• Motion calculations are performed locally on your device.

• Sensor readings are processed temporarily in memory.

• Sensor data is not intentionally stored by the App.

• Sensor data is not transmitted to our servers.

• The App does not use the accelerometer to determine your location. 

6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND ADVERTISING

The App uses third-party services to provide advertising and privacy-consent functionality.

GOOGLE ADMOB

Provider: Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited

Purpose:

To display in-app advertisements, including banner and interstitial advertisements, and support advertising measurement and fraud prevention.

AdMob may process information such as:

• Advertising ID

• IP address

• Device information

• Advertising interaction information

• Ad performance and diagnostic information

Google Privacy Policy:

[https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

Google Advertising Technologies:

[https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads)

GOOGLE USER MESSAGING PLATFORM (UMP)

Provider: Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited

Purpose:

To provide privacy and advertising consent management where required by applicable laws and regulations.

UMP may be used to obtain and manage user choices regarding personalized and non-personalized advertising.

Where available in the App, users can review or modify their advertising and privacy choices through:

Settings → Privacy & Ad Consent 

7. ADVERTISING CONSENT AND LEGAL BASIS

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions where consent is required, advertising-related processing may be based on your consent or another legally permitted basis.

Where applicable:

• Personalized advertising may require your consent.

• Non-personalized advertising may be provided where legally permitted.

• Consent choices are managed through Google UMP.

• You may withdraw or modify your consent where the applicable controls are available.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawfully performed before consent was withdrawn. 

8. US PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding personal information processed by third-party advertising providers.

These rights may include:

• Right to Know: Request information about categories of information processed.

• Right to Access: Request access to applicable personal information.

• Right to Delete: Request deletion of applicable personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

• Right to Opt Out: Opt out of certain targeted advertising or sharing activities where applicable.

• Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

Because the App does not maintain user accounts or a proprietary backend containing user personal information, we do not maintain a central database of user personal information.

You may also manage advertising preferences through your Android device settings and the privacy controls provided within the App. 

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Touch Lock: Disable Touch is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children through its own servers because the App does not operate a proprietary backend for collecting user personal information.

Third-party advertising services integrated into the App may have their own requirements and policies concerning children and advertising.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through a third-party service used by the App, please contact us using the contact information provided below. 

10. DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY

LOCAL APP DATA

THIRD-PARTY DATA

Information processed by Google AdMob, Google UMP, Google Play Services, or other third-party services is handled according to their respective privacy policies and retention practices.

SECURITY

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App.

The App does not intentionally transmit the locally stored preferences or accelerometer data described in this Privacy Policy to our own servers.

Network communications performed by integrated third-party services may use encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections.
