Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 30 Dec 2024

At Cookie Browser (the "App"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect data when you use our App, including the use of advertisements, and how we comply with applicable data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the State of California, USA.

Please read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use carefully. When you consent to our Terms of Service and use our apps that link to this Privacy Policy you are agreeing to these terms.

1. Information Collection

1. Personal Data

  • No Direct Personal Data Collection: The App does not collect, store, or share any personal information from users. You are not required to sign up or create an account to use the App.
  • Third-Party Websites: The App functions as an internet browser that may enable you to visit third-party websites. These websites may collect personal information via cookies or other tracking technologies. We are not responsible for how third-party websites handle your data. Please review the privacy policies of the websites you visit for more details.

2. Usage Data

  • Analytics and Crash Reporting: We uses Google Firebase for analytics and crash reporting. While Firebase collects general app usage data (e.g., device type, operating system, and app performance), it does not collect personally identifiable information.
  • This data helps us improve the App's performance, user experience, and identify any technical issues. However, this data is not linked to any individual user.

3. Advertising Data

  • Ad Partners: We may partner with third-party advertising networks (e.g., Google AdMob or other providers) to serve ads within the App. These providers may collect or receive certain information from your device (e.g., IP address, advertising ID, device ID, usage data, and other identifiers).
  • Purpose of Collection: This data is used to display relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

2. How We Use Your Data

1. Analytics & Crash Reports

  • We use non-personal data collected via Google Firebase to troubleshoot errors, improve performance, and enhance user experience.

2. Advertising

  • We display ads in the App through third-party ad networks. These networks may use data about your visits to websites or apps to display ads that may be of interest to you (interest-based advertising).
  • If you are located in the EEA, you may be asked to provide or withhold consent for personalized advertising. If you opt out or withdraw consent, you may still see non-personalized ads.

3. Service Improvements

  • Aggregate data, such as crash logs and usage trends, may be used to improve the App’s features and stability.

3. Data Sharing and Transfers

  1. Third-Party Service Providers
  1. No Sale of Personal Information
  • We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide a clear mechanism for opting out.
  1. Third-Party Websites
  • When you visit a third-party website through the App, any personal information you provide is governed by that website’s privacy policy. We encourage you to review the policies of any site you visit.

4. Data Retention

  • Since we do not directly collect or store personal information, we do not retain such data.
  • For non-personal data (e.g., analytics, crash reports), we retain this information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and in compliance with our partners’ data retention policies.

5. Your Rights

  1. The right to be informed
  • You have the right to know about the collection and usage of your personal data

  1. Right to Opt-Out of Sale
  • We do not sell personal information. If we were ever to change our practices, we would provide a clear mechanism for opting out.

If you have questions or concerns about or wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at kijangchat@gmail.com We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We will let you know if we need additional information from you in order to fulfill your request.

6. Children’s Privacy

This App is not directed to children under the age of 13, depending on jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have unintentionally collected such information, please contact us immediately.

7. App Permissions

The App may request the following permissions to enhance user experience:

1. Check Network Connection State

  • Purpose: To detect whether the user's network is available and whether it is Wi-Fi or mobile data. This allows the App to give users alerts when downloading files to help manage data usage.

2. Read and Write to Phone's External Storage

  • Purpose: This permission is required for user-initiated downloads. The App needs access to read and write files, but this is limited to the App's private directory and public download directories. The App does not access any other storage areas.

3. Get Phone Location Information

  • Purpose: Some websites may request your location information (e.g., for maps, weather forecasts). The App itself does not obtain, store, or process this information, but allows websites to request it if needed.

4. Video and Audio Recording

  • Purpose: Certain websites may request access to video and audio recording (e.g., for live chat or voice/video services). The App does not collect or store any recordings; it only grants websites the necessary permissions to function.

8. Security

While the App does not collect or store personal data, we still prioritize security in our operations. We use industry-standard practices to protect the App from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other vulnerabilities.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the App’s functionality or legal requirements. You will be notified of significant changes, and continued use of the App following such changes will signify your acceptance of the updated policy.
