1. Who we are
The App is operated by Buzzronic Co., Limited. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, contact us at dev@buzzronic.com.

2. Information we collect
We designed the App to collect as little personal data as necessary to operate and support a free, ad-supported service.
2.1 Information collected automatically
When you use the App, we and our partners may automatically collect:
- Advertising identifiers ? your Google Advertising ID (GAID), used to serve and measure ads and attribute installs.
- Device identifiers ? a hashed Android ID and similar technical identifiers used for analytics, fraud prevention, and de-duplication (not linked to your advertising ID for advertising purposes).
- Device and technical information ? device model, manufacturer, operating system version, language, time zone, screen and network type, and mobile carrier/country.
- Approximate location ? a coarse location (such as country or region) derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
- App usage and diagnostic data ? in-app events (for example, connection start/stop, feature usage), ad impressions and revenue signals, crash logs, and performance data.
- Install and attribution data ? Google Play Install Referrer and marketing attribution data, used to understand how you found the App.
2.2 VPN connection data
The App provides a VPN connection to help secure and route your traffic. Regarding your VPN usage:
- We do not monitor, log, or store the contents of your traffic, the websites or apps you access through the VPN, your DNS queries, or your browsing activity conducted through the VPN tunnel.
- We may process limited operational connection metadata (such as connection timestamps, chosen server location, and aggregate bandwidth) solely to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the Service. We do not use this to identify the specific sites you visit.
2.3 Private browser data
The App includes a private browser. Your browsing history, search terms, tabs, cookies, and downloads created in the private browser are stored only locally on your device and are automatically cleared. We do not upload your browsing history or search terms to our servers.
2.4 Information you provide
The App generally does not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name. If you contact us by email, we will receive the information you choose to share.

3. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- provide, operate, maintain, and secure the Service (including establishing VPN connections);
- serve and measure advertising, including rewarded ads that grant additional free connection time;
- attribute app installs and measure marketing campaign performance;
- analyze usage, improve features, and fix bugs;
- detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues; and
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Advertising and analytics partners
The App is free and supported by advertising. We work with third-party advertising, mediation, attribution, and analytics providers that may collect and process information (including your advertising identifier and device/usage data) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads and to measure performance. These partners may include, among others:
- Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads (mediation) and mediated ad networks such as AppLovin, Unity Ads, ironSource, Pangle, Mintegral, Vungle, and Meta Audience Network;
- Google Firebase (analytics, crash reporting, configuration);
- AppsFlyer (attribution and measurement);
- Meta / Facebook SDK (attribution and measurement).
These partners are independent controllers of the data they collect and process it under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them, for example:
- Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- AppsFlyer: https://www.appsflyer.com/legal/services-privacy-policy/
- AppLovin: https://www.applovin.com/privacy/

5. Legal bases and consent (EEA/UK users)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent ? for personalized advertising and, where required, certain analytics. For users in these regions, we present a consent request (via Google's User Messaging Platform / a compliant consent management platform) before serving personalized ads, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests ? to operate, secure, and improve the Service, and for non-personalized measurement.
- Legal obligation ? to comply with applicable law.

6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information:
- with the advertising, attribution, and analytics partners described in Section 4, to operate the ad-supported Service;
- with service providers (such as hosting and infrastructure) that process data on our behalf;
- as required to comply with law, legal process, or lawful government requests, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Buzzronic, our users, or the public; and
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.
Depending on your region, sharing data with advertising partners for personalized ads may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain laws (see Section 8).

7. Data retention
We retain information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Locally stored browser data is cleared on your device as described in Section 2.3.
---
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to processing, to data portability, and to opt out of the sale/sharing of personal information or targeted advertising.
- Advertising opt-out ? you can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID, or limit ad personalization, in your device settings (Settings ? Google ? Ads).
