Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Midas Studio App ("Midas Studio App", "we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the mobile applications we publish on Google Play (each, an "App", together the "Apps"). It applies to every App published under our developer account, Midas Studio App, unless a specific App displays its own privacy policy, in which case that policy prevails for that App.
In short: we do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or contacts. The content you create in an App stays on your device. We do use third-party services from Google — analytics, crash reporting, and advertising — which collect technical identifiers and device information as described below.
1. Who we are
Midas Studio App is an independent mobile application developer. For the purposes of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Midas Studio App is the data controller for the processing described in this policy. You can reach us at any time using the details in Section 17.
2. Information collected
We do not operate user accounts and we do not directly collect information that identifies you by name. We do not sell personal information. The categories below are collected automatically by software development kits ("SDKs") embedded in our Apps.
| Category | Examples | Collected by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| App activity and usage | Screens opened, features used, session start and duration, in-app events, app version, first-open event | Google Analytics for Firebase | Understand which features are used so we can improve the App |
| Device and technical information | Device model, operating system version, screen size, language, country or region, network type, mobile carrier | Google Analytics for Firebase, Google AdMob | Analytics, compatibility, ad delivery |
| Identifiers | Advertising ID (Google Advertising ID on Android, IDFA on iOS), Firebase installation and app instance ID, IP address | Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase | Ad delivery and measurement, fraud prevention, analytics attribution |
| Approximate location | Country, region, or city inferred from your IP address. We do not collect GPS or precise location unless an App asks for it and you grant the permission. | Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase | Regional content, ad localization, aggregate statistics |
| Crash and diagnostic data | Crash stack traces, exception type, device state at the time of a crash, non-fatal error logs | Firebase Crashlytics | Diagnose and fix stability problems |
| Purchase records | Purchase and subscription status, order token, entitlement state. Google processes payment; we never receive your card number or full billing details. | Google Play Billing | Deliver and restore paid features, handle support requests |
Some of our Apps do not include every SDK listed above. The "Data safety" section on each App's Google Play store listing describes what that specific App collects and shares, and is the authoritative per-App disclosure.
3. Information that stays on your device
Content and settings you create in an App — for example notes, entries, saved items, preferences, progress, and cached files — are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us. If an App offers a cloud backup, sync, or sharing feature, the App will tell you before any such data leaves your device, and the relevant App-specific notice will describe it. Uninstalling an App removes its locally stored data.
4. Why we process information
- Provide the App. Run the features you use and remember your settings.
- Stability and security. Detect, diagnose, and fix crashes, bugs, and abuse.
- Improvement. Understand in aggregate which features are used and where users encounter difficulty.
- Advertising. Display ads that keep our free Apps free, and measure their performance.
- Purchases. Deliver, restore, and support paid features and subscriptions.
- Legal compliance. Meet obligations under applicable law and platform policies, and respond to lawful requests.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you, and we do not build profiles for purposes other than advertising as described here.
5. Legal bases (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for personalized advertising, for analytics, and for any optional device permission. You may withdraw consent at any time, as described in Section 6.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — for crash diagnostics, security, fraud prevention, and keeping the App working correctly. We limit this processing to what is necessary for a stable, secure App.
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — to deliver features you have purchased and to honor these terms of use.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — where processing is required by law.
6. Advertising consent and choices
Our free Apps may display advertising served by Google AdMob and its partners. Advertising can be personalized (based on identifiers and inferred interests) or non-personalized (based only on coarse context such as country and app content).
- EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Before serving personalized ads, our Apps present a consent message using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), consistent with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. You can decline personalization and still use the App with non-personalized ads. You can change your choice at any time through the "Privacy settings", "Ad preferences", or equivalent option in the App's settings screen.
- iOS. Where an App requests tracking permission, it does so through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, the IDFA is not used for cross-app tracking. You can change this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Android. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID and opt out of ad personalization in Settings › Google › All services › Ads (menu names vary by device).
- Google-wide controls. Manage ad settings across Google services at adssettings.google.com, and review how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
7. Third-party services we use
We share information only with the service providers below, only for the purposes described in this policy, and only to the extent their SDKs collect it. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with data brokers.
| Service | Provider | Role | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd. | Usage analytics | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd. | Crash and stability reporting | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google AdMob | Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd. | Advertising and ad measurement | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Play services & Google Play Billing | Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd. | App distribution, updates, payment processing | policies.google.com/privacy |
We may also disclose information where required by law, to enforce our Terms of Service, to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — in which case we will require the recipient to honor this policy or notify you of any material change.
8. Retention
- Analytics data is retained by Google for the period configured in our Firebase project, up to a maximum of 14 months, after which it is deleted or aggregated.
- Crash reports are retained for up to 90 days for open issues and are deleted thereafter.
- Advertising data is retained by Google according to its own retention schedules, described in Google's privacy policy.
- Purchase records are retained by Google for as long as required for tax and accounting purposes.
- On-device data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App.
9. International transfers
Our service providers operate globally, and information may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where information is transferred out of the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, our providers rely on transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
10. Children's privacy
Unless an App's store listing states that it participates in the Google Play Families program, our Apps are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. In Apps that do target or include children, we do not serve personalized advertising, we do not use the Advertising ID for personalization, and we limit SDKs to those certified for use in child-directed services, as required by the Google Play Families policy, COPPA, and the GDPR.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
11. Your privacy rights
EEA, UK, and Switzerland
You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
California (CCPA / CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used and disclosed, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information, and we do not knowingly share the personal information of consumers under 16. You may exercise the opt-out by declining personalization in the App's privacy settings or by disabling ad personalization on your device. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Other jurisdictions
Residents of other jurisdictions with comparable laws — including Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), Vietnam (Decree 13/2023/ND-CP), and other U.S. states with consumer privacy statutes — may exercise the equivalent rights available to them under local law.
How to exercise your rights
Email us using the address in Section 17 with your request and the name of the App concerned. Because we do not maintain accounts, we may ask for information that helps us locate the relevant records — such as your Firebase app instance ID or Advertising ID, if you can provide it — or we may be unable to identify data relating to you. We respond within 30 days, or sooner where the law requires it. There is no charge for a reasonable request.
12. Data deletion requests
To delete data associated with your use of our Apps:
- On-device data — clear the App's data in your device settings, or uninstall the App.
- Advertising identifiers — reset or delete your Advertising ID in your device settings, as described in Section 6.
- Analytics and crash data — email us with the name of the App and, if available, your app instance ID, and we will submit a deletion request to Google for the associated records.
Some records must be retained where legally required, for example transaction records held by Google for tax purposes. We will tell you if that applies to your request.
13. Security
We use the security controls provided by Apple, Google, and our service providers, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) for data in transit, platform sandboxing for on-device storage, and access controls on the developer consoles we operate. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal data and applicable law requires notification, we will notify you and the competent authority without undue delay.
14. Device permissions
An App requests a device permission — such as camera, photos, notifications, or storage — only where a feature you use requires it, and only at the moment it is needed. Granting a permission is always optional; declining may disable the specific feature but will not otherwise prevent you from using the App. You can review and revoke permissions at any time in your device settings.
15. Links to other services
Our Apps and this website may link to third-party websites or services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies before providing them with any information.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our Apps, our service providers, or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Where a change is material, we will provide notice in the App or on the App's store listing before it takes effect, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent again. Continued use of an App after an update takes effect means you accept the revised policy.
