Privacy Policy — StandDock Clock
Last updated: July 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the StandDock Clock Android application handles user data. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
1. Data Collection
StandDock Clock does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The app operates entirely offline on your device. No information is sent to our servers or any third party.
2. Internet Access
The app does not access the internet. It requires no network connection to function and makes no HTTP requests of any kind.
3. Third-Party Services
The app does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no ads, no analytics SDKs, and no crash reporting tools.
4. User Accounts
The app does not require or support user accounts or login of any kind.
5. Permissions
The app requests the following Android permissions, all used exclusively for the standby clock functionality:
- WAKE_LOCK — Keeps the screen on while the clock is displayed.
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — Allows the app to restore its state after a device restart.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE — Runs the clock display as a foreground service so it is not interrupted by the system.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS — Shows a notification while the clock service is active (required by Android for foreground services).
- REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS — Prevents the system from stopping the clock during battery optimization.
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW — Displays the clock overlay on top of other apps.
The app does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, or any other sensitive data.
6. Local Storage
The app stores your preferences locally on your device using Android DataStore. This includes:
- Clock face style
- Night mode settings (on/off, schedule)
- Brightness level
- Time format (12h/24h)
- Date and seconds display preferences
This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
7. Children's Privacy
Since the app does not collect any personal data, there are no special concerns regarding children's privacy. The app is safe for users of all ages.
