Privacy Policy – Floaty
Version: 1.0.4
Last Updated: September 22, 2026
Floaty (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) is committed to protecting your privacy. The App does not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, photos, contacts, or messages. However, the App uses third-party services, including Google Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob, which may collect certain technical and usage information as described below.
Information We Collect
The App does not directly collect personal information, including but not limited to:
Name
Email address
Phone number
Photos, media, or files
Contacts or messages
The App stores overlay settings and user preferences locally on your device.
Firebase Analytics
The App uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App and to improve its functionality and user experience.
Firebase Analytics may automatically collect certain information, which can include:
App interactions and usage information
App launches and session information
Device model and operating system
Approximate geographic information
An app-instance identifier
Other technical information associated with app usage
This information is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's applicable privacy policies. The App does not directly collect or request your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or messages through Firebase Analytics.
How We Use Information
Locally stored settings are used solely to:
Enable and operate overlay features
Save your selected preferences
Improve your in-app experience
Firebase Analytics information is used to understand app usage, monitor app performance, and improve the App and its features.
Advertising-related information may also be processed through Google AdMob as described below.
Data Storage
Overlay settings and user preferences are stored locally on your device.
Analytics information collected through Firebase Analytics may be transmitted to and stored or processed by Google on its servers in accordance with Google's applicable policies.
Uninstalling the App permanently deletes the locally stored settings and preferences associated with the App from your device. Data previously collected by third-party services such as Firebase Analytics or Google AdMob is subject to their respective data retention policies.
Permissions
The App may request the following permissions:
Overlay Permission (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Required to display overlays on top of other apps.
Notification Permission: Used to provide overlay controls and status information (Android 13+).
These permissions are required for functionality and are not used by the App itself to directly collect personal information.
Advertising
The App may display advertisements using Google AdMob.
Advertising requests are based on whether the user is classified as a child (under 18) or non-child (18 or older). Users make this classification through a simple selection within the App, and the App does not store or transmit the user's actual age.
Users 18 or older receive non-child-directed ads
Users under 18 receive age-appropriate or child-directed ads, in accordance with applicable policies
Google AdMob may collect device-related identifiers and other information necessary for advertising and measurement in accordance with Google's applicable policies.
We do not directly collect, store, or share personal information with advertisers. Ad personalization can be disabled through your device's advertising settings or applicable consent settings.
European User Consent (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)
For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland:
We use Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers and other information to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
You may be asked to provide consent for personalized or non-personalized ads.
Consent can be managed or revoked at any time via available in-app consent settings or your device's advertising settings.
If you decline personalized advertising, applicable non-personalized advertising may be used.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect information:
Overlay settings and preferences remain stored locally on the device.
Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob data may be transmitted to and processed by Google.
No sensitive personal information such as passwords, contacts, or private messages is intentionally collected by the App.
While we strive to protect data, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Children’s Privacy
This App is not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect, use, or share personal information directly from children under 13 years of age.
The App does not request names, email addresses, phone numbers, contacts, photos, or messages.
If a user indicates that they are under the applicable age threshold through the age-selection process, advertising requests are treated as child-directed and appropriate safeguards are applied.
Firebase Analytics and other third-party services may process certain technical or usage information according to their applicable policies.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us via the developer email associated with this App.
Age Confirmation
Before accessing the App, users may be asked to select one of two options to indicate whether they are 18 years or older or under 18.
This selection is used to determine appropriate advertising treatment. The App does not request or store the user's actual date of birth or exact age.
Your Rights
Users have control over local data and permissions. They can:
Uninstall the App to delete locally stored settings.
Revoke App permissions at any time through device settings.
Manage or opt out of ad personalization through applicable device or advertising settings.
Manage applicable advertising consent through the available consent settings.
For information collected by Google Firebase Analytics or Google AdMob, users may also have rights provided by applicable law and Google's policies.
Data Retention
Data is retained only as necessary for the App and its third-party services to function:
Overlay settings and preferences are stored locally until deleted or until the App is uninstalled.
Firebase Analytics data may be retained by Google according to its applicable data retention policies.
Advertising-related data may be retained by Google according to its applicable policies.
Locally stored App data is automatically deleted when the App is uninstalled.
Acceptable Use
Users agree to use the App only for its intended purpose and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The App should not be used in a way that is unlawful, misleading, or abusive.
Acceptance of Terms
By using the App, users confirm that they have read, understood, and accepted this Privacy Policy, including any consent requests for ads in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, and the Terms & Conditions. If a user does not agree to these terms, they must not use the App.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating this page. Continued use of the App after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
International Data Transfers
The App itself does not directly transfer locally stored user preferences internationally.
However, Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob are third-party services operated by Google and may process information on servers located in different countries, subject to Google's applicable policies and safeguards.
