Privacy Policy for Channel Booster
Last Updated: July 2024
Welcome to Channel Booster. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent experience when using our app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
- Account Information: When you sign in using Google Login, we collect your Name, Email Address, and Profile Picture URL. This data is stored securely in Firebase Firestore to create your account and synchronize your coin balance.
- App Usage Data (Sensitive Permission): Our app requests the
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission. We use this only to detect if the YouTube application is currently in the foreground. This is strictly for the purpose of validating that you are actively watching or engaging with a video until the campaign timer finishes. We do not monitor or collect data from any other apps on your device.
- Transaction History: Every change in your virtual currency (coins) is recorded in our "Black Box" transaction logs. This includes rewards from watching videos, ads, or official purchases.
- Device Information: We collect basic device data (Model, OS version, and Crash logs) through Firebase Crashlytics to improve app stability.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain your account.
- To verify the completion of "View", "Like", and "Subscribe" tasks fairly.
- To prevent fraud, cheating, and unauthorized manipulation of coin balances.
- To process In-App Purchases (VIP membership and Coin packs) via Google Play Billing.
3. Data Safety and Security
- No Data Selling: We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.
- Storage: Your data is stored using Firebase (Google Cloud), which employs industry-standard encryption and security protocols.
- Black Box Audit: To ensure a fair community, our system maintains a permanent, non-deletable log of coin transactions to identify and ban fraudulent accounts.
