HOHTO app Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025-11-11

Thank you for choosing nightlight (the “App”). This Privacy Policy describes how your information is handled when you use our App.

Your use of the App constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect (and Don’t Collect)

We value your privacy. Our philosophy is to collect the minimum necessary for the App to function.

A. Information We Do Not Collect: We DO NOT collect or store any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, email address, physical address, phone number, or geographic location.

B. Information Saved Locally on Your Device: The App saves certain preferences exclusively on your device to improve your experience. This information is never transmitted to us and remains private on your phone. This includes:

  • Your preferred time format (12 or 24-hour).

  • The last color you selected for the light.

  • The state of the light (on/off) when you exit the app.

  • Your timer settings (selected minutes and whether it is enabled).

C. Information Collected Automatically by Third Parties: The App uses third-party services (described below) that may collect non-personal identification information to provide their services, such as:

  • Device identifiers for advertising (e.g., Google Advertising ID).

  • IP address (for general purposes, such as approximate location).

  • Device information (model, operating system).

  • Data about your interactions with advertisements.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information only for the stated purposes:

  • To Provide and Personalize the App: Locally saved preferences are used to restore your settings (like your favorite color) when you next launch the app.

  • To Display Advertisements: We use Google AdMob to show ads, which helps us keep the App free.

3. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:

A. Google AdMob The App uses Google AdMob for serving advertisements. AdMob is an advertising service provided by Google Inc. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to show personalized ads based on your interests.

We encourage you to read Google’s privacy policy and how they handle data in ads:

You can manage your preferences for personalized ads through your Google Account’s Ad Settings or your mobile device settings.

B. Google Play Services (In-App Purchases) In the event you choose to purchase the “PRO” version (if and when available), we will use Google Play’s In-App Billing services. We do not collect or store any payment information (like credit card details). All payment transactions are processed securely by Google.

4. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, but please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. However, as we do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information, the risk to your personal privacy is significantly reduced.

5. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to anyone under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
