Summary

TypeRelief reminds you to rest your hands after sustained typing. It uses Android's Accessibility Service to notice when you type, never what you type. It works fully offline, has no internet permission, and requires no account. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information.

1. Data We Process

TypeRelief does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to us. Everything the app needs — a running total of how many minutes you have spent typing and whether you have accepted the accessibility disclosure — is stored locally on your device.

  • No account or sign-up is required to use the app.
  • Your typing-time total and the record that you accepted the accessibility disclosure are stored locally on your device in the app's private storage.
  • The typing-time total is a single number of minutes. It does not record what you typed, which app you typed in, or when.
  • The stretch suggestions in break reminders are general wellness tips, not medical advice. If you have pain in your hands or wrists, see a qualified healthcare professional.
  • The app has no internet permission, so it cannot send anything off your device.
  • If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include this app's on-device data in that backup, as it does for most apps. The backup is held by Google under your account; we cannot see or access it.
  • The app does not transmit your personal data to our servers — we do not operate a server that receives your data.
  • The app does not include third-party advertising SDKs in this version. If that changes, this policy is updated before the new build ships.
  • The app does not include analytics that identify you personally.
  • You can permanently delete all app data at any time by clearing the app's storage in your device settings or by uninstalling the app.

2. Accessibility Service

TypeRelief uses Android's Accessibility Service API to measure how long you type continuously, so it can remind you to take a break. It has no other features that use the API.

What it accesses: only the fact that text changed in a field, and when. The service is configured to receive text-change events only and does not request access to window content. TypeRelief uses only the time of each event and ignores everything else.

What it keeps: a running total of typing minutes, described above. It never stores or transmits the content you type or the names of the apps you use.

What it shares: nothing. TypeRelief has no internet permission, and no accessibility data is sent to us or to any third party.

You choose to turn the service on in Android's Accessibility settings, after the in-app disclosure, and you can turn it off there at any time.

3. How Your Information Is Used

Data the app stores on your device is used solely to provide the app's features — for example, showing your progress, maintaining streaks, and remembering your preferences. It is never used for advertising profiling, and it is never sold.

4. Advertising

This version of TypeRelief contains no advertising SDKs and shows no ads. We do not build advertising profiles about you. If advertising is ever added, this policy is updated before that build ships.

5. Purchases

Any in-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your payment details.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Because your data stays on your device, there is nothing for us to share.

7. Your Rights Under India's DPDP Act, 2023

As a Data Principal you have the right to access, correct and erase your data, and to raise a grievance. Because TypeRelief keeps everything on your device:

  • Access & correction: all your data is visible and editable inside the app.
  • Erasure: uninstall the app, or clear its storage in your device settings. Erasure is immediate and irreversible.
  • Grievance: email precisiongpt@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.

8. Retention

Your data exists only while the app is installed, and is erased when you uninstall the app or clear its storage. We keep no server-side copy, so there is nothing for us to retain.

9. Children

TypeReliefis not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly process a child's personal data or show children targeted ads.

10. Permissions

  • Accessibility Service — to notice when you are typing, as described in the Accessibility Service section.
  • Notifications — to show the break reminder after sustained typing. Turning notifications off for the app stops the reminders.

11. Changes to This Policy

We post changes at this URL and update the effective date above. Material changes are reflected here before the build that makes them ships.
