Last Updated: January 19, 2026

JoshTechApps ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle and protect your information when you use our mobile application, Motivational Quotes (the "App"). The App provides a platform for users to browse, save, and share motivational quotes, inspirational personalities, articles, and background themes.

1. Data Processing Overview

The following describes how data is processed when you use the App:

a. User-Generated Content

• Favorite Quotes & Personalities: The App allows you to save favorite quotes and inspirational personalities. These preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
• Custom Backgrounds: If you customize quote backgrounds, these preferences are stored locally on your device.
• Feedback: If you submit feedback through the App, we may receive your email address and feedback content when you choose to submit via email.
• Shared Content: When you share quotes or images, these are processed through your chosen sharing method (email, social media, etc.).

b. Third-Party Data Processing

• Analytics Services: Our app uses Firebase Analytics which may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App. This includes information such as which features you use, session duration, and navigation patterns. This data does not identify you personally and is used to improve the App's performance.
• Crash Reporting Services: Our app uses Firebase Crashlytics which may collect anonymized data about app crashes and performance issues. This may include device information and crash logs to help diagnose and fix issues.
• Advertising Services: The App uses Google AdMob to display ads. These advertising services independently collect anonymized data, such as device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID), IP address, and general location data, to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
• In-App Reviews: The App uses Google Play In-App Review API for rating functionality. This service is handled directly by Google Play Services.

c. App Permissions

The App requests the following permissions for specific features:

• Storage: Used to save or share images of quotes you create.
• Internet: Required for displaying ads, loading content, sending feedback, and analytics services.
• Notifications: Used to send daily motivational quote notifications (optional).
• Network State: Used to check internet connectivity for loading ads and content.

d. Notification Data

If you enable notifications, we use Android WorkManager to schedule and deliver motivational quote notifications. These notifications are generated from local content and do not require server interaction. Your notification preferences are stored locally.

2. How Data Is Used

Data is used for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Improve the App: Usage data and crash reports help understand how the App is used and identify areas for improvement.
• To Personalize Your Experience: User preferences and favorite content are used to customize your experience within the App.
• To Deliver Notifications: If enabled, we use your selected notification preferences to send relevant motivational content.
• To Display Ads: Advertising partners use anonymized data to serve relevant ads and support app development.
• To Respond to Feedback: If you submit feedback, we use your email address and feedback content to respond and provide support.
• App Functionality: To enable features like quote sharing, background customization, and personality browsing.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, data may be processed by third-party services as follows:

• Third-Party Services:
  • Google Firebase: Usage data and crash reports are processed by Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.
  • Google AdMob: Anonymized data is processed by AdMob to deliver banner ads, native ads, and interstitial ads.

• User-Initiated Sharing: If you share quotes or images via email, social media, or other apps, the shared content is transmitted through the selected third-party app.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: User preferences, favorite quotes, and app settings are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences and are not transmitted to our servers.
• Third-Party Storage: Analytics and crash data are processed by Firebase and stored on Google's servers. Ad-related data is processed by advertising partners.
• Content Storage: Quote data, personality information, and article content are stored locally in JSON files within the app resources.

5. Your Choices

• Notifications: You can enable or disable notifications in the App's settings or through system notification settings.
