Privacy Policy for NoNoShorts

Last Updated: March 8, 2026

NoNoShorts (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy. This App is designed with a privacy-first approach, meaning we do not require accounts and process your data locally on your device.

1. Information We Collect and Process

1.1 No Account Required

You do not need to create an account or provide any personally identifiable information (PII) like your name or email to use NoNoShorts.

1.2 Local Device Processing

Any data related to your usage, such as time spent on shorts or the number of videos watched, is processed and stored exclusively on your device. This information is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

1.3 Information Collected via Accessibility Service

NoNoShorts utilizes Android’s Accessibility Service API to detect and block short-form video content.

• Technical Scope: The service only scans for User Interface (UI) identifiers (such as class names and resource IDs) within third-party applications supported by the Service (including but not limited to YouTube and Instagram) to determine if a “Shorts” or “Reels” section is active.
• Strict Anti-Collection Policy:
  • We do not read, collect, or store any sensitive content, personal messages, keystrokes, or any user-generated content.
  • No Input Modification: All user touch and scroll gestures captured via the overlay are relayed to the target application without any modification, indexing, or logging.
  • We do not share any information accessed through the Accessibility Service with third parties.
  • The service is used solely for real-time interaction control as a digital wellbeing tool.

1.4 Advertising and Advertising ID (Google AdMob)

For free version users, the App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

• Data Used: Google may collect your device’s Advertising ID, device model, and OS version to serve relevant ads.
• User Control: You can reset or opt-out of personalized ads at any time through your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads > Reset or Delete Advertising ID).

1.5 Subscription Data (Google Play Billing)

When you purchase a Premium subscription, the transaction is processed by Google Play. We do not store your credit card or financial information. Google provides us with a “purchase token” to verify your subscription status.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the App’s core features (Shorts blocking).
• To show you relevant advertisements (for free users).
• To generate personal usage statistics for you.
• To verify your subscription status.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We share information only with:

• Google AdMob: For ad-serving purposes.
• Google Play Services: For subscription management and app functionality.

4. User Rights and Controls

• Permission Control: You can disable the Accessibility Service or Notification permissions at any time in your device settings.
• Data Deletion: Since your usage statistics are stored locally, you can clear them by clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling the App.

5. Data Retention and Destruction

• Retention Period: Since all usage data is stored locally on your device, we retain it only as long as the App is installed.
• Destruction Procedure: All locally stored data and statistics are immediately and permanently destroyed when you uninstall the App or clear the App’s storage in your device settings.

6. Privacy Officer and Contact
