Effective Date: October 5, 2026
Multi Software built the Android 14 Update Guide app as a commercial mobile application. The app may display advertisements and also offers an optional one-time in-app purchase to remove ads. This Service is provided by Multi Software and is intended for use as is.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our app. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1. App Purpose
Android 14 Update Guide is an informational guide app. It helps users:
- View basic device and Android version information
- Check update readiness guidance such as battery and storage status
- Learn how to check official Android system updates through phone settings
- Read Android 14 feature summaries, brand update guides, FAQs, and safety tips
This app does not download, install, modify, or provide Android system updates. Official updates are delivered only by your device manufacturer, carrier, or phone settings.
Android is a trademark of Google LLC. This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or any device manufacturer.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require users to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information such as name, email address, phone number, or address.
The app may display certain device information available on your phone, such as:
- Android version, SDK level, and build details
- Device brand, model, manufacturer, and hardware summary
- Security patch level
- Battery percentage and charging status
- Storage and RAM information
- Display details such as resolution, density, and refresh rate
- Other technical device details used for informational guidance
This information is used only inside the app to show update readiness and device guidance. We do not operate our own backend server to store this device information.
3. Local App Data
The app may store limited preferences locally on your device, such as:
- Theme preference (system, light, or dark)
- Whether onboarding has been completed
- Whether the Ad-free purchase is active on the device
This local data stays on your device and is used only to improve your app experience.
4. In-App Purchases
The app offers an optional one-time Google Play purchase to remove ads (Ad-free / lifetime unlock).
Purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. When you buy or restore Ad-free, Google Play may process purchase-related information linked to your Google account, such as product ID, purchase status, order details, and payment confirmation.
We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Payment processing is handled by Google Play according to Google’s policies.
You can restore a previous Ad-free purchase on the same Google account through the Restore purchase option in the app.

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, billing, consent management, and related services.
Third-party services used by this app include:
- Google Play Services

6. Advertising
This app may display ads using Google AdMob, including banner, interstitial, and native ads, unless you have purchased Ad-free.
AdMob may collect and process certain information such as device identifiers, Advertising ID, IP address, approximate location, ad interactions, and diagnostic information to show ads, prevent fraud, measure ad performance, and comply with legal requirements.
Depending on your region, you may be shown a consent form to manage your ad personalization choices. You can also manage ad personalization from your device or Google account settings.
If you purchase Ad-free, ads in the app are removed for that Google account purchase entitlement while the purchase remains valid.
7. Analytics and Crash Reporting
To improve app stability, performance, and purchase experience, the app uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.
These services may collect diagnostic and usage information such as:
- App events related to paywall views and purchase flow outcomes
- Device type and operating system version
- App version and configuration details
- Crash logs, error reports, and technical diagnostics
- Approximate timestamps of app use
This information helps us understand feature usage, diagnose billing or crash issues, and improve the app. We do not use these services to collect your name, email address, or other directly identifying personal contact details.
8. Log Data
In case of an app error, crash, or service issue, third-party services such as Firebase Crashlytics and Google services may collect diagnostic information. This may include device type, operating system version, app configuration, time and date of use, and other technical statistics.
We do not operate our own backend server to collect or store user log data.
9. Cookies
This app does not directly use cookies. However, third-party services used in the app, such as Google AdMob and Google Analytics / Firebase services, may use cookies or similar technologies to provide ads, measure performance, and improve their services.

Depending on your device and Android version, the app may request or use permissions needed for networking, ads, and purchases, such as:
- Internet access

These permissions are used to support ads, analytics, crash reporting, purchase verification, and normal app functionality.

If you click an external link, you will be directed to that site. These external sites are not operated by us, so we strongly advise you to review their privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.
12. Data Security
We value your trust and use commercially reasonable measures to protect information handled by the app and third-party services. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
