ToddlerLock Privacy Policy
Effective 2026-08-17. Applies to the ToddlerLock Android app (package com.ruflo.toddlerlock).
The short version
ToddlerLock collects nothing, stores nothing off your phone, and transmits
nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics SDKs, no advertising, and no
servers of ours involved. Everything the app knows lives in its private storage
on your device and is deleted when you uninstall it.
What the app processes, and where it stays
- Your PIN is stored on your device as a one-way hash. We
never see it and cannot recover it.
- Your settings (chosen app, timers, hold and countdown
preferences, accessibility options) are stored on your device only.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Google Play Billing.
Google processes the payment; the app only learns whether a Plus entitlement
exists. We receive no payment details and store no purchase history of our
own.
Accessibility service disclosure
ToddlerLock uses Android's AccessibilityService API to do its core job while
the lock is active: it reads which app is in the foreground, closes the
notification shade and recent-apps screen when the lock is on, and returns the
phone to the app you chose if something else comes to the front. This
processing happens in real time, on your device.
- It does not read the text, messages, passwords, or content on your
screen for any purpose beyond identifying the foreground app and system
panels described above.
- It does not record, store, or transmit anything it observes.
- It does nothing at all while the lock is off.
- You can revoke the permission at any time in Settings, and the app asks
for your explicit consent inside the app before the system permission
screen ever opens.
Children
ToddlerLock is a tool for parents and guardians, operated by adults. A child
may touch the locked screen, but the app has no accounts, collects no data
from anyone, and shows no ads to anyone.
Permissions summary
- Display over other apps: draws the lock screen overlay.
- Accessibility: keeps the lock effective, as disclosed above.
- Foreground service: keeps the lock alive while active.
Changes
If a future version ever changes what the app processes, this policy will be
updated first and the change will be called out in the app before it applies.
