Privacy Policy
Multiverse lets you run more than one copy of an app on the same phone, each with its own separate storage and login. This page explains exactly what the app does and does not do with your information.
The short version. Multiverse has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Nothing is transmitted anywhere unless you choose to send a bug report from inside the app. Everything else — your clones, their data, and your app-lock PIN — stays on your device.
1. Information sent off your device
There is exactly one feature that transmits anything: Settings → Report a bug / Send feedback. Nothing is sent until you press Submit. If you never use it, Multiverse sends nothing at all.
When you submit a report, the following is included:
| What | Why | Optional? |
|---|---|---|
| The message you type | To understand the problem or suggestion | Required |
| App version and package name | To know which build the report came from | Always included |
| Device make and model, Android version, CPU ABI (for example: TECNO LJ8k, Android 15, arm64-v8a) | To reproduce device-specific problems | Always included |
| Your email address | Only so the developer can reply | Optional — leave it blank and none is sent |
| Up to 3 screenshots you attach | To show the problem | Optional — you choose each one |
Reports are delivered by email to the developer through FormSubmit, a form-to-email relay. FormSubmit passes the message on and receives nothing beyond what is listed above; under its own privacy terms it processes a submission only to deliver that email and does not use it for any other purpose.
Deliberately not collected in a report: no device serial number, no advertising ID, no ANDROID_ID, no phone number, no accounts on the device, no location, and no contents of your cloned apps.
2. Information kept only on your device
- Your clones and everything inside them. Cloned apps run in a sandbox inside Multiverse's own private storage. Their logins, messages, files and settings never leave your phone through Multiverse.
- Your app-lock PIN. The PIN itself is never stored. What is saved is a salted SHA-256 hash of it, so reading the app's storage — even on a rooted phone, or out of a backup — does not reveal your PIN. It is never transmitted. It also cannot be recovered: if you forget it, the only way back is to turn the app lock off and set it again.
- Fingerprint and biometrics. Unlocking uses Android's own biometric prompt. Multiverse never sees or stores your fingerprint; Android only tells the app whether the check passed.
- Your preferences. Clone names, ordering, sort choice and theme.
Uninstalling Multiverse removes all of it.
3. Permissions, and why they exist
This is the part most often misunderstood, so it is worth stating plainly: the permissions Multiverse requests are for the apps you clone, not for Multiverse itself. A cloned app runs inside Multiverse, so it can only use a capability if Multiverse holds it.
| Permission | Who actually uses it |
|---|---|
| Camera | A cloned app, when you use its camera — document scans, profile photos, QR codes |
| Contacts | A cloned messaging app, to find your contacts |
| Location (foreground only) | A cloned delivery, maps or ride app |
| Photos you choose | Attaching a screenshot to a bug report, and cloned apps picking images. Android's own picker hands over only the images you select |
| Notifications | So a cloned app can notify you |
| Biometric / fingerprint | The Multiverse app lock |
| Internet | Cloned apps' own network use, and sending a bug report |
| Running in the background | Keeping your clones alive after you leave Multiverse, so a cloned messaging app can still receive messages. Android requires a visible notification while this runs, and you can switch the whole thing off in Settings |
Multiverse itself does not read your contacts, does not use your camera, and does not collect your location. Android still asks you before any of these is granted, and you can revoke them at any time in Settings → Apps → Multiverse → Permissions.
Deliberately not requested at all: the microphone, background location, SMS, and the call log. The microphone was removed rather than kept unused — a permission that is never going to be honestly usable should not sit in the install prompt.
4. What Multiverse does not do
- No user accounts and no sign-in.
- No analytics, telemetry, crash-reporting SDK or usage tracking.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No selling or sharing of personal information with anyone.
- No profile building, and no data used to train anything.
- No reading of your cloned apps' contents by the developer.
5. How long reports are kept
Bug reports arrive as ordinary email in the developer's inbox and are kept only as long as needed to look into the issue. You can ask for a report of yours to be deleted by writing to the address below — include roughly when you sent it, so it can be found.
6. Children
Multiverse is a utility for managing your own apps. It is not directed at children and is not designed for or marketed to anyone under 13.
7. Security
Reports are uploaded over HTTPS. The app-lock PIN is stored only as a salted hash. Each clone's data lives in its own directory inside the app's private storage, which Android keeps separate from other apps. No system is perfectly secure — but nothing is stored on a server belonging to the developer, because there is no such server.
8. Changes to this policy
This page is kept in step with the app, so what you read here describes the version currently on Google Play rather than a snapshot from some earlier date. Material changes are also noted in the app's release notes on Google Play, which is where the dated history lives.
