Privacy Policy
Welcome to ApKings (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our mobile applications and games that link to this policy (collectively, the “Apps”). Please read this policy carefully. By downloading, accessing or using our Apps, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Introduction
Our Apps are designed so that they do not collect personal data. They operate without user accounts, advertising, analytics or tracking, and any content you create is kept on your own device. This Privacy Policy explains:
- What information our Apps do and do not collect
- How information stored on your device is handled
- The device permissions our Apps may request
- Your rights and choices regarding your information
- How we handle changes to this policy
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Personal Information
We do not collect, receive or store any personally identifiable information through our Apps. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, postal address, account credentials, contacts, photos, precise or approximate location, or payment information.
2.2 Non-Personal Information
We do not collect usage data, log data, analytics data, crash reports, device identifiers or advertising identifiers. Our Apps do not contain advertising, analytics or tracking software development kits (SDKs).
2.3 Information Stored on Your Device
Certain Apps allow you to enter or create content, such as notes, photographs, preferences, settings or progress. This information is stored locally on your device, within the App’s private storage, and is not transmitted to us or to any third party. We do not have access to this information and are unable to view, retrieve or restore it.
2.4 Permissions Requested
Some Apps may request access to certain device features in order to provide specific functionality. These may include:
- Camera: To capture photographs or videos within the App.
- Photo Library: To select existing images or media for use within the App.
- Microphone: To record audio, where a feature requires it.
- Notifications: To deliver reminders or alerts, which are scheduled locally on your device.
- Device Operations: To support normal App functionality, such as vibration, keeping the screen active during use, or restoring scheduled reminders after the device restarts.
Permissions are requested only when a related feature is used. Any media or content accessed through these permissions remains on your device. You may decline or revoke any permission at any time through your device settings. If you decline a permission, certain features of the Apps may not function as intended.
3. How We Use Information
As we do not collect personal or non-personal information, we do not use, analyse, profile or process your information for any purpose. Information stored on your device is used solely by the App on that device to provide its features to you.
4. Third-Party Services
4.1 App Stores
Our Apps are distributed through third-party platforms such as the Apple App Store and Google Play. These platforms may collect information in connection with your download and use of Apps, in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these platforms.
4.2 In-App Purchases
Where an App offers optional in-app purchases or subscriptions, all payments are processed by the relevant app store. We do not receive or store your payment details. We receive only confirmation from the app store that a purchase is valid, so that the purchased content or features can be made available to you.
4.3 Device Backups
Depending on your device settings, your operating system may include App data in device backups, such as Apple iCloud or Google backups. Such backups are managed by you and the respective platform provider, and are subject to their privacy policies.
5. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent, trade or share personal information with third parties, as we do not collect it. Information leaves your device only where you choose to share or export it, for example by using your device’s share function or saving a backup file to a location of your choice.
6. Data Security
Information created within our Apps is stored within the App’s private storage on your device and is protected by your device’s built-in security features. We recommend that you keep your device protected with a passcode or biometric lock and keep its operating system up to date. While we design our Apps with privacy in mind, no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and the security of your device remains your responsibility.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Information stored on your device is retained until you delete it. You may delete this information at any time by removing it within the App, clearing the App’s data through your device settings, or uninstalling the App. Once deleted, this information cannot be recovered by us.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, including under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar laws, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. As we do not collect or hold personal data, there is no personal data held by us to which these rights would apply. You retain full control over the information stored on your device and may access, modify or delete it at any time through the App or your device settings.
9. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, including children under the age of 13, or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction. Our Apps do not collect personal information from any user, regardless of age. Where an App is intended for use by parents or guardians, any information relating to a child is entered by the parent or guardian and remains on their device.
10. International Data Transfers
As our Apps do not transmit personal information to us or to third parties, no international transfer of personal data takes place through our Apps.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective upon posting the revised policy on this page. Should any App begin to collect personal information in the future, this Privacy Policy and the relevant App store listing will be updated before such collection begins. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
