Lonchi
Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-06-10
Lonchi runs almost entirely on your device. The only outbound network request the app makes is to a public weather API, described in the Network section below. No personal data is collected by the app, sold, or shared with advertisers. The one exception is the optional closed-beta signup on our website, described under Beta signups below.
Permissions this app uses
- Query installed apps (
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) — read only, used to render the app drawer. - Usage stats (
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS) — read only, used to sort recently-used apps in the drawer. Aggregate counts only. - Request delete packages (
REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES) — used when you uninstall an app from a drawer long-press. Triggers Android's standard uninstall prompt; Lonchi cannot uninstall apps silently. - Set wallpaper (
SET_WALLPAPER) — used only when you explicitly change the wallpaper from inside Lonchi. - Read calendar (
READ_CALENDAR) — used to display upcoming events on the homescreen. Read-only; nothing transmitted off the device. - Coarse location (
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) — optional. Used only by the weather widget; see Network below. - Accessibility service (
BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE) — optional. Invoked only when you trigger the lock-screen or notification-shade gestures. No screen content is read, logged, or transmitted. - Internet (
INTERNET) — used only for the weather request.
Network
Lonchi makes one type of outbound request: the optional weather widget fetches a forecast from https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast. When the widget is enabled, your approximate (city-level) location coordinates are included in that request so the API can return local weather. The open-meteo service is operated by a third party; their privacy terms apply to that request.
If you disable the weather widget, Lonchi makes no network requests at all.
Beta signups
On the Lonchi website you can submit your email address to request access to the Google Play closed beta. We store that email — with our database provider, Neon — solely to send you a one-time testing invite and to add you as a tester in Google Play Console, and we process it on the basis of your consent. We do not use it for marketing, do not share it with advertisers, and delete it once the closed beta ends. To have your email removed at any time, email admin@festivlabs.com. This applies only to the website form; the app itself never collects your email.
Third parties
- open-meteo.com — weather API. Receives approximate location when the weather widget is enabled. See https://open-meteo.com/en/terms.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDKs.
Children
Lonchi is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone of any age.
Changes
Material changes to this policy will be reflected by updating the Last updated date above and by a release-notes entry.
