Effective Date: June 26, 2025
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Revida ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and shares information, including the use of specific Android APIs, in connection with your use of my mobile applications (the "Apps"). Your privacy is incredibly important to me.
2. Information I Collect and How It's Used
My Apps are designed to collect minimal data. Below is an explanation of the data the SafeDrive Companion app accesses, solely to provide its core functionality:
2.1. Use of Accessibility Service
SafeDrive Companion utilizes the Android AccessibilityService API to enable its core features, which are essential for safe operation on the road, particularly in vehicles without Android Auto support. This service is used exclusively to:
- Enable the floating overlay interface and hands-free phone controls (such as message reading and touch simulation) during driving.
- Interact with elements of other applications for controlling music playback, managing messages, and handling calls.
- Allow automatic return to the navigation screen after interactions with other apps.
- Improve overall comfort and usability for drivers by automating certain tasks.
Important: The AccessibilityService API is used solely for on-device functionality. The app does not change system settings without your explicit consent, does not transmit any data to the cloud, and does not share any user data collected via this service with third parties. All processing occurs locally on your device.
2.2. Other Permissions and Data Access
- Contacts: Access to your contact list is required to enable speed dialing and favorite contact management directly from the app's interface. Your contact list is processed locally on your device and is not sent to or stored on any external servers.
- Notifications: Access to notifications is necessary to read incoming messages aloud (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp) and to control music players. The content of notifications is processed in real-time and is not saved.
- Phone and Bluetooth State: The app monitors Bluetooth connection and charging status to automatically launch and close its service, which is a key automation feature.
I do not collect any other personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or geographic location beyond what is explicitly stated above.
3. How I Use Information
Any data the Apps access is used exclusively to provide in-app services and improve your user experience. This data is not shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing purposes.
4. Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect the information the Apps access. Since data is processed primarily locally on your device, the risk of a data breach is minimized.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page. You are advised to review this Policy periodically for any changes.
