Lawnchair Legacy utilizes the AccessibilityService permission to optionally enhance certain system functions, such as desktop gestures for actions like turning off the screen. The launcher will prompt you to enable this service if required by your configuration, though it is not necessary for all users. Rest assured, no data is collected through the AccessibilityService; it is solely used to trigger system actions.
Additionally, Lawnchair uses the Device Administrator permission to lock the screen upon detecting a selected gesture. This feature is optional and comes disabled by default, ensuring users have full control over its activation.
