Privacy & Data Policy — Hack Me

Privacy & Data Policy — Hack Me

Effective date: [12/11/2025]
App name: Hack Me
Package name: [com.devin.hackme]

1. Quick summary

Hack Me is a prank hacking simulation app. It is designed for entertainment only — it does not perform any real hacking, and nothing on the device is modified.
We do not collect personal information (names, emails, device identifiers, contacts, location, files, or passwords) within the app itself.

2. What the app itself collects

  • Nothing personal. Hack Me does not collect, transmit, store, or share personal information from your device.

  • The app may store only local, non-identifying settings (for example: user-selected theme, simulated-speed preference) on the device to preserve UI preferences. These settings are stored locally on the device and are not sent to any server.

3. Simulated content & fake URLs (important)

  • The app intentionally displays simulated UI, including fake "scans", fake terminal output, and example URLs shown in screens to make the simulation look believable.

  • These displayed URLs are visual only. They are not required to exist and typically do not point to functional web resources. If a URL appears and you tap it, the app will either:

    • show an in-app informational page explaining it is simulated, or

    • show a blocked/placeholder page explaining the link is for demonstration only.

  • We do not attempt to connect to or scrape the fake URLs to gather data. If a link opens an external website, the behavior will be explicitly shown to you and require confirmation before leaving the app (but by default, the app shows simulated pages only).

4. Third-party services and external resources

Although the app itself does not collect personal data, your device or operating system may request resources from third parties to render app content (for example, remote fonts, CDN-hosted assets, or optional web preview content). Those requests are made by your device to the third-party provider and may result in minimal network logs on the third party’s side (for example, IP address, timestamp, user-agent, and referrer) which are out of the developer’s control.

Examples:

  • Google Fonts / Google CDN (if used) — the font server may receive a request from your device when the app or an in-app webview loads a remote font. That server may log connection metadata. For Google’s policies, please consult Google’s own privacy documentation.

  • App distribution platforms (Google Play, Amazon) — these platforms may log installation, crash, or usage telemetry according to their own policies. Please review the platform’s privacy policy if you have concerns.

We encourage users to review third-party privacy policies for the services they care about. The developer does not receive or store IP addresses or third-party logs from these services as part of the app.

5. Analytics / Advertising

  • By default, Hack Me does not include analytics or advertising SDKs. If you publish a version that includes analytics or advertising, those services will be listed here and nullified unless you add them intentionally.

  • If you add third-party analytics or ad SDKs later, you must update this policy to disclose them and explain what they collect and how users can opt out.

6. Permissions

The app will only request permissions that are necessary for the simulation features you explicitly enable. By default, Hack Me requests no sensitive permissions (e.g., camera, microphone, contacts). If a permission is requested during an optional feature (for example, to record a prank video or share an image), the permission request will be clear and optional.

7. Data retention & deletion

  • Since Hack Me does not collect personal data, there is nothing to delete on our servers.

  • If the app stores local preferences on the device, you can delete those by uninstalling the app or clearing app data from your device settings.

8. Children

The app is intended for general audiences but contains simulated “hacking” content. If you offer the app to children under 13 (or local legal age), you are responsible for ensuring this is appropriate in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Security

We take reasonable precautions to ensure local data is stored safely on the device. However, because Hack Me stores no personal data by design, risk of personal data exposure through our app is minimal. Always keep your device and apps up to date.

10. Open-source and attribution

This app includes or is based on open-source code originally published under the MIT License by Chase Kaiser on CodePen:

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. When we do, we will update the “Effective date” above. If we add any networked features (analytics, advertising, or server backends), we will update this policy to clearly disclose what data is collected and how to opt out.

In-app short notice / disclaimer (paste into app's first screen or about page)

Disclaimer: Hack Me is a prank simulation app for entertainment only. It does not perform any real hacking or alter your device. We do not collect personal data. Some visual screens may show sample/fake URLs for realism — these are not functional. If you see a link, the app will explain whether it is simulated before opening any external site.
