Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how SimpleCommits (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, processes, and shares information in connection with your use of the Remain mobile application (the “App”).

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Policy applies to the Remain App and any related features or services provided through it. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services we do not control, even if accessed via the App.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not directly collect or store:

• Name, email address, phone number, or mailing address
• Authentication or login credentials
• Payment or billing information
• User-generated content
• Precise GPS-based location data

The App does not require account creation, login, or personal data entry.

3. Information Collected Automatically Through Third-Party Services

While we do not collect personal data ourselves, the App integrates third-party SDKs that may automatically collect device and usage information, including:

3.1 Device Information

• Device model, manufacturer, and OS version
• Device identifiers such as Android Advertising ID
• IP address and network information
• App version and installation data

3.2 Usage and Interaction Data

• App interactions (e.g., screens/time spent)
• Crash diagnostics and performance reports
• Ad impressions, views, and engagement metrics

3.3 Approximate Location

Some ad networks may derive approximate location (country or region) from your IP address for compliant ad delivery. The App does not access GPS-level precision.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

The App uses the following third-party services:

4.1 Google AdMob

Used to display ads and support both personalized and non-personalized advertising. AdMob may collect device identifiers, usage data, and approximate location.

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4.2 Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK

Used to present consent forms and manage GDPR/EEA advertising consent preferences where required by law.

Documentation: https://developers.google.com/admob/ump

These third parties act as independent data controllers under their own policies and legal bases.

5. How Information May Be Used

Third-party services may use collected information to:

• Deliver, measure, and personalize advertising
• Limit ad frequency and combat fraud
• Analyze performance and usage trends
• Comply with applicable legal requirements

We may receive aggregated, non-identifying analytics reports.

6. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, data processing may rely on:

• Consent — for personalized advertising or tracking technologies
• Legitimate Interests — for basic app functionality, fraud prevention, and ad frequency capping

Consent is obtained through the UMP SDK where required.

7. User Choices and Opt-Out Controls

7.1 Personalized Advertising

AdMob may serve personalized ads when consent is granted. You may opt out or withdraw consent in supported regions.

7.2 Device-Level Controls

On Android, you may disable interest-based ads via:

Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization

7.3 Uninstalling the App

You may stop all information collection by uninstalling the App.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not directly share personal data with other entities. However, third-party advertising or analytics providers may disclose information under their own policies for purposes such as:

• Legal compliance
• Fraud prevention
• Ad delivery and reporting
• Service improvements

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

9. Data Retention

We do not store personal information on our servers. Data collected by third parties is retained according to their respective retention policies.

10. Data Security

Data transmitted by advertising SDKs (such as Google Mobile Ads) uses encrypted channels such as TLS. However, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed fully secure.

11. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe data has been collected should contact us so we may take appropriate action.

12. International Data Transfers

Third-party services may process data in multiple countries. Such providers may rely on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, or other legal frameworks for international transfer compliance.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When updated, we will revise the “Last Updated” date and make the new version available within the App or on our website. Continued use of the App indicates consent to the updated Policy.
