Recover Deleted Messages! is a product of Vidow™. This app helps users retrieve notifications or media deleted by the sender. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information.
1. Information Collection
Our app does not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email, phone number, or contacts). We only use certain technical permissions to ensure the app works correctly and provides its intended features.
2. How the app works?
This application retains notifications locally on the user’s device through Notification Access. No personal information is collected, transmitted, or shared. Notifications or messages deleted prior to installation, or during periods when Notification Access is disabled, are not recoverable.
3. Permissions Used
- INTERNET - Required to connect with servers for backup, recovery updates, and showing limited ads (if applicable).
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS - Allows the app to notify you instantly when messages are deleted so recovery can begin.
-
BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE - Enables the app to securely read notifications in real time to detect deleted messages.
This permission is essential for the app to deliver its main feature — recovering deleted messages. We do not use this permission to read or collect personal information.
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Lets the app access media files linked to deleted messages (e.g., photos, videos) for recovery.
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Used to restore and save recovered files back to your storage.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE - Ensures recovery runs reliably in the background without being stopped.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE - Allows special background recovery operations without interruption.
- REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS - Prevents the system from stopping recovery services during battery saving.
- WAKE_LOCK - Keeps the device awake during critical recovery processes to avoid data loss.
- BILLING - Supports optional in-app purchases or premium recovery features.
Note: We do not collect, store, or share any personal data from these permissions with third parties. The app only accesses notification data and local device storage, and does not read actual chat content directly from other apps or servers.
4. Data Sharing
