Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 08 Apr 2026

Thank you for using RuleRunner. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information and device permissions.

1. Overview
The App is designed to trigger actions on your Android device based on conditions you configure (such as time, location, device state, on-screen content, files, installed apps, or user-defined events). All processing occurs locally on your device. This App is designed with privacy in mind. It operates entirely on-device, does not collect or share user data, and only uses permissions necessary to enable its features.

2. Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data.
  • No personal information is collected
  • No usage analytics are collected
  • No data is sent to external servers
  • All configurations remain stored locally on your device

3. Data Usage
Most functionality is executed locally on your device. The App uses information only as necessary to evaluate your configured conditions and trigger actions.For certain features, such as voice recognition, the App may rely on system-provided services (e.g., Google speech recognition):
  • Audio input may be processed by these services, which may require an internet connection
  • The App does not store, record, or transmit this data itself
  • Any processing performed by third-party system services is subject to their respective privacy policies
Apart from such system-level integrations, all other functionality operates entirely on-device.

4. Data Sharing
We do not share any data with third parties.
  • No data is transmitted outside your device
  • No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used

5. Permissions
The App may request certain permissions strictly to enable its core features. These permissions are used only on-device and are never used to collect or transmit personal data.
a. Device & System Permissions
Used to monitor conditions (such as device state, connectivity, or system settings) and trigger configured actions.
b. Location Permission 
The App may request access to your device’s location to enable location-based conditions and automations configured by you.
  • Location data is used solely to evaluate conditions (e.g., triggering actions when entering or leaving a location)
  • Location processing occurs entirely on your device
  • No location data is collected, stored, or transmitted by the App
Depending on the features you enable, the App may use:
  • Precise location (GPS) for accurate condition detection
  • Background location access to allow automations to function even when the App is not actively in use
Location access is optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time through your device settings.
c. Microphone Permission
The App may request access to your device’s microphone if voice-triggered conditions or speech recognition features are enabled.
  • Audio input is used solely for recognizing user commands
  • The App does not store, record, or transmit audio data
  • If system-provided speech recognition services are used, audio may be processed by those services
If your version of the App does not use voice features, this permission will not be requested.
d. Files and Media Access 
The App may request access to files and media on your device to support features such as importing, exporting, or storing user-configured settings and automation data.
  • File access is used solely for functionality explicitly initiated by you (e.g., saving or loading configurations)
  • The App only accesses files necessary for its core features and does not scan or access unrelated files
  • No files or file contents are collected, transmitted, or shared by the App
  • All file operations occur locally on your device
You can manage or revoke file access permissions at any time through your device settings.
e. Installed Apps and Usage Information
The App may access information about other apps installed on your device and monitor app usage statistics to enable core functionality.
  • Usage Monitoring: This is used solely to detect when specific apps are opened, closed, or running in the foreground to trigger user-configured actions.
  • No Data Logging: The App does not log, store, or transmit your app usage history or browsing habits.
  • Local Processing: All app-state evaluation occurs entirely on your device in real-time.
  • Optional Access: This is a sensitive permission that you must explicitly grant in your device's "Usage Access" settings for app-based triggers to function.
The App does not use this information for advertising, analytics, or tracking purposes.
f. Calendar Access
The App may request access to your device’s calendar to enable core functionality, such as triggering actions based on calendar events you configure.
  • Calendar access is used solely to evaluate user-configured conditions
  • The App does not collect, store, transmit, or share calendar data
  • All processing occurs locally on your device
  • Access is optional and can be revoked at any time through your device settings
The App does not use calendar data for advertising, analytics, or tracking purposes.
g. Display Over Other Apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW)
The App may request permission to display overlays on top of other apps to enable certain automation features or provide user feedback.
  • This permission is used only for core functionality
  • No data is collected or transmitted through this capability
h. Internet Access
​The App may request internet access for basic functionality or system-level operations.
  • The App does not send, collect, or share any user data over the internet
  • No analytics, tracking, or advertising services are used
i. Notifications and Do Not Disturb Access
​The App may request access to notification settings and Do Not Disturb controls to enable automation features.
  • Used only to trigger or control device behavior based on your configuration
  • No notification content is collected, stored, or shared
j. Auto Start and Device Boot
The App may start automatically when your device restarts to ensure that your configured automations continue to function.
  • This occurs only to maintain core functionality
  • No data is collected or transmitted during this process
k. Connectivity (Bluetooth and NFC)
The App may use your device’s Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities to provide additional triggers for your automations.
  • Bluetooth: The App may scan for specific Bluetooth devices or connection states (e.g., connecting to a car’s Bluetooth) to trigger actions.
  • NFC Status & Control: The App may check whether NFC is currently enabled or disabled on your device to evaluate automation conditions. It may also toggle the NFC state (On/Off) as a programmed action.
  • No Tag Data Collection: The App does not read or store data from external NFC tags or credit cards.
  • Privacy: The App does not collect or share unique hardware identifiers (such as MAC addresses) with any third parties. All hardware state changes are processed locally on your device.

​6. Data Security
Because the App does not collect or transmit data, your information remains on your device under your control.

7. Children’s Privacy
The App does not collect any personal information from users, including children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected by revising the “Effective Date.” Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
