Privacy Policy — Micro Center
Your privacy comes first
No account. No sign-in. No personal information is collected by Micro Center from you as an app user.
Favorites, recently viewed products, search activity you manage in the app, and app preferences are stored locally on your device. This page explains exactly what the app does and does not do with your data, including how Google AdMob advertising works in the app.
1. Our Commitment to Privacy
Micro Center is built to help you browse electronics, computers, laptops, PC components, gaming accessories, monitors, storage, networking products, printers, and related categories — including search, filters, sorting, product details, deals, favorites, recently viewed items, and theme settings — with a smooth experience. We designed this app so you can use these features without creating an account, without signing in, and without sharing your personal contact details with us. Protecting your privacy is a core principle of this product.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following from you as an app user:
Your name
Your phone number
Your email address
Your home or mailing address
Your date of birth
Government identifiers (SSN, ID numbers, etc.)
Photos, contacts, or camera data
Precise GPS location
Payment card numbers, banking credentials, or checkout identity data
No sign-up, login, OTP verification, email verification, social login, or registration is ever required to use the app.
3. Information Stored On Your Device
To support your product discovery experience, Micro Center stores the following locally on your device only:
Favorite / saved products
Recently viewed products
Search terms and filter or sort preferences you apply while browsing
App settings (such as dark/light theme preference)
Sample product catalog content, deals, and category listings shown in the app are packaged with the app or loaded as display content. Your favorites, recently viewed items, searches, and preferences are not uploaded to our servers and are not linked to your identity as an app user. Data you manage in the app remains on your device — we do not receive it as personal user profile data.
4. Local, On-Device Processing
Micro Center is designed for local processing. Core features — including home browsing, categories, product details, search and filters, deals, favorites, recently viewed items, and settings — run on your device using locally managed state and preferences.
Your favorites, recently viewed products, searches, and preferences are not sent to our servers for storage or processing. You can browse the catalog experience without signing in.
An internet connection is needed for loading product images, displaying advertisements through Google AdMob (see Section 6), and if you choose to open external links such as product pages, share sheets, support email, or help resources.
5. Data Display and Sharing
All products, deals, ratings, prices, and preference screens displayed in the app are read from on-device catalog content and local app state. If you share a product or information through your device’s standard share options, that sharing is handled by your device and the app you choose — we do not receive copies of shared content unless you explicitly send it to us (for example, by email).
You are responsible for keeping any exported or shared information secure.
6. Advertising
Micro Center displays advertisements through Google AdMob to help keep the app free to use. Ad formats may include banner ads and full-screen interstitial ads shown when you navigate between sections (for example, when opening a product page).
Google and its advertising partners may collect and use information such as your device’s advertising ID, approximate location (derived from IP address), app interactions with ads, and technical device data to deliver, measure, and improve ads. This data is handled according to Google’s policies, not stored by us as a personal user profile.
You can limit ad personalization on your device through:
Android Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
7. Third-Party Services
Core app features run on your device. The app does not send your favorites, recently viewed products, searches, or preferences to external conversion or cloud account services.
Google AdMob is used to serve advertisements. Image hosts or CDNs may be used to display product photos when you are online. When you tap “Visit Website” / “View Product,” or use optional actions such as sharing or sending email to support, those actions are handled by your system browser, share sheet, or email app — not by Micro Center collecting additional personal data from you. Third-party websites you open have their own privacy policies.
8. Cookies and Tracking
The app itself does not use browser cookies. We do not operate our own analytics or cross-app tracking services within Micro Center.
Advertising partners (such as Google AdMob) may use identifiers permitted by your device and Android settings to measure ad performance. We do not build personal profiles about you based on your in-app browsing activity beyond what is required for ad delivery through AdMob.
9. Network and Permissions
The app requests only the permissions it needs to function:
Internet access — required for loading product images and displaying advertisements through Google AdMob
Network state — used to check connectivity for image and ad loading
Advertising ID — used by Google AdMob for ad delivery and measurement on supported devices
We do not request access to contacts, camera, calendar, SMS, microphone, biometric authentication, or precise location. There is no sign-in or account permission prompt when you open the app.
Your locally stored favorites, recently viewed products, searches, and preferences remain on your device during normal app use.
10. Data Security
Because we do not collect personal information or account credentials from you as an app user, there is no personal login profile that can be compromised on our servers. Your favorites, recently viewed products, searches, and preferences remain on your device unless you explicitly share content outside the app.
You can clear all locally stored app data at any time through your device settings.
11. Children’s Privacy
This app is intended as an electronics product discovery utility. It is designed so that personal information is not required from children or adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
Product names, prices, deals, and specifications in the sample catalog are for discovery and information within the app experience.
12. Your Choices and Rights
Because we do not collect identifying information about you as an app user, there is no personal account or profile to delete on our side. You can fully reset your app data at any time by uninstalling the app or clearing app storage:
Settings → Apps → Micro Center → Storage → Clear storage
Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored favorites, recently viewed products, searches, and app preferences from the app’s private storage area.
13. Product Discovery Disclaimer
Micro Center provides a product discovery and browsing experience. Product names, prices, promotions, availability, and specifications shown in the app may be sample or illustrative content for demonstration. The app does not process real payments, place orders, or complete live retail checkout.
Always verify real-world product, pricing, and availability on the original product page when you open an external link.
14. Changes to This Policy
If this policy is updated, the revised version will be available within the app on this screen. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
