Application: App Manager 2027: APK & Audit (net.ticherhaz.appmanager)
Developer: Ticherhaz
Contact Email: ticherhaz@gmail.com
Last Updated: November 2026
Privacy Commitment: App Manager is architected with strict on-device data processing. All package analysis, permission audits, framework/tracker inspections, usage calculations, and storage breakdowns are performed 100% locally on your device. We never collect, upload, store, or sell your installed app inventory or personal data.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Ticherhaz ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the App Manager mobile application for Android. By installing, opening, or using App Manager, you acknowledge and agree to the data practices described in this policy.

2. Information Processed Locally on Your Device

To provide core application management, security auditing, and storage cleanup functionality, App Manager inspects the following technical metadata strictly within device memory (RAM) and local app-private storage:

  • Installed Package Metadata: Package names, application labels, icons, version numbers, target/minimum SDK levels, install/update timestamps, base APK file paths, and installation sources (e.g., Google Play Store vs. sideloaded APKs).
  • Declared Permissions & Embedded SDK Signatures: Manifest permissions declared by installed packages and read-only ZIP central-directory entry names inside installed APKs (never extracted to disk) to identify app frameworks (e.g., Flutter, React Native, Unity) and common analytics/advertising SDKs.
  • Storage & Usage Telemetry (Optional): Device storage capacity via StatFs, and—only if you explicitly grant the optional Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS) permission in Android Settings—per-app code/data/cache sizes via StorageStatsManager and aggregate foreground screen-time / last-used timestamps via UsageStatsManager to highlight inactive apps.
  • User-Initiated APK Export & Sharing: When you explicitly tap "Extract APK" or "Share APK", the selected app's base APK is copied locally to your public Downloads/AppManager folder via scoped MediaStore APIs or to a temporary app-private cache directory shared via an unexported FileProvider.

None of your installed package lists, usage statistics, or storage telemetry is ever transmitted to Ticherhaz or any external server.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, transmit, or request access to any of the following sensitive personal data:

  • Personal names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or account passwords.
  • Personal contacts, SMS messages, call logs, microphones, cameras, or personal photos/documents.
  • Precise or coarse GPS location coordinates.
  • Keystrokes, screen contents, or in-app user actions inside other applications.

4. Android Permissions & Prominent Disclosure

Permission Purpose & Data Handling
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES Core Utility Permission: Required on Android 11+ to scan, list, audit permissions, detect sideloaded/hidden apps, and manage all installed user and system packages on your device. Processed 100% on-device.
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS Optional Usage Access Permission: Granted only if you manually enable Usage Access in Android Settings. Used strictly on-device to read aggregate last-used timestamps, foreground screen time, and app data/cache storage sizes so you can find unused or bloated apps.
REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES User-Confirmed Uninstalls: Allows App Manager to launch the standard Android OS uninstallation confirmation dialog for apps you select. App Manager cannot silently uninstall any package without your explicit confirmation.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS Optional Local Alerts (Android 13+): Used solely to post local on-device notifications when a newly installed or updated package exhibits risk flags, and for weekly storage cleanup digests.
INTERNET & AD_ID Monetization & Billing: Used exclusively by Google Play In-App Billing (to verify optional PRO subscriptions) and Google AdMob / UMP SDK (to request consent and display ads to non-PRO users).

5. Third-Party Services & Network Activity

App Manager does not operate any proprietary backend servers. The application only communicates over the network through official Google SDKs for subscription verification, regulatory consent, and free-tier advertising:

  • Google AdMob (Google LLC): Displays banner, app-open, and interstitial advertisements to free-tier users. AdMob may access the Android Advertising ID (AAID), coarse IP address, and device diagnostics in accordance with your consent choices and Google's Advertising Policies. All ad loading and rendering is immediately disabled the moment a PRO subscription is active.
  • Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): Presents GDPR/EEA/UK and regional privacy consent forms prior to initializing personalized or non-personalized ads.
  • Google Play In-App Billing: Processes optional PRO subscription purchases and restores. Purchase receipts are cryptographically verified on-device using RSA signature verification; we never receive or store your payment card details.

For details on how Google handles data, visit Google Privacy & Terms.

6. Local Storage, Backup Rules & Hardware Keystore Security

App Manager stores your interface preferences (theme mode, color scheme, language, and sort/filter selections) in local Jetpack DataStore files:

  • Cloud & Device-Transfer Backups: Android Auto Backup rules (data_extraction_rules.xml and backup_rules.xml) restrict backups strictly to non-sensitive UI preferences (user_preferences.preferences_pb).
  • Cryptographic Entitlement Protection: Your verified PRO subscription status and audit checkpoints are excluded from cloud/ADB backups and protected on-device using an AndroidKeyStore hardware-backed HmacSHA256 integrity signature.
  • Runtime Integrity Verification: To protect users from tampered or repackaged malware clones, release builds verify package identity, APK signing-certificate SHA-256 digests, and runtime integrity entirely on-device.

You can erase all locally stored preferences and cached files at any time by clearing storage or uninstalling App Manager in Android System Settings.

7. Children's Privacy

App Manager is a general-audience system utility and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in applicable jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, UK GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Because Ticherhaz does not collect or store personal data on external servers, we do not maintain remote user profiles. You can exercise full control directly on your device at any time by:

  • Revoking POST_NOTIFICATIONS or PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS in Android Settings.
  • Resetting or deleting your Android Advertising ID in Settings > Google > Ads.
  • Clearing app data or uninstalling App Manager to permanently delete all local DataStore files.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new Android platform requirements, security enhancements, or legal obligations. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates the latest revision.
