FauxClockNG privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-10-09. This policy covers the Google Play version of FauxClockNG, package com.faux123.fauxclockng.
FauxClockNG changes kernel settings on your rooted device. It has no account, no ads, and no analytics. It contacts the developer's server only for the reasons listed below.
Data the app sends
When you buy or restore the Pro unlock
The app sends this to the licence server at kep.canonspike.com, which the developer operates:
- The Google Play purchase token.
- The product ID
pro_unlock. - A device hash. The app computes it from your Android ID with a keyed hash. The app never sends the Android ID itself.
The server asks Google whether the purchase is real and returns a signed licence token. The app later sends that token and the device hash to the same server to refresh it. This data is used only to confirm your purchase and tie it to your device. If you never buy Pro, none of it is sent.
If you turn on benchmark sharing
Benchmark sharing is off until you turn it on in settings. When it is on, the app sends: your device model, Android version number, kernel version, CPU governor, I/O scheduler, charge limit percentage, whether KSM is on, the TCP congestion control setting, 7-day figures for battery drain, peak temperature, and throttle events, and a timestamp. The upload carries a random ID that the app generates. It is not linked to your name or to an account. Turning sharing off asks the server to delete what you uploaded.
If you submit a crash report
After a crash, the app asks on the next launch whether to send a report. The report holds the error and stack trace, app version, device model and maker, Android version, CPU architecture, and thread name. If you choose Submit, the app opens a pre-filled GitHub issue in your browser, and the report is sent only if you submit that issue on GitHub. GitHub's terms apply to that issue. If you choose Discard, the app deletes the report.
If you load a kernel list from a web address
If you type a web address on the kernel flashing screen, the app fetches that address. The request goes to the site you typed, not to the developer. It carries the app version, Android version number, and device codename, and nothing else about you.
Data the app does not send
The app does not send your name, email, location, contacts, files, the list of apps you have installed, or the name of the app you are using. It does not use an advertising ID. It contains no advertising or analytics code.
Data that stays on your device
Your saved profiles, settings, kernel backups, and statistics (CPU, temperature, and battery readings) stay on your device. If you grant Usage access, the app reads which app is in the foreground so that it can apply the profile you set for that app. That reading never leaves the device.
Google services
Google Play handles your payment, and the developer never sees your card details. The app also asks Google Play services for the current time (to check the licence) and requests a Play Integrity token at launch. Google's privacy policy covers those requests.
How long data is kept, and how to delete it
- The licence server keeps the purchase record (order ID, purchase token, and device hash) for as long as the licence exists, so that you can restore Pro. It holds no name or email for Play purchases.
- To have your purchase record deleted, follow the steps on the data deletion page, or write to fauxapps@gmail.com with your Google Play order number. Deleting it does not refund the purchase; you can use Restore purchase in the app to create it again.
- Benchmark data: turn benchmark sharing off in the app's settings. The app then asks the server to delete what you uploaded.
Children
FauxClockNG is a tool for adults who maintain their own rooted devices. It is not directed at children.
