1. Introduction

Fix Broken Back Button (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is an Android utility application developed to help users perform essential system navigation actions such as Back, Home, Recents, Notifications, Quick Settings, Lock Screen, and Screenshot using a customizable floating button.

We are committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring full transparency about how data is handled. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we safeguard it.

This data is securely handled through Firebase Authentication and is not stored manually by us.

We collect limited, non-sensitive data necessary for app functionality:

  • Button position, size, color, and settings
  • Gesture configurations (single tap, double tap, long press)
  • Feature usage (e.g., Smart Visibility, edge gestures)

All transactions are handled securely by Google Play Billing.

4. Accessibility Service Usage (CRITICAL DISCLOSURE)

Fix Broken Back Button uses Android’s Accessibility Service to enable system-level actions triggered by the user.

What the service does:

  • Executes user-selected actions such as Back, Home, Recents
  • Detects foreground app (for Smart Visibility feature)

  • ❌ Does NOT read screen content
  • ❌ Does NOT capture text input or keystrokes

  • ❌ Does NOT collect sensitive data
  • ❌ Does NOT store or transmit user interactions

The accessibility service is strictly used for user-initiated actions only and complies with Google Play Accessibility policies.

5. Overlay Permission (Draw Over Other Apps)

The app requires overlay permission to:

  • Display a floating button above other apps
  • Enable quick navigation from anywhere on the device

Important:

  • We do NOT use this permission to track or monitor user behavior
  • No data is collected via overlays

6. Data Storage

6.1 Local Storage

  • All settings are stored locally using Android SharedPreferences
  • Includes UI preferences, gesture actions, and feature toggles
