## 3. Information We Collect

### 3.1 Personal Information

We do not require user registration or collect personal data such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers through the app itself.

### 3.2 Usage Data

The app may collect anonymous usage data to help improve performance and user experience. This can include crash reports, screen navigation patterns, and general device information.

### 3.3 Media Library and Storage

The app uses Expo MediaLibrary only when you choose to save a wallpaper. We do not read or store your gallery contents unless you explicitly give permission for the save operation.

## 4. Ads and Monetization

The app integrates Google Mobile Ads to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads. Ad networks may collect anonymous usage data for ad personalization and delivery.

### 4.1 Ad Unit IDs

The app uses configured AdMob unit IDs for production advertising. No personal data is collected by the app specifically for ads beyond the normal, anonymous ad requests sent by the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

The app requests or uses the following permissions:

- `SET_WALLPAPER` and `SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS` for applying wallpapers on Android.
- `INTERNET` for loading wallpapers and serving ads.

### 5.1 Scoped Storage

The app avoids legacy external storage permissions on Android. It uses scoped storage and `MediaStore` for saving images on Android 10+.

## 6. Media Saving

When you save a wallpaper, the app downloads the file locally and then saves it to your device using the system media library. For Android versions below 10, the app will request permission explicitly before saving.

## 7. Third-Party Services

- **Google Mobile Ads**: for ad delivery
- **Axios**: for fetching wallpaper data from remote APIs

These service providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them directly.
