Smooth HQ

Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Smooth HQ ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with our website at smoothhq.com and our Android applications published on Google Play (collectively, the "Services"). We are committed to being transparent about our practices and keeping things simple.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or process any personal data ourselves.

Our apps do not require user accounts, registration, login, or sign-up of any kind. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal information.

However, third-party services integrated into our apps may collect certain data automatically, as described below.

Third-Party Services

Our apps use Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial advertisements. AdMob is operated by Google and may automatically collect certain information from your device, including:

This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We do not have direct access to or control over the data Google collects through AdMob.

We do not use any analytics SDKs or tracking tools beyond what is provided through AdMob.

Advertising

Ads displayed in our apps are served by Google AdMob. Depending on your consent preferences and location, you may see personalized ads (based on your interests and activity) or non-personalized ads (based on general context rather than personal data).

You can manage your ad personalization preferences through your device's settings or through the Google Ads settings page at adssettings.google.com.

In-App Purchases

Some of our apps offer in-app purchases or subscriptions, typically to remove ads. All purchases are processed entirely through Google Play's billing system. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information, credit card details, or billing data. All payment-related inquiries should be directed to Google Play.

GDPR & EEA/UK Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent framework to present you with a consent form before any ad-related data processing takes place.

Through this form, you can choose to consent to or decline personalized advertising. If you decline, only non-personalized ads will be shown. You may update your consent choice at any time through the consent option provided within each app.

The legal basis for processing through AdMob is your consent, as collected via the UMP consent form.

Children's Privacy

Our apps are intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly target or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal data through one of our apps, please contact us and we will take steps to address it.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is no user data on our servers to protect. The security of any data collected by third-party services like AdMob is governed by those services' own security practices and policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of our Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
