list of installed apps with any third parties.

Third-Party Services

While Tenkai Launcher itself collects no data, it integrates with Google Play Services to provide standard store functions, licensing verification, and secure payment processing.

Specifically, when you purchase premium features within the app:

Payments are processed securely via the Google Play Billing Library.
We do not receive or store any credit card numbers, bank details, or personal billing addresses. All transaction processing is handled securely by Google.
Google Play Services may collect certain metadata (such as device identifiers, payment status, and IP addresses) to verify purchases and comply with legal requirements. You can review their policies here: Google Privacy & Terms.

Device Security

Because your configurations and preferences are stored entirely on your device, the security of your launcher data depends on the security of your physical device. We recommend securing your phone with a strong PIN, password, pattern, or biometric lock to prevent unauthorized access.

Future Policy Updates

As Tenkai Launcher grows, we may introduce new features that require online sync, cloud backups, or crash reporting. If we decide to introduce server-side components or telemetry in the future, we will:

Update this Privacy Policy page to clearly detail what data is collected, why it is collected, and where it is stored.
Notify users of these changes directly in the application (for example, through an app update notification or a prompt highlighting the changes).
Always seek explicit consent (opt-in) for any features that transmit personal or usage telemetry off your device.
