CloudEx Inc. ("we", "us", or "our") operates the "Widget Pro" app (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to the practices described in this Policy.
1. Our Core Principle
Widget Pro lets you customize your home screen: it provides home screen widgets, sets and automatically changes your wallpaper, and can draw your own design on top of the status bar. Widgets, wallpapers, and the status bar design are all drawn entirely on your device. There is no account and no sign-up. The photos you choose, the text you write, and your settings are yours: they are stored only on your device, and we never view, collect, upload, or transmit them to our servers. Specifically, we do not have access to any of the following:
- The photos you pick, or the photos in the folders you choose for wallpaper albums
- The text of your memos, the dates of your countdowns, the cities you add to the world clock, or the text you choose to show on the status bar
- Anything shown on your screen or in other apps
- The battery, storage, memory, and network figures shown in your widgets or on the status bar
The app connects to the internet only for the purposes listed under "Internet" in Section 5.4, and none of those connections carry your photos, your text, or your settings.
2. Widgets
- Drawn on your device: The widgets (clock, analog clock, date, calendar, battery, photo, countdown, memo, world clock, storage and memory) are drawn entirely on your device.
- Settings and content: Each widget's settings, the text of your memos, the dates of your countdowns, and the cities you add are stored only on your device.
- Device figures: Battery level, storage, and memory figures are read on your device only to show them in the widgets. They are not stored or sent.
- Calendar: The date and calendar widgets do not read your calendar events. The app does not ask for permission to access your calendar.
- Opening an app when you tap a widget: If you choose "Open an app…" as a widget's tap action, the app lists the apps that have an icon on your home screen so that you can pick one. Only the app you pick is saved, in that widget's settings on your device.
- Removing a widget: When you remove a widget from your home screen, its settings are deleted, and so are the copies of its photos unless another of your widgets still uses them.
3. Photos and Wallpapers
- Choosing photos: You choose photos (for photo widgets, widget backgrounds, and wallpaper albums) in the Android system photo picker. The app receives only the photos you pick and copies them into its own storage on your device, so that your widgets and wallpapers keep working even if the original is moved or deleted. The app does not ask for permission to read your whole photo library.
- Choosing a folder: When you choose a folder for a wallpaper album, you pick it in the Android folder picker, and the app is allowed to read only that folder. It only reads the photos in it and does not copy them. When you delete the album, the app gives that access back (unless another of your albums uses the same folder).
- Never sent: Photos are never uploaded or sent anywhere. Your original photos are not changed or deleted.
- Setting the wallpaper: The app sets your wallpaper only when you set a photo as your wallpaper or turn on automatic wallpaper changes (Premium). A small preview of the wallpaper it set last is kept in the app's storage to show it in the app.
- "Every time the screen turns off" (Premium): To notice that the screen has turned off, the app keeps a foreground service running and shows a silent notification while this option is on. It is not used for anything else.
- Deleting: Deleting a photo or an album in the app deletes the copies that belong to it. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes all the copies.
4. Accessibility Service (Status Bar Customization)
If you turn on status bar customization (Premium), Widget Pro uses an accessibility service (AccessibilityService API) for one purpose only: to draw your status bar design — the battery bar, the color, the extra info, and rounded screen corners — on top of the status bar. On Android, only an accessibility service can place a window above the status bar, which is why the app uses this API.
- It does not read your screen: The service does not read or collect anything shown on your screen or in other apps. It is set up so that it cannot retrieve window content.
- It does not receive accessibility events: The service is set up to receive no accessibility events at all.
- It does not take your touches or operate the device: The windows it draws do not take touches, so every tap and swipe, including pulling down the notification shade, goes straight to the screen underneath. The service does not perform any action on your device.
- It collects and sends nothing: The service does not collect personal data and does not send anything.
- You turn it on yourself: The service stays off until you turn on Widget Pro in your device's Accessibility settings. Before the app opens those settings, it explains what the service is used for and what it does not do, and asks for your agreement; if you do not agree, status bar customization stays off. You can turn the service off at any time in your device's Accessibility settings.
