Action Launcher Pty. Ltd. Privacy Policy

Effective April 4, 2019

This privacy statement describes how Action Launcher Pty. Ltd., the Australian company that owns and operates Our Products (as defined in Terms), collects and uses personal information. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information.

Owner and Data Controller

Chris Lacy, Unit 3, 43 Lang Pde, Milton, Brisbane, Australia, 4064.

Owner contact email: [email protected].

Overview

We are in the business of selling applications. We are absolutely not in the business of selling personal information about customers.

We believe the best way to ensure your private information is protected is to make every effort to ensure we are never in possession of your private information in the first place.

Our Products may, after being granted explicit user consent, for the sole purpose of enhancing the functionality and features of Our Products, request access to private user data including: calendar information; device notification data; device usage data; device storage (including photos); emails; location data; phone call data; search history; and SMS data.

Our Products have no concept of a typical email or phone number based user account or login, so we have no way of linking or associating private user data to a specific user. Unless specified elsewhere in this document, in all cases where Our Products access private user data we commit to:

• Only accessing private user data after being granted explicit user consent.
• Processing and using private user data exclusively within Our Products and exclusively on the user's device.
• Never transferring private user data from the device to Action Launcher Pty. Ltd. or any third party, either directly or in an anonymized form.

Users are entirely free to decide whether or not to grant data access to Our Products, and can revoke this permission at any time. We commit to providing applications that function without requiring access to private user data unless it is not feasible for a product to function without such access.

Location

Our Products may request access to your location for the purpose of providing a weather forecast and/or providing localized search results based on your device's location. If you grant Our Products access to your device's location, no information about your device's location will be saved, transferred or otherwise to us.

After explicit user consent, location information may be transferred to third party services to fetch current weather forecasts and/or provide localized search results. No personally identifiable information will be included in this transfer.

Location data may also be used by reputable ad networks that Our Products integrate with (specifically and exclusively, Google's AdMob) to provide location-based ads.

Aggregated Statistics

We collect aggregated statistics about the behavior of users of Our Products. For example, we may aggregate how many users access specific areas or features within Our Products. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how Our Products are used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to customers. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. We never disclose personally identifying information other than as described in this document.

Third Party Services

Our applications make use of third party services for purposes including but not limited to advertising, application stability tracking, general application usage tracking, feature testing and web search results. Such third party services may transfer user data such as unique device identifiers, unique device identifiers for advertising (Google Advertiser ID or IDFA, for example), device system logs and IP Addresses. These third party services have separate and independent privacy policies. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these services.

We strive to only use Third Party Services offered by companies we consider highly reputable and trusted data custodians.

If you have concerns about the use of Third Party Services in Our Products, and personal data they may have on record about you that was provided by Our Products, please contact us via the contact details provided in this document.
