Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Scroll On, Mate! (“the App”), developed by 2 Bears Software Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “our”), handles information when you use our mobile application.
1. Overview
Scroll On, Mate! is a simple application that lets users create and display large scrolling messages on their device screen.
The current version of the app distributed on Google Play does not show advertisements and does not use advertising or analytics tracking.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect, transmit, or store personal information on our own servers.
Specifically, we do not collect:
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- Location data
- Contacts, photos, or media files
- The messages you create in the app
- Advertising identifiers for tracking or profiling
Your messages and settings remain on your device unless Google Play processes information as part of a purchase.
3. Local Data Storage
The app stores certain information locally on your device so it can function properly. This may include:
- Saved messages
- Display settings such as colour, speed, font, and text size
- App preferences such as onboarding and display hints
- Local premium entitlement cache used to reflect Google Play purchase status
This information:
- Stays on your device
- Is not accessible by us
- Is not shared by us with third parties
4. Third‑Party Services
a. Advertising
The current version of the app does not serve ads and does not use Google AdMob in active operation.
As a result, the current Play‑distributed version is not using ad‑related tracking or personalised advertising.
If a future version re‑enables ads, this Privacy Policy will be updated before that version is distributed on Google Play.
b. In‑App Purchases (Google Play Billing)
The app offers an optional premium purchase through Google Play.
All payments are processed securely by Google. We do not:
- Receive your full payment card details
- Store financial information
- Process payments ourselves
Google may process purchase‑related information under its own policies. For more information, please refer to:
- https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=privacynotice
- https://policies.google.com/privacy
c. App Updates (Google Play)
The app may check Google Play to determine whether a newer version is available. This check is handled through Google Play services and is used only to support app updates.
5. How We Use Information
We do not use personal information for profiling, analytics, or advertising.
The app uses local on‑device data only to:
- Save your messages
- Remember your preferences
- Reflect premium or trial access status
- Support app update checks through Google Play
6. Data Sharing and Selling
We do not:
- Sell user data
- Share user data with advertisers
- Share user‑created messages with third parties
Google may independently process limited information when handling purchases or app update checks under its own privacy policies.
7. Internet Usage
The app may use an internet connection for:
- Checking for app updates through Google Play
- Processing optional premium purchases through Google Play
- Restoring purchase status
The core message display functionality works without needing your messages to be sent to us.
8. Data Security
Because we do not operate a backend service for this app and do not store user data on our servers, we do not maintain a remote user database for Scroll On, Mate!
Data handled by Google Play is subject to Google’s own security and privacy practices.
9. Your Rights
Because we do not store personal data on our own systems, there is no account data for us to access, modify, export, or delete.
If you want to remove locally stored app data, you can do so by uninstalling the app or clearing app storage on your device.
For information processed by Google Play, please refer to Google’s privacy documentation.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the Effective Date above.
If future versions of the app introduce ads, analytics, or additional data collection, this policy will be updated before those changes are released on Google Play.
