Compliance Overview
Starting in July 2026 and with Niagara Launcher v1.16.0, our updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy go into effect for everyone. This page serves as a hub for all related documents and a summary of the changes.
What is changing?
Not much is changing in practice. Our values remain the same: we will never sell your data, and we will never show ads in Niagara Launcher. Only minimal interaction data is sent and you can opt out of personal data sharing entirely. You can learn more by reading our Privacy Policy Summary.
We’re mainly professionalizing the structure around Niagara Launcher and how we run things.
For transparency, we want to explain in plain language what is changing and why. This summary is not a legal document and is not part of the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
For transparency reasons, we provide an easier-to-understand explanation of what is changing and why the changes are necessary. For this reason, the following section is not a legal document and is not part of the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
Why Was the Update Necessary?
We updated the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for three major reasons:
Restructuring the Company Behind Niagara Launcher
We’re still the same team and remain fully self-funded. We only changed the legal structure behind Niagara Launcher, from Peter Huber to Mellowdrop GmbH (German version of a “Limited” company). As the team has grown and is now working on Niagara Launcher full-time, it made sense to put a more professional structure in place.
International Distribution
We have users all over the globe, and that is amazing. However, writing an accurate Privacy Policies for an international audience is complex. Therefore we now use a tool called iubenda, which helps us meet the legal requirements of many different countries.
Spreading the Word
We want more people to discover Niagara Launcher, so we’re testing new marketing channels and running ads for Niagara Launcher on different platforms. To be clear, we do not show ads inside Niagara Launcher, and we do not plan to ever show ads inside Niagara Launcher.
To understand whether our campaigns are working, we may need to share limited technical data with ad platforms, this may include Ad-IDs or attribution-related information. This is used only to measure campaign performance and does not give ad platforms access to your personal content or full interaction data inside Niagara Launcher nor any other apps.
Thank you for caring about your data 💙
