iPro Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 9, 2026 · Last updated: November 9, 2026
iPro (package name com.iosdrop) is an Android home-screen launcher made by SIXAR STUDIOS. This policy covers what the app does with your information. It applies only to iPro, not to other apps or websites it may link to.
1. Who we are
SIXAR STUDIOS, Lagos, Nigeria.
Email: sixarstudiosenugu@gmail.com
2. The free version and the paid version
iPro is free to download. You can use it free with ads, or make a one-time purchase to use it without ads. Ads are shown only in the free version. The purchase is handled by Google Play.
3. What the app accesses on your device
iPro asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it. You can switch any of them off in Android Settings at any time; that feature stops working and the rest of the app carries on.
| Information / permission | Why iPro uses it | Leaves your device? |
|---|---|---|
| Location (approximate or precise) | Shows local weather, air quality and your city name in the Weather widget. | Yes. Your coordinates go to Open-Meteo (section 5). The city name comes from your phone’s built-in geocoder, which, depending on the phone, may contact the manufacturer’s or Google’s location service. |
| Calendar (read only) | Shows upcoming events and the date in the Calendar widget. | No. |
| Photos you pick (no photo permission) | Shows the photos you choose in the Photos widget and the image you pick as a wallpaper. You choose them with Android’s own file picker, so iPro never gets access to the rest of your gallery. | No. The wallpaper depth effect also runs on your device (section 5). |
| Notification access | Shows incoming notifications in the Dynamic Island and badge counts on app icons. iPro reads the title, text and app name only to display them to you. | No. Notification content is not stored permanently and is never sent anywhere. |
| Phone state | Detects an incoming or ongoing call so the Dynamic Island can show it. iPro does not read your call history, contacts or call audio. | No. |
| Accessibility service (optional, off by default) | Used to (1) carry out system actions you ask for, such as opening Recents, Home or Back, the power menu, a screenshot or the lock screen, from a gesture or Control Center button, and (2) detect the name of the app in front so the Dynamic Island can hide in games and full-screen video. It does not read what is on your screen, your messages, passwords or anything you type, and it cannot tap or control other apps. The app name is kept in memory only. iPro explains all of this on screen before asking you to turn it on. | No. |
| Display over other apps (optional) | Lets iPro draw the Dynamic Island on top of other apps. While it is on, iPro shows a persistent notification. It does not capture or record what is underneath. | No. |
| Installed apps list | Needed to show your apps on the home screen and in the App Library, launch them, and turn an app into a widget. | No. The list is never uploaded. |
| Biometrics / device lock (optional) | Used by the lock screen feature. Android does the authentication; iPro only receives “success” or “failed”, never your fingerprint, face data or PIN. | No. |
| Media sessions and system status | Shows what is playing in the Music widget and Dynamic Island, and battery, storage, connectivity and Bluetooth state in widgets and Control Center. | No. |
| Camera (flashlight only) | Turns the flashlight on and off from Control Center. iPro does not take photos or video. | No. |
4. What iPro stores on your device
iPro keeps your layout and settings, widget choices, any notes or checklist items you type into a widget, the last weather result, and a record of whether you have bought the app. All of it sits in the app’s private storage. Android backup is turned off for iPro, so none of it is copied to cloud backups. Clearing the app’s data or uninstalling it deletes everything.
5. Who else receives information
We do not sell your personal information. These are the only outside services iPro uses:
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) | The latitude and longitude for the forecast, plus your IP address, as with any internet request. No name, email, account or device ID. | To return the weather and air-quality data in the Weather widget. It is contacted only while a Weather widget is on your home screen. See Open-Meteo’s terms. |
| Google AdMob (Google LLC), free version only | Your Android advertising ID, IP address, and device and app details such as device model, OS version and app version. Google may also use these to estimate your approximate location. Ad interaction data (such as which ads were shown or tapped) is also collected. We do not pass your precise coordinates, calendar, notifications, photos or installed-apps list to the ad service. | To show and measure ads, prevent ad fraud and, if you allow it, personalise ads. See how Google uses data in ads. |
| Google Play (Google LLC) | Purchase and ownership information, under your Google account. We never see your card details, name or email. | To process the one-time purchase and confirm you own it. See Google’s Privacy Policy. |
| Google Play services / ML Kit (Google LLC) | Nothing from your wallpaper. The depth effect runs on your phone using ML Kit subject segmentation. Google Play services downloads the model, and Google says ML Kit may collect limited technical data such as performance metrics and device details. | To separate the subject of your wallpaper from its background. See Google’s ML Kit data disclosure. |
| Your phone’s geocoder (manufacturer / Google) | Your coordinates, to turn them into a city name. | Display only. This is part of your phone and follows its provider’s policy. |
6. Ads and your choices about them
- The paid version shows no ads and does not load the ad service.
- In the free version, you can limit ad personalisation or reset your advertising ID in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads (the exact path varies by phone).
- If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, iPro shows Google’s consent form before loading ads, and you can change your answer later from the same form.
- Ads are served by Google, so we cannot control which advertisers appear.
7. Purchase information
After you buy, iPro asks Google Play whether your account owns the purchase and saves the result on your phone so the app can work offline. That record is protected with keys held in the Android Keystore.
8. How long information is kept
We keep nothing on our own servers. What iPro stores on your phone stays until you clear the app’s data or uninstall it. Open-Meteo and Google keep what they receive under their own policies.
9. Security
iPro’s data stays in private app storage, and weather requests use HTTPS. No app can promise perfect security, but we avoid collecting what we do not need.
10. Your rights and choices
- Permissions: change them in Android Settings > Apps > iPro > Permissions.
- Special access: notification access, the accessibility service and display-over-other-apps can each be turned off in Android Settings.
- Stop weather sharing: remove the Weather widget from your home screen.
- Delete your data: clear the app’s storage or uninstall iPro.
- Ads: see section 6.
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and similar laws elsewhere such as the GDPR in Europe, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, or to object to how it is used. We hold none of your data on a server, so there is usually nothing for us to look up, but you can email us any request and we will answer it. For data held by Google or Open-Meteo, contact them directly.
11. Children
iPro is a general-purpose app and is not meant for children under 13 (or under 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. If you think a child has given us any, email us and we will help.
12. Other countries
Open-Meteo and Google may process information outside your country. By using the Weather widget, the wallpaper depth effect, the free version with ads, or making a purchase, you accept that this may happen under their policies.
13. Changes to this policy
If iPro or the law changes, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date. For changes that affect what is collected, we will also say so in the app or on the Google Play listing.
