AOD Glow - Always On Display

Privacy Policy

This document applies to AOD Glow - Always On Display, the mobile app developed by Appio. We've tried to keep the text simple, so we hope you will take time to read it carefully.

Personal Information

We made AOD Glow - Always On Display with your privacy in mind, so we do not collect personally identifiable information such as your precise geographic location, address, or phone number.

Usage Analytics

To make our product more useful for you, we have integrated Google Analytics for Firebase into our app. It collects user behavior information in an anonymous form and transmits it to Firebase servers. That means only usage data is collected — no personally identifiable information. We use these reports to understand how to improve the app experience and prioritize development resources.

Advertising

We use ads to keep AOD Glow - Always On Display free for you. All ads in our app are served via the AdMob network. Ad networks mediated through AdMob may collect anonymous data about your interests to show personalized ads. This is done using your unique, resettable Advertising ID.
