Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Scope

Welcome to RAM Monitor Overlay ("we", "our", or "us"), available under package identifier com.rammonitoroverlay.app. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains how our Android application collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use RAM Monitor Overlay, including our real-time floating memory widget, historical telemetry graphs, and data export features.

2. Information We Collect

A. Local System Performance Telemetry (Non-Personal)

To provide real-time memory monitoring and line charts, the app periodically queries system memory parameters provided by the Android OS (ActivityManager.MemoryInfo):

• Total System Memory (RAM)
• Available / Reclaimable Memory
• Low Memory Warning Threshold
• Calculated Memory Utilization Percentage

Note: This performance data is strictly system-wide telemetry. It does not inspect individual application activity, private user files, or personal browsing history.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When using features backed by third-party SDKs (such as advertisements or push notifications), third-party services may automatically collect standard technical metrics:

• Device Information: Device brand, model, operating system version, screen resolution, and language preferences.
• Network & Identifiers: IP address, Android Advertising ID (GAID), and device push tokens.
• App Interaction & Diagnostic Metrics: Ad impressions, ad clicks, notification delivery status, and crash reports.

3. How Information Is Used

We use the processed information strictly for legitimate operational purposes:

• Core Functionality: To render live RAM gauges, update floating screen overlays, and draw historical 60-sample telemetry trend charts.
• Local Data Management: To log historical RAM readings into an on-device SQLite database and generate user-requested CSV or JSON export files.
• Advertising & Monetization: To display contextual or personalized banner, interstitial, native, app open, and rewarded ads via Google AdMob.
• Service Updates & Maintenance: To notify users of maintenance schedules or vital updates via remote API check and push notifications through OneSignal.

4. Device Permissions Explained

To deliver its core features, RAM Monitor Overlay requests specific system permissions:

5. Third-Party Services & SDKs

Our application integrates trusted third-party services that may process data under their respective privacy policies:

1. Google AdMob (Google Play Services)

Used to serve advertisements within the app dashboard. AdMob may process device identifiers (GAID), IP address, and ad interaction data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, prevent fraud, and measure ad performance.

6. Data Storage & Retention

• On-Device Local Database: All historical RAM logs are stored exclusively in a local SQLite database on your device.
• Retention Options: Users can configure automatic data retention rules in app Settings for 24 Hours, 7 Days, or 30 Days.
• Manual Erasure: Users can clear all stored telemetry history at any time using the "Clear All Telemetry Data" option in app Settings.
• File Exports: CSV or JSON files exported via Storage Access Framework (SAF) remain entirely under user ownership in local storage.

7. Children's Privacy

RAM Monitor Overlay is a system utility application and is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can immediately delete such information.

8. Security Practices

We implement strict measures to protect your data:

• No Remote Cloud Profiling: Your performance telemetry logs are never uploaded to our servers or third-party servers.
• HTTPS Encryption: All network calls (such as maintenance status checks and ad requests) use encrypted Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
• Strict Ad Overlay Isolation: Advertisements are strictly confined to the main app dashboard and are never rendered inside system overlay windows or foreground notifications.

9. Your Rights & Data Choices

You maintain full control over your device data and privacy choices:

• Revoke Overlay Permissions: You can enable or disable the floating overlay at any time via Android Settings > Apps > Display over other apps.
• Disable Push Notifications: You can opt out of notification permissions via Android App Info > Notifications.
• Reset Advertising ID: You can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads.
• Delete App Telemetry: Use "Clear History" inside the app or uninstall the application to remove all stored local data.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in functionality, legal mandates, or Google Play Console policies. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
