This Privacy Policy describes how CarlTune (hereinafter referred to as 'the App') handles your information. Please note that the App itself does not directly collect any personal information that identifies you, such as your name or email address. However, for the purpose of providing certain functionalities and services, the App integrates with third-party services that may collect non-personally identifiable information or technical data.
The App is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
1. Information Handled by Third-Party Services
The App utilizes the following third-party services, which may collect or process certain types of information as described below:
a. Google AdMob (for Advertising Services)
Information Collected: Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google, may collect information such as your device's Advertising ID (Ad ID), device information (e.g., device model, operating system version), IP address, and app usage information (e.g., app launch times, ad impressions, clicks). This data is typically non-personally identifiable and is used to display relevant advertisements, measure ad performance, and prevent ad fraud.
Purpose: To provide and optimize advertising within the App.
Privacy Policy: For more information on how Google AdMob handles data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
b. Google Play Billing (for In-App Purchase Services)
Information Collected: When you make an in-app purchase (e.g., to remove ads), the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. The App itself does not collect your financial information. Instead, Google Play handles your payment details directly. The App receives only minimal information necessary to confirm your purchase, such as a non-personally identifiable purchase token or order ID.
Purpose: To facilitate and manage in-app purchases, including the ad removal feature.
Privacy Policy: For details on how Google Play handles your data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
c. No Direct Personal Information Collection by the App: * The App itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information that can directly identify you. This includes information such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location data. * Any data processed by the App that is not handled by the integrated third-party services is either stored locally on your device (e.g., app settings, game progress) or is non-personally identifiable and solely used for the App's internal functioning.
2. How Information is Used
The information handled by the integrated third-party services is used for the following purposes:
Google AdMob: To display advertisements, measure their effectiveness, and prevent invalid ad activity.
Google Play Billing: To process and manage your in-app purchases, confirm entitlements (e.g., ad removal), and provide related customer support.
3. Data Retention
Information collected by third-party services is retained according to their respective privacy policies. For instance, Advertising IDs can generally be reset by the user and may expire after a certain period (e.g., 18 months), as per Google's policies. Purchase records handled by Google Play Billing are retained as necessary for transaction verification, refunds, and compliance with financial regulations.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not share any personal information directly collected by the App, as the App does not engage in such collection. Information handled by the integrated third-party services (Google AdMob, Google Play Billing) is shared with Google as their service provider to enable their functionalities. These third parties are bound by their own privacy policies and terms of service.
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
5. Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights regarding your information, subject to applicable laws:
Advertising ID Control: You can reset or delete your device's Advertising ID through your device settings. On Android, this is typically found under: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.
Opt-out of Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized advertisements by adjusting your device's ad settings.
App Uninstallation: You can stop all information collection by the App by uninstalling it from your device.
6. Data Security
While the App itself does not collect personal information, we strive to maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your device and app data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Third-party services like Google AdMob and Google Play Billing are responsible for the security of the data they collect and process, as outlined in their respective privacy policies.
