1. Who We Are

RingBar is an Android application developed and maintained by an independent developer (“we,” “us,” or “our”). The app is available on Google Play under the package name com.mosh.ringbar. This policy applies to the App and the website at moshlabs.org/app/ringbar/. Questions can be sent to moshlabs2+ringbar@gmail.com.

2. The Short Version

• RingBar does not read, record, or transmit your notifications, screen content, or personal data.
• The Accessibility Service and Notification Listener are used solely to count badges and read system state — no content is ever captured.
• We do not sell your data to anyone.
• You are in full control of your ring presets and settings at all times.

3. Data We Collect

3.1 On-Device App Data (stays on your device)

RingBar stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Your configured ring presets (colours, size, indicators)
• App settings and preferences (chosen theme, enabled features)

This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. It exists solely on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear app data.

3.2 Advertising

Free users see banner and rewarded ads served by Google AdMob (Google LLC). AdMob may collect:

• A device advertising ID (Google Advertising ID / GAID) to serve relevant ads
• General device information (model, OS version, screen size, language)
• IP address (used to infer approximate location for ad targeting)
• Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks, view duration)

AdMob and its partners may use this data to personalise ads shown to you. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we display a consent form before loading any ads. You may accept or decline personalised advertising at that point.

You can review and update your consent preferences at any time via Settings → Privacy & Ads in the app, or via Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

For full details on how Google handles advertising data, see the Google Privacy Policy and Google’s EU User Consent Policy.

Premium users who have purchased a lifetime licence do not see ads and are not subject to AdMob data collection.

3.3 In-App Purchases

The RingBar lifetime licence is processed through Google Play Billing and the entitlement is verified via RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.). RevenueCat may collect:

• Your Google Play purchase token
• Entitlement and subscription status
• App version and platform metadata
• A pseudonymous user identifier

RevenueCat does not receive your name, email address, or payment details. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy for full details.

4. Permissions We Request

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data may be shared only in these limited circumstances:

• RevenueCat: Purchase verification data as described in §3.3, subject to the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users.

No other third parties receive your data.

6. Data Retention

• On-device settings and presets: Retained until you clear app data or uninstall RingBar.
