Drowse ("we", "our", or "the app") is an ambient sound mixer for sleep and focus. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information.

Drowse does not require account creation, login, email, name, or any personal identifiers. The app works entirely offline.

Data stored locally on your device:

• Your last active sound mix (sound selections and volume levels)
• Your last selected timer duration

This data is stored using your device's local storage (SharedPreferences) and is never transmitted to any server.

2. Third-Party Services

Google AdMob: Drowse displays banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob. Google may collect certain data for ad personalization and analytics purposes. This may include:

• Device identifiers (Advertising ID)
• IP address
• General location (country/region level)
• App usage data for ad serving

Google's data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

• No names, emails, or personal identifiers
• No precise location data
• No microphone or camera access
• No contacts or phone data
• No usage analytics or tracking (beyond what AdMob collects)
• No server-side data storage

4. Children's Privacy

Drowse is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. The app contains advertisements served by Google AdMob which comply with COPPA regulations.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect or transmit personal data, there is no risk of data breach from our end. All user preferences are stored locally on your device and are deleted when you uninstall the app.

6. Your Rights

• Opt out of personalized ads: Go to your device's privacy settings and disable ad personalization.
