Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Collection Port ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the Collection Port mobile application (the "App") on Android. Please read it carefully.

1. Who We Are

Collection Port is developed and maintained by an independent developer. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, you can reach us at:

Email: anubys383@gmail.com

2. Information We Collect

2.1 User-Generated Content (Stored Locally)

Collection Port is a local, offline-first application. All data you create inside the App — including collections, records, fields, templates, images, and attachments — is stored only on your device using a local database (Room/SQLite) and app-private file storage. This data:

  • Is never transmitted to our servers.
  • Is not accessible by us or any third party.
  • Remains under your full control and can be exported or deleted at any time through the App.

2.2 Advertising Data (Google AdMob)

The free version of the App displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. In order to serve ads, Google may collect and use the following information:

  • Advertising ID (AD_ID): A resettable, anonymous identifier provided by your Android device used to personalise and measure advertising.
  • IP address and approximate location (derived from IP).
  • Device information (e.g. device model, OS version, language).
  • Interaction data (e.g. ad impressions, clicks).

This data is collected and processed by Google LLC under their own privacy policy. You can review it at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt out of interest-based advertising or reset your Advertising ID at any time via: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads

2.3 In-App Purchase Data (Google Play Billing)

The App offers an optional "Full" in-app purchase that unlocks premium features and removes ads. All payment transactions are processed exclusively by Google Play and are subject to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We do not collect, store, or process your payment card details or billing address. The App only receives a confirmation of whether a valid purchase exists for your Google account.

2.4 Remote Resources

When you first open the App or access the walkthrough / "What's New" screens, the App may load promotional images from our static website: https://collection-port.web.app

These requests are standard HTTPS image loads. No personal data is intentionally sent to this server as part of these requests beyond what your device includes in any standard HTTP request (IP address, device/browser headers). We do not log or store these requests.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not require account registration or login.
  • We do not operate a user database or any backend API.
  • We do not integrate any third-party analytics SDK (e.g. Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude) or crash-reporting SDK (e.g. Crashlytics, Sentry).
  • We do not access your contacts, call logs, calendar, or microphone.
  • We do not read or write your external storage (those permissions are not active).

4. Permissions Explained

Permission Reason
INTERNET Required to load advertisements (AdMob) and walkthrough images.
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID Required by Google AdMob to serve and measure ads using the resettable Advertising ID.
com.android.vending.BILLING Required to verify and process in-app purchases via Google Play.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS Used to display optional progress notifications for long-running background tasks (e.g. import/export).
FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC Used to keep import and export operations running reliably in the background without being interrupted by the OS.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except:

  • Google LLC — as described in Sections 2.2 (AdMob) and 2.3 (Play Billing). Google acts as an independent data controller for advertising and billing services.
  • Legal obligations — if required to do so by applicable law, court order, or government authority.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

All user-generated data is stored locally on your device. You can delete all App data at any time by:

  • Using the export/backup feature within the App and then uninstalling the App.
  • Going to Android Settings → Apps → Collection Port → Storage → Clear Data.

Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data. We have no ability to recover it once deleted.

7. Android Backup

The App is configured to exclude its database and settings from Android's automatic cloud backup and device-to-device transfer features. Your collection data does not leave your device via the Android backup system.

8. Children's Privacy

Collection Port is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us at anubys383@gmail.com and we will take steps to address the situation.

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your locally stored data. Because collection data never leaves your device (beyond your own exports), the primary security boundary is your device's own security. We encourage you to use a device screen lock and keep your Android OS up to date.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

11. Contact Us

If you have any questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the App's data practices, please contact us:
