Privacy Policy

Application: Touchless Control Package Name: com.ideepro.touchlesscontrol Last Updated: September 20, 2026 Effective Date: September 20, 2026

1. Overview & Privacy Philosophy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Touchless Control mobile application for Android (Package ID: com.ideepro.touchlesscontrol), developed by IdeePro / Kuldeep ("we", "us", or "our").

Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. We built Touchless Control under the fundamental engineering principle of 100% Local, On-Device Intelligence. We do not operate remote servers to collect, harvest, store, or sell your personal information or biometric data.

2. Prominent Disclosure: Android Accessibility Service API

Google Play Policy Notice: Accessibility API Usage

In strict compliance with the Google Play Developer Program Policy on the Accessibility API, this section provides an explicit, prominent disclosure of how and why Touchless Control utilizes Android Accessibility Services.

Why does Touchless Control require the Accessibility Service?

Touchless Control uses the AccessibilityService API (declared as com.ideepro.touchlesscontrol.service.TouchlessAccessibilityService with the permission android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE) for the sole purpose of enabling hands-free device interaction.

Specifically, the service is used to:

  • Dispatch Touch Gestures: Perform automated swipe gestures (Swipe Up for video reels, Swipe Down, Swipe Left, Swipe Right) and tap clicks on your device's screen when corresponding AI hand gestures are detected.
  • Execute System Navigation: Perform global navigation commands (such as Android Back button, Home button, and Recent Apps screen) at the user's explicit gesture request.

What does Touchless Control NOT do with the Accessibility API?

  • Zero Keylogging: We do NOT monitor, record, store, or transmit your typed inputs, passwords, credit card numbers, or search queries.
  • Zero Content Reading: We do NOT read, collect, inspect, or exfiltrate on-screen private text, personal conversations, messages, or emails.
  • No Setting Interference: The service does NOT modify user settings without permission, prevent users from disabling any app, or bypass Android system security.

User Control: Accessibility Service activation requires explicit user consent in your device's System Settings. You can enable, disable, or revoke this permission at any time via Android Settings > Accessibility > Touchless Control Dispatcher.

3. Camera Permission & On-Device AI Vision

Google Play Policy Notice: Camera & Biometrics Disclosure

Touchless Control requests android.permission.CAMERA exclusively for real-time, local computer vision hand tracking. No video or pictures are ever captured, saved, stored, or transmitted to any server.

How is Camera data processed?

The front-facing camera feed is analyzed in real time on your device using Google MediaPipe Vision Tasks (Hand Landmarker). The camera feed is processed as ephemeral image frames directly in device memory (RAM) to calculate 21 numerical hand landmark coordinates (x, y, z positions).

  • Ephemeral Memory Only: Each image frame buffer is analyzed and immediately purged from memory.
  • Zero Video / Photo Recording: The application contains no recording, screenshotting, or video-saving functionality.
  • Zero Cloud Uploads: Camera frames are never sent over the internet, uploaded to remote cloud servers, or shared with any third party.
  • No Facial Recognition: The application does not recognize faces, facial geometry, or personal biometric identities.

4. Overlay & Foreground Services

System Alert Window (Display Over Other Apps)

Touchless Control requests android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW to show an optional floating HUD indicator bubble. This visual HUD alerts you that hand tracking is actively running and provides instant feedback when a gesture is recognized while using third-party apps (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, or Chrome).

Foreground Service Notification

To ensure continuous tracking while multitasking without unexpected termination by Android's memory manager, the app runs a Foreground Service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA). While active, Android displays a persistent notification clearly indicating that Touchless Control is running. You can stop the service at any time with a single tap from the notification.

5. Third-Party Services & Advertising

Touchless Control is a free-to-use application supported by non-intrusive advertisements served through Google AdMob.

Google AdMob (provided by Google LLC) may collect and process certain non-personally identifiable diagnostic information and mobile advertising identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID AD_ID) in accordance with Google's Advertising Policies.

Biometric Isolation: AdMob SDK has zero access to camera feeds, hand tracking data, or accessibility service actions. Hand tracking is completely isolated from the ad subsystem.

For more details on how Google handles advertising data, please review:
Google Privacy & Terms Policy →

Opting Out of Personalized Ads: You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized advertisements anytime by visiting Android Settings > Google > Ads > Delete advertising ID.
