Privacy Policy: AC Remote - Smart Controller App

1. Information We Collect

The App is designed to provide remote-control functionality for compatible air-conditioning devices. The App does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use its core remote-control features.

Depending on how you use the App and the services integrated into it, certain technical or usage information may be processed to provide functionality, advertising, analytics, security, and app performance improvements.

We may process information such as:

• Device type and model
• Android version
• App version
• General technical information
• Crash and diagnostic information
• Advertising-related information when advertisements are displayed
• Information related to interactions with the App

The types of information processed may vary depending on the features and third-party services enabled in the App.

2. Permissions We Use

Internet Permission

The App uses Internet access to:

• Communicate with integrated analytics and supporting services.
• Retrieve required online content or service information.

Transmit_IR Permission

The App uses the Transmit_IR permission to transmit infrared (IR) signals from compatible Android devices that have an infrared transmitter.

This permission is required for the App's core remote-control functionality, such as sending commands to compatible air-conditioning devices, including:

• Temperature adjustment
• Fan-speed control
• Operating-mode selection

The App does not use IR transmission to access, read, or collect personal information from your device.

IR functionality depends on your device hardware and compatibility. Devices without a supported infrared transmitter may not be able to use IR remote-control features.

The App may use vibration to provide feedback when you interact with remote-control buttons or other supported controls.

Vibration access is used only for app interaction and feedback and is not used to collect personal information.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at the email address below so that appropriate action can be taken.

Where required by applicable law or Google Play policies, appropriate safeguards and consent mechanisms may apply.
