This Privacy Policy & Disclaimer (the "Policy") describes how JpCrow Apps ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the mobile applications we publish on Google Play and other distribution channels (the "Apps").
Data Controller: JpCrow Apps · Contact: jpcrowapps@gmail.com.
We act as the controller only for the limited data described in §3. Google, Firebase, and other processors listed in §4 act as independent controllers or processors for the data they collect through their SDKs, under their own privacy policies.
This Policy applies to all Apps published under the developer name JpCrow/JpCrow Apps on Google Play, including (without limitation) our news-aggregator Apps for various countries, our word-of-the-day Apps, and our casual games and utility Apps. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or articles you may access through the Apps; those are governed by the privacy policies of their respective operators.
We do not directly collect personal data. We have no user accounts, no login system, no servers that store identifiable user information, and no profiles associated with you.
The third-party SDKs we integrate (see §4) may automatically collect:
This information is processed by those providers as independent controllers under their own privacy notices and contractual terms with us.
The Apps integrate the following services. We do not sell data to any of them; data is exchanged automatically by their SDKs as described in their own policies.
| Service | Purpose | Provider & Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (and mediation networks) | Displaying ads, measuring ad performance, fraud prevention. | Google LLC · Ads policy |
| Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) | Collecting consent for personalized ads in regions that require it (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Brazil, US states). | Google LLC · UMP info |
| Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics | Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports to improve stability. | Google LLC · Firebase privacy |
| Google Play Services | Core platform services, license verification, in-app updates. | Google LLC · Google Privacy Policy |
Our Apps request only the permissions strictly required to function. Typical permissions include:
We do not request access to your contacts, microphone, camera, precise location, SMS, call logs, or storage of personal files.
Within in-app web views and our advertising SDKs, cookies, local storage entries, and device identifiers may be set by third parties to enable ads, frequency capping, and fraud detection. We do not set first-party cookies tied to your identity.
Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, the legal bases for any processing carried out via our Apps are:
Our processors (notably Google) may transfer and process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Such transfers are covered by Google's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. By using the Apps, you acknowledge such cross-border processing.
We do not retain personal data ourselves. Retention of data processed by third-party SDKs is governed by their own policies (e.g., Google Analytics retention settings are configured to the minimum allowed by the platform, typically 2 months for event-level data unless required for fraud prevention).
Depending on your country of residence, applicable data-protection law may grant you some or all of the following rights in relation to personal data processed about you through our Apps:
Send a written request to jpcrowapps@gmail.com describing the right you wish to exercise and providing reasonable information to verify your request. Because we do not hold identifiable user data, our response will typically consist of (a) confirming that no such data is held by us, and/or (b) directing you to the relevant third-party controller (e.g., Google) for requests concerning data they hold. We will respond within the period required by applicable law (generally 30 days under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA). We may refuse manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests to the extent permitted by law.
The Apps are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so we can act accordingly. Our Apps comply with Google Play's Families and Designed-for-Families policies where applicable.
We follow industry-standard measures for the limited data we handle: HTTPS for all network communication with publishers and ad networks, signed app releases through Google Play App Signing, minimal data scope, and prompt patching of dependencies. No system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The news Apps display headlines, thumbnails, and short excerpts from publicly available news websites for informational and educational purposes only. All news content, logos, trademarks, and intellectual property belong exclusively to their respective publishers.
To deliver a faster and cleaner reading experience, the Apps may apply limited technical optimizations (such as deferring heavy scripts, trackers, or redundant advertising scripts) when loading third-party pages. These optimizations do not modify the original editorial content. Users are always able to open the original publisher's URL in their default browser to access the full and unaltered article.
All trademarks, service marks, and logos displayed in the Apps are used solely for identification purposes under the doctrine of nominative fair use. Their respective owners retain full rights. JpCrow Apps has no affiliation or endorsement relationship with any of the publishers whose content appears in the Apps.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Apps, all content delivered through them, and all related services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. JpCrow Apps expressly disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability, security, and freedom from viruses or other harmful components. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from JpCrow Apps shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
You acknowledge that the Apps display links and previews to third-party content over which JpCrow Apps has no editorial control, and you assume all risk associated with accessing such content. You are solely responsible for your interactions with third-party publishers, advertisers, and websites.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall JpCrow Apps, its developer(s), affiliates, agents, contractors, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including (without limitation) loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunities, or substitute services, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Apps or any third-party content, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if JpCrow Apps has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the extent any liability cannot lawfully be excluded, the aggregate liability of JpCrow Apps to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Apps shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to JpCrow Apps in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 10. You acknowledge that the Apps are provided free of charge and that this allocation of risk is a material basis for our offering them to you.
JpCrow Apps is in no event responsible for the accuracy, legality, reliability, completeness, timeliness, or availability of third-party content or services. All responsibility for editorial content lies with the original publisher.
Time-bar. Any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or relating to the Apps or this Policy must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it shall be permanently barred, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JpCrow Apps, its developer(s), affiliates, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Apps; (b) your violation of this Policy or of any applicable law; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, publicity, or privacy right; or (d) any content you submit, share, or transmit through or in connection with the Apps. JpCrow Apps reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.
By installing and using the Apps, you acknowledge this Policy and consent to the processing of anonymous data by the third-party services described above, subject to the regional consent dialog where required. You may withdraw consent at any time by uninstalling the Apps or by re-opening the in-app consent dialog.
This Policy and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, or to your use of the Apps, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Argentine Republic, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
You and JpCrow Apps agree that the ordinary courts sitting in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not subject to mandatory arbitration or to a non-waivable consumer-protection forum in your country of residence. You waive any objection to the laying of venue and any defense of inconvenient forum.
Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at jpcrowapps@gmail.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for a period of at least sixty (60) days.
Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and JpCrow Apps agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Where this waiver is not enforceable, the claim shall proceed in the courts identified above but not as a class action.
Nothing in this section limits the mandatory rights granted to you as a consumer under the law of your habitual residence where such rights cannot be waived by contract.
Severability. If any provision of this Policy is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if that is not possible, severed from this Policy; the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this Policy shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
Entire agreement. This Policy, together with any in-app notices and consent dialogs, constitutes the entire agreement between you and JpCrow Apps concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Policy. JpCrow Apps may assign its rights and obligations under this Policy without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. JpCrow Apps shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party-service outages, pandemics, or natural disasters.
We may update this Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Material changes will be reflected via the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Apps after an update constitutes binding acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, your sole remedy is to uninstall the Apps.
