Privacy Policy
The short version. Voltz has no accounts and never asks for your name, email or phone number. It cannot read what is on your screen. What it does collect is a random ID for your installation, your app settings, and standard advertising data from Google and Meta. You can delete all of it by uninstalling the app.
1. Who we are
Voltz ("the app", "we", "us") is published by Honey World Technology. If you have a question about this policy or about your data, write to honeyworldtechnology@gmail.com and we will reply.
2. What Voltz collects
An installation ID
The first time you open Voltz it generates a random identifier and stores it on your device. This ID is sent to our servers so we can remember your settings and which skins you have unlocked. It is not your advertising ID, not your device serial number, and not linked to you personally. Uninstalling the app destroys it, and reinstalling produces a new, unrelated one.
Your settings and unlocks
We store, against that ID: the skin you have applied, the skins you have unlocked, whether you have Voltz Plus, and your preferences (status bar style, charge effect, shuffle daily, night skin, and whether the status bar service is switched on).
Battery information
The app reads your battery level and whether the device is charging. That is the whole point of the app — the character on your status bar reacts to it. This reading stays on your device and is not sent to us.
3. The accessibility service
To draw a skin over the system battery icon, Android requires an accessibility service. This is the only way any app is permitted to draw in the status bar, and Android only lets you switch it on, from Settings.
Voltz does not read your screen. The service does exactly one thing: it measures where the battery icon sits in your status bar, so the skin can be positioned on top of it. It does not read text you type, passwords, messages, page contents, or anything you do in other apps. It records nothing and transmits nothing.
You can withdraw this permission at any time in Settings › Accessibility › Emoji Battery Status Bar. The app keeps working; it simply stops drawing on the status bar.
4. Advertising
Voltz is free and paid for by advertising. We use Google AdMob to serve ads, and Meta app events to measure how the app is performing. These services may collect a device advertising identifier and technical information such as device model, operating system version, and coarse region, in order to select and measure ads.
- Google's handling of that data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Meta's handling of that data: facebook.com/about/privacy
You can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in Settings › Privacy › Ads on your device. Buying Voltz Plus removes ads from the app.
5. What we never collect
- No name, email address, phone number or date of birth.
- No contacts, photos, files, messages, or call history.
- No precise location.
- No screen contents, keystrokes, or activity in other apps.
- No microphone or camera access. The app does not request these permissions.
6. Where your data goes
| Who | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Voltz servers | Installation ID, settings, unlocked skins | To remember your setup between launches |
| Google AdMob | Advertising ID and ad technical data | To show and measure ads |
| Meta | App events (for example, that a skin was applied) and advertising ID where permitted | To measure app performance |
| Google Firebase | Nothing about you. The app only reads a configuration file we publish | To change app settings without an update |
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the services listed above.
7. Keeping and deleting your data
Settings and unlocks are kept while your installation exists so the app works as you left it. To delete everything:
- Uninstall Voltz. The installation ID is destroyed with the app, and the record it pointed at can no longer be reached by anyone, including us.
- Or write to us at honeyworldtechnology@gmail.com and we will delete the record. Because we hold no personal details, please send the request from the device or include your installation ID, which is shown in the app's Settings screen.
8. Children
Voltz is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will remove it.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the data we hold, or to object to its processing. Because we hold no personal identifiers, the practical route for all of these is the deletion process in section 7. Write to us and we will help.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Continuing to use Voltz after a change means you accept the updated policy.
