Appsidio (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the Business Startup Ideas mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you use the App.
By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
The App does not directly collect or require you to provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, contacts, or precise location.
However, the App uses third-party services, including Google Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob, which may automatically collect certain information when you use the App.
Analytics Information
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the App and to improve its functionality and user experience.
Firebase Analytics may automatically collect information such as:
- App interactions and usage events
- Screens or features viewed
- Session information
- Approximate location
- Device type and operating system
- App version
- Advertising identifiers or similar device identifiers
- Information about how the App is used
The information collected by Firebase Analytics is generally aggregated and used to understand App usage, identify trends, and improve the App.
Advertising Information
The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.
AdMob may collect and process information such as:
- Advertising ID
- Device information
- IP address
- Approximate location
- Advertising and interaction information
- Information about advertisements displayed or interacted with
This information may be used to provide, measure, and personalize advertising, depending on the user’s device settings, applicable laws, and Google’s advertising policies.
2. Local Data Stored on Your Device
The App stores a small amount of information locally on your device to remember your preferences and activity.
This may include:
favorite_idea_ids— the list of startup ideas you have marked as favorites
This locally stored information is not intentionally transmitted to or stored on our own servers.
You can delete locally stored App data at any time by clearing the App’s data through your device settings or by uninstalling the App.
3. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
Google Firebase Analytics
Firebase Analytics is provided by Google LLC and is used to collect analytics information about App usage.
Google AdMob
Google AdMob is provided by Google LLC and is used to display advertisements within the App.
These third-party providers may collect information from your device in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. Advertising Choices
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have choices regarding personalized advertising.
You can also manage advertising-related settings through your Android device’s settings, including resetting or limiting the use of your advertising identifier where supported.
Advertisements displayed in the App may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your settings, consent status, location, and applicable requirements.
5. Permissions
The App does not request runtime permissions to access your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or other sensitive device features.
Third-party services used by the App may automatically receive certain technical information from your device as described above.
6. Children’s Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
However, because the App uses third-party services such as Google Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob, those services may process certain device or usage information.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information associated with the App. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
Information collected by third-party services is handled according to the security practices and policies of those providers.
8. Data Retention
Locally stored App data remains on your device until you delete the App’s data or uninstall the App.
Analytics and advertising data collected by third-party services is retained and processed according to the respective policies and retention practices of those providers.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, delete, or restrict the processing of your information.
Because analytics and advertising data may be collected directly by third-party providers, requests concerning such data may need to be directed to the relevant provider.
You may contact us using the information below if you have questions about how the App handles data.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the Effective Date at the top of this page.
