AppBrain Ad Detector Privacy Policy and terms

Version: May 21st, 2021

PRIVACY

OPT-IN

Our app has an opt-in screen at the start. If you don't opt-in, we won't collect any information about installed apps on your device.

DATA COLLECTED

When you opt in, our app will collect the package name of apps you install and uninstall and detect what ad networks and development tools are present in those apps. This data is sent to AppTornado servers over a secure connection. With the data in the request we can also see your IP address. We also collect non-personal data, such as the country you're most likely in, what kind of Android device you are using and what OS version is on it and other technical details.

DATA RETENTION

The data that relates to your device is deleted after at most 30 days. It's processed only for the purpose creating aggregated reports for popularity of apps and analyzing user behavior to improve our products. No personal profiles are built.
