Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the websites, mobile applications and digital services published or operated by Yani Technologies Inc. that link to this policy (the “Services”). Because our portfolio includes several applications, the data practices described below vary according to the Service, its features, the user’s region, age and settings.

When this policy says that a Service “may” process information, that processing occurs only when the relevant application includes or activates that feature. An application-specific notice, consent screen or Google Play Data safety section may supplement this policy. If a more specific notice provides additional information for an application, that notice applies to that application.

Application-specific notices: Smart Storage Cleaner, SQL Interview Lab, Data Engineer Interview Lab and Data Analyst Interview Lab.

2. Information you provide

Depending on the Service, we may receive information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, account details, profile information, support request, form submission, user-generated content or other information required for a feature you request. On the corporate website, the contact form may collect your name, email address, company, subject and message.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the requested feature and the application clearly asks for it.

3. Technical information and permissions

Depending on the Service and its configuration, technical information may include the device model, operating system and version, application version, language, timestamps, network information, IP address, app-instance or installation identifiers, usage events, and information about application performance.

A Service may request Android permissions only when required for a feature. The permission prompt or an in-app notice explains the relevant purpose. You can manage permissions in the device settings, although disabling one may prevent the related feature from working.

4. How information is used

We use information as reasonably necessary to:

• provide requested features, accounts, content and support;
• operate, secure and improve the Services;
• measure feature usage and application performance;
• diagnose crashes, errors and reliability issues;
• display and measure advertising where an application includes ads;
• verify purchases, subscriptions or entitlements; and
• prevent fraud, enforce our terms and meet legal obligations.

5. Service providers and disclosures

We may use service providers to operate the relevant Service. They can include Render for website hosting, Zoho Mail for business communications, and Google services such as Firebase, Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, Google AdMob, Google Play, Google Play services and Google Play Billing. A particular provider processes information only when it is used by the relevant Service.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy and the Firebase privacy and security documentation. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect users or the Services, or as part of a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

6. Information that stays on the device

Some applications may store preferences, progress, downloaded content, calculations, drafts or cached data only on the user’s device. Information that remains exclusively on the device and is never transmitted to us or a third-party service is not collected by Yani Technologies Inc. It usually remains until the user clears the application data or uninstalls the application, subject to the device’s backup settings.

This local-storage statement does not apply when a feature synchronizes, backs up, shares or otherwise sends the information off the device. Each application’s Google Play Data safety disclosure must reflect its actual behaviour and included SDKs.

7. Advertising and advertising identifiers

Some free applications may display advertising through Google AdMob. When used, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect or share an IP address, product interactions such as app launches, taps or video views, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. An IP address may be used to estimate a general location.

An application may declare the Android advertising ID permission (AD_ID) when this is permitted and necessary for its advertising configuration. The advertising ID is resettable and can be reset or deleted in Android privacy settings. Depending on consent, age, region and application settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. See Google’s Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure for details.

8. Analytics and crash reporting

Some applications may use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure events such as first launch, sessions, screens viewed, feature interactions and general engagement. Depending on configuration, Analytics may process app-instance identifiers and technical information such as the application version, device type, operating system, language and approximate region. We use these reports to understand and improve the Service, not to read the private content stored locally on a device.

Some applications may use Firebase Crashlytics to diagnose crashes, non-fatal errors and application-not-responding events. Crash reports may contain stack traces, relevant application state, device metadata, application version, crash timestamp, Crashlytics installation UUID and Firebase installation ID. We do not intentionally add message content, passwords or other sensitive user content to crash reports. See the official Firebase Android data disclosure.

9. Purchases and Google Play Billing

If an application offers a paid item or subscription, the transaction may be processed through Google Play Billing. Google processes the user’s Google account and payment information under its own privacy policy. Yani Technologies Inc. may receive a transaction identifier, product or subscription purchased, purchase status and limited transaction details needed to provide the entitlement, prevent fraud, issue support and maintain accounting records. We do not receive the user’s complete payment-card number from Google Play.

10. Children and families

Each application’s Google Play listing identifies its intended age group. When a Service is directed to children or families, we apply age-appropriate data practices and seek parental consent where required by law. For child-directed use, personalized advertising is disabled, unnecessary data collection is limited, the Android advertising ID is not requested or transmitted, and advertising SDKs are used only as permitted by the Google Play Families Policies.

Applications intended for general or adult audiences should not be used by children below the age stated in their store listing without the involvement of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian can contact us to ask about or request deletion of a child’s information where applicable.

11. Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including support, security, service delivery, accounting and legal obligations. Information stored only on a device generally remains until the application data is cleared or the application is uninstalled.

Provider retention periods depend on the service and configuration. Google currently states that Crashlytics retains crash traces and associated identifiers for 90 days before beginning removal; standard Google Analytics properties allow user-level and event-level retention settings of 2 or 14 months, while aggregated reports may be retained longer; and AdMob currently retains User Activity reports for 90 days and certain advertising reports for up to 2,555 days. Provider policies can change, and their current documentation governs their processing.

12. Your choices and rights

Depending on the Service and your location, you may:

• accept, reject or revise advertising and analytics consent where a consent form is offered;
• manage application permissions and notifications in Android settings;
• reset or delete the Android advertising ID and adjust ad-personalization settings;
• clear locally stored application data or uninstall the application;
• use an in-app or web account-deletion method where the Service supports accounts; and
• request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements.
