Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 9, 2026

Overview

Never Sleep is an Android utility that changes your device screen-off timeout when you explicitly enable the feature. We designed the app to work with minimal data collection.

Information we process

  • Screen timeout setting — When you turn Never Sleep on, the app writes a higher value to Android’s system screen-off timeout and stores your previous timeout locally so it can be restored.
  • App preferences — Stored on your device only (e.g. whether ads are disabled, whether Never Sleep was last enabled).
  • Advertising data — If ads are enabled, Google AdMob may collect device identifiers and usage signals to serve and measure ads. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

What we do not do

  • We do not operate user accounts or collect names, emails, or contacts.
  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not upload your screen-timeout preference to our servers — it stays on your device.

Permissions

Modify system settings — Required for the core feature. You grant this manually in Android Settings → Apps → Special app access.

Internet & network state — Used only when banner ads are enabled, so AdMob can load ads. You can disable ads in the in-app Settings menu.

Children

Never Sleep is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the revised policy.
