1. Information We Collect and Process

We design our applications and websites to operate with minimal data collection:

• Information You Voluntarily Provide: When you send a message, song request, or feedback through our contact forms or support emails ([email protected]), we receive your email address and message contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Server Logs: Our website records basic visit details such as IP addresses, browser type, internet provider, date and time, and pages visited. We use these records to protect and improve the site and fix problems.
• Zero Sensitive Data: We never collect, store, or solicit credit card numbers, passwords, government IDs, biometric data, or private user files. LitePDF and Notification History Manager process all data strictly on-device without cloud transmission.

2. Device Permissions & How They Are Used in Android Apps

Depending on the specific application installed from Google Play, our apps request runtime permissions strictly required for explicit user features:

• Notification Access (BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE - Notification History Manager): Used exclusively to detect, organize, and log incoming notification alerts into an encrypted local SQLite database on your device. This allows users to search, filter, and review dismissed notifications or deleted chat messages. Notification logs remain 100% on-device and are never uploaded, shared, or transmitted across any network.
• SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW (Draw Over Other Apps - LyricLines): Used exclusively to present the floating lyric window bubble while you are playing music in third-party media players (such as Spotify, YouTube, or music players).
• Storage / Document Access (LitePDF): Used only when you select a PDF file to read, merge, or convert. LitePDF renders and processes all files strictly locally on your phone. Documents are never uploaded to any remote server or cloud.
• Internet Access: Used to periodically fetch new song additions or smartphone specs database updates, and deliver non-personalized advertisements or crash diagnostics.
