# Privacy Policy

**Effective Date: 21 February 2026**

This Privacy Policy describes how the PSC application ("App", "we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the **European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)** and the **California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)**.

---

## 1. Information We Collect

**The App itself does not directly collect, store, or process any personal information.** We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information.

However, the App uses **third-party advertising services** that may collect certain information automatically, as described below.

---

## 2. Third-Party Advertising — Google Ads

The App displays advertisements provided by **Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob)**. Google may automatically collect the following types of information through the ads displayed in the App:

- **Device identifiers** (e.g., Advertising ID, Android ID)
- **IP address**
- **Device information** (model, operating system version, screen size)
- **Ad interaction data** (impressions, clicks)
- **Approximate location** (derived from IP address)
- **Cookies and similar tracking technologies**

This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policy. We do not have access to or control over this data.

**Google's Privacy Policy:** [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

**Google Ads Settings (opt out of personalised ads):** [https://adssettings.google.com](https://adssettings.google.com)

## 3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR — EU/EEA Users)

For users in the European Union and European Economic Area, the legal basis for the processing of data by third-party advertising services is:

- **Consent** — Where required, you will be asked to provide consent before personalised ads are served. You may withdraw your consent at any time through your device settings or Google's ad settings.
- **Legitimate Interest** — For non-personalised ads, processing may be based on our legitimate interest in funding the App through advertising.

### Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have the following rights:

- **Right of Access** — Request a copy of data held about you
- **Right to Rectification** — Request correction of inaccurate data
- **Right to Erasure** — Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
- **Right to Restrict Processing** — Request restriction of how your data is used
- **Right to Data Portability** — Request your data in a portable format
- **Right to Object** — Object to processing of your data, including for direct marketing
- **Right to Withdraw Consent** — Withdraw previously given consent at any time

To exercise these rights in relation to data collected by Google, please visit [Google's Privacy Tools](https://myaccount.google.com/privacy). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

## 4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA — California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the CCPA provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information.

### Information Collected by Third Parties

As described in Section 2, Google's advertising SDK may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and ad interaction data. **We do not sell your personal information.** However, the serving of personalised ads by Google may constitute a "sale" of personal information under the CCPA's broad definition.

### Your Rights Under CCPA

- **Right to Know** — You have the right to request what personal information is collected, used, or disclosed
- **Right to Delete** — You have the right to request deletion of your personal information
- **Right to Opt-Out** — You have the right to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. You can opt out of personalised advertising via your device settings or [Google's Ad Settings](https://adssettings.google.com)
- **Right to Non-Discrimination** — We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights

To exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us using the details in Section 9.

## 5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The App itself does not use cookies. However, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements. You can manage your preferences through your device's advertising settings or Google's ad personalisation controls.

---

## 6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App's third-party services, please contact us and we will take steps to address the issue.

---

## 7. Data Retention and Security

Since the App does not collect personal data directly, we do not retain any user data. For information about how Google retains data collected through its advertising services, please refer to [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

## 8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the updated version of the App with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
