Privacy Policy for Android Quick Settings

Privacy Policy - Android Quick Settings

Privacy Policy

Application: Android Quick Settings
Provider: Frandro
Effective date: 2026-06-10

Frandro ("we", "us", "our") built the Android Quick Settings app ("the Service") as a free, ad-supported application with an optional paid premium upgrade. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use the Service, and the choices you have associated with that information.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Process

1.1 Information processed only on your device

The Service is a launcher of Android system settings pages. It lets you browse and search a list of system settings shortcuts, open a settings page directly, and pin a settings shortcut to your home screen for one-tap access. To do this, the app reads:

  • The list of apps installed on your device, so that settings entries that target a specific app (for example, app-specific notification or storage settings) can route you to the right package
  • The Android API level and device configuration, so that only the settings shortcuts supported by your version of Android are shown
  • Your in-app preferences and a session-start counter that is stored in the app's local SharedPreferences

This information stays on your device. The app does not read the contents of other apps, your files, your messages, your contacts, your location, or your accounts, and it does not upload the installed-app list, your search queries, or your shortcut selections to any server operated by us.

1.2 Permissions used

PermissionPurpose
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) Display notifications, such as update or informational messages delivered via push.
INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (declared by SDKs) Required by the bundled advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, push messaging, and billing SDKs to communicate with their respective services.

The app does not request runtime access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendar, SMS, call logs, photos, or files.

1.3 Information collected by third-party services

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you or your device. These services may collect data such as device identifiers (Android Advertising ID), IP address, device model, operating system version, app version, language, country, crash logs, push notification tokens, and aggregated usage events. Please review each provider's privacy policy linked in Section 4 below.

1.4 Subscription and purchase information

If you purchase a premium upgrade, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing and managed through RevenueCat. We do not receive or store your full payment instrument (e.g., credit card number). We receive an anonymous subscriber ID, purchase tokens, entitlement status, and purchase metadata such as country and product ID, in order to grant and validate your premium entitlement (for example, to remove ads for premium users).

2. How We Use Information

  • To provide the core functionality of browsing, searching, opening, and pinning Android system settings shortcuts.
  • To deliver advertising, including non-personalized ads where required by law or by your consent choice. Premium users do not see ads.
  • To send notifications relevant to the app where you have allowed them.
  • To measure app performance, diagnose crashes, and improve stability.
  • To validate and manage premium purchases.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal Basis (EEA/UK Users)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on (a) your consent for advertising, analytics, and crash reporting that involve personal data, collected through Google's Consent Management Platform (CMP) shown on first launch; (b) the performance of a contract for purchase processing; and (c) our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service. You can change your consent at any time from the in-app privacy settings.

4. Third-Party Service Providers and Their Privacy Policies

We use the following third-party services. Each link below leads to that provider's privacy policy and, where applicable, its description of the data it collects and how it is used.

5. Advertising and Your Choices

Ads are served by Google AdMob and may use the Android Advertising ID to deliver, measure, and limit the frequency of ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

  • On Android: open Settings → Google → Ads and toggle "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization".
  • For EEA, UK, or Swiss users, you may withdraw or change your advertising consent through the in-app privacy options, which re-displays the Google CMP consent form.
  • Purchasing the premium upgrade removes ads from the app.
  • Learn more: Advertising ID, Google Ad Settings.

6. Push Notifications

The app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications. To do this, a unique device registration token is generated and processed by Google. You can disable notifications at any time from your device's system settings for the app, and on Android 13 and above you may decline the notification permission when prompted.

7. Log Data

When the app crashes or encounters an error, third-party tools (Firebase Crashlytics) may collect diagnostic data including device IP, device model, operating system version, app configuration at the time of the error, and the time and date of the event. This information is used solely to diagnose and resolve issues.

8. Cookies

The Service does not itself use cookies. However, third-party SDKs embedded in the app may use cookie-equivalent identifiers (such as advertising IDs) to provide their services.

9. Data Retention

  • The Service does not retain any personal content from your device on our servers, because it does not transmit such content to us.
  • Local preferences, pinned-shortcut metadata, and the session-start counter are stored in the app's data area on your device and are removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall the app.
  • Purchase records are retained by RevenueCat and Google Play Billing for as long as required to maintain your entitlement and for legal/accounting purposes.
  • Crash, analytics, and push notification data are retained according to each provider's standard retention periods.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (EEA, UK, California, etc.), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

11. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information processed through the Service. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

12. Links to Other Sites

The Service may contain links to other sites, including a "more apps" cross-promotion section. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. These external sites are not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

13. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary action.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective date" at the top.
