This Privacy Policy explains how Runze Liu ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use Hi Light – Scrolling Text Banner (the "App").
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.
Hi Light does not require an account and does not operate a cloud service for your banner projects.
Banner text, project names, styles, app settings, and the locally cached Pro entitlement are stored on your device. We do not receive the contents of your banners.
The free version may display Google ads. Google's advertising and consent SDKs may collect or receive device, usage, diagnostic, identifier, IP-address, and approximate-location information as described below.
The App communicates with Apple App Store or Google Play to offer and restore the one-time Hi Light Pro purchase.
Fonts may be downloaded from Google when they are not already available locally.
Exported GIF or MP4 files leave the App only when you choose to save or share them.
The App may store the following information on your device:
banner text, project names, playlists, formatting, colors, effects, playback settings, and modification dates;
language and appearance preferences;
a local record indicating whether Pro features have been unlocked; and
temporary GIF or MP4 files created during export.
This information is used only to provide the App's editing, playback, project, preference, entitlement, and export features. It is not uploaded to us. Temporary export files are deleted after sharing, cancellation, or when they are no longer needed by the export flow. Files that you save to your photo library or another location remain there until you delete them.
You can delete individual saved projects in the App. You can delete the App's remaining local data by uninstalling the App or clearing its storage through your operating system, subject to any device backups you control.
The free version may use Google Mobile Ads and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request consent where required and to display banner advertising. Depending on your region, device settings, consent choices, and Google's configuration, Google and its advertising partners may automatically collect or receive:
IP address, which may be used to estimate general location;
app interactions, such as app launches, ad impressions, views, and taps;
diagnostic information, such as crash, performance, and SDK activity information; and
device or account identifiers, including an advertising identifier where available and permitted.
These data may be used to provide, measure, limit, personalize, and protect advertising; perform analytics; prevent fraud and abuse; and comply with law. Hi Light does not send your banner text or project names to the advertising SDK. Ads are intended only for the free version. After the App confirms an active Pro entitlement, it stops loading and displaying ads.
Where a consent message is available, you can make the choices presented there. You can also limit or reset advertising identifiers in your device settings. Google's handling of information is governed by its own policies, including How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
If you view, buy, or restore Hi Light Pro, the App communicates with Apple App Store or Google Play. The store processes your payment and may provide the App with product, transaction, purchase-status, and entitlement information needed to complete the purchase and unlock or restore Pro. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
Your purchase is also subject to the privacy policy of the applicable store: the Apple Privacy Policy or the Google Privacy Policy.
The App uses Google Fonts. If a selected font is not bundled or cached on your device, the App may request the font from Google's servers. Google may receive ordinary network request information such as your IP address, device or app request details, and the requested font. Google handles this information under the Google Privacy Policy.
When you choose to save an exported banner, the App requests permission to add the GIF or MP4 to your photo or media library. The App does not read your existing photo library for this feature.
When you choose Share, your operating system displays a share sheet. The exported file and accompanying share text are transferred only to the person, app, or service you select. That recipient's privacy practices then apply. We do not receive a copy.
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, device and app details, error description, and message contents. Please do not send banner content, passwords, complete purchase receipts, or payment-card information. We use support communications to answer your request, troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, and maintain appropriate business records.
We do not sell your banner content or other personal information. Information may be disclosed only:
to Google for ads, consent management, and font delivery as described above;
to Apple or Google for purchases and store services;
to a destination you select through the system share sheet;
to service providers that help us respond to support requests, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations;
when required by law, legal process, or a valid government request; or
when reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce our terms, investigate fraud or security issues, or protect rights and safety.
Third parties that receive information through App-integrated services are expected to protect it in accordance with their own published policies and applicable law.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, processing may be based on:
performance of a contract, such as providing Pro features and purchase restoration;
your consent, such as certain advertising processing or saving media to your library;
our legitimate interests, such as providing support, securing the App, and preventing fraud, where those interests are not overridden by your rights; or
compliance with legal obligations.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to withdraw consent. Most App content is held only on your device and is not accessible to us. For information handled by an app store or Google, use that provider's privacy controls or contact that provider directly. To make a request concerning information we hold, email us at the address in Section 10. We may need to verify your request and may retain information when legally required.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may also complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are elsewhere, additional local rights may apply.
Device-local projects and settings remain until you delete them, clear the App's storage, or uninstall the App.
Export working files are kept only as long as reasonably needed to create, save, share, or clean up an export. Saved or shared copies are controlled by you and the selected destination.
Purchase records are retained by Apple or Google under their policies. The App keeps a local entitlement flag until the purchase is revoked, App storage is cleared, or the App is uninstalled.
Support correspondence is generally retained only as long as needed to resolve the request, protect against abuse, satisfy legal obligations, and maintain reasonable business records.
Google and its partners determine retention for information they process under their policies and your consent choices.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the App. Information transmitted to third-party services is protected in transit using the security provided by the operating system and those services. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Google, Apple, app stores, email providers, and other selected services may process information in countries other than yours. Their policies describe the safeguards they use for international transfers.
Hi Light is a general-audience utility and is not specifically directed to children under 13 or the minimum age required by local law to consent to data processing. We do not knowingly ask children to create accounts or submit personal information to us. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent personal information to us may contact us to request deletion.
Parents and guardians should supervise a child's use of advertising-supported features and use the consent and device controls available in their region. If local law requires parental consent for advertising-related processing, the App and its providers should not use that processing without the required permission.
Ads, the system share sheet, and store interfaces may open third-party apps or websites. We do not control their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.
We may update this policy to reflect changes to the App, providers, or law. We will revise the "Last updated" date and, when required, provide additional notice or request consent. Material changes apply prospectively unless law permits otherwise.
