Privacy Policy
Liquid Launcher · Last updated: June 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Liquid Launcher (the “App”), published by BitByte (“we”, “us”), handles information when you use it. We have built the App to be private by design: it runs on your device and does not require an account.
The short version
- We do not collect, sell, or share your personal information.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party data-collection SDKs.
- Your settings, home-screen layout, folders, reminders, and preferences are stored only on your device.
- The only information that leaves your device is a weather request (a place name and its coordinates) sent to the weather provider, and only if you add the weather widget.
Information stored on your device
The App stores the following locally, in its private app storage, to make it work. This data is not transmitted to us:
- Your home-screen and dock layout, folders, and widgets.
- Appearance and behavior settings (icon shape, theme, wallpaper choice, gestures, etc.).
- A wallpaper image you choose from your device, copied into the App’s private storage so it can be displayed.
- Reminders or notes you create within the App.
- App-launch counts, used only on-device to order suggestions.
This information remains on your device and is removed when you uninstall the App or clear its data.
Weather (optional)
If you use the weather widget, the App fetches forecasts from Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com). To do this it sends the city name you enter and the geographic coordinates derived from it to Open-Meteo’s public API. No account, API key, or device GPS location is used, and the request is not associated with your identity by us. Open-Meteo’s handling of requests is governed by their own privacy terms; please review them at open-meteo.com/en/terms. If you do not add the weather widget, the App makes no such requests.
Permissions and why they are used
- Query installed apps (
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES): a launcher must list and open the apps installed on your device. App names and icons are read on-device only and are never uploaded. - Internet / network state (
INTERNET,ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): used solely to fetch weather from Open-Meteo when the weather widget is enabled. - Read calendar (
READ_CALENDAR): used only to display upcoming events in the optional calendar widget. Events are read on-device and are never transmitted or stored by us. - Set wallpaper (
SET_WALLPAPER): used to apply your chosen wallpaper to the home and lock screen. - Vibrate (
VIBRATE): used for haptic feedback. - Expand status bar (
EXPAND_STATUS_BAR): used to open the notification shade via a gesture. - Request app uninstall (
REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES): used to start the system uninstall dialog when you choose to remove an app. The system handles the actual uninstall.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, messages, precise location, browsing history, advertising identifiers, or device identifiers. The App contains no ads and no analytics or crash-reporting services.
Children’s privacy
The App is suitable for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Data security and retention
Because your data stays in the App’s private storage on your device, its security depends on your device’s own protections. We retain none of it on any server. Uninstalling the App or clearing its data permanently removes the information it stored.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
