Summary in plain English: Retakr does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything you configure inside the app — blocked apps, blocked URLs, PINs, subscription tier — stays exclusively on your device. We have no servers storing your information and we do not track you.

1 Overview & Data Controller
This Privacy Policy describes how JozaForge ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the Retakr – Digital Life Control mobile application (the "App"), available on the Google Play Store. The App is designed to help users manage their digital habits by blocking apps, websites, and harmful online content on Android devices.
Because Retakr does not collect, transmit, or process any personal data through our systems, JozaForge does not act as a data controller in the traditional legal sense. All data generated by your use of the App remains exclusively on your device and is never accessible to us. The formal data controller obligations under GDPR and similar laws are not triggered by our processing because we perform no such processing.
By installing and using Retakr, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2 Data We Do Not Collect
Retakr is built with a privacy-first, offline-first architecture. We explicitly do not collect any of the following:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or any account credentials
- Device identifiers (IMEI, advertising ID, hardware serial numbers)
- Location data (GPS coordinates, approximate location, IP-based location)
- Browsing history or the specific URLs you visit
- The list of apps installed on your device
- Crash reports or diagnostic telemetry
- Analytics about how you use the App (feature usage, session duration, etc.)
- Payment card information or financial data
- Biometric data
- Audio, camera, contacts, or calendar data
No server connection required: Retakr functions entirely offline after installation. It does not connect to our servers during normal use. There is no user account, no login, and no cloud synchronization.
3 Information Stored on Your Device
Retakr stores configuration data locally on your device using a local SQLite database (via the Drift library) and Android's SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device through our systems.
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage | Transmitted? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blocking Active State | Whether content blocking is enabled | Local DB | Never |
| Blocked App List | Package names & restriction rules for apps you choose to block | Local DB | Never |
| Blocked URL List | Website addresses you choose to block | Local DB | Never |
| Keyword Protection Topics | Which content categories (adult, gambling, etc.) are active | Local DB | Never |
| Custom Topics & Keywords | User-defined keyword groups for web filtering (Pro) | Local DB | Never |
| Allowed Browsers List | Which browser apps are permitted | Local DB | Never |
| Protection PIN | 8-digit PIN to lock configuration changes (optional, all plans) | Local DB | Never |
| Subscription Tier | Free / Standard / Pro status for feature gating | Local DB | Never |
| Detected Browsers | List of browser apps detected on device | SharedPrefs | Never |
How to delete your data
Because all data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by:
- Using Android's Settings → Apps → Retakr → Clear Data option, which removes all local data and resets the app to its default state.
- Uninstalling the App, which permanently removes all app data from your device.
4 Android Permissions Explained
Retakr requests specific Android permissions to deliver its core functionality. Each permission is used only for its stated purpose and no data gathered through these permissions is transmitted outside your device.
Important: None of the data accessed through these permissions is collected, stored on our servers, or shared with third parties. All processing occurs entirely on your device.
5 In-App Purchases & Google Play
Retakr offers optional paid plans (Standard and Pro) through Google Play Billing as one-time purchases. The purchase transaction is handled entirely by Google.
- Payment processing: All payment information (credit/debit cards, Google Pay, etc.) is handled by Google. JozaForge never receives, stores, or processes your payment details.
- Purchase verification: Retakr verifies your purchase locally by checking the product ID returned by Google Play. No purchase data is sent to JozaForge servers.
- Plan data: The plan tier (Free / Standard / Pro) is stored locally on your device only.
- Google's Privacy Policy: When you make a purchase, Google's privacy practices apply. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Purchase Plans
| Plan | Features | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Block up to 2 apps and 2 URLs · 1 built-in topic · Partial PIN protection · Uninstall Protection | Free forever |
| Standard | Unlimited app & URL blocking · All 4 built-in topics · Same PIN scope as Free · Uninstall Protection | One-time purchase via Google Play |
| Pro | All Standard features · All 4 built-in topics + custom topics · Full PIN protection · Strict Mode · Configurable PIN reset cooldown · Uninstall Protection | One-time purchase via Google Play |
6 Third-Party Services
Retakr integrates with the following third-party services in a limited capacity:
| Service | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Billing | In-app purchase transactions | Purchase receipt (handled by Google) |
| Android UsageStats API | Query daily app usage for time-limit enforcement | No external sharing |
| Android Accessibility API | Read browser URL bar for web filtering | No external sharing |
We do not use advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs (Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.), crash reporting services (Crashlytics, Sentry, etc.), or any other data-collection third-party libraries.
