Privacy Policy - Atomic Sync: Radio Watch Time

1. Introduction

Welcome to Atomic Sync: Radio Watch Time ("the App"). This policy explains how we handle information in connection with the App, including advertising through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and your rights. We aim to be transparent and to meet the expectations of app stores and privacy laws.

2. Data You Enter in the App

• Local processing: Preferences, reminder schedules, NTP offset cache, and similar settings are stored on your device. We do not operate a login system inside the App and do not require you to upload that data to our servers for core functionality.
• Time and audio: The App may use network time (NTP) and device audio output to emulate radio time signals. That processing stays on the device except as described for ads below.

3. Advertising & Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

To support a free App, we integrate the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). Google and its partners may collect and process data as described in Google's Privacy Policy and AdMob-related disclosures. Under applicable law you must be informed that such collection can occur when you use the App.

• Categories of data: This may include, among others, IP address, mobile advertising identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID or Apple IDFA, where available), device and app characteristics, general location (e.g. country or region), app usage signals related to ads (e.g. impressions and interactions), and data used for fraud prevention, measurement, and ad delivery.
• Consent & choices (UMP): Where required (including the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) or equivalent certified flows. You can review or change your choices in the App's settings and through your device's privacy controls for advertising.
• Legal basis: For personalized advertising where the law requires consent, we rely on your consent obtained through that flow; for strictly necessary operations (such as security or non‑personalized ad delivery where permitted), we rely on legitimate interests or other bases as allowed by law.

4. Data Deletion & User Rights

We do not maintain user accounts in the App. Advertising-related data is controlled largely by Google and its ad partners.

• Device controls: Reset your advertising ID or enable limited ad tracking in your device settings (Android: Google Ads settings; iOS: Privacy & Security → Tracking / Apple Advertising).
• Requests: For privacy requests about data processed through Google ads products, refer to Google's help and privacy tools. For anything specific to our role as publisher, contact us via the feedback options on the Qalc.ai website; we will respond within a reasonable time.

5. Children

The App is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required for personalized ads in your region. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided information in violation of this policy, please contact us via Qalc.ai.

6. International Transfers

Google and ad partners may process data in countries outside your own. Their processing is governed by their policies and appropriate safeguards where required by law.

7. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. The "Last Updated" date at the top will change when we do; continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where allowed by law.
