Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
Service refers to the Application.
Service Provider means any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Company, including third-party companies employed to facilitate the Service, to provide the Service on behalf of the Company, to perform services related to the Service, or to assist the Company in analyzing how the Service is used.
Usage Data refers to data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a screen visit).
You means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the company or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Service, as applicable.
Origami: Paper Folding & Craft does not require an account, and We do not ask You for Your name, email address, phone number or postal address.
Usage Data
Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service. It may include Your Device's IP address, device model, operating system and version, language, the screens of the Application You visit, the origami models You open, the features You use, the time and date of Your use, the time spent on those screens, crash and diagnostic data, and unique device identifiers.
Advertising Identifiers
The Application shows advertisements. Our advertising partners may collect Your device's advertising ID (Google Advertising ID), coarse location derived from the IP address, and information about the ads shown and Your interactions with them. Where the law requires it, this happens only after You give consent (see "Your Consent Choices" below).
Tutorial Videos
Folding instructions (photos and step tips) are built into the Application. Tutorial videos are streamed from Our content delivery provider when You play them and are cached on Your Device so they can be replayed without downloading again. When a video is requested, the provider receives standard connection data such as Your IP address and the requested file.
App Install Notifications
For some users, the Application may show a notification when another app is installed, updated or removed on Your Device. To display it, the Application reads that app's name and icon on Your Device only. This information is not uploaded to Our servers or shared with third parties.
Data Stored on Your Device
Your app settings (music, sound effects, vibration), selected language, favorite models in My Collection and cached tutorial videos are stored locally on Your Device and are deleted when You uninstall the Application.

On first launch in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other regions where required, the App asks for Your consent to personalized ads through Google's consent form. You can also reset or delete Your advertising ID in Your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads).
The Company may use Your data for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain the Service, including to monitor the usage of the Service.
To show advertising that keeps the App free, and to measure how ads perform.
To contact You through notifications about reminders, new models or updates related to the App. You can turn notifications off at any time.
For business transfers: to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Our assets.
For other purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of Our promotional campaigns, and improving the Service.
We may share Your information in the following situations:
With Service Providers listed in Third-Party Services, to operate, monitor and analyze the Service.
For business transfers, in connection with any merger, sale of Company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or part of Our business.

With Your consent, for any other purpose.
We do not sell Your personal information.
The Company retains data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements.
Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when it is used to strengthen security or improve the Service, or when We are legally obligated to keep it longer. Retention by Google services follows their own settings (for example, Firebase Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months).
Your information is processed at the Company's operating offices and wherever the parties involved in the processing are located. This means it may be transferred to and kept on computers outside Your state, province or country, where data protection laws may differ.
The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and no transfer will take place to an organization or a country unless adequate controls are in place.
You have the right to delete, or request that We help delete, the data We have collected about You.
Uninstalling the App deletes all data stored on Your Device, including cached videos and your collection.
You can reset Your advertising ID in Your device settings.
You can email Us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of Your data. We will answer within 30 days.
We may need to retain certain information when We have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.
Business transactions. If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your data may be transferred. We will give notice before it becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
Law enforcement. The Company may be required to disclose Your data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (for example, a court or a government agency).
Other legal requirements. The Company may disclose Your data in the good-faith belief that it is necessary to:
Comply with a legal obligation
Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
Protect against legal liability
The security of Your data is important to Us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We use commercially acceptable means to protect Your data, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to all of Our Service Providers, but We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
The Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You know that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We learn that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under 13 without verified parental consent, We take steps to remove it.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
Origami and kirigami involve paper and, for kirigami, scissors or craft knives. Children should use sharp tools only under adult supervision.
The Service may contain links to websites or ads that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third-party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes, We will also show a notice in the App before the change becomes effective.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
