Use of AccessibilityService API (Required Disclosure)
HelpSathi uses the Android AccessibilityService API only to detect triple-pressing of the volume button, which activates the SOS feature.

This permission is strictly limited to detecting the volume button press pattern — it does not read or collect any personal data, text, or screen content.

• HelpSathi does not use AccessibilityService for call recording, UI control, automation, or any restricted purpose.
• The permission is requested transparently, and users must manually enable it in system settings.
• Data accessed (user input events) is used only to detect SOS activation and is never shared or stored.

HelpSathi fully complies with Google Play’s User Data and AccessibilityService API policies.
