Overview
Click Counter ("the App", "we", "our") is a simple tally counter application developed by SpartApp. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the App, how it is used, and your choices. By using Click Counter you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Local only Counter & App Data
All data you create inside the App – counter names, values, notes, emojis, colors, step sizes, min/max limits, and app preferences (theme, language, haptic feedback, sound settings) – is stored exclusively on your device using Android's local database (Room) and preferences storage (DataStore). This data is never transmitted to us or any third party.
Third-party Advertising Data (Google AdMob)
The App shows banner advertisements served by Google AdMob. To deliver and measure ads, AdMob may automatically collect:
- Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID / GAID)
- Device information (model, OS version, screen size)
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- App interaction data (ad impressions and clicks)
- IP address and network connection type
This data is collected and processed by Google LLC under their own privacy policies. We do not receive, store, or have access to this data.
Third-party Google Play Services
The App uses Google Play Core libraries to deliver in-app updates and prompt for app store reviews. These services operate under Google's privacy policy and may collect standard diagnostic information.
App Permissions
- INTERNET – Required to load advertisements from Google AdMob.
- VIBRATE – Used to provide optional haptic feedback when a counter button is tapped. No vibration data is collected or transmitted.
- AD_ID (Advertising ID) – Allows Google AdMob to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance. You can reset or opt out of personalized ads at any time in your device's Google Settings → Ads.
How Information Is Used
We use the locally stored data solely to provide the core functionality of the App: displaying, editing, and persisting your counters across sessions. We do not analyze, share, or monetize this data in any way.
Google AdMob uses the advertising data it collects to:
- Display relevant advertisements within the App
- Measure ad performance and prevent ad fraud
- Comply with legal obligations
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties, because we do not collect personal data ourselves.
The only third-party data flow occurs between your device and Google AdMob's servers as described above. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities.
Data Retention & Security
Your counter data and preferences are retained on your device for as long as the App is installed. Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data.
We take reasonable precautions to protect the App's local storage. Because no data is transmitted to our servers, there is no server-side data to secure on our end.
For data held by Google AdMob, please refer to Google AdMob's data retention practices.
Your Advertising Choices
You can control interest-based advertising on your Android device:
- Go to Settings → Google → Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization" to stop receiving personalized ads.
- Tap "Reset advertising ID" to disassociate your device from previous ad activity.
Non-personalized ads may still be shown, which do not use your advertising ID for targeting but may still use contextual signals (e.g., app category).
Children's Privacy
Click Counter is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The advertising served by Google AdMob is not targeted at children, and we have not designated this App as child-directed within AdMob.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us using the details below so we can take appropriate action.
Third-Party Links & Services
The App's share feature allows you to send a link to the App's Google Play Store listing. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the Google Play Store or any other external services you choose to share content with.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
