TL;DR: Quick Summary

  • We collect no personal data — no names, emails, contacts, or passwords.
  • The app runs entirely offline. No data is sent to external servers.
  • All "scanning" and "update" animations are purely visual — cosmetic effects only.

1. Information We Collect

Fake System Update does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The app operates entirely offline on your device.

2. Data Storage

The app stores only your prank configuration preferences (update style, duration, exit method) locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.

  • Full Screen Intent – To launch the prank screen from a scheduled trigger.

No permission is used to access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, location, or any other personal data.

4. External Links

The app includes links to our website (fakesysupdate.softexforge.io) where users can optionally share their prank experiences. When you visit this website:

  • No data is automatically sent from the app
  • Sharing is entirely user-initiated
