How Force handles your information — in plain language.
Force (the "app", "we", or "us") is an Android reminder and alarm utility that keeps your reminders active until you act on them — complete, snooze, or dismiss — with optional full-screen alerts for the things you really can't miss, such as medicine and bills. This Privacy Policy explains what the app does and does not do with information on your device.
Force processes and stores the following information locally on your device only. None of it is transmitted off the device.
The titles, descriptions, notes, categories, dates, times, priorities, colours, repeat rules, and alert settings you enter are saved in the app's private on-device database so your reminders can fire and be managed. This content is created entirely by you and never leaves your device.
Your settings — such as theme, default snooze duration, alert behaviours (sound, vibration, full-screen, persistent and unlock recovery), start of week, and a local premium flag — are stored locally on the device.
Force plays your device's standard alarm/notification sound when a reminder fires. It stores only a reference to the system sound to use; it does not copy, upload, or scan your music library or audio files.
Force does not access your microphone, contacts, call logs, location, photos, camera, or accounts, and it does not read your messages or other apps' notifications.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
To show reminder notifications when they are due. |
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM / USE_EXACT_ALARM |
To trigger reminders at the exact time you set, even in battery-saving (Doze) states. |
USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT |
To display the full-screen alert for Critical reminders (e.g. medicine) over the lock screen. |
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW(Display over other apps) |
To float the reminder popup over whatever app you're using when a reminder is due, so you can act on it without switching apps. The popup shows only your own reminder; it does not read or capture the apps underneath. You grant this once and can revoke it anytime. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE |
To keep a Critical alarm sounding and vibrating reliably until you act on it. |
VIBRATE |
To vibrate for alerts when a reminder fires. |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
To restore your scheduled reminders after the device restarts so none are lost. |
REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS |
To let you optionally exempt Force from aggressive battery limits so alarms remain reliable. |
The app is built without the INTERNET permission, so it is technically incapable of sending your data over the network.
Information in the app is used solely to provide its core function: scheduling and delivering your reminders, keeping them active until you act, showing your dashboard and statistics, and remembering your preferences. We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the features you see in the app.
We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your information to anyone. Because the app has no network access, your reminders and notes never leave your device and are never sent to us or to any third party. No serversNo third partiesNo cloud
Your reminders and settings remain on your device until you delete them. You can:
All processing happens on-device and app data is kept in Android's private per-app storage, which other apps cannot read. Because nothing is uploaded, there is no server-side database that could be breached. You remain in control through Android's permission system at all times.
Force is a general-purpose productivity utility and is not directed to children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the app collects no data and has no online component, it poses no data-collection risk to users of any age.
Force does not integrate advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or social login providers. It does not embed any third-party trackers and relies on no external services.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under privacy laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. Since Force does not collect or hold any of your personal data on our side, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete on your behalf — full control rests with you on your device.
We may update this Privacy Policy if the app's features change. When we do, we will revise the "Effective" date above and publish the updated policy at this address. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
