【About the Use of Accessibility Services】

StepLock uses the AccessibilityService API to manage the usage time of set apps according to the number of steps. It identifies when a restricted app set by the user is displayed in the foreground and locks/unlocks it according to the number of steps.

The AccessibilityService API retrieves the package name of the displayed app and the screen state necessary to determine the foreground app. It does not collect or store text displayed on the screen, input content, or passwords. The information obtained will only be used within the device and will not be transmitted externally or shared with third parties.
