Eye Comfort Shield

Last Updated: August 2026

1. Introduction

Eye Comfort Shield ("the App", "we", "our", or "us") provides screen-comfort and digital wellness features such as blue light filtering, screen dimming, reading modes, reminders, protection schedules, usage statistics, and related tools.

We respect your privacy and are committed to explaining clearly how information may be handled when you use the App.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

Depending on the features you use, the App may store information locally on your device, including:

This information is used to provide the App's features and personalize your experience.

3. Screen Overlay Permission

Eye Comfort Shield may request Android's "Display over other apps" permission.

This permission allows the App to display the blue light filter or screen-dimming overlay above other applications when you enable protection.

The overlay permission is used to provide the App's core screen-protection functionality. The App does not use this permission to read the contents of other applications.

4. Notifications

If you grant notification permission, the App may send notifications related to:

You can manage notification permissions through Android's system settings.

5. Alarms and Scheduled Features

The App may use Android alarm and scheduling functionality to provide features such as automatic protection schedules, reminders, and sunrise/sunset-based scheduling.

Depending on your Android version and configuration, the App may request permissions related to exact alarms. These permissions are used to trigger scheduled App functionality at the configured time.

6. Background and Foreground Services

When protection is enabled, the App may use an Android foreground service to maintain the screen-protection overlay and related functionality.

The service is used to provide the feature you have explicitly enabled and does not grant the App permission to access private content inside other applications.

7. Automatic Startup

If you enable automatic scheduling or related protection functionality, the App may receive the Android device boot event so it can restore or evaluate scheduled protection settings after the device restarts.

This functionality is used only to restore or evaluate the App's configured background features.

8. Internet Access

The App requires network access for certain online services, including advertising, consent management, application updates, and notification-related services.

Your locally created protection settings and activity are not intentionally uploaded to a remote server by the core screen-filter functionality.

9. Advertising Services

Eye Comfort Shield uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements.

Advertising providers may collect or process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, approximate location, IP address, diagnostic information, and information about advertising interactions, subject to applicable settings, consent requirements, and the policies of the advertising provider.

Google may use this information to provide, measure, and improve advertising services, including personalized or non-personalized advertising depending on applicable consent and settings.

For more information about Google's privacy practices, please review Google's applicable privacy documentation.

10. Consent Management

Where required, the App may use Google's User Messaging Platform or other applicable consent-management functionality to request and manage advertising-related privacy choices.

Your available choices may depend on your location, applicable laws, device settings, and the services being used.

11. Push Notifications and Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party notification services, including OneSignal, to support push notifications and notification delivery.

Such services may process information necessary to deliver notifications, such as device identifiers, push subscription information, IP address, operating-system information, and notification-related technical information.

These third-party services process information according to their respective privacy policies and terms.

12. Analytics and Diagnostics

The App may use third-party libraries or services that process technical information required for advertising, notification delivery, application operation, diagnostics, or service reliability.

Such information may include device type, operating-system version, application version, network information, and other technical data necessary for the relevant service.

13. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed or shared with service providers when necessary to operate the App, including advertising, consent management, notification delivery, application maintenance, security, and related services.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, or the security of the App.

14. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App and its supporting services.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Data Retention

Information stored locally by the App generally remains on your device until you delete it, clear the App's data, uninstall the App, or use an available reset or deletion feature.

Information processed by third-party service providers may be retained according to their respective policies and applicable legal requirements.

16. Children's Privacy

Eye Comfort Shield is not specifically directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of creating personal profiles or accounts.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through a service associated with the App, please contact us so that appropriate action can be considered.

17. Your Choices

Depending on your Android device and location, you may be able to control or disable:

Disabling certain permissions may prevent some App features from working correctly.

18. Uninstalling the App

You can stop the App's functionality by uninstalling it from your device. Android may remove locally stored application data during or after uninstallation according to your device's configuration.

19. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may use or reference third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services that operate independently from us.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before using them.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, applicable laws, or the services we use.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published with a revised "Last Updated" date.
