Effective Date: June 12, 2025
Welcome to MojiVerse! Your privacy is incredibly important to us, especially when it comes to your creative expressions. This Privacy Policy is designed to transparently explain how the MojiVerse mobile application (the "App") handles, collects, uses, and protects your information. By installing, accessing, or using the App, you understand and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Our Commitment to Your Creative and Data Privacy
At MojiVerse, we understand that the emojis and stickers you create are personal expressions. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and creative work through the following core principles:
Your Creations Stay on Your Device: When you create, edit, or customize emojis, stickers, or any other content within MojiVerse, this process occurs entirely locally on your device. This means your unique creations, any photos used in their making, or text added to them, are not uploaded, stored, or processed on our servers or any third-party servers.
No Sharing or Selling of Your Creative Content: We unequivocally state that we do not share, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose any of your user-generated content (your custom emojis, stickers, or the raw materials used to create them) to anyone. Your MojiVerse creations are yours alone, residing privately on your device unless you choose to share them using your device's native sharing functions.
Data Collection Minimization: We only collect limited, non-personal information that is strictly necessary to provide and improve the App's functionalities.
Data Security: We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited non-personal information we do collect.
2. Information We Collect
To effectively provide and continuously improve MojiVerse's services, we collect limited types of information.
2.1 Information You May Provide (Optional, Processed Locally)
User-Generated Content: Any emojis, stickers, or customized images you create, modify, or save within MojiVerse. As stated above, this content is processed and stored exclusively on your device and is not collected or stored by us on our servers.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically (Non-Personal)
When you use the MojiVerse App, we automatically collect certain technical and anonymous usage information. This data helps us ensure the App's functionality, stability, and to understand general usage patterns for improvement purposes.
Device Information: We collect data about your device, such as its type, model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID, IDFA), IP address, screen resolution, and language settings. This helps us ensure compatibility and optimize App performance across various devices.
Usage Data: We gather anonymous, aggregated data on how you interact with the App. This includes details like which creative features you use (e.g., opening the editor, applying filters, saving creations), the duration of your sessions, and technical events like crashes or errors. This data helps us identify popular features, understand user behavior patterns, and improve the App's user experience and stability. This data never includes any content from your personal creations or identifies you personally.
Advertising Identifiers: We use standard mobile advertising identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID on Android and IDFA on iOS) to help deliver relevant advertisements within the App. These identifiers are pseudonymous and are used for ad personalization and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
Log Data and Analytics: Our systems may automatically record certain technical information when you use the App, such as your app version and timestamps of your activities. We may also utilize third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase) to gather aggregated, non-personally identifiable data about App usage. This helps us analyze trends and improve the App without linking information to individual users.
2.3 Permissions Required
MojiVerse requires specific permissions on your device to perform its core functions. These permissions are requested by your device's operating system and are necessary for the App to work as intended.
Storage Access (Read/Write External Storage / Photos & Media): This permission is necessary to allow you to save your custom-created emojis and stickers to your device's photo gallery or internal storage. It may also be used to access images from your device if you choose to import them for creating emojis. This access is solely for the purpose of enabling you to save and import content at your explicit instruction. We do not upload or access the content of these files to our servers.
3. How We Use Your Information
The limited non-personal information we collect is primarily used to operate, maintain, and enhance your MojiVerse creative experience.
To Provide App Functionality: To deliver the core emoji and sticker creation, editing, and saving features you expect from MojiVerse.
To Improve the App: By analyzing anonymous usage data, we gain insights into how users interact with the App, helping us to fix bugs, optimize performance, and develop new creative tools and features.
For Analytics and Reporting: To understand overall app usage trends and performance, which guides our development and business decisions.
For Advertising and Monetization: To display relevant advertisements within the App, which helps support the App's development costs and allows us to offer MojiVerse as a free service. Your user-generated content is never used for advertising targeting by us.
For Troubleshooting and Support: To diagnose and resolve technical issues, crashes, or bugs you might encounter, ensuring a stable and reliable app.
4. How We Share Your Information
Your privacy is paramount. We share your information only under very specific and limited circumstances.
With Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers (e.g., for analytics, crash reporting, or cloud hosting of app updates) to assist us in operating and improving the App. These providers are contractually bound to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they perform for us. They do not receive your personal creative content or photos used in creation.
With Advertising Partners: We may share your advertising identifiers and aggregated, anonymized usage data with advertising networks. This enables them to serve personalized ads within the App and helps us measure the success of our advertising efforts. Crucially, your user-generated content or any photos from your device are never shared with advertising partners.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if legally required to do so by applicable law, court order, or governmental request. This also applies if we believe it's necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users, the public, or others.
In Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or a portion of MojiVerse's assets, the limited non-personal information we collect may be transferred as part of that business transaction. We will provide notification of any such change in ownership or information use through a prominent notice within the App or via other appropriate means.
No Sharing of User-Generated Content: We reiterate our firm policy: We do not share, sell, rent, or otherwise distribute your custom-created emojis, stickers, or any content from your device's storage related to your creations with any third party. All creation and saving of your artwork happens locally on your device.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited non-personal information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All user-generated content is primarily secured by your device's own security features. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain the limited non-personal information we collect only for as long as necessary to provide MojiVerse's services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Anonymous and aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes to help us continuously improve our applications. Your custom-created emojis and any related original files are stored on your device and are not retained by us on our servers.
7. Your Choices and Rights
You have control over certain aspects of your information and how it's used within MojiVerse.
Managing Advertising Preferences: You can manage how your advertising identifier is used directly through your device settings. For example, look for options like "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android. Adjusting these settings may reduce the personalization of ads you see in MojiVerse.
Managing App Permissions: You can review and adjust the permissions granted to MojiVerse directly through your device's operating system settings (e.g., "Settings" -> "Apps" -> "MojiVerse" -> "Permissions"). Please note that revoking essential permissions (like storage access for saving creations) may prevent the App from functioning correctly.
Data Access and Deletion: Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to request access to or deletion of certain non-personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please refer to the support section within the MojiVerse App or use the official contact channels provided in the App Store/Google Play listing. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
8. Children's Privacy
MojiVerse is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to remove that information from our systems.
9. International Data Transfers
The limited non-personal information we collect may be processed and stored in countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected according to this Privacy Policy.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
MojiVerse may contain links or integrations with third-party websites or services (such as embedded advertisements or links to other apps) that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the new policy within the App or through other appropriate communication methods (e.g., through app store updates). Your continued use of the App after the new policy's effective date signifies your acceptance of the changes.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through the developer contact information provided in the App Store listing.
Important Note: While this Privacy Policy is designed to be comprehensive and legally sound, it is a general template. It is highly recommended to consult with legal counsel to ensure full compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations relevant to your specific operations and target regions (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, etc.).
