Who we are

Walvora ("Walvora", "we", "us") is an Android app published on Google Play by Muhammad Daniyal. It lets you set depth-effect wallpapers where the clock sits behind the subject, with a custom lock screen and an always-on display (AOD). This policy explains what information the app handles and how.

What stays on your phone

Walvora saves the following only in its private storage on your device. None of it is sent to us.

Your clock designs: font, colours, layout, depth and animation choices.
Your settings, such as lock screen, AOD, brightness and screen-off timing.
Copies of the wallpapers you use and the subject cut-outs made from them.

Photos you add

When you add your own photo, you pick it with Android's photo picker, so Walvora only receives the photos you choose — it cannot see the rest of your gallery. The photo is copied into the app's private storage, and the subject (a person, pet or object) is cut out on your device so the clock can appear behind it. Your photos are never uploaded to our servers, and you can delete them in the app at any time.

Permissions and why

Display over other appsShows your clock design above the system lock screen and as the always-on display.

Notification accessLets Android keep Walvora ready in the background without a permanent notification. Walvora does not read, store or share the content of your notifications.

Foreground service and notificationsIf notification access is off, a silent "Walvora is active" notification keeps the lock screen ready.

Set wallpaperSets a blurred copy of your chosen wallpaper as the system lock wallpaper, shown behind your PIN or pattern screen, and the optional live wallpaper on your home screen.

Wake lock, turn screen on, run at start-upTurns the screen on for the always-on display and restarts the lock screen after your phone reboots.

Flashlight and camera buttonsThe flashlight button switches your torch on or off. The camera button opens your phone's own camera app. Walvora does not take, see or store photos from the camera.

InternetUsed to download wallpapers and, through Google Play services, the on-device cut-out model.

You can change or revoke any permission in your phone's Settings. Some features stop working without the permission they need.

Google Play services

The subject cut-out uses Google ML Kit through Google Play services. The image is processed on your device. Google Play services may download the cut-out model and may collect limited diagnostic and usage information about this feature, which is handled under the Google Privacy Policy. Walvora is distributed through Google Play, which has its own privacy terms.

Keeping and deleting data

Everything Walvora stores stays on your device until you remove it. To delete it, long-press a photo you added and choose Delete, clear the app's data in your phone's Settings, or uninstall the app. Because we hold no copies, there is nothing further to delete on our side.

Children

Walvora is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change how Walvora handles information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
