Overview |
Orion (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a high-performance, minimalist AMOLED home screen launcher and productivity hub developed by GX Devs. This Privacy Policy details the permissions requested by the application, how local features operate, and clarifies our strict commitment to data privacy.
We believe your home screen is your personal space. Orion is architected as an offline-first launcher: your layout configurations, hidden apps, custom categories, gesture assignments, and app security settings remain exclusively on your device.

Key App Permissions |
As a comprehensive Android launcher replacement, Orion requires specific system permissions to function. Below is an exhaustive breakdown of why each permission is utilized:
|
1
|
Query Installed Applications (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) Fundamental core launcher permission required to discover, categorize, and display all installed apps inside the App Drawer, home screen dock, and universal search index. |
|
2
|
Notification Badges (BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE) Allows Orion to display real-time unread notification badge counts on app icons and power the optional pull-down notification overlay shade. Notification data is never logged or transmitted. |
|
3
|
Biometrics & App Lock (USE_BIOMETRIC) Powers the App Lock feature, allowing users to secure private apps with fingerprint or face authentication before launch. |
|
4
|
Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) Used strictly to determine local weather conditions for the built-in home screen clock and weather widget. Location coordinates are not tracked or retained. |
|
5
|
Contacts & Phone (READ_CONTACTS & CALL_PHONE) Enables searching your contacts directly within Universal Search and initiating direct calls from custom launcher speed-dial shortcuts. |
|
6
|
Storage & File Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE & Media Permissions) Required for the Universal File Search feature, picking custom wallpapers/icon packs, and saving or restoring local .orion backup files. |
|
7
|
System Utilities (SET_WALLPAPER, BIND_APPWIDGET, EXPAND_STATUS_BAR) Allows setting home screen wallpapers, hosting Android system widgets on desktop pages, and triggering quick swipe gestures to open the notification drawer. |
|
8
|
Startup & Management (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES) Ensures Orion launches immediately upon device startup as default home screen, and enables app uninstall triggers from long-press context menus. |

|
Diagnostics & Stability |
To ensure maximum launcher stability and 90Hz+ smooth animation performance across diverse Android devices, Orion may collect non-identifiable technical diagnostic data (such as OS version, device model, and stack traces) via standard Google Firebase Crashlytics.
These reports contain zero personally identifiable information, no file paths, and no search inputs.
|
Y
|
Children’s Privacy |
Orion does not knowingly target, track, or collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. All launcher operations run entirely locally on the user’s device.

Changes to This Policy |
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features, Android API adjustments, or system changes. We recommend reviewing this document from time to time.
