Lite Browser Privacy Policy
App Name: Lite Browser
App Package Name: com.litebrowserxx.fast
This Privacy Policy governs your use of the Lite Browser (the "App"), a pure Android front-end mobile web browsing application (with no back-end/server) developed by [meiduolacnb] (the "Developer", "we", "us" or "our"). This Policy fully complies with Google Play Developer Program Policies, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable global data protection laws. It clearly explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal and non-personal data when you use the App—including data related to the integration of AdMob advertising services—and outlines your rights regarding your data.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must immediately stop downloading, installing, or using the App.
1. Key App Characteristics & Data Collection Principles
The App is a pure Android front-end application with no back-end servers. This means all data generated or collected by the App is stored locally on your Android device only; we do not transmit, upload, or store any of your data on external servers, cloud services, or third-party databases (except for data automatically processed by AdMob as required for advertising functionality, which is governed by Google’s privacy policies).
We adhere to the "minimum necessary" principle for data collection—we only collect data essential for the App’s core browsing functionality and the proper operation of AdMob advertising services. We do not collect or access sensitive data unnecessarily, and all data collection (where required by law) is based on your explicit consent. We never sell, rent, lease, or otherwise monetize your personal data under any circumstances.
2. Data We Collect
All data collected by the App falls into two categories: data collected by the App itself (stored locally) and data collected by AdMob (processed by Google). We do not collect any additional data beyond what is described below.
2.1 Data Collected by the App (Local Storage Only)
This data is collected solely to provide and optimize the core browsing experience, and is stored locally on your device—we have no access to this data, and it is never transmitted to any external servers.
2.1.1 Non-Personal Data (Automatically Collected)
This data does not identify you individually and is used only to improve the App’s performance and user experience:
- Device & Technical Data: Device model, Android operating system version, screen resolution, network type (Wi-Fi/cellular), App version, and crash logs (if the App malfunctions). This data is used to diagnose bugs, fix technical issues, and ensure compatibility with different Android devices.
- Browsing Usage Data: Aggregated, non-identifiable data about your browsing behavior within the App (e.g., number of tabs opened, average page load times, frequency of using bookmark features). This data is used solely to optimize the App’s speed and functionality.
- Temporary Technical Data: IP address (temporarily collected to connect to web servers and load web pages) and browser cache (stored locally to speed up repeated visits to the same websites). The IP address is not stored long-term and is discarded once the browsing session ends; the browser cache can be cleared by you at any time via the App’s settings.
2.1.2 Personal Data (Collected Only with Your Explicit Consent)
We collect personal data only if you choose to provide it voluntarily, and for the specific purpose you authorize. This data is stored locally on your device and is never accessed by us or transmitted externally:
- Bookmarks & Saved Pages: Website URLs, notes, or other content you voluntarily save to the App. This data is used to help you quickly access your favorite websites.
- Search & Browsing History: Stored locally on your device by default (you can disable this feature via the App’s settings). If disabled, no browsing history is collected or stored.
- Personalized Settings: Theme preferences, font size, default search engine, and other custom settings you choose. These settings are stored locally to provide a consistent browsing experience.
2.2 Data Collected by AdMob (Third-Party Advertising Service)
The App integrates Google AdMob advertising services to support the App’s free availability. AdMob (owned by Google) may collect certain data to display relevant ads and measure ad performance. This data collection is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and AdMob Policies (https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543), not by this Policy.
As required by Google Play and AdMob policies, we disclose that AdMob may collect the following data (we do not have access to this data, and it is processed solely by Google) [5]:
- Android Advertising ID (AAID): A unique identifier associated with your device, used by AdMob to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and to measure ad impressions and clicks. If your device targets Android 13 or higher, the App (via AdMob SDK 20.4.0+) will automatically declare the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission as required by Google policy .
- Device & Network Data: Device model, operating system version, network type, and App version (similar to the data collected by the App), used by AdMob to ensure ads are displayed correctly on your device.
- Ad Interaction Data: Whether you click on or view ads displayed in the App, used by AdMob to measure ad performance and optimize ad delivery.
You can control AdMob’s data collection and ad personalization by adjusting your device settings: Go to Settings > Google > Ads to opt out of personalized advertising or reset your AAID. For more details on how Google processes data collected by AdMob, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.
2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect
In compliance with Google Play’s restricted permissions policy and our minimum data collection principle, we never collect the following sensitive data :
- Biometric data (e.g., fingerprint, face ID)
- Location data (unless explicitly requested by a web page you visit, and only shared with that page—we do not collect or access location data)
- Contact lists, call logs, SMS/MMS data, or device storage content (except for locally stored browsing data you choose to save)
- Financial information, health data, or personal identifiers (other than the optional data you voluntarily provide for browsing personalization)
- Any data for the purpose of tracking you across other apps or websites
3. Purpose of Data Collection
All data collected by the App (locally) and AdMob is used exclusively for the following purposes, as promoted in the Google Play Store listing :
- To provide and maintain the basic web browsing experience (e.g., loading web pages, rendering content, saving bookmarks, and remembering your browsing history).
