EyesAway

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 02, 2026

EyesAway is developed by Samuel Silva. This Privacy Policy explains how EyesAway handles information when you use this application.

1. Information we collect

EyesAway does not require users to create an account or directly provide personal information such as a name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone recordings, or other personally identifiable information.

EyesAway uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display advertisements. As part of its operation, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share certain information, including IP address, user interactions with the application and advertisements, diagnostic and performance information, and device or account identifiers such as advertising identifiers where applicable.

Google states that this information may be used for purposes including advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.

EyesAway does not operate its own user-account system or developer-operated database containing this advertising data.

2. Information stored locally

EyesAway stores certain information locally on your device in order to provide its functionality and remember your preferences.

• Screen-time and break-time durations;
• Current timer state and remaining time;
• Selected language;
• Sound preferences and selected notification sound;
• Vibration preferences;
• Notification preferences;
• Application setup and welcome-screen preferences.

This information is used only for the operation and configuration of the application.

EyesAway does not transmit this locally stored information to the developer.

3. App permissions

EyesAway may request or use the following Android permissions.

• Notifications: Used to display timer notifications and alert you when a screen-time or a break period has ended.
• Exact alarms: Used to schedule precisely timed screen-time and break-time phase transitions, including when the device is idle or the application is not actively open. Exact alarm access is used only for timer functionality and is not used to collect or transmit user data.
• Wake lock: Used briefly during short break periods to keep the timer processing active while the screen is off.
• Vibration: Used to provide optional vibration alerts.
• Foreground Service: Used to keep an active EyesAway timer running when the application is not currently visible on the screen.
• Internet: Used to access Google advertising and privacy messaging services, request and display advertisements, and communicate with those services as required for advertising functionality.

These permissions are used only to provide the corresponding application features.

EyesAway does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or other personal content.

4. Internet Access

EyesAway uses an Internet connection to access Google advertising and privacy messaging services and to request and display advertisements.

The application's core timer functionality does not require an Internet connection. Timer settings, durations, sounds, vibration preferences, and other EyesAway configuration data continue to be handled locally on the device.

Sounds and voice prompts included with EyesAway are stored within the application and are played locally on the device. No audio is recorded from the user or sent to an external service.

Android backup or device-transfer services may independently handle locally stored application data as described in the section below.

5. Android Backup and Device Transfer

EyesAway stores its settings and timer information locally on your device.

Depending on your Android device, account, and backup settings, some locally stored application data may be included in backup or device-transfer mechanisms provided by the Android operating system or the user's backup provider.

These backup and restoration processes are managed by the operating system or backup provider and are not operated or accessed by the EyesAway developer.

6. Sharing of information

The EyesAway developer does not sell or rent personal information provided directly by users.

EyesAway uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK. As part of providing advertising services, Google and advertising services associated with Google Mobile Ads may collect, process, and share certain information as described in this Privacy Policy and in Google's applicable privacy documentation.

This may include IP address, application and advertisement interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers where applicable.

Advertising data is handled by Google and its services according to their applicable privacy policies and user privacy choices.

7. Data Security

EyesAway is designed to minimize data handling by keeping application settings and timer information locally on the user's device.

The current version does not transmit personal or sensitive user data to developer-operated servers.

Locally stored application data is subject to the security mechanisms provided by the Android operating system and the user's device.

Information transmitted by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is handled by Google. Google states that data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).

8. Data Retention and Deletion

EyesAway retains locally stored settings and timer information for as long as they remain stored by the application on the user's device.

Users can remove locally stored EyesAway data by clearing the application's storage through Android settings or by uninstalling the application.

Data that may have been included in an Android or account-based backup is subject to the retention and deletion controls of the relevant operating system or backup provider.

EyesAway does not maintain user accounts or developer-operated user databases, so there is no separate account or server-side user data to delete.

Information processed by Google advertising and privacy services is subject to Google's own retention, deletion, and privacy practices. EyesAway does not operate the servers used by Google Mobile Ads and cannot directly delete data maintained by Google as part of its advertising services.

9. Third-Party Services

EyesAway integrates the following Google services:

Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob): Used to request and display advertisements. The SDK may collect and process information including IP address, user interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers for purposes such as advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.

Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): Used to present privacy and consent messages where required and to allow eligible users to manage their advertising privacy choices.

The availability and type of privacy or consent options may vary depending on the user's applicable region and privacy requirements.

Google's processing of information is governed by Google's applicable privacy policies and terms.

The application uses standard Android and AndroidX libraries to provide application functionality.

System-level services such as Android backup, application permissions, and notifications are provided and managed by the Android operating system.

Where required, EyesAway uses Google's User Messaging Platform to obtain or manage advertising-related privacy choices before requesting advertisements. Users for whom a privacy options entry point is required can access the "Privacy Options" control from the application's settings screen.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if EyesAway's functionality or data-handling practices change.

Any changes will be reflected on this page, and the "Last updated" date will be revised accordingly.

Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
