Privacy policy

Petek Launcher (Honeycomb Launcher / مشغّل خلية النحل) is an Android home-screen app provided by MYIBU. Contact: support@myibu.com.

Information on your device

The app stores your installed-app layout, group names, favorites, hidden apps, search launch history and preferences locally. Selected wallpaper photos are copied to the app’s private storage. No account is required. There are no ads. Layout and notification contents are not sent to MYIBU. Version 0.41 did not use an Internet permission; version 0.42 adds Google Play Billing as described below.

Free trial and Google Play purchases (version 0.42 onwards)

The download is free and all features can be tried for 7 days from the first launch. Afterwards, continuing requires a one-time permanent-access purchase through Google Play. There is no subscription or automatic charge. The price and currency are shown by Google Play before you confirm payment. Purchases can be restored using the same Google Play account.

Trial timing and a signed purchase receipt are stored privately on your device and are not included in exported backups. Google Play Billing uses an Internet connection to process and restore purchases, prevent fraud and report technical diagnostics. Google processes purchase and technical information under its privacy policy. MYIBU does not receive your card details. Purchase records held by Google are governed by Google’s retention rules; deleting the app does not delete those records.

Google Play Billing also sends Google billing-operation interactions and diagnostics, such as the app version, device/build details, operation results and a temporary BillingClient session identifier, to assess and improve the payment service. These records do not contain your app layout, installed-app list, notification messages, wallpaper or launcher search history. Purchase history is used to provide and restore permanent access and prevent fraud. We do not offer an opt-out for the Billing SDK technical records. Google controls their retention; MYIBU cannot directly erase records held by Google. Local trial, purchase and complimentary access-code records are removed when app data is cleared and are excluded from exported backups.

Optional notification access

With your permission, Android gives the notification listener access to active notifications. Petek uses package and notification grouping information to show dots and counts. Notification message text is not saved or transmitted. Counts are kept in memory. You can revoke access in Android notification access settings. The launcher remains usable without it.

Photos and backups

You choose individual photos and backup files using Android’s file picker. A backup that you explicitly export contains layout, app identifiers, group names, favorites, settings and any selected custom wallpaper image. It is saved to the destination you choose, which may be a cloud storage provider. That provider’s privacy policy applies. Share backups only with people you intend to receive them.

Retention and deletion

Preferences remain until changed, app storage is cleared or the app is uninstalled. Exported backups remain where you saved them and must be deleted separately. Removing a tile from the launcher does not uninstall that app.

Support and this website

If you email support, we receive your address and what you choose to send, and use it to answer your request. Do not include passwords or sensitive notification content. This website has no analytics scripts or contact form. Hosting and email providers process technical information needed to deliver the site and support messages.
