Green Carbon Footprint Tracker US

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Green Carbon Footprint Tracker US (“we,” “our,” or “us”), developed by Haider Ali. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled in compliance with the Google Play Developer Program Policies, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

As a utility app, Green Carbon Footprint Tracker US is designed to respect your privacy.

• User-Provided Data: The app calculates metrics (including carbon footprint data and age using user-entered dates).
• Account Creation: The app does not require account creation.
• Personal Information: The app does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by contacting us via email for support).
• Sensitive Data: No sensitive personal data (such as financial information, health data, or biometric data) is collected or processed by the App.

3. How We Use Information

Any data entered into the App for calculation purposes is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. If you contact us for support, we will use your email address and any provided information solely to respond to your inquiry and improve the App.

4. Permissions Used by the App

The App may request certain standard permissions to function correctly, such as network access (to display advertisements). We only request permissions that are strictly necessary for the App’s core functionality and utility.

5. Advertising

Our App uses third-party advertising services, specifically Google AdMob, to provide free content to our users.

• Google AdMob may collect and use anonymous usage information, device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID), and location data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your usage of this App and other apps/websites.
• Users can learn more about how Google uses data in advertising by visiting the Google Privacy & Terms page. You may opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings (e.g., “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in Android settings).

6. Third-Party Services

Aside from Google AdMob, the App may utilize other Google Play Services for basic app stability and crash reporting. These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies. We do not integrate third-party APIs that silently collect or harvest user data.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose anonymous, aggregated information (such as app usage statistics) to third-party service providers (like AdMob) to facilitate advertising and app analytics. We may also disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process.

8. Data Retention

Because the App does not collect or store personal data on our servers, data retention primarily applies to local storage on your device. You can clear this data at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing the App’s cache/data in your device settings. Any support emails you send to us will be retained only as long as necessary to resolve your issue.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to securely delete such data.

10. Security

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of any data you voluntarily share with us. However, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11. User Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., under the GDPR for European users or CCPA for California residents), you have certain rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access & Portability: You can request access to the data we hold about you.
• Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): You can request the deletion of your personal data.
• Right to Opt-Out: You can opt-out of ad personalization via your Android device settings.

Since we do not store your personal data on our servers, most data management can be handled directly by you on your device. For any specific requests, please contact us.

12. International Data Transfers

If you voluntarily provide us with personal information (e.g., via email), it may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
