Part 20: Privacy & Transparency

162. Transparency Center

Trust is the core of Minimaa. The Transparency Center is a dedicated section within the settings that explicitly details our offline-by-design pledge.

163. Permission Explanations

Android requires extensive permissions for a launcher to function effectively (like App Discovery, App Management, and Notification Shielding). The Transparency Center logs every single hardware and software permission requested by Minimaa and explains exactly why it is necessary.

164. Managing Permissions

You have absolute control over your device. From the Transparency Center, you can review the active status of every permission Minimaa currently holds.

165. Revoking Permissions

If you are uncomfortable with a specific feature (like the Notification Shield reading your incoming alerts), you can use the instant shortcuts provided in this menu to jump directly to your system settings and revoke the permission.

166. Privacy Philosophy

Minimaa operates under a strict Zero-Internet and No-Cloud-Sync architecture. The application is completely blocked from accessing the internet. Your usage data, journals, app configurations, and habits never leave your local hardware.
