Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Glowline: Edge Lighting Border (the "app") handles, why, and who receives it. It describes the app's actual technical behaviour. The app has no user accounts and the developer does not run a server that receives your data: the developer does not receive your styles, colors, LED text, photos and videos, the apps you choose for Notification glow, or the content of your notifications.

1. Summary

• No account or sign-in is needed.
• Edge styles, wallpapers, color sets, holiday sets, LED text, saved borders, Auto-change schedules, and Notification glow settings are stored on your device. The built-in wallpapers and styles are included in the app and work offline.
• Notification access is asked only when you turn on Notification glow, and its data is not sent to the developer.
• The app shows ads through Google AdMob, with AppLovin (AppLovin MAX) as an additional ad network, and asks for your consent where the law requires it, using Google's User Messaging Platform.
• Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics receive usage statistics, VIP purchase events, and crash reports; the Google AdMob and AppLovin SDKs also collect data, including their own crash logs, as described in section 2.
• The optional VIP plan is sold through Google Play and only removes ads. Every style, wallpaper, color set, and feature is free for everyone.

2. Information collected automatically

The following data is collected by the third-party software development kits (SDKs) built into the app, not by a server of the developer. Data described as "shared" is also passed by that SDK to its provider's advertising partners as part of serving ads.

• Approximate location (derived from your IP address, country, and time zone): used for analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance, and advertising or marketing; collected and shared by Google AdMob and AppLovin, and collected by Google Firebase Analytics. The app itself does not request location permission.
• Device or other IDs (advertising ID, App Set ID, Firebase app instance and installation IDs, Crashlytics installation ID): used for analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance, and advertising or marketing; collected and shared by Google AdMob and AppLovin, and collected by Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.
• App interactions (for example app opens, screens viewed, sessions, taps on ads, ads viewed): used for analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance, and advertising or marketing; collected and shared by Google AdMob and AppLovin, and collected by Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. These events do not contain your notifications, your LED text, or your photos and videos.
• Diagnostics (app and SDK performance, such as ad load and display times, device model, Android version, app version, network type): used for analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance, and advertising or marketing; collected and shared by Google AdMob and AppLovin, and collected by Google Firebase Crashlytics.
• Crash logs (the error, its stack trace, and the app or SDK state when it crashed): used for analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance, and advertising or marketing; collected by Google Firebase Crashlytics, by the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) for crashes of that SDK, and by the AppLovin MAX SDK, which sends its crash logs to AppLovin.
• Purchase history (in-app purchase and subscription events for the VIP plan, such as the in_app_purchase event): used for analytics and for advertising or marketing; collected by Google Firebase Analytics. When the developer's Firebase project is linked to Google Ads, these purchase events are used to measure conversions and the return on ad spend (ROAS) of the developer's own app promotion campaigns. Your payment details are not included (see section 7).

The app does not collect precise location, contacts, photos or files, audio, messages, call logs, the content of your notifications, or personal information such as your name or email address. If you choose to send feedback by email, the developer receives that email as described in section 4.

3. Information stored only on your device

The following stays on your device and is not sent to the developer:

• Your styles and settings: the applied edge style, colors, thickness, speed, corner and notch fit, color sets, holiday sets, LED text, borders you save in My Borders, Auto-change schedules, and the app language.
• Notification glow settings: which apps may make the edge glow and the color chosen for each app. To let you choose, the app lists the apps that have an icon on your home screen; this list is read on the device and is not saved or sent anywhere.
• Photos and videos you choose: to use your own photo or video as a wallpaper, you pick it with the Android system photo picker. The app copies that one item into its private storage so it can be drawn behind the edge. It is not uploaded.

Sharing a style creates a short code that you send yourself through the Android share menu, to the app you choose; the developer does not receive it. App data may be included in Android's own backup if you have enabled backup for your Google account; that backup is controlled by Android and Google, not by the developer.

4. Network requests made by the app itself

• App settings file: the app downloads a small settings file from the developer's website (sensitech.web.app, hosted on Google Firebase Hosting) that can turn ad placements on or off. No personal data is sent with this request; like any web request, the host sees your IP address.
• Send feedback: Settings → Send feedback opens your own email app with a message to the developer's support address. The message contains the issue type you pick, what you type, the app version, and your phone model. Nothing is sent by the app itself: the email goes only if you send it from your email app, and then the developer receives it together with your email address and uses it only to reply and fix problems.
• Links you open: rating the app, opening this policy or the terms, and managing a subscription open Google Play or your browser. Those services apply their own privacy policies.

