Today marks 1 year since our announcement that we've joined the Branch and Sesame teams! 🎉
That also means it has been 1 year since we promised your data would be safe and (shocker) we were telling the truth!
Thank you for sticking with Nova Launcher! ❤️

I was referencing usual launchers with a rich set of features. As fas as I remember, one can also disable most of the permissions for no a as well, but this will kill all cool features.
I can see it requiring internet for integrating a search bar like it does, but why does their servers need that info instead of directly sending it to the search engine?
My only point was, that nova needs a lot of permissions on my device to make its cool features working AND it has access to the internet. So, technically it can collect and upload a lot of user’s data. If/how it does this, is a matter of trust.

And many people lost this trust.
