DeviceLab Monitor is an Android system information and device optimization application built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It provides real-time system monitoring, performance analytics, battery analysis, storage management, cache cleaning, duplicate file detection, photo compression, RAM optimization, app management, and performance benchmarking. The App is designed to help you understand and optimize your device's performance.

Minimum Android Version: Android 8.0 (API 26)
Target Android Version: Android 15 (API 35)

2.1 Data Collected Locally (On-Device Only)

The App collects and processes the following device data locally on your device only. This data is stored in a local Room database and DataStore preferences and is never transmitted to our servers:

• System Snapshots — CPU usage, memory utilization, storage capacity and usage, battery level and health, device temperature, and system uptime. Historical snapshots are stored in the local Room database for the Analytics Dashboard and trend analysis.
• App Usage Records — Foreground app usage times and frequency (requires PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission). Used solely to display your app usage statistics within the App.
• Installed Application Data — App names, package names, sizes, version numbers, and permissions for the App Manager feature. No data from other applications' internal storage is read.
• Device Information — Device manufacturer, model, Android version, kernel version, screen resolution, and hardware specifications for the Device Info display.
• Battery Analytics — Charging state, battery health, temperature, voltage, and capacity for battery monitoring and saver features.
• Storage Analysis — File type distribution, storage usage breakdown, duplicate file detection, and cache sizes. File metadata (size, type, date) is analyzed but no file contents are read or transmitted.
• Running Processes — Active process names and their resource consumption (CPU, memory) for the RAM Booster and Live Monitor features.
• Performance Benchmarks — CPU and memory benchmark results stored locally for device performance comparison.
• User Preferences — App settings such as theme preference, notification preferences, and monitoring intervals, stored locally in DataStore.

2.2 Data Collected by Third-Party Services

The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect the following information as governed by Google's Privacy Policy:

• Advertising Identifier — Your device's advertising ID for ad personalization and measurement.
• General Location — Country or region-level location data (not precise GPS coordinates) for serving regionally relevant advertisements.
• Device Information — Device model, operating system version, and screen size for ad formatting and targeting.
• Ad Interaction Data — Impressions, clicks, and engagement metrics for ad performance measurement.

The App also uses the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain your consent for personalized advertising in compliance with GDPR and CCPA requirements. You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time (see Section 9).

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

The App does not collect, transmit, or store:

• Personal identification information (name, email, address, phone number)
• Contacts, call logs, SMS messages, or communication data
• Photos, videos, documents, or personal file contents
• Browsing history, search queries, or internet activity
• Passwords, credentials, PINs, or authentication data
• GPS location or location history
• Microphone audio or camera images
• Keystroke logging or input monitoring
• Data from other applications' internal storage
• Biometric data

All locally collected data is used exclusively for the following on-device purposes:

• Real-Time Monitoring — Displaying live CPU, memory, battery, and storage metrics in the App's monitoring dashboard and Live Monitor.
• Historical Analytics — Storing system snapshots in the local Room database to generate performance trend charts in the Analytics Dashboard.
• App Management — Listing installed applications with sizes, permissions, and resource consumption to help you manage your device.
• Device Optimization — RAM boosting, cache cleaning, duplicate file detection, photo compression, and storage analysis to improve device performance.
• Battery Management — Monitoring battery metrics over time to provide charging recommendations, health assessments, and battery saver functionality.
• Performance Benchmarking — Running CPU and memory benchmarks and profiling app performance to assess your device's capabilities.
• Notifications — Generating local notifications for threshold alerts (low battery, low storage, high temperature) based on your configured preferences.

Third-party advertising data collected by Google AdMob is used solely for the purpose of serving advertisements within the App and measuring ad performance. We do not have access to or control over AdMob's data collection practices beyond the configurations we set.

The App requests only the permissions necessary to provide its monitoring and optimization functionality. Each permission is used solely for the purpose described:

• PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS — Required to access app usage statistics. You must explicitly grant this permission in Android Settings. Used only to display your app usage data within the App.
• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES — Required on Android 11+ to enumerate all installed applications for the App Manager, RAM Booster, Battery Analyzer, Storage Analyzer, Cache Cleaner, and Analytics Dashboard features. All app information is processed locally and never transmitted.
• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE — Required on Android 12 and below for storage analysis, duplicate file detection, and photo compression features. On Android 13+, scoped media permissions are used instead. No file contents are transmitted.
• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO / READ_MEDIA_AUDIO — Required on Android 13+ for storage analysis and media file management. Replaces READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on newer Android versions.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — Required on Android 13+ to display monitoring alerts and threshold notifications. You control which notifications are enabled.
• INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — Required to display advertisements through Google AdMob and to check network connectivity status. No device monitoring data is transmitted over the network.

The App follows Android's principle of least privilege. You can revoke any permission at any time through your device's Settings app, though this may limit the functionality of related features.

• Local Room Database — System snapshots and performance history are stored in a local Room (SQLite) database within the App's private storage directory. This directory is protected by Android's application sandboxing and is not accessible to other applications.
• DataStore Preferences — User settings and preferences are stored using Jetpack DataStore in the App's private storage.
• No Cloud Storage — The App does not upload, sync, or back up any of your device data to cloud services, remote servers, or third-party storage providers.
• No Server Transmission — Your device monitoring data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. The INTERNET permission is used exclusively for AdMob ad delivery.
• Application Sandboxing — Android's built-in application sandbox ensures that the App's database and preference files are isolated from other applications on your device.
• User Control — You can clear all App data at any time through Android Settings > Apps > DeviceLab Monitor > Storage > Clear Data. Uninstalling the App removes all stored data.

6.1 Libraries That Do Not Collect Data

The following libraries are used to provide App functionality and do not collect or transmit user data:

• Jetpack Compose — Android's modern UI toolkit for building native interfaces.
• Room Persistence Library — Local SQLite database abstraction. All data remains on-device.
• Jetpack DataStore — Local key-value and typed storage for preferences.
• Hilt (Dagger) — Dependency injection framework. Does not handle or transmit user data.

For AdMob-related data, exercise your rights through Google's privacy controls and your device's advertising settings.

The App is a general-purpose system monitoring tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the App stores device data locally and does not require account registration, there is no direct collection of children's personal information as defined by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The App does not contain in-app purchases directed at children or social features. Advertisements displayed through AdMob are served in compliance with Google's policies regarding child-directed content.

In accordance with Google Play's Data Safety requirements:

• Data collected: Device performance metrics (stored locally on-device only). Advertising identifiers and device information (collected by Google AdMob for advertising).
• Data shared with third parties: Advertising data shared with Google AdMob as described in this Policy.
• Data handling is secure: Device data is stored within Android's application sandbox. Ad data transmission uses encrypted connections.
• Data can be deleted: Users can delete all local data by clearing App storage or uninstalling. AdMob data can be managed through Google's privacy controls.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
