1 Overview

Your privacy matters to us. Unit Converter is designed with privacy in mind - all conversions happen locally on your device, and we don't run our own servers to process your data.

The app works completely offline for its core functionality. However, we do use trusted third-party services (Google AdMob and Firebase) for advertising, analytics, and crash reporting, which may collect limited device and usage information.

This policy explains what data is collected, how it's used, and your choices regarding your information.

  • Understand app usage to improve features and user experience (Firebase Analytics)
  • Detect and fix bugs to improve app stability (Crashlytics)
  • Optimize performance across different devices and OS versions

Important: We do NOT sell your personal information to any third parties. Ever.

4 Sharing of Information

We do not share your data with third parties except through the following services necessary to operate the app:

  • Google LLC (AdMob, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics)

These service providers process data according to their own privacy policies and Google's terms of service. We have no control over their data practices beyond the configuration options they provide.

No other data sharing occurs. We don't sell, rent, or trade your information to data brokers, advertisers, or any other companies.

5 Advertising, Tracking & Your Choices

A) Personalized vs Non-Personalized Ads

Depending on your location and consent status:

  • Personalized ads: Based on your interests and activity (requires consent in EEA/UK/Switzerland)
  • Non-personalized ads: Generic ads not based on your behavior

In regions requiring consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland), Google's Consent Management Platform will ask for your permission before personalizing ads.

B) iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

On iOS 14.5 and later, Apple requires apps to ask permission before tracking you across other apps and websites using your device's Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

  • If you grant permission: Ads may be more relevant to your interests
  • If you decline: Ads will still appear but won't be personalized

You can change this setting anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking

C) Opt-Out Controls

Android:

  • Go to Settings → Google → Ads
  • Enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization"
  • Or reset your Advertising ID

iOS:

  • Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
  • Disable tracking for Unit Converter
  • Or reset your Advertising Identifier in Settings → Privacy → Apple Advertising

Google Ad Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to manage your preferences.

We take security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

  • Local processing: All conversions happen on your device - no data transmission required
  • HTTPS encryption: All network communications use secure, encrypted connections
  • Trusted providers: We only use reputable third-party services (Google/Firebase) with strong security practices
  • Regular updates: We keep SDKs and dependencies updated to address security vulnerabilities
  • Minimal data collection: We only collect what's necessary for app functionality

However, no system is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
