# Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** 2025-11-30

**GShell - ADB Shell** ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.

## 1. Information Collection

We do **not** knowingly collect, store, or share any personal information (such as your name, email address, or phone number).

### 1.1 Advertising Data

We use **Google AdMob** to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use data to serve personalized ads, including:

*   Device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID)

*   Usage data and diagnostics

*   General location data (based on IP address)

For more information, please review [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

## 2. App Permissions & Usage

Our app requires specific permissions to function correctly. These are used **strictly locally** on your device:

*   **Internet (`INTERNET`)**: Required to connect to the local ADB daemon (loopback connection) and to load advertisements from AdMob.

*   **Foreground Service (`FOREGROUND_SERVICE`)**: Required to keep the pairing service active while you switch apps to get the pairing code.

*   **Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`)**: Used to show the status of the pairing service and prompt for input.

## 3. Security

*   **ADB Keys**: The RSA keys used for ADB authentication are generated and stored locally on your device. We do not transmit these keys to any external server.

*   **Local Connection**: All ADB commands are executed locally on your device.

## 4. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
