Privacy Policy for Obstrue

Effective date: 2025-12-09

Simple summary

This app only collects a few things needed for the app to work: app/screen time, background usage, and files you upload (custom sounds & images). We do not collect names, emails, or location info as part of normal use. We may show ads via AdMob which can use device identifiers. If you have questions, email zaydevstudios@gmail.com.

Data we collect

• App usage & screen time: How long you use the app and related background usage stats.
• Files you upload: Sounds and images you choose to upload for custom features.
• Ads & third-party services: We use AdMob for ads and may use analytics. These providers may collect device identifiers and other non-personal data for ads and analytics.

Why we collect this data

• To provide core app features (track time, play your uploaded sounds/images).
• To show ads so the app can stay free.
• To improve the app (basic analytics and crash reports, if enabled).

Do we collect personal info?

No. We do not collect personal information like your name, email, home address, or precise location during normal app use. If you voluntarily provide personal info (for example, by contacting us) we will only use it to respond to you.

Third parties

We use third-party services such as AdMob (Google) for ads and may use analytics providers to understand app performance. These third parties have their own privacy policies and may collect device identifiers or similar non-personal info. We recommend reviewing their policies.

Ads

We show ads (AdMob). Ad networks may use device identifiers to provide personalized ads. If you want non-personalized ads, you can change your device ad settings or follow the ad provider's opt-out instructions.

Files you upload

Files you upload (sounds / images) are used only to provide the app feature that uses them. We may store those files so you can keep using them. If you want your uploaded files removed, contact us at zaydevstudios@gmail.com.

Data retention

We keep usage data and uploaded files as long as needed to provide the service and to comply with legal obligations. If you ask, we will delete your uploaded files where possible.

If you are in the EU (GDPR) or certain US states (like California), you may have rights such as:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you (if any).
• Request deletion of your data (we will delete uploaded files on request where possible).
• Request a copy or portability of any personal data you gave us.

To exercise these rights, email zaydevstudios@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

California (CCPA/CPRA) specific

Under California law you can request information about the categories of personal information we collect and how it is used. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, email zaydevstudios@gmail.com.
