This privacy policy applies to the Android mobile application Oasis Minimalist Launcher (identified by package name com.umbrabyte.minimalist.launcher), developed and published by Umbrabyte Apps (operated by sole proprietor Cristian Donet Segura). It complements the general Umbrabyte Privacy Policy and constitutes the official, binding privacy policy linked inside the mobile application and displayed within its Google Play Store listing.
Plain language summary: Oasis Minimalist Launcher turns your phone into a calm, distraction-free space for focus and intentional living. All app indexing, screen time counting, notification digests, blocked app schedules, and custom preferences are processed and stored strictly locally on your device in SQLite Room and Android DataStore. Umbrabyte operates no external servers to intercept or monitor your phone usage, requires no user account, includes zero advertisements, and never sells or rents personal data. Data only leaves your device when Google Play processes an optional Oasis PRO subscription/purchase or when you contact direct support.
This plain-language summary is provided for clarity and does not replace the comprehensive legal and technical terms set forth below.
1. Scope and key facts
Oasis Minimalist Launcher is an ethical, typography-first Android home screen and digital wellbeing utility. It replaces dopamine-triggering interfaces, red notification badges, and infinite algorithmic feeds with a clean, distraction-free environment, an alphabetical A-Z app drawer, notification batching, app time limits, mindful breathing pauses, and contextual focus profiles.
- No user account or login credentials: The core launcher never asks you to create an account, profile, provide an email address, or enter personal credentials.
- 100% On-Device Local Processing: Screen time counting, usage analytics, app categorization, notification filtering, and quiet schedules operate entirely on your physical hardware.
- No Umbrabyte cloud infrastructure: Umbrabyte does not own, operate, or maintain intermediate backend servers, telemetric databases, or user-tracking pipelines. Your list of installed applications and personal digital habits are never uploaded to remote servers.
- Zero advertisements or marketing trackers: The application contains zero advertising SDKs, commercial tracking libraries, or affiliate monitors. The application manifest explicitly strips (
tools:node="remove") permissions associated with advertising identifiers (AD_IDandAdServices). - No data sales or commercial broker sharing: Umbrabyte does not sell, rent, lease, or trade user personal information or behavioral insights under any circumstances.
- No automated profiling or surveillance: We do not conduct automated profiling, behavioral scoring, or automated decision-making.
- Platform integration: Optional Oasis PRO purchases and subscriptions are handled securely via official Google Play Billing APIs. In-App Update checks utilize official Google Play Core APIs.
