Gammy Launcher Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to Gammy Launcher packages com.t9messenger.launcher.focus, com.t9messenger.launcher, and com.t9messenger.launcher.managed.
Developer: Gammy

Overview
Gammy Launcher turns an Android smartphone into a simpler phone experience with large controls, calling, text messaging, contacts, photos, alarms, calendar, audio tools, Bible reading, focus-friendly setup, and caregiver setup features. Gammy Focus, Gammy Full, and Gammy Managed are separate apps. Gammy Managed includes kiosk behavior for dedicated managed devices. Because Gammy Full and Gammy Managed can act as the user's home screen, default SMS app, default dialer, alarm app, and setup assistant, they may request permissions that are normally used by phone, messaging, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, location, notification, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and device setup apps.
We do not sell personal data. Gammy does not include ads.
Data Gammy Accesses
Gammy may access the following data depending on which features the user or caregiver enables:
- Contacts: names, phone numbers, and contact details used for trusted contact calling and messaging, including contact edits made inside Gammy.
- SMS and MMS: text and media messages used to send, receive, display, and store conversations when Gammy is selected as the default SMS app, plus PIN-validated caregiver/admin setup messages if that managed feature is enabled.
- Phone and call data: phone state, call-log information needed for the default dialer experience, outgoing calls, incoming call display, and in-call controls when Gammy is selected as the default dialer.
- Photos, videos, and camera: photo viewing, camera capture, media messages, QR scanning screens, and related local media features.
- Calendar: calendar event titles, times, and reminders shown in the calendar tool when permission is granted.
- Microphone and audio: web calls, voice input, Beau companion features, voice recorder, saved audio files, radio, alarm, timer, and Bible read-aloud audio where enabled.
- Bible reading data: local bookmarks and last-read position for bundled public-domain Bible text.
- Medication routine data: medication names, doses, schedules, and notes that the user or caregiver enters for the local medication list. Gammy uses this for routine display only; it is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, clinical monitoring, or care-provider medication management.
- Location and Wi-Fi information: navigation features and Android Wi-Fi scan setup flows.
- Notifications: selected notification access if the user grants notification listener access.
- App settings and local app data: admin PIN hash, setup choices, home and managed-device configuration, Android setup/settings state where permission is granted, alarms, reminders, message history, contacts, and feature settings.
- Device or app identifiers: local device/app identifiers used for app setup.
How Data Is Used
Gammy uses data to provide the features selected by the user or caregiver:
- Show a simple home screen and menu.
- Make and receive calls.
- Send, receive, and display SMS/MMS messages.
- Process caregiver/admin setup messages when an enabled managed feature uses them for documented setup updates.
- Show trusted contacts and photos.
- Run alarms, timer, calendar, radio, audio, Bible, camera, navigation, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, medication-list, and setup tools.
- Keep protected setup and managed-device behavior reliable.
Data Sharing And Service Providers
Gammy may share or process data with the following services only as needed for enabled features:
- Mobile carriers and Android phone/SMS services for calls, SMS, and MMS.
- Streaming radio providers when the user plays an internet radio stream.
- Video calling or handoff apps when the user chooses to open or hand off a call to another app.
- Google Play may deliver app asset packs, such as Beau model files, through Play Asset Delivery and its required task-helper libraries. This does not upload personal Gammy data.
We do not sell personal data.
Local Storage
Most Gammy data is stored locally on the device. This can include contacts, messages, settings, alarms, reminders, calendar display state, audio recordings, Bible bookmarks, medication routine data, admin setup data, and local feature data. Local data may be removed by deleting it in the app where supported, resetting the device/app data, or uninstalling Gammy.
Security
Gammy uses Android platform permissions and app-private storage to limit access to local data. App-controlled internet services use HTTPS/TLS-capable connections where supported. Carrier SMS, MMS, and phone-call transport are controlled by mobile carriers and are outside Gammy's TLS control. Users and caregivers should keep the device lock, caregiver/admin PIN, and Google account credentials secure.
Data Retention And Deletion
Gammy keeps local data for as long as needed to provide the enabled features or until the user or caregiver deletes it, resets app data, or uninstalls the app. The local-only v1 launcher release does not create Gammy Family server-side records. Visit Gammy Data Deletion at https://gammystudios.com/data-deletion.html for local deletion steps and deletion help.
If a later release enables server-side services, contact us at admin@gammystudios.com to request deletion of associated server-side records.
If Gammy later adds account creation inside the app, we will provide an in-app account deletion path and a public account deletion URL before launch.
Children
Gammy's current launcher-first release is directed to adults, including digital-detox users, seniors, family members, and caregivers. If a future listing intentionally targets children under 13, the app, policy, and Play Console answers should be reviewed for Google Play Families requirements before submission.
Financial And Health Features
Gammy Launcher is not a medical app and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, dose recommendations, clinical monitoring, medication-adherence monitoring, emergency monitoring, or guaranteed emergency response. Medication information should come from the user's or caregiver's existing care instructions, and users should consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical questions.
Gammy Launcher does not offer a public financial product.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy when Gammy changes. The effective date above will be updated when the policy changes.
