Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

DRAFT — Keith: confirm every section below against what the KineticDots app actually does (especially data collection and the ad SDK used in the free version) before this goes public. Replace the contact email if needed.

This Privacy Policy explains how the KineticDots Android application ("KineticDots," "the app," "we") handles information. KineticDots is offered in a free version and a paid ("Plus") version. By using the app you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

KineticDots does not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or other personal identifiers to use the app.

• Settings you choose (dot size, count, color, opacity, and saved layouts) are stored locally on your device so the app remembers your preferences. They are not sent to us.
• Advertising (free version). The free version may display advertisements through a third‑party advertising provider. That provider may collect device and usage information (such as a device advertising identifier) to deliver and measure ads, in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Confirm the exact ad provider (e.g., Google AdMob) and link its policy here, or remove this section if the free version shows no ads.

How information is used

• To provide the dot overlay and remember your settings on your device.
• To display advertising in the free version, where applicable.
• To understand basic, aggregated app stability and performance, where such data is provided by the app store or an ad/analytics provider.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by the third‑party service providers described above (for example, an advertising provider) solely to operate those features. Google Play may also provide us with aggregated, non‑identifying statistics about downloads and crashes.

Permissions

KineticDots uses only the Android permissions needed to draw its overlay on your screen. It does not need your contacts, camera, microphone, or precise location to function.

Confirm the actual permissions the app requests (e.g., "Display over other apps" / SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) and list them here.

Children

KineticDots is a general‑audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

• You can reset your advertising identifier or opt out of personalized ads in your Android settings.
• Upgrading to KineticDots Plus removes ads.
• You can uninstall the app at any time, which removes locally stored settings.

Not a medical service

KineticDots is a general comfort and wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not collect or process health data. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