Everything else, including drawing the edge, wallpapers, alerts, and LED text, works on the device without the internet.

5. Permissions

• Live wallpaper: the edge is shown as a live wallpaper that you set yourself through Android's wallpaper screen. It is drawn only on your home and lock screens, does not draw over other apps, does not receive touches, and does not capture or read the screen. No permission is requested for this.
• Notification access (notification listener, granted by you in Android settings after the app explains it): optional, used only for Notification glow. When a notification or an incoming call notification arrives, the app checks which app sent it and its type (for example a call) to make the edge glow in the color you chose. The app does not read, store, or send the text of your notifications or messages. If you do not grant it, the rest of the app keeps working.
• Set wallpaper (SET_WALLPAPER): used only when you turn the border off, to keep the photo you chose in the app as a still wallpaper. The app does not read your current wallpaper.
• Internet and network state (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): used to load ads, send statistics and crash reports, download the app settings file, and check purchases with Google Play.
• Google Play Billing (BILLING): used only to buy and restore the VIP plan.
• Advertising ID (AD_ID and the related Android ad services permissions, added by the ad SDKs): used by Google AdMob and AppLovin as described in section 2.

The app does not request access to your contacts, microphone, camera, location, phone state, call logs, SMS, or your files, it does not draw over other apps, and it does not ask to become your default phone app. Photos and videos are reached only through the system photo picker, one at a time, when you choose them.

6. Advertising

The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob. When AdMob has no ad to show, the app may show an ad from AppLovin (AppLovin MAX); its SDK is included in the app and receives the data described in section 2. Ads appear on some screens (for example Home, Edge Styles, Wallpapers, Applied, Customize, and LED text) and as an occasional full-screen ad after you apply an edge, set a wallpaper, or save a style, with frequency limits. No full-screen ad is shown when you open the app or press Back. A rewarded ad is shown only if you choose to watch it to turn off ads for 2 hours; it does not unlock any content. Ads are never shown to users with an active VIP plan.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another region where consent is required, the app shows Google's consent form (User Messaging Platform) before ads are requested. You can change your choice at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options (this item appears where a consent choice applies).

You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on the device).

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): the developer does not sell personal information for money. Sharing the advertising ID and the other data in section 2 with Google AdMob and AppLovin for targeted advertising may count as "sharing" under California law; you can limit it by opting out of personalised ads as described above.

AppLovin is a third party that collects data through its SDK in this app, as described in section 2. For more information about AppLovin's collection and use of your information visit: https://legal.applovin.com/privacy/.

7. Purchases

The VIP plan (a yearly subscription) is sold and billed by Google Play. It only removes ads; every edge style, wallpaper, color set, holiday set, and feature stays free for everyone. Your payment details are handled by Google and never reach the app or the developer. The app receives only the purchase status from Google Play to know whether ads should be turned off, and Firebase Analytics records the purchase event (without payment details) for analytics and for measuring the developer's own Google Ads campaigns, as described in section 2.

8. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country) and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will help remove it.

9. Data retention and deletion

• Data stored on your device stays there until you delete it in the app (for example deleting a saved style), clear the app's data in Android settings, or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes it all, including photos copied into the app.
• Data received by Google AdMob, AppLovin, and Google Firebase is kept according to their own retention policies. Firebase Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in the Firebase project, and crash reports are kept for a limited time by Crashlytics.
• Because the app has no accounts, the developer cannot link this data to your identity. You can reset your advertising ID in Android settings to break the link with past ad data.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU, the UK GDPR, the CCPA/CPRA in California, or Vietnam's personal data protection rules), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a data protection authority. You can withdraw ad consent in Settings → Privacy options, and you can withdraw notification access or other permissions at any time in Android settings. For any other request, email us; we will respond within a reasonable time and explain what we can do, given that the developer holds no account data about you.

11. Security

The app and the SDKs it uses connect over encrypted connections (HTTPS); the app blocks unencrypted HTTP traffic. Data stored on your device is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we use the protections provided by Android and our service providers.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes, for example when an SDK or a permission is added or removed. The updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. Please review it from time to time.
