Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Adpixo ("Adpixo", "we", "us") collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use our apps:
- Adpixo, the mobile app for business owners, and
- Adpixo TV, the app that runs on Android TV displays,
together with related services (the "Services"). Adpixo is operated by Hardik Sharma, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. By using the Services you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Information we collect
a) Information you give us (mobile app)
| Type | Examples | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Email address and password | To create your account and sign you in. Passwords are handled by Google Firebase Authentication and are never visible to us. |
| Profile and business details | Your name, gender, age, phone number, country, business name, business category and business address | To set up your business profile, contact you about your account, and tailor the Services to your business. |
| Your content | Images and videos you upload, ads you create, playlist and display names | To store your content and play it on the displays you choose. |
| Support messages | Emails you send us | To answer your questions. |
b) Information collected automatically
- App usage and diagnostics (mobile app): we use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used (for example, which screens are opened), and Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash reports. These may include device model, operating system version, app version, a random app-instance identifier and approximate region derived from your IP address.
- Notification token (mobile app): if you allow notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging gives your device a token so we can send you alerts about your account and displays.
- Display information (Adpixo TV): the TV app signs in with an anonymous identifier (not linked to any person until it is paired). When you pair a display, we store a device record linked to your account, including the name you give it, its pairing status and the playlist assigned to it.
- Technical data: like any online service, our servers (Google Cloud / Firebase) receive your IP address and basic request information when the apps connect.
c) What we do not collect
We do not access your contacts, precise location, camera, microphone or call logs. The mobile app only accesses the specific photos or videos you choose to upload, using Android's photo picker.
2. How we use information
- To provide, operate and maintain the Services, including showing your ads on your paired displays.
- To create and secure your account, verify your email, and reset your password.
- To prevent abuse, such as rate-limiting pairing attempts and uploads, and detecting duplicate uploads.
- To fix crashes and improve the apps.
- To communicate with you about your account, service changes and support requests.
- When paid plans are introduced, to manage your subscription, AI credits and purchases.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
3. How information is shared
We share information only as follows:
- Service providers: Google LLC provides our infrastructure (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Analytics, Crashlytics and Cloud Messaging). Google processes data on our behalf under its own terms and privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
- Payment providers: when paid plans are available, payments are processed by Google Play or another payment provider. We do not receive or store your full card details.
- AI features: if you use AI-assisted ad creation, the text and media you submit may be processed by an AI service provider solely to generate your ad.
- Your displays: content you assign to a display is shown publicly on that screen. You decide what is shown.
- Legal reasons: if required by law, court order or a government authority, or to protect the rights, safety and property of Adpixo, our users or the public.
- Business transfer: if Adpixo is merged, sold or transferred, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
4. Where data is stored
Your data is stored on Google Cloud servers, which may be located outside India. Google applies industry-standard safeguards to data in its data centres.
5. How long we keep data
- Account, profile and content: kept while your account is active.
- After you delete your account: your profile, uploaded media, playlists, display records and sign-in account are deleted promptly. A minimal deletion record (your account ID and the deletion date, with no personal content) is kept for a short period so the deletion completes safely. Copies may remain in Google's backups and logs for a limited time before being overwritten.
- Analytics and crash data: kept according to Google Firebase's retention settings, and then deleted automatically.
- Media cached on a TV: stored only on that TV to allow offline playback, and removed when it is no longer in the display's playlist or when the display is unpaired.
6. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Access is restricted by authentication and database security rules so that each account can read only its own data. Passwords are managed by Firebase Authentication. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
7. Your rights and choices
Subject to applicable law, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may:
- Access and correct your profile and business details in the app under Account → Edit.
- Delete individual media, playlists and displays in the app at any time.
- Delete your account and all associated data. See adpixo.in/delete-account.
- Turn off notifications in your phone's settings.
- Withdraw consent or raise a concern by emailing us. Withdrawing consent may mean we can no longer provide the Services.
- Nominate another person to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity.
We will respond to requests within 30 days.
8. Children
The Services are meant for businesses and are not directed at anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the effective date. If the changes are significant, we will also notify you in the app or by email.
