This Privacy Policy explains how Touch Shield ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our mobile application (the "App").
By using the App, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We do not collect any personal information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email address, or phone number) within the App itself. However, the App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.
A. Information Collected Automatically (via Third Parties)
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. These services may collect and process the following data:
Device Identifiers: Advertising ID (e.g., Google’s GAID), IMEI, or other unique device identifiers.
Usage Data: Information about how you use the App, crash logs, and performance data.
Location Data: Approximate location data derived from your IP address.
The information collected is used for the following purposes:
App Functionality: To provide the core features of the App, such as the touch locking overlay.
Advertising: To display personalized or non-personalized advertisements via Google AdMob.
Analytics: To analyze App performance, detect crashes, and improve user experience.
The App requires specific system permissions to function. We do not use these permissions to collect personal data.
Display Over Other Apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): This is required to create the transparent "Shield" overlay that blocks touch inputs. This permission is strictly used for locking functionality and does not record screen content.
Internet Access: Required by Google AdMob to load advertisements.
This App uses third-party services that have their own Privacy Policies. We encourage you to review them:
Google AdMob & Google Play Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Although "Touch Shield" may be used as a utility for "baby-proofing" a device, the App is intended for use by parents or guardians. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers.
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your data:
Opt-Out of Targeted Ads: You can opt-out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings (Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID or Opt out of Ads Personalization).
Access/Deletion: Since we do not store personal user data on our own servers, requests for data deletion related to advertising should be directed to the third-party ad networks (Google).
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
