Safe Charge Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

Safe Charge ("the app") tells you whether a charger or USB port is only charging your phone, and warns you if it does more than charge. It is published by Fdaytalk. This page explains what the app does with data. In short: all charger checks happen on your phone, there is no account and no server of ours, and the only data that leaves your phone is what ads and the optional Remove ads purchase need.

Stays on your phone

To do its job, the app reads these things on your phone:

• Whether the phone is charging, and the type of power source (wall adapter, USB port, wireless pad).
• Whether the connection opened a USB data mode, such as file transfer, and whether USB debugging is on.
• Which physical keyboards or mice are connected, by name.
• Which apps were newly installed while you charged, by name. The app can see apps that have a launcher icon. App names are not sent anywhere.

The app saves a short charger log on your phone (date, power source type and any warnings), and your settings. This data is never sent to us. You can clear the log in Settings, and removing the app deletes everything.

Ads

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. To show ads, Google may collect and use your device's advertising ID, IP address (for approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with ads. We do not receive this data and do not add anything else to it. Google's own privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and similar regions, the app asks for your consent through Google's consent message before showing ads. You can change your choice later in Settings under "Privacy choices". You can also reset or limit your advertising ID in your phone's Google settings.

Payments

Remove ads is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app only whether the purchase exists, so it can turn ads off. Google's own privacy policy applies to the purchase.

What the app does not collect

• No name, email address, phone number or account.
• No GPS or precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
• No analytics or tracking of our own, and no data sent to a server of ours.

Permissions the app uses, and why

• Notifications: to warn you when a charger does more than charge.
• Internet and advertising ID: for ads and Google Play purchases.
• Background checks: the app checks the charging state in the background while the phone is charging, using Android's standard scheduler.
• Quick Settings tile: optional, shows the result of the current charger.

Limits

Safe Charge warns only. It cannot block anything, scan a cable, or find malware, and it may not detect every kind of hostile charger. Use it as an extra signal, not a guarantee.

Keeping and deleting data

Because the app keeps its data only on your phone, you control it. Clear the charger log in Settings, or uninstall the app to remove all of it. Ad data held by Google is managed through your Google account's ad settings.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated policy.
