Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 29, 2025

OmniSeek (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how OmniSeek handles your information. Our guiding principle is simple: we do not collect or store any personally identifiable information from our users. Any data used within the App is limited to what is essential for functionality, user experience, or third-party services such as advertising and analytics.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

OmniSeek does not directly collect, store, or transmit any personal information, such as:

Name
Email address
Contacts
Exact location
Personally identifiable data from your device

All your search queries, custom shortcuts, and app interactions remain on your device and are never sent to any server controlled by OmniSeek.

2. Information Collected by Third-Party Services

OmniSeek integrates trusted third-party services that may collect non-personal data necessary for advertising, crash reporting, and usage analytics. These services operate under their own privacy policies.

a. Google AdMob (Ads)

OmniSeek displays banner ads on the main screen using Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:

Advertising ID (AD_ID): A resettable device identifier
Device data: Model, OS version, screen size
IP address: For approximate location (e.g., country/region)
Ad interaction data

These details are used for:

Ad personalization (unless the user opts out)
Performance measurement
Fraud prevention

For more information, refer to:

You can opt out of personalized ads by resetting your Advertising ID and adjusting ad preferences in your device settings.

b. Google Firebase (Analytics and Crash Reporting & Performance Monitoring)

We use Firebase for:

Crash reporting: Helps us identify and fix bugs
Anonymous usage analytics: Session duration, feature interactions, etc.
Performance monitoring: App performance metrics and stability monitoring

Firebase does not collect personal identifiers through OmniSeek. Data is used solely to improve app performance and stability.

3. Search Query Handling

OmniSeek’s search functionality works as a conduit between the user and the selected platform:

Search queries are never stored or analyzed by OmniSeek.
When using platforms like Google, YouTube, or Yahoo, the query is passed directly to the respective third-party provider.
Any data shared in these cases is subject to the privacy policy of the destination platform (e.g., Google Search, Spotify, Amazon).

4. Permissions Used

OmniSeek uses the following permissions for core functionality:

Permission Purpose

INTERNET To access search platforms, open links, and display ads

AD_ID To allow AdMob to serve personalized or contextual ads

Optional access to Location Used by AdMob for location-based ad relevance (approximate location only, not collected by OmniSeek)

We do not request access to contacts, camera, microphone, or storage outside system integrations (e.g., Google Lens handles image/QR recognition independently).

5. Advertising Disclosure

Ads are served through Google AdMob and shown via a native banner on the Main Screen. These may be:

Personalized, if permitted by the user
Or contextual, based on general app usage or device signals

OmniSeek does not have access to or control over the data used by AdMob to personalize ads. Users may disable ad personalization via device settings.

6. Google Lens Integration

OmniSeek includes integration with Google Lens to enhance user experience via:

Image-based search
Text translation and recognition
QR code scanning

These features open the official Google Lens app (if installed) or direct the user to the Play Store for installation. OmniSeek does not handle or collect data during this process.

7. Children’s Privacy

OmniSeek is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from minors. AdMob automatically disables interest-based advertising for users under 13, based on device signals.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify users via:

An in-app notification
An updated version of this page

We recommend checking this Privacy Policy periodically.

9. data Retention and Deletion

- OmniSeek does not retain any user data on our servers

- Third-party services (Google AdMob, Firebase) retain data according to their respective privacy policies

- Users can reset advertising identifiers through device settings to limit ad tracking

- Crash reports and analytics data in Firebase are retained according to Google's data retention policies

10. Third party services

Our app provides links to third-party websites and services such as search engines, video platforms, and AI tools. We do not claim ownership of or any affiliation with these services. All trademarks, service marks, and logos are the property of their respective owners.
