Permissions & Device Privacy Explained.
A complete, transparent guide to what Android permissions QuestPly requests, what data is accessed, and how your child's privacy is protected.
Why Permissions Are Necessary
Without system-level permissions, automatic screen-time gating cannot function—the application remains in standalone educational quiz mode without device governance.
Accessibility Service
We use the Android Accessibility Service to detect which app is currently in the foreground. This allows the system to enforce parental screen time limits by gating restricted apps.
Data Accessed
- Active foreground package name for elapsed time tracking
- Window state change transition events only
Data Never Accessed
- Screen content, text, or images
- Passwords, keystrokes, or personal credentials
- Notifications, SMS messages, or address contacts
- Files, gallery media, or private documents
Usage Stats Access
Reads app usage duration to quantify active learning vs entertainment time. All metrics are computed locally on the device.
System Overlay Permission
Renders gentle time-limit warnings and unlock prompt screens over recreational apps once daily goals are reached.
Push Notifications
Delivers reminders to the child when screen time is winding down or when new quest milestones are ready.
Battery Optimization Exemption
Prevents the Android OS from terminating background timers during sleep states, ensuring accurate limits.
Privacy Architecture
- All screen telemetry is processed locally on the child device
- No usage histories are sold or shared with data brokers
- Zero advertising identifiers (GAID) collected or monetized
- COPPA and GDPR-K compliant data architecture
- Parent PIN required to alter any permission or allowance profile
Designed solely to cultivate healthy screen habits. No monetized user data or profiling.
