Gouldian Finch – Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when users access and use the Gouldian Finch application.

Gouldian Finch does not require users to create an account, register or provide personal information directly to the developer in order to use the application.

Information Entered by the User

Users may voluntarily enter information into the application, including bird records, breeding records, treatment records, notes and other breeding-related information.

This information is stored locally on the user's device. It is not transmitted to the developer and is not stored on servers controlled by the developer.

Local Storage

Gouldian Finch uses local device storage to save records, settings and information entered by the user.

Locally stored information may be removed if the user clears the application data, uninstalls the application or restores the device.

Users are responsible for creating and safely storing any available backups or exported copies of their records.

Internet Access

The application uses an Internet connection to display advertisements through Google AdMob and to load the technical resources required by Google advertising services.

Bird records, breeding records, treatment records and other information entered by the user are not uploaded to Google AdMob or to servers controlled by the developer.

Advertising

Gouldian Finch uses Google AdMob, a service provided by Google, to display banner advertisements.

Google and its advertising partners may automatically collect, receive or process certain technical information for advertising, security, fraud prevention, measurement and service operation. Depending on the user's device, region, consent choices and advertising settings, this information may include:

• Advertising identifiers;
• IP address;
• Device and operating system information;
• Application interaction and advertising information;
• Diagnostic and performance information;
• Approximate location inferred from the IP address.

Advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised depending on the user's consent choices, device settings, age-related settings and applicable legislation.

Consent and Privacy Choices

Where required, Gouldian Finch uses Google's User Messaging Platform, also known as UMP, to present privacy information and request the user's consent before advertising data is processed.

This may apply in particular to users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Depending on the consent message and the options required in the user's country, users may be able to consent, refuse consent or manage their privacy choices.

A user's previous consent status may be stored on the device by Google's consent system so that the application can respect the selected preferences during subsequent sessions.

Third-Party Services

The application uses services provided by Google, including:

• Google AdMob;
• Google Mobile Ads SDK;
• Google User Messaging Platform.

The processing of information by these services is governed by Google's own policies and terms.

Data Security

The developer does not have access to the bird, breeding, treatment or other records stored locally by users within the application.

No electronic storage method or Internet transmission method is completely secure. Google is responsible for the security of information processed through its own advertising and consent services in accordance with its policies.

Children's Privacy

Gouldian Finch is intended for bird breeders and bird enthusiasts and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.

The developer does not knowingly request or directly collect personal information from children.

Advertising may be restricted or adapted where required by the user's age-related settings and applicable laws.

User Rights

Depending on the user's location and applicable legislation, users may have rights concerning information processed for advertising purposes, including the right to obtain information, object to certain processing or withdraw consent.

Privacy and advertising preferences may also be managed through Google's consent interface, the device's advertising settings and the user's Google account settings, where available.

Because records entered into Gouldian Finch remain locally on the device and are not received by the developer, users can manage or delete those records directly within the application or through the device's application settings.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the application's functions, advertising services or legal requirements change.

Any updated version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be changed accordingly.
