SMARTWHO | Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SMARTWHO Inc. ("the Company") handles your information across all of our mobile applications. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is managed.

SMARTWHO Inc. strictly complies with applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA, US), and other relevant regulations.

1. No Personal Data Collection

SMARTWHO apps do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or contact details.
Our apps do not require account registration or login to use their core features.
By default, no personal information is stored on our servers, and core features operate locally on your device. The only exception is an optional feature that you switch on yourself, such as the World Ranking leaderboard in Pedometer - Step Counter: while it is enabled, the data listed in that app's addendum at the end of this page is stored on our Firebase backend, and turning the feature off deletes it.
Ad-supported apps use third-party advertising and analytics SDKs that may collect device and advertising identifiers, location, and app activity, as described in the Advertising and Third-Party SDKs section below.

Advertising and Third-Party SDKs

Ad-supported SMARTWHO apps use Google AdMob and mediation partners (Meta, Pangle, InMobi, Mintegral, Unity Ads, Vungle/Liftoff).
These SDKs may collect and share approximate and precise location, device and advertising identifiers, and app activity and diagnostics to serve ads and measure performance.
All data is encrypted in transit, and we do not sell your personal data.
You can reset your Advertising ID in device settings; users in the EEA can manage ad consent within the app (Google UMP); uninstalling the app stops further data collection.

2. Google Drive Integration

Google API Disclosure

How SMARTWHO Apps Use Google Drive

Certain SMARTWHO apps (such as File Manager - Cleaner & Cloud) offer an optional Google Drive integration feature. This section describes how we access, use, store, and share your Google data.

Scope of Access: We use the drive.file scope, which only grants access to files that you create or upload through our apps. We cannot access, view, or modify any other files in your Google Drive.
Purpose of Access: Google Drive access is used solely to:
- Upload files from your device to Google Drive
- Download files that were uploaded through our apps
- Create and manage folders within the app's scope
- Rename, move, or delete files uploaded through our apps
Data Storage: File metadata (names, sizes, modification dates) may be cached locally on your device for performance. No Google Drive data is transmitted to or stored on any external server.
Data Sharing: Your Google Drive data is never shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third parties, including advertising platforms, analytics providers, or data brokers.
Data Retention: Locally cached Google Drive data is automatically cleared when you sign out of Google, disconnect the app, or uninstall the app.
User Control: You can disconnect your Google account at any time through the app's settings. You may also revoke access via your Google Account permissions page.

Google API Services User Data Policy Compliance

SMARTWHO's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:

We only use Google data to provide and improve the file management features visible in the app.
We do not use Google data for advertising, retargeting, or building user profiles.
We do not transfer Google data to third parties except as necessary to provide the app's features, with user consent, or as required by law.
We do not use Google data to train generalized AI or machine learning models.
No human reads your Google data unless you provide explicit consent, it is necessary for security purposes, or it is required by law.

3. OneDrive Integration

How SMARTWHO Apps Use OneDrive

Certain SMARTWHO apps (such as File Manager - Cleaner & Cloud) offer an optional Microsoft OneDrive integration feature. This section describes how we access, use, store, and share your OneDrive data.

Scope of Access: We use the Files.ReadWrite and User.Read permissions to access files and folders on your OneDrive and read basic profile information.
Purpose of Access: OneDrive access is used solely to:
- Upload files from your device to OneDrive
- Download files from OneDrive to your device
- Create, rename, move, and delete files and folders
- Display your account name and storage usage
Authentication: Uses Microsoft's official OAuth 2.0 sign-in. Your Microsoft password is never shared with or stored by our apps.
Data Storage: File metadata (names, sizes, modification dates) may be cached locally on your device for performance. No OneDrive data is transmitted to or stored on any external server.
Data Sharing: Your OneDrive data is never shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third parties.
Data Retention: Locally cached OneDrive data is automatically cleared when you sign out of your Microsoft account or uninstall the app.
User Control: You can disconnect your Microsoft account at any time through the app. You may also revoke access via your Microsoft account privacy settings.

4. No Automatic Tracking

Our apps do not use cookies, web beacons, advertising identifiers, or any technologies designed to automatically collect personal data.
No cross-app or cross-site tracking is performed.

5. Third-Party Services

SMARTWHO does not share your data with external vendors, advertising networks, or data brokers.
Our apps use Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to collect anonymized usage statistics and crash reports. This data includes:
- App usage events (anonymized)
- Device information (model, OS version)
- Crash and error logs
This anonymized data is used solely for improving app quality and diagnosing issues. It cannot be used to identify individual users.
Advertising is served through Google AdMob. Ad-related data is managed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Users can manage ad personalization via their Android device's Google account or device settings (e.g., reset advertising ID, limit personalized ads).

Pedometer-specific privacy addendum

This addendum applies only to Pedometer - Step Counter. If it conflicts with a general statement elsewhere on this page, this addendum controls for this app.

com.smartwho.pedometer

Steps, distance, calories, walk sessions, weight/BMI, water, goals and settings are stored on the device. Android automatic backup may copy the database and settings to the user’s Google account for restoration. Health Connect is optional: with separately granted permissions, the app writes steps, walking sessions and manually entered weight and reads weight records. It does not read steps or re-publish imported weight. Health Connect data is not sent to our server or used for advertising.
World Ranking is optional and off by default. If joined, Firebase receives a random anonymous ID, chosen nickname, step totals and a derived score for public daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards. Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics process app interactions, device information, diagnostics and crash reports. Google AdMob and mediation partners may process advertising/device identifiers, approximate location, app activity and diagnostics according to consent and device settings. SMARTWHO does not sell this data.
Users can delete local records, leave World Ranking, revoke individual Health Connect permissions, manage Android backup, or clear/uninstall the app. Leaving the ranking deletes its server entry and retries later if offline. Deleting all records also requests deletion of Health Connect records written by this app; records from other apps are not deleted. Health information is for personal tracking, not medical advice or diagnosis.
