Overview

Gammy Launcher turns an Android smartphone into a simpler phone experience with large controls, calling, text messaging, contacts, photos, alarms, calendar, audio tools, simplified setup, and caregiver setup features. Gammy Focus, Gammy Full, and Gammy Managed are separate apps. Gammy Managed is a mixed-audience app for children getting a first phone and for adults or seniors using a caregiver-managed device. It includes kiosk behavior, protected setup, and child-safe defaults. Gammy Focus, Full, and Managed can provide default SMS, dialer, and alarm features when the user chooses those Android roles. Gammy Full and Managed can also act as the user's home screen. The apps may request permissions normally used by phone, messaging, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, location, notification, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and device-setup apps; the Managed build delegates Bluetooth setup to Android and does not request Bluetooth scan or Nearby Devices permission.

Gammy Family is the optional caregiver companion. It uses first-party Gammy services to connect authorized caregivers with a household, provide setup and status tools, and support caregiver accounts. Gammy Family is intended for parents, caregivers, and other authorized family members rather than use by a child as the account holder.

We do not sell personal data. Gammy does not include ads or third-party advertising SDKs.

Data Gammy Accesses

Gammy may access the following data depending on which features the user or caregiver enables:

How Data Is Used

Gammy uses data to provide the features selected by the user or caregiver:

Data Sharing And Service Providers

Gammy may share or process data with the following services only as needed for enabled features:

We do not sell personal data.

Local Storage

Most Gammy data is stored locally on the device. This can include contacts, messages, settings, a caregiver-entered number for display as this phone's own number, 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. Gammy Launcher data remains local except for the enabled network features described above.

Gammy Family keeps server-side records for accounts, households, purchases, and enabled Family services while the account or household is active. A signed-in caregiver can permanently delete a caregiver account from the account panel. Deletion removes the account email, password hash, sessions, account profile, and membership records; it unlinks the account from shared households and anonymizes its account-attributed household activity. Shared household records and purchase records may remain for other authorized caregivers, service continuity, fraud prevention, tax, accounting, dispute, or legal obligations. Subscription cancellation is separate from account deletion.

An authorized caregiver can revoke a linked Gammy Managed phone under Device Tokens in Gammy Family. This invalidates its device credential and stops future authenticated check-ins and polls. The current Archive household action deactivates the household, revokes Family links and device/app registrations, and clears Family restore data. Archive is not a hard delete. Service records may remain, including household and link metadata, device-registration metadata, the last stored device status/check-in, the registration-bound last recorded poll heartbeat, workflow and consent state, and security or household activity history. Each setup packet expires at its stated device-token expiration. Self-serve packets are valid for no more than 72 hours; operator-provisioned packets may use a longer lifetime, with the current operator default capped at 365 days. The data-deletion page provides a verified request path for eligible retained records.

Children

Gammy Managed is intentionally designed for a mixed audience that includes children ages 9-12, teens, adults, and seniors. A parent or caregiver sets up a child's Managed phone. The child-accessible default experience contains no ads or analytics, starts with calls and texts limited to caregiver-managed trusted contacts, keeps location tools off, and keeps uncontrolled streaming radio and the complete Bible library off. Optional location or open-media tools can be enabled only from the PIN-protected caregiver dashboard.

A Gammy Managed phone may be used by a child. A parent or caregiver decides whether to link that phone to a household, and no Gammy Family check-in or poll leaves the phone until they do. The linked transport carries a Gammy-issued device identifier and the functional status described above, and the service records the last check-in time and rate-limited poll heartbeat. This information is never used for advertising, profiling, or sale. An authorized caregiver can revoke the phone's Device Token to stop future authenticated check-ins and polls, and can request deletion of eligible retained service records.

Gammy does not knowingly use a child's personal data for advertising, profiling, referral attribution, or sale. Referral attribution is attached only to the purchaser or caregiver transaction, never to a child's Managed profile. The launcher release does not transmit advertising ID or the persistent device identifiers listed above. A parent or caregiver controls any child-related information entered into Gammy Family and may review or remove it, delete the caregiver account, reset app data, uninstall Gammy, or contact admin@gammystudios.com for privacy help.

Financial And Health Features

Gammy includes a local medication routine management feature and declares that feature in Google Play's Health Apps form. Gammy is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It does not provide medical advice, 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 advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

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.
