Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2026 Last Updated: September 1, 2026

Travel Tools Studio ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data of our users. This Privacy Policy applies to the Android applications published and operated by Travel Tools Studio through Google Play (collectively, "our Apps") and explains how information may be collected, used, shared, retained, and protected when you interact with our Apps.

Not every App published by us utilizes all of the features, device permissions, or third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) described in this Policy. Actual data practices depend on the specific functionality, configuration of each App, and your individual interactions with it.

1. Information We Collect

We categorize the information processed in connection with our Apps into data collected automatically and data provided directly by you.

Data Category	Specific Data Types Collected	Purpose & Processing Method
Device Identifiers & Technical Info	Android Advertising ID (AAID), Device Model, Manufacturer, Operating System & Version, System Language, Screen Resolution, Carrier/ISP	Used to ensure app compatibility, optimize interface display, prevent invalid traffic/fraud, and provide core functionality.
Network & Diagnostic Data	IP Address, Network Connection Type (Wi-Fi, 4G/5G), Crash Logs, ANR Reports, Performance Metrics, Session Timestamps	Processed for security monitoring, network performance optimization, error diagnostics, and service stability maintenance.
App Usage & Interaction Data	In-app clicks, feature usage frequency, screen views, session duration, ad interaction metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions)	Analyzed to understand user preferences, evaluate product performance, improve app features, and optimize advertising relevance.
User-Provided Information	Email address, user feedback/inquiries, customer support correspondence, or optional settings input	Processed exclusively to respond to inquiries, resolve technical issues, or deliver user-requested features.

2. Device Permissions

Depending on the specific features and tools provided by an App, we may request access to certain system permissions. Permissions are requested only when strictly necessary and can be granted or revoked by you at any time via your device settings.

Permission	Category	Functional Purpose & Scope
Internet / Network State	`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`, `INTERNET`	Verifies active internet connectivity, allows cloud sync, error reporting, and network-based app features.
Location (Approximate / Precise)	`ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION`, `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION`	Utilized strictly if the App requires location-based utilities (e.g., travel/regional tools) or localized ad delivery.
Storage / Media Access	`READ_MEDIA_IMAGES`, `READ_MEDIA_VIDEO`, `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Used exclusively to read, process, or save local files selected by the user. Media is processed locally unless explicitly stated.
Camera & Microphone	`CAMERA`, `RECORD_AUDIO`	Utilized only where the App provides real-time capture, QR scanning, or audio utility features upon explicit action.
Notifications	`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`	Delivers functional alerts, service status updates, and critical system notifications.

3. Local Processing vs. Data Transmission

We prioritize on-device local processing whenever possible to minimize data exposure.

Local Processing: Where an App offers offline tools, photo/media editing, or utility calculations, the relevant files and inputs are processed entirely on your local device and are never uploaded to our servers.
Data Transmission: When an online feature is invoked (e.g., ad retrieval, analytics reporting, customer support), only the minimum necessary technical data is securely transmitted using standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS).

4. Legal Basis for Data Processing (GDPR & Global Standards)

We process personal data under the following legal bases in accordance with applicable data protection regulations:

Legal Basis	Applicable Processing Activities
Performance of Contract	Providing core app functionalities, fulfilling user-requested features, and maintaining basic service delivery.
Consent	Displaying personalized/tailored advertisements, utilizing optional third-party ad networks, and non-essential analytical cookies/trackers. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Legitimate Interests	Analyzing product stability, preventing fraud, securing network integrity, troubleshooting crashes, and improving user experience.
Legal Obligation	Retaining financial/transaction records where applicable, complying with court orders, or satisfying mandatory disclosures under statutory laws.

5. Third-Party SDKs and Partner Matrix

Our Apps may integrate third-party SDKs to facilitate advertising monetization, analytics, and performance monitoring. Third-party partners process information according to their independent privacy policies.

Partner / SDK Name	Primary Function	Typical Data Processed	Privacy Policy Reference
Google AdMob / UMP	Ad Monetization & Consent Management	IP Address, AAID, Ad Interaction Data, Approximate Location, Diagnostics	Google Privacy Policy
Umeng Analytics	App Performance & Statistics	Device Identifiers, Network Type, Session Logs, OS Version	Umeng Privacy Policy
Pangle (Ads-Global)	Ad Network & Mediation	AAID, Device Info, IP Address, Ad Performance Metrics	Pangle Privacy Policy
Mintegral	Ad Monetization	AAID, Device Specs, IP Address, In-App Ad Events	Mintegral Privacy Policy
Liftoff (Vungle)	Video & Display Ads	AAID, Hardware Specs, Ad Interaction Logs, IP Address	Liftoff Privacy Policy
AppLovin	Ad Mediation & Monetization	Device Identifiers, IP Address, Network Connection, Ad Metrics	AppLovin Privacy Policy

Other Ad Exchanges (OpenX, TripleLift, Yieldmo, Verve, Equativ, Media.net)	Ad Delivery & Frequency Capping	Technical Device Parameters, AAID, Anonymized Traffic Signals	OpenX Policy / Yieldmo Policy

6. Advertising Practices and User Choices

Personalized Advertising: With your consent (where required by law), ad networks use identifiers (such as AAID) to deliver tailored ads.
Managing Ad Choices:
- In-App Controls: Where available (e.g., within the EEA/UK), you can manage your advertising choices at any time via the in-app Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent panel.
- Device-Level Controls: You can reset or delete your Advertising ID via your Android device settings: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID or Reset advertising ID.

7. Integrated Lifecycle: Data Security, Retention, and Deletion

We maintain a unified framework to protect your information, regulate data retention limits, and provide straightforward deletion mechanisms.

Lifecycle Stage	Operational Policies & Technical Standards	User Action & Request Mechanism
Data Security	• Industry-standard TLS/HTTPS encryption in transit. • Principle of least privilege for backend access. • Periodic code reviews and vulnerability mitigation. • Secure local sandboxing on Android.	In the event of a suspected security concern, contact our privacy team immediately at `destinyminji03@outlook.com`.
Data Retention	• Temporary & Analytic Logs: Automatically purged or anonymized within a rolling 90-day cycle. • Direct Inquiries: Retained only for the duration required to resolve user queries. • Legal Obligations: Retained strictly as required by applicable tax, commercial, or compliance statutes.	System caches and temporary files are automatically pruned by routine automated clean-up tasks.
Data Deletion	• On-Device Data: Cleared immediately upon user action. • Identifiable Records: Deleted from active databases upon verified user request, except where retention is legally mandated.	• Local Data: Clear App storage via `Settings` → `Apps` → `[App Name]` → `Clear Data`, or uninstall the App. • Server/Account Data: Submit a deletion request to `destinyminji03@outlook.com`.

8. International Data Transfers

Because our infrastructure and integrated third-party partners operate globally, data collected through our Apps may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your country of residence (including Singapore, the United States, and the People’s Republic of China).

When transferring data originating from the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Switzerland to third countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are implemented, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or relying on adequacy decisions.
