Privacy Policy
Lancenova Studios ("we", "our", or "us") builds digital products, games, and focus utilities in the United Kingdom. We design our software so your personal data stays on your device wherever technically possible.
1. Keel for Android
Keel works entirely on your Android phone. It does not request the android.permission.INTERNET permission, so it cannot send anything off your phone. It has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no third-party code. Lancenova Studios receives no data from Keel at all.
- Accessibility permission: only after you agree on Keel's own disclosure screen, Keel uses Android's accessibility service on your phone to see which app is in front; the web address in your browser, to tell sites apart and to block adult sites if you choose that; what you type in search boxes in browsers and feed apps, for the same reason; whether a Reel, Short or feed is on screen, to count Reels and notice non-stop scrolling; and that you scrolled, tapped or typed (never what), to count hands-on time.
- What Keel keeps: only times and counts (minutes per app and category, Reels watched, breaks, puzzles), and your settings, stored on your phone. It never keeps web addresses, searches, messages or what's on screen.
- What Keel does with the permission: it uses it only to keep the limits you set: going back or home, holding the screen still for a few seconds, opening a blank search page in your browser when a site's time is up, and drawing the Keel drop and its cards over other apps. It never reads your messages, emails, passwords or payments.
- Usage access and notifications: with your permission Keel reads Android's own screen-time records to show your time per app, and shows a quiet notification with today's time.
- Backups: Keel's data is excluded from cloud backup and phone-to-phone transfer. The only copy that ever leaves the app is a backup file you choose to save yourself, to a place you choose.
- No Data Transmission: Nothing observed by Keel's accessibility service or usage counters is ever transmitted off your phone, stored on external servers, or shared with Lancenova Studios or any third party.
- Deletion: uninstalling Keel, or clearing its storage in Android Settings, permanently deletes all of its settings, times and counts from your phone.
- Children: Keel is not directed at children under 13.
2. Numara (3D Math Runner)
Numara stores gameplay progression, unlocked cosmetics, My Desk configurations, and coin balances primarily on your device.
- We do not sell personal data or serve behavioral third-party profiling advertisements to children or families.
- If optional platform services (such as Google Play Games Services, Apple Game Center, or store in-app purchases) are used, those transactions are processed directly by Google or Apple under their respective privacy policies.
3. Website (`lancenova.com`) & Email Contact

If you email us at hello@lancenova.com or support@lancenova.com (including to join the Keel Google Play closed test), we use your email address solely to reply to your inquiry or register your Google Play tester invite. You may request deletion of your email correspondence at any time.
