Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all apps and services developed and published by Waysider Studio ("we", "our", or "us"). By using any of our apps, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our apps are designed to work offline wherever possible, and we collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the service.

1. Information We Collect

Information we do NOT collect

• We do not require you to create an account.
• We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers directly.
• We do not store your files, documents, or media on our servers. All processing happens on your device.

Information collected automatically via advertising

Our free apps are supported by advertising provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use certain data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. This data may include:

• Advertising ID (a resettable, non-permanent identifier unique to your device)
• IP address (used to approximate your general location)
• Device information (model, operating system version, language)
• App usage data (ad interactions, impressions)

This data is collected and processed by Google LLC in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not receive or store this data directly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information collected through AdMob solely for the purpose of displaying advertisements within our apps. We do not use this data for any other purpose, and we do not sell it to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

Our apps may use the following third-party service:

• Google AdMob (Google LLC) - for serving in-app advertisements.
  Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

4. Advertising and Your Choices

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

• On Android: go to Settings > Google > Ads > "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
• You can also reset your Advertising ID at any time from the same menu
• Visit Google Ads Settings to manage your ad preferences

5. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data directly, we have no personal data to retain or delete. Data collected by Google AdMob is subject to Google's own retention policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Our apps are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our services, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

7. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability

Since we do not directly collect personal data, most of these rights apply to the data held by Google AdMob. For requests related to Google's data, please visit myaccount.google.com. For any other privacy concerns, contact us directly.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect our apps and services. Since our apps process data locally on your device and do not transmit your personal files to any server, the security of your data is largely dependent on your device's own security settings.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our apps after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
