Privacy Policy — UntangleMe

Effective date: February 2, 2026

Last updated: February 2, 2026

UntangleMe is published by Backwoods Development.

1) What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information UntangleMe collects, uses, and shares when you use the app. Even if an app collects very little, app stores still expect a public privacy policy page and basic disclosures.

2) Data UntangleMe collects

UntangleMe does not directly collect, store, or ask for personal information (for example: name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or account credentials). There are no user accounts and no in-app profile.

3) Ads and third-party data collection

Third-party advertising

UntangleMe does show ads. Ads are provided by third-party advertising SDKs (for example, Google AdMob / the Google Mobile Ads SDK). Those third parties may automatically collect and share certain information to serve ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud.

Google documents that the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect or share data such as:

  • IP address (may be used to estimate general location)
  • User interactions (like app launch, taps, video views)
  • Diagnostic information (such as performance and crash signals)
  • Device/account identifiers (including Android Advertising ID, App Set ID, and related identifiers)

Important: UntangleMe does not collect user data directly, but you should not interpret this as “no data is collected at all” when ads/SDKs are present. Ad networks may collect identifiers and telemetry as part of ad delivery.

4) Data retention

Because UntangleMe does not directly collect/store personal data, it does not maintain a personal-data retention database.

Third-party ad providers retain data according to their policies and settings.

5) Data security

Google documents that data transmitted by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using TLS.

6) Your choices and controls

Ads personalization controls (Android)

  • Android’s Advertising ID is user-resettable and user-deletable.
  • You can typically reset/delete the Advertising ID in Android Settings (exact steps vary by Android version).

EEA/UK/Switzerland users (consent)

If you serve users in the EEA/UK/Switzerland, ad personalization may require a consent flow (e.g., Google’s EU User Consent approach / UMP), and users must be able to change/withdraw consent where required.

FAQ

Does UntangleMe collect any data?

UntangleMe does not directly collect or store personal information. However, third-party ad providers may collect device identifiers, usage events, and diagnostic data as part of providing and measuring ads.

7) Children’s privacy

UntangleMe is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a direct contact channel, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

8) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Effective” date at the top and post the new version at the same URL.
