سياسة الخصوصية

Introduction

We at Android Secrets respect our users' privacy and are committed to protecting their data. This policy explains what we collect (and what we don't), and how you can control your choices inside the app.

Our app complies with Google Play policies and Google AdMob policies.

What data does the app collect?

1. Data stored locally on your device only

• Your favorite articles list.
• Your preferred language (auto-detected from your phone).
• Dark mode and font size preferences.

This data is never sent to any server and we cannot access it.

2. Data the app collects, transfers off your device, and shares with third parties

Yes, this app collects data, transfers it off your device, and shares it with a third party. The app uses the Google AdMob advertising SDK to keep development free for users. That SDK collects the following data and sends it to Google's servers:

• Device or other IDs — your device's Advertising ID.
• Approximate location — country/city level, derived from your IP address (we never use GPS).
• App activity — your interaction with ads (impressions/clicks).
• App info and performance — technical diagnostics (device type, OS, language, IP address).

Purpose: serving and measuring ads, fraud prevention, and frequency capping.

This data is shared with: Google LLC and its advertising partners, as independent third parties. See How Google uses data in ads.

All transfers use an encrypted connection (HTTPS).

3. What the app never collects

• We do not collect your name, email, or phone number.
• We do not require sign-in and do not have user accounts.
• We do not access contacts, messages, photos, camera, or microphone.
• We do not track your precise (GPS) location.

Permissions requested by the app

Permission	Reason
INTERNET	To load ads only.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE	To check connectivity before requesting an ad.
AD_ID	To show relevant ads (you can reset/disable it in your phone settings).

The app does not request any sensitive permissions (location, camera, microphone, contacts, private storage).

Ads inside the app

We use three Google AdMob ad types in a thoughtful, non-intrusive way:

• Banner: A small bar at the bottom that does not cover article content.
• Interstitial: Shown occasionally after browsing several articles, with a cool-down period to avoid disrupting the user.
• Native: A clearly labeled "Ad" card inside article lists, matching the app's design.

You can opt out of personalized ads via: Phone Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of personalized ads, or reset your Advertising ID.

Children's Privacy

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from children. Ad content rating is set to PG (suitable for everyone).

Data Security and Retention

Encryption in transit: all data that leaves your device for Google is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).

We hold no data ourselves: we operate no servers, no databases and no user accounts. The data described above goes directly from Google's advertising SDK to Google; it never passes through us and we cannot access it.

Retention:

• On your device (favourites, language, dark mode, font size): kept until you delete it by clearing app data or uninstalling.
• By Google (Advertising ID and associated data): per the Google Privacy Policy and the retention periods stated there.
• By us: none — we never receive any data at all.

For full deletion details, see the data deletion page.

Your Rights

• You can delete all local data instantly by uninstalling the app or clearing its data. See the data deletion page for step-by-step instructions.
• You can control ads via your phone's Google settings.
• You can contact us anytime for privacy-related questions.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with the "Last updated" date at the top.
