Effective Date: November 15, 2026  |  Package ID: app.mutedot.wear  |  Official Home

1. Zero Data Collection Guarantee

MuteDot: Watch Mic Blocker ("MuteDot") does not collect, record, transmit, store externally, or share any personal data, audio data, usage analytics, crash logs, or device identifiers.

2. Air-Gapped Permission Architecture

• Zero Network Access: android.permission.INTERNET and android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE are stripped from the application manifest. MuteDot cannot establish network connections or transmit any information off your smartwatch.
• Zero Audio Recording: android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO is stripped from the application manifest. MuteDot only controls the system hardware mute switch via android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS.

3. Accessibility Service Disclosure

If you enable the optional Edge Status Dot in Wear OS Accessibility Settings:

• MuteDot uses Android's AccessibilityService (TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY) solely to display a tiny, non-interactive red or green microphone status indicator dot on the edge of your watch screen across watch faces.
• MuteDot declares android:canRetrieveWindowContent="false", android:canPerformGestures="false", and subscribes to zero accessibility event types.
• MuteDot never reads screen text, notifications, passwords, UI hierarchies, or user actions.

4. Local On-Watch Preferences Only

Settings (such as mute lock state, dot position, size, opacity, and local blocked-unmute counter) are stored exclusively on your watch in private storage with cloud backup and device transfer disabled (allowBackup="false"), and are permanently deleted upon uninstallation.
