Privacy Policy — Findsense

Last updated: July 5, 2026

Findsense is an intent-based app search application. This policy explains what data the app accesses and what it does with it.

Summary

Findsense search works 100% offline. We do not collect, store, or share personal information. The internet is used in a single case, and only when you request it: fetching an app's public description (see "Network permissions").

Data the app accesses (and why)

List of installed apps (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission): used only on your device to display and search your apps. The list never leaves the device.
App usage statistics (optional "Usage access" permission): used only by the "Cleanup" feature, to show which apps you use least. It is optional, granted manually by you, and the data never leaves the device.
Screen overlay (optional "Draw over apps" permission): used only to show the floating quick-access button, if you enable it. It collects nothing.
Vibration (VIBRATE permission): only the haptic feedback when hiding/showing the floating button. It collects nothing.

Local processing

The meaning-based search (artificial intelligence) runs entirely on your device, using a model embedded in the app. Your searches and app list are not transmitted over the internet.

Words you add

If you use the "Teach" feature to describe an app in your own words, that text is saved only locally on your device (the app's private storage) and used solely to improve search. It is not sent anywhere.

Data we do NOT collect

We do not collect: name, email, location, contacts, app content, browsing history, advertising identifiers, or any analytics data.

Network permissions

The app uses the internet (INTERNET permission) exclusively when you tap "fetch description from Play" or "from the web" in an app's menu. At that moment, Findsense opens that app's public page on Google Play (or a web search) to bring the official description and help search understand what the app does.

The only data sent is the package name of the app whose text you requested (e.g. com.example.app) — needed to load the corresponding public page.
We do not send your searches, your app list, identifiers, or any personal data.
The fetched description is stored only locally on your device.
If you never use this feature, the app makes no network connection at all.

Children

Findsense is not directed at children under 13 and does not collect data from anyone.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes will be published on this same page with a new update date.
