Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 7, 2026

Welcome to Recover It.

We respect your privacy. This app primarily operates on your device. Features such as notification recovery, status saving, and sticker management work locally on your device.

Certain services such as analytics, advertising, and subscriptions may involve limited data processing by trusted third-party providers.

1. How Recover It Works

Recover It allows users to:

  • Recover previously received notifications
  • Save statuses locally on the device
  • Manage and export stickers

The app uses Notification Access permission only for apps selected by the user.

  • Only user-selected apps are monitored
  • The app does NOT monitor all apps automatically

2. What Data is Accessed

Depending on enabled features, the app may access:

  • Notification text
  • Sender name
  • Notification timestamps
  • Status media files stored on the device
  • Sticker files selected by the user

This data is accessed only to provide app functionality requested by the user.

3. Local Storage & Status Saving

  • Notification data is stored locally on your device
  • Status files saved by the user remain on the device
  • Sticker files are stored locally
  • No personal messages or private media are uploaded by the app

On newer Android versions, the app uses Android scoped storage and media access permissions.

On older Android versions, read/write storage permissions may be required to save or access media files locally.

4. Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand app usage and improve app performance.

  • App usage statistics
  • Crash reports
  • Performance diagnostics
  • Device and technical information

Analytics data does NOT include your personal messages, notification content, or saved media files.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), analytics processing complies with GDPR requirements.

5. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

The app may offer premium features through subscriptions or one-time purchases.

  • Payments are securely processed via Google Play Billing
  • We do NOT collect or store your payment details
  • Google may process purchase-related information under its own policies

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app.

  • AdMob may collect advertising identifiers and device information
  • Ads may be personalized based on user interests
  • Google may use cookies and similar technologies

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) may be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.

Users can manage ad personalization through device settings.

7. Permissions Used

Storage & Media Permissions

8. Third-Party Services

The app may use the following third-party services:

These services may collect and process limited information according to their own privacy policies.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data. Most app data remains stored locally on your device.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • Request access to your data
