Privacy Policy for Battery Temperature

  Last updated: August 8, 2026

  This Privacy Policy describes how the Battery Temperature app ("the App") handles information. We built this app to be as simple and private as possible: it does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, because it has
  no internet access at all.

  1. Information We Collect

  We do not collect any personal information. The App does not require an account, does not ask for your name, email, location, or any other personal identifier, and has no way to send data anywhere — it does not request internet
  access permission.

  2. Device Data the App Reads

  The App reads your device's current battery temperature using Android's built-in BatteryManager system API. This reading is used only to display the temperature on screen, in the notification, and to trigger the optional
  on-device high-temperature alert. This data:
  - Is read directly from the operating system in real time
  - Is never stored beyond the current reading
  - Is never transmitted off your device
  - Is never shared with the developer or any third party

  3. Settings Stored on Your Device

  Your preferences — temperature unit (°C/°F), whether the notification is shown, the alert threshold, and the time between alerts — are saved locally on your device using Android's standard app-preferences storage. This
  information never leaves your device and is deleted automatically if you uninstall the App.

  4. Permissions the App Requests, and Why

  - Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): to show the ongoing battery-temperature notification and high-temperature alerts.
  - Foreground Service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE): to keep monitoring the battery temperature reliably while the notification is enabled.
  - Receive Boot Completed (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): to resume battery-temperature monitoring automatically after you restart your device, if you've enabled the notification.

  None of these permissions are used to collect or share data — they exist solely to let the App function as described.

  5. Third-Party Services

  The App does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services, and does not share data with any third party, because it collects no data to share.

  6. Children's Privacy

  The App does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, since it collects no information at all.

  7. Data Security

  Since no data is collected or transmitted, there is no data-in-transit or server-side storage to secure. Locally stored settings are protected by Android's standard app sandboxing.

  8. Changes to This Policy

  If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date.
