PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

AlphApps ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how our Android application ("App"), published under the Google Play developer account AlphApps, accesses, collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares information when you install or use the App.

This policy applies to our App and its associated features and services. The information processed may vary depending on the features you use, the permissions you grant, and the third-party services integrated into the particular version of the App.

By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on the App's functionality and the features you choose to use, the following categories of information may be accessed or collected.

A. Device Information

We or our integrated service providers may collect certain technical information, including:

• Device manufacturer and model.

Sensor information is generally processed on the device to provide the requested functionality.

E. Location Information

Our applications do not require precise GPS location access unless a particular feature specifically needs it.

Where a location-based feature is available, the App will request the relevant permission before accessing location information.

Certain third-party services, such as advertising or analytics providers, may also infer general geographic information from an IP address.

F. Information You Provide

When you contact us for technical support, feedback, or other inquiries, we may receive:

• Your email address.

This information may be used for advertising delivery, frequency management, measurement, fraud prevention, analytics, and service improvement.
