Privacy Policy

1Information we collect

a. Information you provide

• Purchases. If you buy a subscription or lifetime plan, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. We receive purchase status (e.g. active / expired) but never your full card details.
• Feedback. If you send feedback, the app opens your own email app (Gmail) pre-filled with your message. You choose to send it; it comes from your email address.

b. Information collected automatically

• Analytics, crash, and performance data via Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Performance Monitoring — e.g. app events, screen views, device model, OS version, app version, crash stack traces, and performance traces. This helps us fix bugs and improve the app.
• Remote Config values are fetched from Firebase to toggle features.

c. Information stored only on your device

• Saved TVs. TV names, IP addresses, device identifiers, your chosen profile names, and remote-mode preferences are stored in local app storage on your device so the app can reconnect and switch between TVs. This is not uploaded to us.
• App preferences (language, selected remote mode, pro status).

d. Microphone / voice

2Permissions and why we need them

You can revoke permissions any time in Android Settings. Revoking microphone disables voice; revoking network / local-network access disables TV discovery and control.

3How we use information

• Operate the core function: discover, pair with, and control your TVs.
• Remember your TVs and preferences so you can switch between them.
• Diagnose crashes and improve performance and features.
• Process and restore purchases.
• Understand aggregate, anonymous usage to prioritize improvements.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for third-party advertising. The app currently shows no ads.

Future advertising. If we introduce advertising in a future update, we will update this policy first to disclose the ad partners and the data involved (e.g. advertising ID), and we will request consent where required (e.g. EEA / UK).

4Sharing and third parties

We don't run our own servers. The third parties that process data on our behalf:

• Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance, Remote Config) — see Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Play Billing — for purchases and subscription status.

Your TV control traffic and voice audio go directly between your phone and your TV over your local network, not through us.

We may disclose information if required by law.

5Data retention

• On-device data (saved TVs, preferences) stays until you delete a TV in Settings → Saved TVs, clear app data, or uninstall.
• Firebase analytics / crash data is retained per Google Firebase's default retention settings.
• Voice audio is not retained by us at all.

6Children's privacy

QuickMote is a utility app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.

7Your choices and rights

• Microphone: revoke anytime to disable voice.
• Analytics: you can limit ad / analytics identifiers in Android Settings.
• Delete data: remove saved TVs in-app, or clear app data / uninstall to remove on-device data.
• Purchases: manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play.
• Access / erasure requests: email us at farhan5478@gmail.com.

Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR / CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data; contact us to exercise them.

8Security

We rely on Android's app sandbox and Google's secured services (Firebase, Play Billing). Local control traffic stays on your Wi-Fi network. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit what we collect and avoid running our own data stores.

9Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. We'll update the “Effective date” above and, for material changes, surface a notice in the app or store listing.
