Privacy Policy

This policy covers the Islandly — Dynamic Island Android app (com.vaimanasoft.dynamicisland), published on Google Play by SamAndroidDev and operated by Vaimanasoft ("we," "us," or "our"). It applies to the Android app only — our website and SaaS services have their own privacy policy.

1. Data Processed on Your Device Only — Never Collected

The following is read and used entirely on your phone. It is never stored beyond display, never uploaded, never shared, and never sold:

• Notification content (titles, text, sender names, app of origin), read through Android's Notification Access permission that you grant in system settings. Used solely to render cards on the island.
• Media session data (track title, artist, artwork, playback position), used for the now-playing card.
• Call information (that a call is ringing, and the caller line supplied by your phone app), used to show answer and decline controls on the island.
• Your app selections and settings (which apps may reach the island, themes, pill geometry), stored locally on your device.

Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage, deletes all of it.

2. The Accessibility Service

Islandly uses Android's accessibility service for exactly one purpose: it is the only way Android permits an app to draw a tappable overlay on the camera cutout.

You can turn it off at any time in Android Settings → Accessibility. The island simply stops drawing; no other part of the app is affected.

3. Data That Is Collected

These services are operated by Google and process data under Google's Privacy Policy. None of them ever receives notification content, media metadata, or anything the island displays.

3.1 Advertising ID — Google AdMob

Collects: the device advertising ID, IP address, and ad interaction data.
Why: to serve ads in the app's own screens — never on the island itself. In the EEA and UK, ads are only requested after you make a choice in the Google-certified consent dialog, and you can revisit that choice under Settings → Ad privacy options. Premium removes advertising entirely. See how Google uses data.

3.2 Crash Reports and Usage Statistics — Firebase Crashlytics & Analytics

Collects: device model, OS version, app version, crash stack traces, and anonymous events such as screens viewed or features toggled.
Why: to find and fix bugs, and to understand which features are used so we can improve the app. These reports never include notification content, media metadata, or anything the island displays.

3.3 Purchases — Google Play Billing

Collects: purchase and entitlement state, processed entirely by Google Play.
Why: to unlock Premium. We receive no card details; the app stores only a local yes/no entitlement flag, which is excluded from device backups.

3.4 Push Announcements — Firebase Cloud Messaging

Collects: nothing that we retain.
Why: the app can receive rare developer announcements. The registration token this requires stays on your device; the app does not store or transmit it, and announcements never appear on the island.

4. What We Never Do

• No accounts and no sign-in — the app never asks for your name, email, phone number, or contacts.
• No server of ours: Islandly has nowhere to upload your content.
• We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it except with the processors named above (Google AdMob, Firebase, Google Play) as needed to provide ads, diagnostics, and purchases.
• No precise location, no microphone audio, and no reading of your screen.
• The app is not directed at children; its Google Play target audience is 18 and over.

5. Security, Retention, and Deletion

Data in transit to Google services is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Crash and analytics data is retained under Google Firebase's standard retention periods and then deleted or aggregated. On-device data lives only on your device and is removed by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage.

You can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. To request deletion of diagnostics data associated with your device, or for any privacy question, email contact@vaimanasoft.com — we respond within 30 days.

6. Legal Bases and Your Rights

We operate under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. For users in the EEA and UK, ads personalisation relies on your consent (revocable in-app) and diagnostics on our legitimate interest in keeping the app working; GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, and objection can be exercised via the contact address below. California residents have equivalent rights under the CCPA; we do not sell personal information as defined there.

7. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date before the change takes effect. Material changes will also be noted in the app's update notes.
