This Privacy Policy explains how the mobile application Pinch Shot (“Application”, “App”), developed by MDV Games (“we”, “us”, “our”), handles user information.
The Application is provided as an Ad Supported service and is intended for use AS IS.
We respect your privacy and provide full transparency regarding data handling within the Application.
The Application itself does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information.
We do not request or collect:
names
email addresses
phone numbers
personal identifiers
payment or billing information
precise geolocation
user accounts or login data
We maintain no backend servers, and no personal information is stored by us.
The Application requires camera access solely to enable real-time hand tracking functionality.
Camera usage details:
No photos or videos are captured
No image frames are stored
No camera data is transmitted off the device
All processing happens locally and only for gesture recognition
Camera access is not used for recording, surveillance, or identification purposes
The Application uses Google MediaPipe for real-time hand tracking.
MediaPipe processes camera frames locally on the device to detect hand landmarks and gestures. Important details:
MediaPipe does not capture, store, or transmit camera images
No biometric identification or face/hand recognition for identity purposes is performed
No images or video frames leave the device
All processing takes place in real time and remains entirely on the user’s device
The Application does not use MediaPipe to create or store biometric templates or to identify users.
The Application does not collect data directly. However, integrated third-party SDKs may process certain device information.
Google AdMob may automatically collect:
Advertising ID
IP address
Device model, manufacturer, OS version
App interaction data
Approximate location (region, not GPS)
Ad interaction and performance data
AdMob may use this information for:
personalized and contextual advertising
analytics
fraud detection
limiting ad frequency
Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Users may disable personalized advertising through their device settings or Google ad settings.
The Application uses:
Camera input only for gesture recognition
No analytics tools
No user profiling
No data storage
Third parties (AdMob, Google Play Services) may use technical data solely for:
delivering ads
measuring metrics
ensuring service integrity
We do not access or control this information.
The Application integrates:
Google Play Services
Google AdMob
These services operate under their own Privacy Policies, and their data practices are independent from MDV Games.
The Application retains no data.
Retention of data collected by Google is determined by Google’s internal policies and may vary by region.
Since we do not collect personal data, the Application does not share any information with third parties.
Any sharing performed by Google and AdMob is covered by their own policies.
The Application is not specifically directed to children.
We do not knowingly collect data from children.
If a child interacts with ads, data handled by Google will follow Google’s policies for child protection.
Although we do not store data, the Application follows security best practices:
Camera data is processed locally
No external servers are used
Only trusted and verified SDKs are integrated
No personal data files are created or transmitted
Google provides its own security for AdMob and Google Play Services.

Right to withdraw consent (e.g., disable personalized ads)
