🔒 ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE API DISCLOSURE & PRIVACY POLICY 🔒
To provide its core digital detox and app blocking functionality, Doomscroll Detox requires the Android AccessibilityService API.
• Why we use the Accessibility Service API: This permission allows the application to detect when target distracting applications (such as short-video streaming platforms or social networks) are opened or actively running in the foreground. Upon detection, our service activates the digital detox focus intervention overlay to help you adhere to your custom usage limits and interrupt addiction loops.
• Data Privacy & Zero Collection Assurance: We strictly respect your privacy. The AccessibilityService API is used exclusively for local device screen detection of your designated blocked target applications. Doomscroll Detox does NOT use this service to collect, store, or transmit any personal data, passwords, keystrokes, screen contents, or private communications. It does not modify user settings without your permission or evade Android built-in privacy controls and notifications.
