spot the differences Launcher — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026 · Package com.launcher.spotthedifferences

spot the differences Launcher (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is an Android home-screen launcher with a built-in game, published by Mind Engine Technologies LTD. This policy explains what data the app accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Summary

• The launcher runs on your device as your home screen. It shows your installed apps and may open a built-in web experience from our site.
• We use Google Firebase, Mixpanel, and AppsFlyer for aggregate analytics, and Google AdMob to show ads.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Permissions and how they are used

• Network access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) — to load remote configuration, analytics, ads, push notification registration, and any built-in web content hosted on our domain.
• Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) — so Google AdMob can serve and measure ads on Android 13 and later. You can reset or limit your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
• Approximate location (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) — only if you use an optional weather widget, to fetch local conditions at request time. Location is not stored or shared by the app when you do not use that feature.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) — to show onboarding prompts, optional messages, and push notifications if enabled. You can deny or revoke this permission in Android Settings.
• Installed apps — the launcher reads the list of apps installed on your device so it can show them on your home screen and app drawer. An optional backup feature, when enabled for your build, may store a snapshot of app names and version codes in our backend while this launcher is your default home app.
• Default home app — if you set the app as your default launcher, Android grants the permissions needed to replace your home screen. You can change your default launcher at any time in Android Settings.

Optional features stay off until you enable them and grant the related permission. You can revoke any permission at any time in Android Settings.

Analytics data

To understand how the app is used and to improve it, we collect aggregate app-activity and device data through Google Firebase, Mixpanel, and AppsFlyer — for example: app opens, feature usage, session length, app version, device model, OS version, install attribution, and coarse region derived from IP. This data is used for analytics and product improvement. It is not used to identify you personally.

Advertising

The app is free and supported by ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may use a device advertising identifier and related data to serve and measure ads, in line with Google’s policies. You can reset or limit your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

Third-party services

• Google Firebase / Google Play services — firebase.google.com/support/privacy, Google Privacy Policy
• Mixpanel — mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy
• AppsFlyer — appsflyer.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Google AdMob — AdMob & privacy

Data sharing and retention

We share data only with the service providers above, to operate analytics, attribution, and ads on our behalf. We do not sell personal data. Analytics, attribution, and advertising data are retained according to each provider’s retention policy.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

• Change or remove the app as your default launcher in Android Settings.
• Revoke Location or Notifications access in Android Settings.
• Reset or limit your advertising ID in Android Settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
