Legal · Data Protection
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how PAPADROID collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile personalization apps — wallpapers, theme collections, and other lightweight apps available on the Google Play Store.
01Quick Summary
PAPADROID apps are built to be as simple as possible: displaying and applying wallpapers or personalization content to your phone. We do not require accounts, do not ask for personal data such as names or phone numbers, and most features can be used completely offline.
02Data Collected
We distinguish between two types of data:
- Data we do not ask for: full name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, or personal photos. The app does not require account registration.
- Automatic technical data: device type, Android system version, Advertising ID, device language, and app crash/performance data — collected to fix bugs and show relevant ads.
03App Permissions
PAPADROID personalization apps only request permissions that are absolutely needed for features to run:
| Permission | Purpose of use |
|---|---|
| Storage | Saving downloaded wallpapers and applying them as lock/home screen backgrounds. |
| Internet | Loading the latest wallpaper collections and displaying ads from third-party partners. |
| Network info | Adjusting the quality of loaded images based on connection conditions. |
| Wallpaper (Set Wallpaper) | Applying selected images directly as the system wallpaper. |
Some sound-themed apps (e.g., prank apps) may request permission to play/save audio locally — no user voice recordings are captured.
04How Data is Used
- Running core app functions: displaying, downloading, and applying wallpapers.
- Detecting and fixing errors or crashes through automated reports.
- Showing supporting ads to keep the app free for all users.
- Understanding which features are used the most to determine future updates.
05Third-Party Services
To keep the app free, PAPADROID uses the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:
- Google AdMob — displaying in-app ads based on the device's Advertising ID.
- Google Analytics / Firebase — measuring app usage in an aggregated and anonymous manner for product improvements.
- Google Play Services — providing basic system functions such as app updates and crash reporting.
We recommend reading the Google Privacy Policy to understand how these services handle data.
06Data Sharing
PAPADROID does not sell user data to any party. Limited technical data is only shared with the service providers above (ads and analytics) to the extent necessary for those services to function, and is subject to the privacy policy of each provider.
07Data Security
Because our apps do not store personal data on our own servers, the risk of personal data leaks from PAPADROID's side is very minimal. For technical data processed by third parties, we only work with service providers that implement industry security standards.
08Children's Privacy
PAPADROID apps are not specifically directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If a parent/guardian becomes aware that their child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so it can be deleted.
09User Rights
- You can revoke app permissions (storage, etc.) at any time through your Android Settings.
- You can reset your Advertising ID or disable ad personalization through the Google settings on your device.
- You can uninstall the app at any time to stop all data collection related to the app.
10Policy Changes
This policy may be updated from time to time following changes to app features or platform requirements. Significant changes will be reflected in the "Effective since" date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