- To optimize the App’s performance and user experience (using aggregated non-personal data to fix bugs, improve speed, and enhance compatibility).
- To display non-intrusive ads via AdMob (to support the App’s free availability) and measure ad performance (processed solely by Google).
- To allow you to personalize your browsing experience (e.g., saving bookmarks, customizing settings).
We never use your data for personalized advertising (this is handled solely by AdMob, and you can opt out via your device settings), and we do not use your data for any purpose other than those listed above.
4. Data Storage & Security
We take rigorous measures to protect your data, in line with global data protection standards and Google Play requirements. Given that the App is a pure front-end application with no servers, your data security is primarily controlled by your device’s security settings .
4.1 Local Data Storage (App-Collected Data)
- All data collected by the App (bookmarks, browsing history, settings, etc.) is stored locally on your Android device only. We have no access to this data, and it is never transmitted to any external servers, cloud services, or third parties (other than AdMob’s independent data processing).
- Data Retention: We retain your local data only for as long as necessary to provide the service you request. You can delete your local data at any time via the App’s settings (e.g., clear browsing history, delete bookmarks). If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data will be permanently deleted from your device.
4.2 AdMob Data Storage (Third-Party)
Data collected by AdMob is stored and processed by Google in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy and security standards. We have no control over how Google stores or secures this data. For more details, please review Google’s data security practices.
4.3 Security Measures
To protect your locally stored data, we recommend that you:
- Set a screen lock (PIN, password, fingerprint) on your Android device to prevent unauthorized access.
- Keep your device’s operating system and the App updated to the latest version to fix potential security vulnerabilities.
- Avoid sharing your device with others if you have sensitive browsing data stored in the App.
While we take reasonable steps to ensure the App’s security, please note that no method of data storage or transmission is 100% secure. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your locally stored data caused by device theft, loss, or user negligence.
5. Data Sharing & Disclosure
Given that the App is a pure front-end application with no servers, we do not share, sell, transfer, or disclose any of your locally stored data to third parties—except in the limited circumstances below, which comply with Google Play and AdMob policies :
5.1 AdMob (Third-Party Advertising Partner)
As mentioned in Section 2.2, AdMob (owned by Google) may collect and process certain device and ad interaction data to display relevant ads and measure ad performance. This data sharing is required for the App to integrate AdMob advertising services, and it is governed by Google’s policies, not by this Policy. We do not share any of your personal data (e.g., bookmarks, browsing history) with AdMob or Google.
5.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your data only if required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request (e.g., court order, subpoena). In such cases, we will disclose the minimum amount of data necessary to comply with the request. However, since all data is stored locally on your device, we may not be able to access or disclose it unless you voluntarily provide access to your device.
5.3 Third-Party Web Pages
When you visit a web page using the App, the web page may collect your data (e.g., IP address, cookies) in accordance with its own privacy policy. We have no control over the data collection practices of third-party web pages and are not responsible for their privacy policies or data handling.
5.4 Mergers, Acquisitions, or Asset Transfers
If the Developer is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, we will notify you via a prominent notice in the App or via email (if you have provided an email address) before your data is transferred. However, since all data is stored locally on your device, the transfer will not involve any transmission of your data to a third party—your data will remain on your device.
6. Your Rights Regarding Your Data
Under applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you have the following rights regarding your data. Since all App-collected data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly via your device or the App’s settings :
- Right to Access: You can access all your locally stored data (bookmarks, browsing history, settings) at any time via the App’s settings menu.
- Right to Correct: You can edit or correct your personal data (e.g., bookmarks, notes) directly within the App.
- Right to Delete: You can delete your locally stored data (clear browsing history, delete bookmarks, reset settings) at any time via the App’s settings. Uninstalling the App will permanently delete all App-related data from your device.
- Right to Opt Out of Ad Personalization: You can opt out of AdMob’s personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of personalized ads.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: If you previously consented to the collection of certain data (e.g., browsing history), you can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the relevant feature in the App’s settings. This will stop further collection of that data, but will not affect data collected before you withdrew consent (which you can delete manually).
If you have any questions about exercising these rights, or if you need assistance, please contact us via the contact information provided in Section 8.
7. Children’s Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that data from the child’s device immediately.
In compliance with Google’s policies for child-directed apps, if the App is designated as child-directed, we will not collect AAID or use AdMob for personalized advertising, and all ads displayed will be non-personalized and age-appropriate . Parents or guardians who believe their child has used the App and provided personal data can contact us to request the deletion of that data.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to comply with changes in Google Play policies, applicable laws, or changes to the App’s features (e.g., updates to AdMob integration). When we make significant changes, we will notify you by: (1) displaying a prominent notice within the App when you open it, or (2) sending you a notification (if you have enabled App notifications).
The updated Privacy Policy will take effect immediately upon notification. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Your continued use of the App after the updated Policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
