Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Universal DVD Player Remote ("the app", "we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the app.
1. What the App Does
Universal DVD Player Remote is a utility app that helps users browse supported infrared remote profiles and send IR commands to DVD players and other compatible infrared devices from phones that include an IR blaster.
The app may also fetch remote profile data, app configuration, privacy policy links, and advertising content needed for normal operation.
2. Information We Collect
We do not intentionally collect personal information directly from you through the app.
The app may process limited technical information that is necessary for app functionality, including:
- device and app technical details needed to run the app and load content;
- network request data such as IP address, request metadata, and response information;
- temporary app settings stored locally on your device, such as sound and vibration preferences;
- advertising identifiers, diagnostics, and ad interaction data processed by third-party advertising providers.
3. How We Use Information
We use information only as needed to support app functionality, including to:
- load remote profile data and app configuration;
- detect and use supported infrared hardware on your device;
- store and apply your sound and vibration preferences locally on your device;
- display ads and manage ad loading behavior;
- open external links when you choose to do so, such as the privacy policy link.
4. Permissions and Device Features
The Android app currently declares these permissions and features:
- INTERNET: used to fetch configuration, remote profile data, and advertising content.
- TRANSMIT_IR: used to send infrared commands from compatible devices.
- VIBRATE: used to provide haptic feedback if enabled.
- consumer IR hardware feature: used to support phones that include an IR blaster.
5. Advertising
The app uses Google Mobile Ads / AdMob. Google and its partners may collect or process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, diagnostics, app interactions, and approximate location derived from IP address, subject to their own privacy terms.
Learn more at Google Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Services and Content Sources
To operate, the app may connect to third-party services or hosting providers that deliver remote profile files, configuration data, privacy policy links, or advertising content. These providers may receive standard technical information as part of normal internet communication.
For example, the app may request remote profile data hosted through public content sources, app configuration hosted by our content delivery providers, and ads served by Google Mobile Ads / AdMob.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared only when necessary to operate the app, such as with ad providers, hosting providers, and service providers that help deliver app functionality.
8. Data Retention
We do not maintain user account records for this app. Temporary app settings and app state may remain on your device unless you clear app data or uninstall the app. Third-party providers may retain technical or advertising-related data according to their own policies.
9. Children's Privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Security
We use reasonable measures to support the app and related services, but no method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure.
11. Your Choices
You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. You may also clear app data to remove locally stored settings, and you may control certain advertising and privacy choices through your device settings and any controls made available by third-party providers.
12. International Use
Because third-party services may operate from different countries, technical information processed through those services may be handled on servers outside your local jurisdiction.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of this page.
14. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the app publisher through the contact method provided on the app's store listing or official support page.
