Data Collected by 3Dev App Lock

3Dev App Lock does not collect or store any personal data, such as your name, email address, or other personally identifiable information. However, the app uses third-party services, including Firebase and advertising networks, to provide certain features. These third-party services may collect non-personally identifiable information, including your device identifiers and other technical data.

Firebase Services

Firebase is a platform developed by Google that provides various services to enhance app performance, including analytics, crash reporting, push notifications, remote configuration, and more. 3Dev App Lock uses Firebase for the following purposes:

• Firebase Analytics:
  Firebase Analytics allows us to collect and analyze data regarding user interactions within the app to improve the user experience. It tracks events, user engagement, app usage, and other performance-related metrics.

• Firebase Crashlytics:
  Firebase Crashlytics is used to collect crash reports and error data, which helps us identify and fix issues within the app to ensure a smooth user experience.

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Push Notifications:
  Firebase Cloud Messaging allows us to send push notifications to keep you informed about important updates, features, or promotions.

• Firebase Remote Config:
  Firebase Remote Config allows us to modify app behavior and appearance without releasing an update, providing users with a more personalized experience based on configuration data.

• Google Ads and Firebase Ad Integration:
  Firebase integrates with Google Ads for displaying advertisements within the app. This includes tracking user behavior, delivering personalized ads, and providing performance analytics for our advertising campaigns.

Paid Campaigns (CPI, CPA, TROAS)

We use Firebase and Google Ads for managing paid campaigns, including:

• Cost Per Install (CPI):
  Firebase helps track app installs generated by paid advertisements to measure the cost-effectiveness of our campaigns.

• Cost Per Action (CPA):
  Firebase allows us to track user actions (e.g., registration, purchase) after clicking on an ad, helping us optimize campaigns based on specific goals.

• Target Return on Ad Spend (TROAS):
  Firebase integrates with Google Ads to help us optimize campaigns aimed at maximizing return on investment for ads.

Advertising Networks

• Google AdMob

• Mintegral

4. Device Identifiers and Advertising ID

For advertising and performance analytics, we and our third-party partners may collect certain device identifiers such as:

These identifiers are used for:

• Personalized Advertising: To serve ads that are tailored to your interests and app usage.

• Analytics and Reporting: To track and measure the effectiveness of ads, user interactions, and app performance.

5. How We Use Your Data

• Improving App Performance: Using Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, we track app usage and performance to enhance the user experience and resolve any issues.

• Personalized Advertising: To deliver relevant and personalized ads through Google Ads and other advertising networks.

• Campaign Performance Tracking: Firebase and Google Ads allow us to track the effectiveness of paid campaigns, including CPI, CPA, and TROAS campaigns.
