## 1. Introduction

Welcome to **jokes** (referred to as "the App", "we", "us", or "our"), published by **biok**. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, and disclosed when you download, install, and use our mobile application.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

---

## 2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not require user account registration, logins, passwords, or personal profile creation to use the App. We do **not** collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as:

* Your name, physical address, or phone number.

* Your email address (unless you choose to contact us for support).

* Your contact lists, photos, files, or microphone recordings.

* Precise GPS location data.

---

## 3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores certain non-personal app preferences directly on your device via local sandboxed storage (`SharedPreferences`):

* **Favorites & Bookmarks:** Jokes you have marked as favorites.

* **Reading Progress:** Counters and history of jokes you have seen or unlocked.

* **App Preferences:** Audio/sound toggle states, text-to-speech (TTS) speed and pitch settings, and roulette animation preferences.

**None of this data is transmitted to our servers or external databases.** It remains strictly on your device and can be erased at any time by clearing the App's storage in your device settings or uninstalling the App.

---

## 4. Third-Party Services and Data Collection

While we do not run proprietary tracking servers, the App integrates third-party services that may automatically collect certain diagnostic and advertising data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

### Google AdMob (Google LLC)

The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements (banner ads, interstitial ads, rewarded ads, and app open ads) which support free access to the App.

Google AdMob may collect and process information such as:

* **Device Identifiers:** Google Advertising ID (GAID / AAID), device type, hardware model, operating system version.

* **Network & Diagnostic Data:** IP address (used to infer coarse location such as country/region), network provider, and crash/performance logs.

* **Ad Interaction Data:** Ad impressions, views, clicks, and engagement metrics to provide relevant advertisements, detect fraud, and report ad performance.

For details on how Google processes and protects user data, please review:

* [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)

* [Google Technologies & Advertising](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads)

* [How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites)

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertisements anytime via your Android device settings:  

**Settings** ➔ **Google** ➔ **Ads** ➔ **Reset advertising ID** or **Delete advertising ID**.

---

## 5. Device Permissions Used

The App requires the following standard Android permissions:

* `INTERNET` & `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`: Required to retrieve and display advertisements from Google AdMob and download web typography fonts.

* `VIBRATE`: Required to provide optional tactile haptic feedback when swiping cards or triggering roulette actions.

We do not request sensitive device permissions such as camera, contacts, microphone, storage access, or location.

---

## 6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our App is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to third-party ad networks through our App, please contact us at **dev.nabil0@gmail.com**, and we will promptly investigate and take appropriate steps.

---

## 7. Data Retention & Deletion

Because we do not operate user accounts or central databases, we do not retain any of your personal data on remote servers. All local user data (saved jokes, settings) is tied directly to the App's local installation on your device. To delete this data:

* Open **Settings** on your Android device.

* Go to **Apps** ➔ **jokes**.

* Tap **Storage & cache** ➔ **Clear storage**.

* Alternatively, uninstalling the App completely removes all local data.

---

## 8. Security

The security of your device is important to us. Local app preferences are sandboxed within Android's protected application storage. All communications with third-party ad providers use industry-standard HTTPS encryption.

---

## 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date". We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
