Your apps.
Your data.

We collect no personal information. There is no developer backend for this app, so there is nowhere for app data to go. Specifically, we do not collect:

• your name, email address, phone number or postal address;
• your list of installed apps, usage history or search queries;
• the APKs, icons or other files you extract;
• your location, contacts, calendar, photos, camera, microphone or messages;
• device identifiers, advertising IDs, IP-based profiles or crash logs;
• anything used for advertising, profiling or tracking across apps.

The only time we receive personal information is when you choose to contact us by email. That is covered in retention and deletion.

Apk Extractor needs to read information about installed apps to do its job. All of that work happens locally, inside Android's app sandbox, and never leaves your phone.

Installed apps

When the app opens, Android's PackageManager gives it each installed app's label, package name, version, size, icon, target and minimum SDK, UID and declared permissions. The list is kept in memory while the app is open and is used only to draw the list, search it and show app details. It is not stored permanently and is not uploaded.

APKs and icons you choose to extract

When you tap Extract, the app copies the selected app's APK from Android's package location into the folder you picked. When you tap Save Icon, it writes a PNG of the app icon to the same kind of folder. Android's Storage Access Framework gives the app access only to the location you explicitly choose; it cannot browse or modify the rest of your storage.

Your preferences

Settings such as theme mode, theme colour, naming format, the “show app details” switch and the last chosen folder are stored in the app's private preferences on your device. They are used only to remember how you like the app to behave.

Android system backup

If you have enabled device backup in Android, the operating system may include app preferences in your encrypted Google backup. That backup is controlled by you and Google, not by the developer, and we cannot access it. You can turn it off in your device's system settings.

The app asks for the minimum permissions it needs. It does not ask for storage, location, camera, microphone, contacts, phone, SMS or calendar access.

Apk Extractor has no backend, no cloud sync and no third-party SDKs for advertising, analytics or crash reporting. It does not include ad networks, social plug-ins or tracking libraries.

Your device may contact another service only when you choose to:

• Google Play — if you tap Rate Us, View on Play Store or a similar link. Google handles that request under the Google privacy policy.
• Your email app — if you tap Customer Support or Feedback. The message is sent by your email provider; we receive only what you write.
• Android Sharesheet — if you share an APK or app link. The app you pick receives the file and handles it under its own privacy policy.
• Your browser — if you open a web link from the app, such as this policy or the developer's website.

These services are optional and initiated by you. Apk Extractor does not control their privacy practices.

Extracted APKs and icons are ordinary files in the folder you selected. You can share them using Android's share sheet or any file manager. Once you share a file, it leaves the app's private storage and the receiving app or person can keep a copy.

Only share APKs you have the right to share. An APK contains the original app's code and resources, which may be protected by copyright or a licence. See the Terms of Use for the rules that apply to extracted files.

This policy site is a static website hosted on Cloudflare. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party fonts, scripts or images. All fonts and images are served from this same domain.

Like any website, Cloudflare processes standard technical data such as your IP address, browser user-agent and requested URL in order to deliver pages and protect the service from abuse. That processing is described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not have access to a visitor-level analytics profile.

If you email us, your message passes through your email provider and ours. We use it only to reply to you.

Because we operate no server for the app, there is no server-side account or usage record to delete. Data on your device works like this:

• App preferences remain until you clear the app's data or uninstall it.
• Extracted APKs and icons remain in the folder you chose until you delete them with a file manager. Uninstalling Apk Extractor does not delete them.
• Support emails are kept only as long as needed to answer you, then deleted. You can ask us to delete them sooner.

To request deletion of an email conversation, write to msaadakram786@gmail.com with the subject “Data deletion request”. See also the support page.

The app runs inside Android's application sandbox and writes only through the folder permission you grant. It does not transmit your app list, extracted files or settings over a network. This website is served over HTTPS with HSTS enabled.

No method of storage is completely secure. Files you extract are only as protected as your device and the folder you choose. If you share an APK, it leaves the app's protection and is handled by the receiving app. Keep your device lock enabled and share only with people you trust.

Apk Extractor is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). The app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we will delete it.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of personal data, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

We hold no account or usage data about you. If you have emailed us, you can ask for a copy or deletion of that correspondence by writing to msaadakram786@gmail.com.

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
• We do not use dark patterns or tracking to profile you.

This site does not track visitors, so browser “Do Not Track” signals do not change anything. If your request concerns a right that does not apply because no data exists, we will tell you that in our reply.

We may update this policy if the app's features or the law change. The “updated” date at the top always reflects the current version, and the previous version is kept in this site's Git history. If a change is material, we will make it clear on this page and, where appropriate, in the app.

Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Questions, privacy requests or concerns about Apk Extractor are welcome. The developer answers email directly, usually within 7 business days.
