Privacy and Permissions

Button Mapper uses Accessibility services to detect physical or capacitive button presses, allowing for custom action remapping. It does not monitor your typing or collect personal information, ensuring your privacy is respected.

The app also uses the Device Administrator permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN) to lock the screen if the "Turn screen off" action is selected. If you wish to remove this permission, you can do so through the app's settings.

With Button Mapper, you can tailor your device's functionality to fit your unique needs, making every button press an opportunity to streamline your digital experience.