7 Children's Privacy
Retakr is a parental-control and self-discipline tool suitable for users of all ages, including use by parents to protect minors. However, the App itself does not knowingly collect any personal information from users of any age.
In the context of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): because we collect no personal information from any user — child or adult — Retakr exceeds COPPA's requirements by design. COPPA obligations are triggered by the collection of personal data from children under 13; since we collect nothing from anyone, those obligations are satisfied at the architectural level.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to us through some unintended channel, please contact us at the address in Section 13 and we will investigate and address the concern promptly.
8 Data Security
Because Retakr stores all data exclusively on your device and does not transmit it to external servers, the primary security layer is Android's own application sandbox. Each Android app runs in an isolated environment, and Retakr's local database is accessible only by the App itself unless the device is rooted.
We take additional steps to protect sensitive configuration data:
- The Protection PIN is stored locally and never transmitted, ensuring no remote attacker can intercept it.
- We use Android's secure storage mechanisms (SQLite within the private app data directory) for all local data.
- The Admin Protection feature (Pro) reduces the ability of third parties to tamper with the App's settings by granting Device Administrator privileges.
The Protection PIN is stored in the local database using a one-way hash. The original PIN value is never stored in recoverable form. On standard (non-rooted) Android devices, the App's private data directory is inaccessible to other apps. On rooted devices, the sandbox isolation provided by Android may be bypassed by other apps or by the user, which could expose the local database. JozaForge cannot prevent this on rooted devices and recommends against using Admin Protection or PIN Protection on rooted devices where the security guarantees cannot be enforced.
Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure. We recommend keeping your Android device updated and using Android's built-in screen lock for additional protection.
9 Your Rights Under GDPR (EU / EEA / UK)
If you are located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR applies to you. Because Retakr does not collect or process personal data through our systems, most GDPR rights are satisfied by default.
Right of Access
All data is on your device. You can view it directly within the App at any time.
Right to Rectification
You can modify any configuration data directly in the App.
Right to Erasure
Clear App data or uninstall to delete all local data permanently.
Right to Restriction
You control all processing via in-app settings; disable any feature at any time.
Right to Portability
GDPR Art. 20 portability rights apply to personal data processed by the controller. Since JozaForge processes no personal data, this right does not apply to JozaForge. For Google Play purchase data, exercise this right directly with Google.
Right to Object
You can revoke any Android permission through device Settings at any time.
For Google Play purchase data, please exercise your rights directly with Google via their data and privacy dashboard.
If you have questions about GDPR compliance, contact us at supportjozaforge@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
10 Your Rights Under CCPA (California)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you specific rights. Because Retakr does not sell personal information and does not collect personal information through our systems, many CCPA obligations do not apply. Specifically:
- We do not sell your personal information to any third party.
- We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA.
To the extent any California rights apply to data held by Google related to your Google Play purchases, please exercise those rights through Google's privacy tools.
11 International Users
Retakr is available globally through the Google Play Store. Because we do not collect or transmit personal data, data transfer restrictions under frameworks such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, or similar mechanisms do not apply to our processing.
Users in jurisdictions with specific privacy laws (Brazil's LGPD, Canada's PIPEDA, Australia's Privacy Act, India's DPDP Act, etc.) should note that Retakr's no-data-collection architecture means those laws impose minimal obligations on us. Your local rights regarding data held by Google (for purchase purposes) can be exercised with Google directly.
12 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's functionality, legal requirements, or best practices. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
- Publish a notice on the Google Play Store listing where appropriate.
- If required by applicable law, notify you more prominently (e.g., via an in-app message).
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
