AppPad – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

AppPad – Quick App Search ("AppPad") is an Android app by Michal Cerman that lets you find and open the apps installed on your phone using a phone keypad. This policy explains what AppPad does with data. In short: AppPad does not collect, send or share any data.

Data AppPad does not collect

AppPad has no internet permission and cannot connect to the internet. It contains no advertising, analytics, crash reporting or tracking code, and it has no user accounts. No personal or device data ever leaves your phone through AppPad, and the developer receives no data about you or how you use the app.

Data stored only on your phone

To work, AppPad keeps the following on your device, inside its private app storage:

• the list of launchable apps (name and icon) so that results appear instantly;
• how often and when you opened each app through AppPad, so that the apps you use most are shown first;
• your settings (for example the number of results and whether the tutorial was shown).

This data is excluded from Android backup and device-to-device transfer, so it is not copied to Google Drive or to another phone. You can delete it at any time by clearing AppPad's storage in Android settings or by uninstalling the app.

Permissions

AppPad requests no Android permissions. It sees the apps that appear in your app launcher through Android's standard launcher APIs, which do not require a permission.

Purchases

If you buy AppPad on Google Play, the payment is handled entirely by Google. The developer receives only the aggregate sales information Google provides to all developers; see Google's Privacy Policy.

Children

AppPad is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
