Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2026 (2026-09-01 09:50:50) Last Updated: September 1, 2026

MobApp ("we", "us", or "our") respects and protects your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to the Android applications published and operated by MobApp through Google Play (collectively, "our Apps")—including utilities such as Phone Locator GPS Location and related tools—and explains how information is collected, used, shared, retained, and safeguarded.

Not every App published by MobApp utilizes all of the features, device permissions, or third-party SDKs described in this Policy. Actual data practices depend entirely on the specific functionality of each App and how you choose to interact with it. Where an individual App provides supplemental in-app notices or just-in-time permission prompts, those disclosures supplement and should be read together with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Automatically Collect

When you interact with our Apps, we or integrated third-party service providers may automatically process technical and diagnostic data to ensure stability, provide core services, and support ad monetization:

• Device & Hardware Information: Device model, manufacturer, operating system version, CPU architecture, screen resolution, language settings, and country/region.
• Network & Connectivity Data: IP address, general network type (e.g., Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G), mobile carrier, and approximate location derived from IP.
• App Identifiers & Usage: App version, package name, session duration, user interaction metrics, feature usage, and the Android Advertising ID (GAID) (where permitted and accessible).
• Diagnostic & Performance Logs: Crash reports, Application Not Responding (ANR) events, memory usage statistics, and performance diagnostics.

Note on Identifiers: We do not collect non-resettable hardware identifiers (such as hardware IMEI or MAC addresses) for advertising or tracking purposes, in strict adherence to Google Play policies.

2. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Depending on how you use our Apps, you may choose to provide certain information directly to us:

• Customer Support & Communications: When contacting us at mobappstar.Operation@outlook.com, you may provide your email address, name, device model, and a description of your issue or feedback.
• In-App Configurations: Custom settings you configure within our Apps (e.g., custom caller themes, personalized dialer styles, ringtone preferences, or search queries).

We process voluntarily submitted information solely to fulfill the relevant request or functionality.

3. Device Permissions

Our Apps request device permissions only when strictly necessary to deliver specific features. You may revoke or manage these permissions at any time via your Android system settings (Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions).

4. Local Processing vs. Cloud Transmission

• Local On-Device Processing: Wherever possible, our Apps process sensitive user content (such as call state styling, contact association, and custom wallpaper files) strictly on your device. Such content is not uploaded to or stored on our external servers.
• Cloud Transmission: Only anonymized diagnostic logs, crash reports, standard ad request tokens, and necessary analytic events are transmitted over encrypted protocols (HTTPS/TLS) to our servers or authorized third-party SDK endpoints.

5. How We Use Your Information

We process collected information under valid legal bases for the following purposes:

1. Delivering Core Functionalities: Enabling caller identification helpers, custom dialer/screen personalization, and location-utility modules.
2. Maintenance and Bug Diagnostics: Monitoring app health, analyzing crash/ANR logs, and fixing defects via telemetry.
3. Advertising & Monetization: Displaying contextually relevant or personalized ads, calculating ad performance, controlling ad frequency, and preventing invalid traffic or click fraud.
4. Security & Fraud Prevention: Detecting malicious activity, unauthorized access, and compliance violations.
5. Legal Compliance: Fulfilling legal obligations and enforcing our terms of service.

6. Third-Party SDKs and Integrated Services

Our Apps may integrate third-party SDKs for analytics, crash reporting, privacy choice management, and advertising mediation. These partners process information in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

A. Analytics, Diagnostics & Consent Management

B. Advertising Mediation & Monetization Partners

Our Apps utilize advertising networks—primarily integrated via mediation platforms such as Google AdMob—to display interstitial, banner, native, and rewarded advertisements.

7. Advertising Choices & Consent Controls

1. Google UMP & In-App Consent: In regions subject to GDPR/UK GDPR or applicable US state laws, our Apps deploy the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent manager. You may update or withdraw your consent at any time through the in-app privacy settings.
2. Device-Level Ad Tracking Opt-Out: You can control your ad personalization preferences or reset/delete your Android Advertising ID directly from your device:
   • Go to Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads) to reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads.

8. Data Security, Retention, and User Deletion Rights

A. Data Security Safeguards

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. All network communications are encrypted in transit using TLS/HTTPS. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

B. Data Retention Period

We retain information only for the minimum period necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, resolve disputes, prevent security incidents, and satisfy applicable legal obligations. Once information is no longer needed, it is deleted or permanently anonymized.

C. User Deletion & Access Requests

You have the right to request access to or deletion of personal information held by us:

• Direct Requests: Submit your request to our privacy team at mobappstar.Operation@outlook.com. We will verify and process your request within legally mandated timeframes (typically within 30 days).
• Local Data Removal: For information stored solely locally on your device (e.g., cache, settings, custom themes), you can delete all such data immediately by clearing the App's storage cache via Android settings (Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Data) or by uninstalling the App.

9. International Privacy Frameworks & User Rights

A. European Economic Area (EEA) & UK Users (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you reside in the EEA or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to specific rights regarding your personal data:

• Legal Bases for Processing: We process data based on your explicit consent (e.g., personalized advertising via CMP), our legitimate interests (e.g., app optimization, crash monitoring, fraud prevention), or contract necessity.
• Your Rights: You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your data, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, adjust your preferences via the in-app CMP interface or contact us at mobappstar.Operation@outlook.com.

B. California & US State Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) provides you with specific rights:

• Notice of Collection: We collect technical device identifiers, network activity, approximate geolocation (from IP), and usage diagnostics for the operational purposes described in this Policy.
• No Monetary Sale: We do not sell your personal information for direct monetary consideration.
• Sharing / Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: Disclosing online identifiers to advertising networks may qualify as "sharing" or processing for targeted advertising under California law. You may opt out of such sharing by adjusting your in-app privacy settings (UMP), managing device-level ad settings, or emailing us.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

10. In-App Purchases and Billing

Certain Apps may provide optional in-app purchases, subscriptions, or premium features. All financial transactions are processed securely through the Google Play In-App Billing system. We do not collect, process, or store complete payment card numbers or banking information on our servers.

11. Policy Changes & Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our legal obligations, features, or integrated third-party SDKs. Any modifications will take effect immediately upon posting the revised policy on this page, with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
