FlaGoogle asks every app to have a Privacy Policy to be accepted in the Play Store. So, xScreenSaver had to write a privacy policy.
Here you go:
just to clarify, I just shared the link, I am not the author.

I very rarely read Privacy Policies
And when I do so I very rarely enjoy doing it.
So this was a nice change for once :-)
Eph@fla you know what, I didn't know this app existed before now but suddenly I think my phone needs a screen saver. Nicely done. ๐
Mister Moo ๐ฎ@fla Would change bullet 5 to "Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will honor emailed requests to delete all of the user data we haven't collected."

Duncan Babbage@fla super on point. Might get you permanently banned from the Play Store. (Businesses donโt like to be disparaged.) But clever.

@@fla FWIW, having a privacy policy is probably an EU legal requirement, part of GDPR. I have one written for my code that runs on hardware with neither networking nor storage. But, yeah, this instance was a good opportunity to have fun. Whether that's considered easy to understand and clearly written is left as an exercise to the reader (and to some privacy commissioner and their non-humorous non-American lawyers somewhere in Europe).
KorakoraNya@fla.... Did I just get rick-rolled in 2024???๐ฉ

ืคึผึฐืจึดื@fla w.r.t. the line:
Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never tell you to put glue on pizza, eat rocks, or smoke while pregnant.
I think you might want to reconsider.
Screenshots of google saying these things could be quite funny and a good screensaver.

Unlike Google, I enjoyed reading this Privacy Policy too much. Unlike Google, now I'm dancing to Mr. Astley.
