AppManagerNG Privacy Policy

(DRAFT REVISION NO. 4)

1. Definition

  • "The Project" refers to AppManagerNG, including the git repository, issue tracker, release artifacts, and maintainer-operated project spaces.
  • "We", "Us", and similar capitalized pronouns refer to the maintainers of The Project.
  • "E-Mail" or "E-Mails" refers to messages sent directly to the maintainers of The Project.
  • "The Software" refers to AppManagerNG software distributed by its maintainers.
  • "The Project Hosting Providers" refers to GitHub and any future official project hosting service linked from the repository.
  • "Third-party Services" refers to The Project Hosting Providers along with VirusTotal, Pithus, Obtainium, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, and any future hosted translation service linked from the repository.
  • "Third-party Websites" refers to websites We do not control or operate.
  • "You", "Yours", and similar capitalized pronouns refer to anyone who uses The Software or has contributed to The Project in any capacity.
  • "PII" refers to personally identifiable information.

2. Information Collected from You

2.1. The Project

We DO NOT collect any information that You have not provided voluntarily. The sources of this information include your contributions on GitHub, issue comments, pull requests, discussions, and any E-Mails you send. This information may include PII, such as Your real name and E-Mail address. If You send crash reports and logs, they may also contain non-PII details such as Your device name, operating system version, software version, language, and more.

The official project page is the GitHub repository: https://github.com/SysAdminDoc/AppManagerNG. GitHub may collect traffic, account, and interaction data under GitHub's own privacy policy.

2.2. The Software

We DO NOT collect any information from the default floss build of The Software.

The optional full build contains network-capable features. These features are disabled until You opt in from Settings. When enabled:

  • VirusTotal lookups may upload APK files or file hashes to VirusTotal.
  • Pithus lookups may open or request reports from Pithus.
  • Debloat-definition and tracker-database update checks may fetch pinned files from GitHub-hosted raw content. These checks do not intentionally send your installed package list or device identifiers.

Local networking used for ADB-over-TCP, wireless ADB pairing, and the local privileged server is part of the app's device-control workflow and is not an analytics or telemetry channel.

2.3. Third-party Services

Depending on the services used, the privacy policy of the following services will apply to You:

  • GitHub (stars, issues, pull requests, discussions, releases, traffic, raw-content hosting)
  • VirusTotal (malware reports, file uploads, traffic)
  • Pithus (malware reports, APK analysis pages, traffic)
  • Obtainium (release-update tracking, if You use Obtainium)
  • F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid (repository metadata and app-store traffic, if AppManagerNG is distributed through those channels)
  • A future hosted translation service, if one is linked from the repository.

2.4. Third-party Websites

Links to Third-party Websites are provided for your benefit. For your safety, it is recommended that You read and understand the privacy policy of these websites before visiting them.

3. Data Retention Policy

Information collected through Git and GitHub is stored indefinitely and may be accessible to anyone, anywhere. E-Mails that do not have legal significance can be retained for a maximum of one year. E-Mails deemed legally significant can be kept permanently, both online and offline. To understand the data retention policies of the Third-party Services and Third-party Websites, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

4. Removal of Information

You can request the removal of PII by either sending Us an E-Mail or creating an issue. You can also request the removal of non-PII, but please note that the removal is not guaranteed. In both cases, the following types of information cannot be removed by Us:

  • Information present in a commit message, such as the Signed-off-by: tag
  • Information contained in a file, since it is part of git history
  • Forked repositories, which must be handled by the person who forked the repository
  • Reactions to GitHub issues, comments, and discussions, which You must remove Yourself
  • Information stored by Third-party Services or Third-party Websites, which You must ask them to remove

5. Changes to the Privacy Policy

All changes, except those related to spelling or grammar, will be announced on official project channels. Unless stated otherwise, the updated privacy policy will apply only to The Software released after the changes.
