Privacy Policy for Ethiopian Piano
Effective Date: July 25, 2025
Welcome to Ethiopian Piano ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing a free and engaging experience. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our mobile application.
This version of the policy has been updated to include information regarding our use of third-party advertising services.
1. Information We Collect
Our philosophy is to collect as little information as possible.
a) Personal Information You Provide
We do not require you to create an account or provide any directly identifying personal information to use our App. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or other similar contact information.
b) Information Collected Automatically for Advertising
To support our App and keep it free, we partner with third-party advertising networks, specifically Google AdMob. When you use the App, these partners may automatically collect certain information from your device. This may include:
Device Identifiers: Such as your device's Advertising ID (IDFA for iOS, AAID for Android).
Device Information: Including your device model, operating system, and language settings.
IP Address: Which may be used to estimate your general geographical location.
Ad-Related Information: Information about the ads you are shown, such as how you interact with them (e.g., clicks, views) and whether you install an advertised app.
2. How We Use Information
Since we do not collect personal information directly, our use of data is limited. The information collected automatically by our advertising partners is used for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain Our Service: To deliver the core functionality of the piano learning app.
To Serve Advertisements: To display advertisements within the App, which helps us cover the costs of development and maintenance. This includes serving both personalized (interest-based) and non-personalized ads.
To Improve Advertising Services: To measure the effectiveness of ads, prevent fraud, and improve the relevance of the ads you see.
3. Third-Party Data Collection (Google AdMob)
We use Google AdMob as our third-party advertising provider. Google may use the data collected to personalize the advertisements you see. We do not share any personal information from our app with Google, as we do not collect any. However, AdMob's technology collects data directly from your device as described in Section 1(b).
We encourage you to review Google's own policies to understand how they use your data:
Google's Privacy & Terms: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
4. Your Choices and Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising
You have control over the use of your information for personalized advertising. You can opt out of interest-based ads by adjusting the settings on your mobile device.
For iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Here you can disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track" for all apps or manage tracking on a per-app basis.
For Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads. Here you can "Delete advertising ID" which will remove personalization across apps.
Please note that if you opt out, you will still see advertisements, but they may not be as relevant to your interests.
5. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.
As the app developer, we will configure our AdMob settings to ensure that ad content is appropriate and to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other relevant regulations.
6. Links to Other Sites
The "Our Other Apps" section and advertisements within the App may contain links to other sites or app store listings that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
7. Changes to This Privacy 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 within the app. Changes are effective when they are posted. Your continued use of the App after we post any modifications will constitute your acknowledgment and consent to the new policy.
