Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Universal Remote: TV & AC ("we," "our," or "the App") handles information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 No Personal Information Collection

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information from you. This includes:

• No names, email addresses, or contact information
• No location data or GPS information
• No device identifiers or advertising IDs
• No usage analytics or tracking data
• No payment or billing information
• No user accounts or login credentials

1.2 Local Device Storage

The App stores the following information locally on your device only:

• Device Preferences: Your saved TV and AC remote configurations (brand names, device settings)
• Room Organization: Room names and device assignments you create
• App Settings: Your personal app preferences and configurations

Important: All this data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third parties. This data is only accessible to you and the App on your device.

2. Permissions We Request

2.1 Infrared (IR) Blaster Permission

The App requires the TRANSMIT_IR permission to function. This permission allows the App to:

• Send infrared signals to control your TV and air conditioner
• Function as a remote control replacement

This permission does not allow us to:

• Access any personal information
• Monitor or record any data
• Transmit any information from your device

The IR blaster is used solely for sending control commands to your devices and nothing else.

2.2 Network State Permission

The App uses the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission to check if your device has internet connectivity. This is used for:

• Determining if network features are available (if any are added in future updates)

This permission does not allow us to access your network data or browsing history.

2.3 Internet Permission

The App includes the INTERNET permission for potential future features. Currently, the App works completely offline and does not use this permission to transmit any data.

3. How We Use Information

Since we do not collect any personal information, there is no information to use, share, or sell. The App operates entirely on your device using locally stored data.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties because:

• We do not collect any information
• All data is stored locally on your device
• The App works completely offline

5. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any third-party services that collect personal information. The App is designed to work independently without requiring external services.

6. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Your data is protected by your device's built-in security features
• We recommend using device lock screens and encryption features
• If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is automatically deleted

7. Children's Privacy

The App is suitable for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The App does not require user registration or account creation, making it safe for all users.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

All data stored by the App is retained on your device until:

• You manually delete it through the App's settings
• You uninstall the App (which automatically deletes all App data)
• You clear the App's data through your device settings

We do not retain any data on our servers because we do not have servers that collect your data.

9. Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is accessible through the App on your device
• Deletion: You can delete any saved devices or data at any time through the App
• Uninstall: Uninstalling the App removes all associated data
• No Tracking: We do not track you, so there is no tracking to opt-out of

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• Notify users through the App or Google Play Store listing

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

11. Compliance

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with:

• Google Play Store Developer Policy
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