- What is shown: The battery level and temperature, network speed, and memory use shown in your design are read on your device only to draw them, and are not stored or sent. Network speed is calculated from the device's total amount of data sent and received, not from the content of any communication. The text you choose to show is saved only in the app's settings on your device.
5. Information We Collect
5.1 Information Collected Automatically
- Crash reports: Via Firebase Crashlytics. When the app crashes, we collect a crash report, such as the device model, Android version, app version, and the part of the app where the problem occurred. These reports do not include your photos, memos, or settings.
- Purchase information: Your one-time "Premium" purchase is handled by Google Play. The app uses the purchase information Google Play provides (including a purchase token) to confirm your purchase. We never receive any payment information such as credit card numbers.
- List of our other apps: To show our other apps, the app downloads their names, descriptions, icons, and images from our content server (static files hosted on Cloudflare Pages). The requests contain no personal data from the app. As with any request to a web server, the server receives your device's IP address as part of the connection. Which apps are shown is decided on your device, from your device's country (taken from the SIM card, the mobile network, or your language settings) and from whether you already have our apps installed; none of this is sent. Tapping an app in the list opens its page on Google Play, and the link tells Google Play that you came from Widget Pro.
5.2 Information Stored Only on Your Device
- Widgets: Each widget's settings, including the text of your memos, the dates of your countdowns, the cities you add, and the app you choose to open.
- Photos and albums: The copies of the photos you pick, your wallpaper albums (including the folders you choose), and a small preview of the wallpaper the app set last.
- App settings: Your automatic wallpaper change settings, your status bar design (including any text you choose to show), the app's color theme, and whether you own Premium.
- Android backup: If backup is turned on in your device settings, Android may include the app settings in the backup it saves to your own Google account, and may copy them to a new phone when you transfer your data. Widget settings, wallpaper albums, and the photos you imported are always excluded. This is handled by Android; we have no access to it.
- When you uninstall: Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes everything the app has stored on your device, including the copies of your photos.
5.3 Information We Explicitly Do Not Collect
- Your photos, or the contents of the folders you choose
- The text of your memos, your countdowns, your world clock cities, or the text you show on the status bar
- The contents of your screen or of other apps
- Your name, email address, phone number, or contacts (the app has no account or sign-up)
- Your location or your calendar events (the app does not ask for these permissions)
- A history of the websites you visit or the contents of your communications
5.4 Permissions the App Requests and Their Purposes
Widget Pro uses the following permissions only for the stated purposes:
- Set wallpaper (SET_WALLPAPER) — Sets your wallpaper when you set a photo as your wallpaper or turn on automatic wallpaper changes.
- Accessibility service — Used only for status bar customization, as described in Section 4. It works only after you turn it on yourself in your device's Accessibility settings.
- Foreground service (special use) — Runs only while "Every time the screen turns off" is selected for automatic wallpaper changes, to notice the screen turning off.
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS, Android 13+) — Asked only when you choose "Every time the screen turns off", and used only for the silent notification shown while that option is on.
- Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) — After your phone restarts, redraws your widgets and schedules the automatic wallpaper changes again.
- Google Play billing (com.android.vending.BILLING) — Lets you buy Premium through Google Play.
- Internet (INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) — Used only for crash reports, Google Play purchases, in-app reviews and in-app updates, downloading the list of our other apps, and showing this privacy policy in the app. Widgets, wallpapers, and the status bar design do not need an internet connection.
- Apps on your home screen — Not a permission you grant. The app can see only the apps that have an icon on your home screen, and uses this to list apps for the "Open an app…" tap action and to check whether our other apps are already installed. It does not use the permission to see all installed apps (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES), and the list is not stored or sent.
- No photo permission — The app does not ask for permission to read your photos or files. Photos and folders come only through the Android system photo picker and folder picker.
