Nyx Labs Privacy Policy
This page covers the current privacy posture for Nyx Labs and the Back to Normal Android app.
Last updated: April 10, 2026
Overview
Back to Normal is an Android app that helps users review installed apps and decide what to keep, remove, or investigate further.
What the app accesses
- the list of installed applications
- app package names
- app labels and icons
- app install timestamps
- app-declared permissions
- whether an app can act as a launcher or home app
If monitoring is enabled, the app also responds to Android package install/update broadcasts so it can review newly added or updated apps and optionally show a local notification.
What the app stores locally
- scan history summaries, such as how many apps were scanned and how many were flagged
- per-scan flagged app records, including package name, app name, warning text, risk level, and install timestamp
- apps the user dismissed or chose to keep for now, stored by package name
- feedback provided when a flagged app is kept
- settings such as onboarding completion and monitoring preference
- temporary notification-action tokens used to validate taps from the app's own notifications
This information is stored locally on-device using Android Room, DataStore, and app-private shared preferences.
What Nyx Labs does not do
- require an account
- collect contacts, messages, photos, or personal files
- include advertising SDKs
- send the user’s installed app list or scan history to Nyx Labs servers
- sell personal data
- share personal data with advertisers or data brokers
At the time of this policy, the Android app does not use its own backend service for analytics, profiling, or cloud sync.
Notifications
If monitoring is enabled and notification permission is granted on the device, Back to Normal may send local notifications when a newly installed or updated app appears worth reviewing.
Data sharing
Back to Normal does not share personal data with third parties from within the Android app.
Deletion
Because app data is stored locally on-device, users can delete data by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in Android settings.
