Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Neon Reactor ("we", "us", "our") is a home screen app for Android, made by NicHallSoftware (Nicholas Hall, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom). This policy explains what the app uses, where it's kept, and your rights under UK GDPR. Contact: nichallsoftware@gmail.com.

In short: Neon Reactor has no account, no adverts and no analytics. Everything it shows you is read and kept on your phone. The only thing that leaves your phone is the record of a Pro purchase, which goes through Google Play and RevenueCat (section 3).

1. What the app uses, and why

• Your installed apps — to list and open them, put them on your wheel and in All Apps, and use icon packs you've installed.
• Your notifications (only if you allow it) — to show them in the pull-down panel and put a dot on apps with something new. They're read while they're on your phone and are never stored or sent anywhere.
• Your calendar (only if you allow it) — to show your next event in the reactor core, a leave reminder for events with an address, and, if you choose, focus that follows your calendar. Events are read on the phone and never copied or sent anywhere.
• Which app is open (only if you turn on the Focus guard accessibility service) — to bring you back to your home screen from apps you've locked during focus, or that have used their daily time limit, and to count that time. The service only sees the name of the app that comes to the front. It can't read your screen or what you type. The minutes it counts stay on your phone and reset each day.
• Widgets — if you pick a to-do app's widget, that app supplies what it shows. Neon Reactor only displays it.
• Your settings — your wheel, theme, name for the greeting, focus schedule, app limits and hidden apps are saved in the app's own storage on your phone.

Neon Reactor does not collect your location, contacts, photos, messages, browsing or advertising identifiers, and contains no advertising or analytics code.

2. Where it's kept

On your phone, in the app's private storage. We have no server and can't see any of it. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Android's settings, deletes it all.

3. Buying Pro

Pro is a one-off purchase made through Google Play. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or bank details. To check that a purchase is genuine and unlock Pro on your phones, the app uses RevenueCat, which receives the purchase record from Google Play, a random identifier created by the app (not your name or email), and basic technical details such as the app version, your country and your device's operating system. This data is processed so we can provide the purchase you made (UK GDPR, performance of a contract). Google's privacy policy covers the payment itself.

4. Sharing

We don't sell or share your data. The only services involved are Google Play and RevenueCat, and only for purchases, as described above.

5. Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Because the app keeps your data on your phone, uninstalling it removes everything there. For purchase records, email us with your Google Play order number (it starts GPA.) and we'll help. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

6. Children

Neon Reactor isn't aimed at children and doesn't knowingly collect data from anyone.

7. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
