Privacy, clearly.

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to every Android app published by GriceMobile on Google Play (listed under Apps covered) and to this website, www.gricemobile.com. GriceMobile is the developer named on those Google Play listings. Questions or requests: helper@gricemobile.com.

This page is available at both gricemobile.com/privacy and gricemobile.com/privacy-policy. Each app's Google Play Data safety section and in-app notices give further app-specific detail.

Key points

• No account. Our apps do not ask you to create a GriceMobile account, and we do not run servers that store your notes, messages, contacts, photos, files, finances or health records.
• Your content stays on your device. Content you create or open in our apps is processed and stored on your device. It leaves the device only when you choose a feature that sends it (for example sharing, exporting, sending an SMS, or optional Google Drive sync in Notes).
• Permissions are feature-based. An app asks for a permission only for the feature that needs it. You can refuse or revoke it in Android Settings; only that feature stops working.
• We do not sell personal data, and we do not use the contents of your contacts, call log, messages, photos, files, notes, finances or health records for advertising or analytics.
• Limited diagnostics and ads. Apps use Google Firebase for crash reports, app usage analytics and remote configuration, and most apps show ads through Google AdMob. Details are below.

Third-party services used by our apps

Google Firebase (all apps)

Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase), Firebase Remote Config and Firebase Installations collect: crash logs and diagnostics (stack traces, device model, OS version, app version), app interactions (screens opened, buttons used, ad and purchase events), and device or installation identifiers (Firebase installation ID, app instance ID). This is used to fix crashes, understand which features are used, and adjust app settings remotely. It does not include the content of your contacts, messages, files, photos, notes, finances or health records. Data is processed by Google; Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months and Crashlytics data for up to 90 days. See Firebase privacy information.

Google AdMob (apps with ads)

Apps that show ads use Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). AdMob may collect the Android Advertising ID, app set ID, IP address (and approximate location derived from it), device and app information, and ad interactions, to serve, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud. Ads may be personalised where permitted and where you have consented (for example through the consent form shown in the EEA, UK and Switzerland). You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads. In the Phone app (com.grice.dialer), AdMob mediation can also request ads from Yandex Mobile Ads, which receives similar device and advertising information. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services.

Currently ad-free: Music, Money Manager and Health OS 27. If ads are added to these apps later, the same AdMob terms apply, and in Health OS 27 health data is never passed to ads.

Google Play Billing (optional purchases)

Premium upgrades and subscriptions are processed by Google Play. We receive only purchase status and order details needed to unlock the feature; we never see your card or payment details. See Google Payments Privacy Notice.

Feature-specific services

• WeatherAPI.com (Launcher, Launcher 18): if you allow location for the weather widget, your approximate coordinates are sent to WeatherAPI.com to get the local forecast.
• OpenSubtitles.org (Video Player, Music): only when you search for subtitles online, the search text (usually the video title) is sent to OpenSubtitles.
• Google Drive (Notes): only if you turn on sync and sign in with Google, your notes are stored in a hidden app folder in your own Google Drive, which only Notes can access.
• Google ML Kit (Translate, Camera, Preview): text recognition, translation, language detection, selfie segmentation and document scanning run on your device. Translation language packs are downloaded from Google; your text and images are not sent for translation. Voice input in Translate uses Android's speech recognition service.

Third-party providers process data under their own policies, including the Google Privacy Policy.

App by app: permissions and data

All apps below also use the services above (Firebase; AdMob where they show ads; Google Play Billing for Premium) and the network permission needed for them. Unless stated otherwise, the data listed is used only on your device.

Health OS 27: Period Tracker

This section applies to Health OS 27: Period Tracker (package com.grice.health) and is written to meet the Google Play Health apps policy.

Health data we handle

The app lets you record: blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, water intake, steps, menstrual cycle (period days, symptoms, cycle and period length settings and estimates), and reminders.

Stored only on your device

• All health records are stored only in the app's private storage on your device. There is no account and no sign-in.
• Health records are not sent to our servers or to any third party, and are excluded from Android cloud backup. They are copied only if you move to a new phone using Android's direct device-to-device transfer.
• Export and import: you can export your records as CSV or PDF, or import a CSV file. This happens only when you choose it, and the file goes only where you choose (for example a folder on your device or an app you pick in the share menu). Once you share a file, the receiving app or person controls it.

Permissions

• Physical activity (activity recognition): used only to count your steps on the device, through the Google Play services Recording API (on-device) or your phone's step sensor. Step data is not sent off the device.
• Notifications, run at start-up: to deliver the reminders you set (for example period or measurement reminders).

What we never do with health data

• Health data is never used for advertising, marketing or analytics.
• Health data is never sold, rented or shared with third parties, data brokers or employers.
• Health data is never passed to ads. The app is currently ad-free; if Google AdMob ads are added, AdMob may use the Advertising ID as described above, but no health data is ever given to it.

Diagnostics

Firebase Crashlytics, Analytics and Remote Config collect only crash logs, diagnostics, app interactions (such as which screens are opened) and device or installation identifiers. They do not receive health values such as readings, weights, step counts or cycle dates. Premium purchases are handled by Google Play Billing.

Deleting your health data

You can delete individual records in the app. To delete everything, clear the app's data (Android Settings > Apps > Health > Storage > Clear data) or uninstall the app. Because we hold no copy, we cannot recover deleted data. Exported files you saved elsewhere must be deleted there.

Not a medical device

Health OS 27 is a personal record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Period predictions are estimates and must not be used as birth control or contraception. Always consult a qualified health professional about medical decisions.

This website

On www.gricemobile.com we use Google Analytics to measure visitors and which pages are viewed. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers and receive browser and device information. We send the page path without URL parameters, so invitation links and tournament IDs are not included. See Google's Privacy Policy. If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply.

Retention, deletion and your choices

• On-device data stays until you delete it in the app, clear the app's data in Android Settings, or uninstall the app. Some apps (for example Notes, Reminders and Money Manager) may be included in Android's own device backup to your Google Account if you have it turned on; you manage that backup in Android Settings.
• Firebase data is kept as described above (Analytics up to 14 months, Crashlytics up to 90 days) and is not linked to your name.
• Advertising data is kept by Google (and Yandex for the Phone app) under their own policies. You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in Android Settings.
• Permissions can be reviewed and revoked at any time in Android Settings > Apps.
• Requests: to ask a question or request deletion of any data linked to you, email helper@gricemobile.com with the app name. Because we keep no accounts, we usually hold no data that identifies you; we will explain the options for that app and help with Firebase data where it can be identified from an ID you provide.

Security

Data is transferred over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and app content stays in each app's private storage or in the Android storage you choose. No method is completely secure, but we keep data collection to the minimum needed.

Children

Our apps are not directed to children and are intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this page when our apps or their data practices change. The date at the top shows the latest update.
