This Privacy Policy explains how Android Development Studio (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information from visitors (“you”) to our website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy. By using our site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

• Personal Data: We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. For example, if you contact us via email or comment on a post, we may collect your name, email address, or other contact details. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiries or moderate comments.
• Usage Data: When you visit our site, certain non-personal information may be collected automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of access. We use this data to understand how users interact with our site and to improve our content and user experience.
• Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are set by us, and some may be set by third-party services. These technologies help us remember preferences and analyze site traffic. Third-party services such as Google AdSense and Google Analytics also use cookies on our site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes:

• To Operate and Improve the Site: We process usage data to analyze trends and performance, helping us improve site content, functionality, and user experience.
• To Communicate: If you contact us or provide your email, we may use that information to respond to you. We will not send you promotional emails unless you have subscribed to a newsletter (if we offer one).
• For Analytics: We use third-party analytics (Google Analytics 4) to understand how users engage with our site, such as which pages are most visited, so we can make informed decisions about content.
• For Advertising: We display ads through third-party ad networks (like Google AdSense) to support our site. Ad networks may use collected data to show you relevant advertisements.
• To Ensure Security and Prevent Misuse: We may use information (like IP addresses) to help diagnose technical issues, prevent malicious activity, and maintain the security of our website.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies allow us and our partners to remember your preferences and recognize repeat visitors. For example, a cookie might save your display preferences (like dark mode or font size) so you don’t have to set them each time. We also use cookies for analytics and advertising as described below. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies or delete existing cookies. However, please note that if you disable cookies, some features of our site may not function properly (for instance, certain preferences might not be saved).

Third-Party Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our site, such as the pages you visit and the time you spend on them. The information generated by these cookies (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers which may be located outside your country (e.g., in the United States). Google Analytics provides us with aggregated insights — the data is collected in an anonymized format so that it does not identify individual users. We use these insights to understand website traffic and improve our services. Google does not provide us with personally identifiable information about you, and we do not combine the analytics information with any personal data you may provide us.

Your Choices for Analytics: If you do not want Google Analytics to collect data from your browser, you have the option to install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This tool, provided by Google, prevents your browser from sending visit data to Google Analytics. Using our site without opting out will be considered as consent to the processing of your data by Google for analytics in the manner described above.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Our website uses Google AdSense (or similar ad networks) to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons) to help display ads that are relevant to you. These cookies may track information about your visits to this site and other websites in order to show you tailored advertisements on this site and across the Internet. For example, if you have visited sites about Android development, you may see technology-related ads on our website.

The information collected through AdSense cookies and web beacons (which can include your IP address and information about your browser) may be transmitted to Google’s servers and analyzed. This data helps measure the effectiveness of ads and allows Google and its partners to provide advertisements about goods and services that might interest you. Please note that this information may be stored on Google’s servers in the United States. According to Google, your IP address is not associated with any other data held by Google, meaning while ads are personalized, they do not give us access to your personal identity.

Ad Personalization and Choices: Google and its third-party partners may use the AdSense data to serve you personalized ads based on your browsing history. If you prefer to opt out of personalized advertising, you can do so by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page or using tools like the WebChoices online opt-out tool. Note that even if you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see advertisements; they just won’t be tailored to your interests. We do not have access to the detailed information that Google collects for ads, nor do we collect personal information through AdSense. We simply receive reports such as the number of ad impressions and clicks.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We value your privacy. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share information in the following circumstances:

• With Service Providers: We may share data with third-party service providers that help us operate the website (for example, Google Analytics and AdSense, as described above). These providers have access to information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency). We may also disclose information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to investigate or prevent violations of law or our Terms and Conditions, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our team, users, or others.
• Business Transfers: (Currently not applicable as we are a small personal blog, but for transparency) if we ever decide to transfer or merge our website with another, user information might be among the transferred assets. If such a situation arises, we will notify users as required.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide to us from unauthorized access or disclosure. Our site is hosted on secure servers and we implement standard security practices to guard against data breaches. However, please understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to use caution when sharing information online.

International Users

Our website is operated from any where and may be accessed by users around the world. If you are visiting our site from outside our operating country, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own (for example, data collected by Google Analytics or AdSense may be processed on U.S. servers). By using our site, you consent to such cross-border data transfers. We will handle your information as described in this Privacy Policy regardless of the country in which it is processed.

Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Correction: You may contact us to inquire about any personal data we hold about you and request corrections of any inaccuracies.
• Deletion: If you have provided personal information (for example, through a comment or email) and would like it removed, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to delete it, unless we are required to keep it for legal reasons.
• Opt-Out: As mentioned, you can opt out of certain data collection (like Google Analytics or personalized ads) using the methods provided above. You can also typically adjust your browser settings to block cookies (though this may affect site functionality).

Please note that while we will make efforts to accommodate requests regarding personal data, some residual data may remain in backup copies or logs to the extent permitted by law.

Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us. We will promptly delete such information from our records.

If we make significant changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the site after any modifications to the Privacy Policy will signify your acceptance of the changes.
