Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

Edge Light Notification ("we", "our", or "us") is a notification customization application that displays edge lighting effects and popup cards when notifications arrive on your device. This policy explains how we handle your information.

1. Nature of App

Edge Light Notification is a visual notification enhancement tool. It intercepts incoming notifications to display customizable edge lighting animations and notification popup cards over your screen. The app operates entirely on your device and does not transmit notification content to any external server.

2. Information We Collect

• Notification Data (On-Device Only): The app reads notification titles, text, sender names, and app icons solely to display them in the popup card overlay. This data is used in real-time and is never stored, logged, or transmitted off your device.
• Device Information: Our advertising partners may collect device identifiers (such as Advertising ID), device model, operating system version, and network information for the purpose of serving and measuring advertisements.
• Usage Data: Advertising partners may collect app usage data and interaction data with ads to provide relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.
• Purchase Information: If you make an in-app purchase, transaction details are handled entirely by Google Play. We do not collect or store any payment information.

3. Permissions We Use

The app requests the following permissions, each essential for core functionality:

• Notification Access: Required to read incoming notifications and display edge lighting effects and popup cards.
• Display Over Other Apps (Overlay): Required to draw the edge lighting animation and notification popup over your current screen.
• Wake Lock: Used to briefly turn on the screen when a notification arrives while the device is locked, so you can see the edge lighting effect.
• Foreground Service: Keeps the notification listener active and responsive, even on devices with aggressive battery management.
• Boot Completed: Allows the service to restart automatically after a device reboot.
• Query Installed Apps: Used for per-app notification filtering, allowing you to choose which apps trigger edge lighting.
• Battery Optimization Exemption: Requested to prevent the operating system from killing the notification listener service in the background.

4. How We Use Your Data

• To display edge lighting effects and notification popup cards on your screen.
• To store your customization preferences (style, colors, timing, per-app filters) locally on your device.
• To wake the screen and show notifications on the lock screen when enabled.
• To serve advertisements within the app (free version).

5. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to operate the app:

• Google AdMob: Used for serving advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers, usage data, and interaction data to provide personalized or non-personalized ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Vungle (Liftoff): Used as an ad mediation partner. Vungle may collect device and usage information for ad delivery and measurement. See Vungle's Privacy Policy.
• Other Ad Mediation Partners: We may work with additional third-party advertising networks through mediation. These partners may collect identifiers (such as Advertising ID) and usage data to provide relevant advertisements and analyze ad performance. Each partner operates under their own privacy policy.
• Google Play Billing: Used to process in-app purchases. All payment handling is managed by Google Play. We do not have access to your payment details.

6. In-App Purchases

Edge Light Notification offers a one-time, lifetime purchase option that removes all advertisements and provides unlimited access to all app features. This is a non-recurring payment with no subscription or auto-renewal. The purchase is processed through Google Play and can be restored on any device signed into the same Google account.

7. Data Storage

All user preferences and customization settings are stored locally on your device using Android's SharedPreferences. No account creation is required, and no data is synced to external servers. Notification content is processed in real-time and is never persisted to storage.

8. Children's Privacy

Edge Light Notification is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our advertising partners, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Data Security

Since all app data is stored locally on your device, its security is governed by your device's own security measures (screen lock, encryption, etc.). We do not operate servers that store user data. For data collected by our advertising partners, please refer to their respective security practices.

10. Your Choices

• Ad Personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device's ad settings (Settings > Google > Ads).
• Remove Ads: You can purchase the lifetime ad-free upgrade to remove all advertisements from the app.
• Notification Access: You can revoke notification access at any time through your device's Settings, which will disable the edge lighting functionality.
• Per-App Filtering: You can control which apps trigger edge lighting effects within the app's settings.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
