Here is the updated Privacy Policy for Duemate. I have expanded the "Required App Permissions" section to clearly explain why your app requests the Advertising ID, Notifications, Vibration, and Boot/Restart permissions, which is strictly required by Google Play policies.

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 13, 2026

Inspire Craft, developed by Anurag Goel, built the Duemate app as an ad-supported application. This service is provided by Inspire Craft at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform users regarding our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information if anyone decides to use the Duemate application.

1. Information Collection and Use

The core features and functionality of Duemate operate completely offline. We do not directly collect, save, transmit, or store any personal data, files, or usage history on external servers. Any data generated or saved within the core application remains locally on your device.

2. Third-Party Services and Advertising

While the main application works offline, Duemate uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. In order to serve these ads, the app requires internet access.

The Google AdMob SDK may automatically collect and use certain data to provide relevant advertisements and measure ad performance. The information collected by AdMob may include:

• Your device's IP Address

• Device configuration and hardware model

• Mobile operating system version

• Google Advertising ID (AD_ID)

• Crash logs and ad interaction metrics

This data is collected directly by Google and is subject to their own privacy policies. We do not have access to, nor do we store, this data on our end.

• Link to Google’s Privacy Policy

3. Required App Permissions

To facilitate the third-party advertising SDK and core app features, Duemate requests the following device permissions. We only use these permissions for the specific purposes listed below:

• Network/Internet Access (android.permission.INTERNET): Used strictly by the Google AdMob SDK to fetch and display banner or interstitial advertisements when your device is connected to the internet.

• Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID): Required by Google Play Services and AdMob to serve personalized advertisements and track ad performance. You can reset or opt out of personalized ads in your Android device settings.

• Notifications (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Allows the app to send you local reminders, alerts, or updates related to the app's functionality directly to your device's notification tray.

• Vibration Control (android.permission.VIBRATE): Used to provide haptic feedback (vibrations) when interacting with the app or when a notification is triggered.

• Run at Startup (android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): Allows the app to automatically reschedule your local notifications or alarms immediately after you reboot or restart your phone, ensuring you do not miss any alerts.

4. Security

We value your trust in providing us with your personal information. Because Duemate is designed as an offline application, your personal app usage data never leaves your device through our software. However, remember that no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet (regarding third-party ad networks) is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Links to Other Sites

The advertisements served within Duemate may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party ad or link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by Inspire Craft. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

6. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take the necessary actions.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
