Our apps do not require account registration, login, or any personal information to function. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other directly identifiable personal information through our app interfaces.
3.2 Locally Stored Data
Our apps save coloring progress data (pixel image data) to your device's local storage using standard Android APIs. This data:
- Is stored only on your device
- Is never transmitted to Gujju Apps servers or any third party by us

3.3 Automatically Collected Technical Data
Our apps do not independently collect crash reports, analytics, or usage metrics. However, the app distribution platform and third-party SDKs listed below may collect certain technical data as described in their respective policies.
4. Third-Party SDKs & Data Collection
Our apps integrate Google AdMob for in-app advertising. AdMob collects data as described below. By using our apps, you acknowledge and consent to this data collection by Google.
4.1 Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC)
Our apps display advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob is a third-party advertising platform. When you use our apps, Google AdMob may collect the following information:
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising ID (GAID) | Ad targeting, frequency capping, attribution | Per Google policy |
| IP Address | Geographic targeting, fraud prevention | Per Google policy |

Google AdMob operates under its own Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend reviewing it: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google provides an ad settings portal to manage your preferences at: Google Ads Settings
4.2 App Distribution Platform
The platform through which our apps are distributed may collect install and crash data as part of standard app distribution. This is governed by the platform provider's own privacy policy.
5. Children's Privacy
Our apps are designed for children. We take children's privacy very seriously and do not collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent.
Gujju Apps does NOT knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 directly. All children-directed data collection within our apps is limited to what is required for the Google AdMob SDK as disclosed above.
- We do not require children to create accounts or provide personal information
- We do not knowingly collect contact information from children
- We do not allow children to make in-app purchases
- We do not include social features, chat, or user-generated content sharing
- We do not link to external websites from within the app
- AdMob is configured in our apps to serve non-personalised, content-appropriate ads
If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, please contact us at gujjuapps.studio@gmail.com and we will delete such information promptly.
6. Advertising & Your Choices
Our apps show ads via Google AdMob to support free access for all users. Ads displayed may be contextual (non-personalised) or interest-based depending on your device settings and region.
6.1 Opt Out of Personalised Ads
You can limit ad personalisation through your device settings:
- Android: Settings > Google > Ads > "Opt out of Ads Personalisation"
- Reset Advertising ID: Settings > Google > Ads > "Reset advertising ID"
6.2 Ad Content
We configure Google AdMob to serve family-friendly, age-appropriate advertisements. However, we cannot guarantee the content of all ads served by Google's network. If you encounter an inappropriate ad, please report it to us at gujjuapps.studio@gmail.com.

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect locally stored data within our apps. Since we do not transmit personal data to our own servers, the risk of a data breach from our systems is minimal. Third-party partners (Google) maintain their own security practices as described in their respective policies.
