Welcome to Astra Browser Launcher (hereinafter referred to as "we" or "us"). We attach great importance to the security of your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you use the Astra Browser Launcher application (hereinafter referred to as "the App"), as well as the rights you have regarding this information.
I. Information We Collect and Use of Permissions
To provide browsing services, optimize product performance, and display personalized or non-personalized advertisements, the App may collect certain information and request necessary Android system permissions:
1. Relationship Between App Permissions and Functions
Network Access and Status (`INTERNET`, `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`): Used for web browsing, loading online resources, sending crash logs, and retrieving ad content.
Desktop Wallpaper Settings (`SET_WALLPAPER`, `SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS`): Allows you to set your favorite images or browsed content directly as your device wallpaper within the App.
Storage Permissions (`READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`, `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`): Used to support file downloads, saving web images, uploading local files, and managing download caches within the App.
Location Information (`ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION`, `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION`): Used only when you explicitly grant permission and a website you are visiting (such as map or weather services) requests location information; third-party ad SDKs may also provide relevant ads based on approximate location.
Camera Permissions (`CAMERA`, `android.hardware.camera`, `android.hardware.camera.flash`): Used to support features such as QR code scanning, taking photos for upload, or video calls within web pages.
Notification Permissions (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`): Used to send you notifications regarding download progress, product updates, or important system alerts.
Shortcuts (`INSTALL_SHORTCUT`): Allows you to add frequently visited websites or app functions to your device's home screen for quick access.
2. Automatically Collected Data (via Third-Party SDKs)
Third-party services may automatically collect device identifiers (such as Advertising IDs and IP addresses), device models, operating system versions, app crash logs, performance data, and ad interaction data.
II. Third-Party Services and SDK Integration
To maintain the App's free operation and analyze usage patterns, the App integrates Firebase and various third-party ad aggregation and ad delivery platforms. These third-party services may independently collect and process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies:
App Analytics and Core Services: Firebase (including Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, etc.)
Ad Aggregation and Ad Networks: TopOn, Vungle, UnityAds, IronSource, Pangle, Facebook (Meta Audience Network), AdMob (Google), AppLovin, Mintegral, Chartboost
These SDKs may use cookies, identifiers (such as GAID), and similar technologies to analyze user behavior, prevent ad fraud, and display relevant advertisements.
III. Children's Privacy
This application is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under 13.
If you are a teenager aged 13 or older, please use this application with the knowledge and consent of your guardian.
If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will immediately take steps to delete the relevant data from our servers. If a parent or guardian discovers such a situation, please contact us via the email address provided at the end of this policy.
IV. Data Use and Sharing
The information we collect is primarily used to:
Ensure the proper functioning of the application's core features (such as web page rendering, file downloads, and wallpaper settings).
Provide and optimize advertising services (via third-party ad service providers).
Diagnose app crashes, enhance system stability, and improve user experience.
Except as required by law or regulation, necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of us or our users, or involving the third-party SDK providers listed above, we will not sell, rent, or transfer your personal information to any unaffiliated third parties.
V. Data Security and Retention
We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can guarantee 100% absolute security.
VI. Your Rights and Choices
Permission Management: You may revoke permissions granted to this application (such as location, camera, storage, or notifications) at any time via your device's "Settings."
Personalized Advertising Choices: You can disable or reset your advertising ID through your device's Android settings to limit interest-based ad recommendations.
