Privacy Policy for Item Price Alert
Thank you for using Item Price Alert (“the App”).
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you use the App. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Item Price Alert does not require users to create a personal account with an email address, username, or password.
However, the App may collect or store certain information necessary to provide its features.
1.1 Price Alert Data
When you create a price alert, the App may store information such as:
- The selected market item
- Item name
- Market hash name
- App ID
- Target price
- Alert direction
- Currency code
- Alert status
- Alert creation date
- Triggered alert information, if applicable
This information is used to create, manage, and trigger price alerts.
1.2 Anonymous User Identifier
The App may use Firebase Authentication to create an anonymous user ID. This ID does not directly identify you personally, but it helps the App associate your saved alerts and notification token with your device/app usage.
1.3 Notification Token
If you enable notifications, the App may collect and store a Firebase Cloud Messaging token. This token is used only to send price alert notifications to your device.
1.4 Device and Advertising Data
The App uses Google AdMob to show ads to free users, including banner ads and rewarded ads. Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect certain device information, identifiers, advertising ID, app interaction data, diagnostics, and related ad performance information depending on your device settings and Google’s services. Google provides developer guidance for declaring data handled by the Google Mobile Ads SDK in Google Play’s Data safety section.
