Privacy Policy

Plainly ("the app") is a simple home screen for Android phones, made by TTSoong. Effective date: 2026-10-14

The short version

What the app accesses, and why

Approximate location (optional). If you allow it, the app reads your phone's approximate location to show the local weather on the clock card. Before sending, the app rounds the coordinates to two decimal places (roughly 1 km). The rounded coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com), a weather data service, which returns the current temperature and conditions. No name, account, or device identifier is sent with the request; like any website, the service can see the IP address the request comes from. The app does not store a history of your location. You can instead pick a city by hand, in which case your location is not used at all. The app never requests precise (GPS) location and never accesses location in the background.

Notifications (optional). If you turn on "read notifications aloud" and grant notification access in your phone's settings, the app can see the notifications on your phone — the app they come from, the sender or title, and the text. It uses them for one thing only: speaking them out loud with your phone's text-to-speech engine, for the apps you select and during the hours you set. Notification content is not stored and not sent anywhere by the app. You can turn this off at any time in the app or in your phone's notification access settings.

List of installed apps. As a home screen, the app needs to see which apps are installed so it can show them, open them, and name them when reading notifications. This list stays on your phone.

Phone calls. You can add contacts' phone numbers to tiles on the home screen and call them with one tap, or use the built-in dial pad. The app asks for permission to place calls so the call can start directly after you confirm. The numbers you enter are stored only on your phone, as part of the app's settings. The app does not read your contacts and does not read your call history.

Photos you choose. If you set a photo as the background or on a tile, the app copies that photo into its own private storage on your phone. It only receives the photos you pick in the system photo picker.

Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, ringer mode, flashlight. The quick-toggles panel shows and changes these settings at your request. Nothing about them leaves your phone.

Notifications shown by the app. While a notification is being read aloud, the app shows its own notification with a "stop" button.

Purchases

The app offers a one-time purchase to unlock extra appearance options. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play; the app never sees your payment details. The app asks Google Play whether your Google account owns the unlock and keeps that yes/no answer on your phone.

Backups

Reporting a problem

"Report a problem" opens your email app with a draft addressed to us. The draft contains your phone model and Android version, your app settings (which include the phone numbers on your tiles and the names of the apps on your home screen), and the app's error log. Nothing is sent unless you press send, and you can edit or delete any part of the draft first. We use these emails only to diagnose and fix the problem.

What we do not do

Deleting your data

All app data lives on your phone. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, deletes it. If you emailed us a problem report and want it deleted, write to us and we will delete it.

Changes

If the app starts handling data differently, this page will be updated and the effective date changed before the update is released.

隱私權政策

順手桌面(Plainly,以下稱「本 App」)是一款簡單好用的 Android 手機桌面,由 TTSoong 製作。 生效日期:2026-10-14

簡單說

本 App 會用到什麼、為什麼

大概位置(可不開)。 你同意之後,本 App 會讀取手機的大概位置,用來在時鐘卡上顯示當地天氣。送出之前會先把座標四捨五入到小數兩位(約 1 公里),再傳給天氣資料服務 Open-Meteo(open-meteo.com),由它回傳目前的氣溫與天氣狀況。請求裡不帶姓名、帳號或裝置識別碼;跟瀏覽任何網站一樣,對方看得到請求來源的 IP 位址。本 App 不會留存你的位置紀錄。你也可以改成手動選城市,這樣就完全不會用到位置。本 App 不會要求精確(GPS)位置,也不會在背景讀取位置。

通知(可不開)。 你開啟「把通知唸出來」,並在手機設定裡允許通知存取之後,本 App 就看得到這支手機上的通知——是哪個 App 的、誰傳的或標題、以及內容。用途只有一個:在你勾選的 App、你設定的時段內,用手機的語音引擎把它唸出來。本 App 不會把通知內容存起來,也不會傳到任何地方。你隨時可以在本 App 或手機的通知存取設定裡關掉。

已安裝的 App 清單。 身為桌面,本 App 需要知道手機裡裝了哪些 App,才能把它們顯示出來、打開它們,以及在唸通知時說出是哪個 App。這份清單只留在手機裡。

打電話。 你可以把親友的電話號碼放到桌面的磁磚上,點一下就撥出,或使用內建的撥號鍵盤。本 App 請求撥打電話的權限,是為了在你確認之後直接撥出。你輸入的號碼只存在手機裡,是本 App 設定的一部分。本 App 不會讀取你的通訊錄,也不會讀取通話紀錄。

你選的相片。 你把相片設成背景或放到磁磚上時,本 App 會把那張相片複製一份到自己在手機裡的私有空間。它只拿得到你在系統相片挑選器裡選的那幾張。

藍牙、Wi‑Fi、鈴聲模式、手電筒。 快捷開關面板依你的操作顯示與切換這些設定,相關資訊不會離開手機。

本 App 自己發的通知。 通知朗讀進行時,本 App 會顯示一則帶有「停止」按鈕的通知。

購買

本 App 提供一次付費、解鎖更多外觀選項。付款完全由 Google Play 處理,本 App 看不到你的付款資料。本 App 只會向 Google Play 詢問你的 Google 帳號是否已購買,並把「有/沒有」這個結果記在手機裡。

備份

回報問題

「回報問題」會打開你的寄信 App,並預先寫好一封寄給我們的信。信裡有手機型號與 Android 版本、你的 App 設定(包含磁磚上的電話號碼與桌面上的 App 名稱),以及本 App 的錯誤紀錄。你不按送出就不會寄出任何東西,送出前也可以修改或刪掉信裡的任何內容。我們只會用這些信來找出並修正問題。

我們不做的事

刪除你的資料

本 App 的資料全部都在你的手機裡。解除安裝,或在手機設定裡清除本 App 的儲存空間,資料就刪掉了。如果你曾經寄過問題回報信給我們、想要我們刪除,來信告知即可。

異動

本 App 處理資料的方式如有改變,會先更新這一頁與生效日期,再發佈新版。
