This Privacy Policy explains how Melih Firat ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the Color Picker mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information with the following categories of recipients:

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. Where "sale" or "sharing" have specific meanings under applicable laws (e.g., US state privacy laws), see Section 12 for your rights.

6. Advertising

The App may display ads through Google AdMob. Depending on your region and consent, ads may be personalized using device identifiers and in-app activity. You can manage consent via the App's consent prompt (where available) or device settings. Disabling personalized ads may reduce relevancy but will not remove ads entirely.

7. Analytics and Performance

We may rely on diagnostics provided by Apple and Google (such as crash reports) to improve stability. If additional third-party analytics are implemented, the providers receive only the data necessary to deliver their service, and where required we will seek your consent.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the App, honoring subscriptions, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods vary by data type, contractual requirements, and applicable law.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data we process. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
