Destination is a local device-control app for app blocking, schedules, usage limits, emergency unlocks, and optional network controls. The app is designed to enforce rules on your device, not to build profiles or sell data.
No Data leaves your device, Ever. Destination only collects and stores the settings you create in the app. This can include selected apps, app groups, schedules, usage limits, emergency unlock settings, domain rules, managed network settings, diagnostics status, and setup status.
To enforce those settings, Destination may access local device information such as installed app names, app package names, app usage time, app launches, music playback status for apps you mark as music apps, locally processed domain requests when optional network filtering is enabled, device management status, and local device location when you use Home Focus features.
If you enable Home Focus, Destination may use foreground or background location on the device to save your chosen Home area, check whether the device is inside or outside that saved area, and restore geofence-based enforcement after device events. That location data is used locally for the feature you turn on and is not sent to us.
During setup, Destination may check whether device accounts are present because Android may require account removal before Device Owner setup. This is used only to guide setup and is not sent to us.
Destination does not collect contacts, photos, messages, typed text, microphone audio, camera content, or screen contents for us. Destination does not create a cloud account.
Destination uses information only to provide the app's core features:
Most data stays on your device. Diagnostics backup/export is created only when you choose to export it.
Destination does not sell personal information or share app activity data with advertisers or data brokers.
Destination currently uses an Accessibility Service for device-control enforcement features that depend on detecting app and window changes on the device, including anti-addiction style foreground enforcement.
Destination's accessibility configuration is limited to window-state change events and does not retrieve window content. It is not used to collect typed text, passwords, messages, screenshots, or screen contents.
Destination does not use Accessibility Service access for advertising, analytics, profiling, or unrelated data collection.
Destination uses Device Administrator and Device Owner access to enforce the rules you enable. This can include app blocking, uninstall protection for selected apps, system restriction controls, network controls, restart recovery, and device-management checks.
Device Owner mode gives Destination strong control over the device. That control is the purpose of the app and is used for local enforcement of your selected rules.
Destination does not use Device Owner access to remotely control your device for us.
Destination uses ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and, on supported Android versions, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION only for the optional Home Focus feature.
These permissions are used to save a Home location, evaluate whether the device is at that saved location, and keep that rule working through geofence and location-integrity checks. Destination does not sell or upload your location history to a developer server.
Destination can use Notification Listener access only for the optional music-app feature so playback sessions can be measured more accurately than foreground usage alone.
Destination does not use Notification Listener access to harvest message content, build advertising profiles, or monitor unrelated notifications for us.
Destination may also use special Android permissions or setup access such as Usage Access, Exact Alarm, Post Notifications, Internet, Access Network State, Access Wi-Fi State, WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, and optional Shizuku access when those are needed for the features you enable.
These are used for local rule enforcement, timing, diagnostics, notifications, Home Focus support, and setup automation. They are not used for ads, third-party tracking, or selling personal information.
Destination uses Google Play Billing for premium purchases and entitlement checks. It uses Google Play Integrity for app and device integrity checks related to premium access.
Google may process data according to Google's own privacy policy.
Destination can optionally work with Shizuku for setup automation when you choose that setup path. Shizuku is a separate app/service.
Destination may use Google Play services for app fonts where available.
Destination does not include ads, analytics SDKs, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or third-party tracking SDKs in the current codebase.
When optional network filtering is enabled, allowed domain requests may be sent to DNS providers so websites and apps can function normally.
Destination stores app data locally on your device using Android-protected app storage.
Premium status and app-lock data are protected using Android security features where available. Android app sandboxing limits other apps from directly reading Destination's private storage.
Your local Destination data stays on the device until you change settings, reset app data, import a replacement diagnostics backup, or uninstall the app.
A diagnostics backup exists only if you choose to export it, and you control where that exported text goes.
No method of storage or transmission is perfect, but Destination avoids unnecessary data collection and does not upload your app rules, usage history, diagnostics backup, screen contents, messages, contacts, photos, or files to a developer server.
Destination is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through Destination, contact us so we can review the issue.
