Privacy Policy - Shake & Decide
Privacy Policy for Shake & Decide
🛡️ Quick Privacy Summary
Shake & Decide is built as an offline-first utility for rapid decision making (3D dice rolls, lucky coin flips, and customizable fortune wheels). We do not collect, store, sell, or transmit any of your personal information, user accounts, or motion sensor logs. All your saved decisions and custom wheels stay 100% on your local device. We use Google AdMob to deliver ads, which may process standard device identifiers in accordance with Google's policies.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Shake & Decide operates without user registration or cloud profile requirements:
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not ask for or collect your name, phone number, physical address, or contacts.
- No Account Credentials: No sign-in or login is ever required.
- No Location Data: We do not request GPS, coarse location, or fine location permissions.
- No Camera or Microphone Access: We do not access or record audio, video, or photos.
2. Data Stored Locally On Your Device
The app utilizes Android's internal SQLite database (via Android Room) solely to provide device-local features:
- Decision History & Favorites: Timestamps and results of your past rolls, flips, and spins.
- Custom Wheel Configurations: Custom options, labels, and color palettes that you author.
- App Preferences: Your theme selection (Dark, Light, System), haptic feedback toggle, sound toggle, and shake sensitivity threshold.
This data remains strictly on your device and is never uploaded to any external server. You can permanently erase all recorded data at any time via the "Clear All History" option in the app's History tab or by clearing app storage in Android settings.
3. Device Sensors & Accelerometer Usage
Shake & Decide accesses the device’s physical hardware accelerometer via Android Sensor APIs to detect physical shaking gestures that trigger randomized dice rolls, coin tosses, and wheel spins.
- Accelerometer readings are processed transiently in volatile device memory (RAM) in real time.
- Motion sensor telemetry is never recorded, saved to disk, or transmitted over any network.
4. Advertising & Third-Party SDKs (Google AdMob)
To support ongoing maintenance and feature development, Shake & Decide displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK).
Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous data in accordance with Google's Advertising Privacy Policies to deliver non-personalized or personalized ads, prevent invalid traffic, and enforce frequency caps. This data may include:
- Google Advertising ID (GAID) / Android Advertising Identifier
- IP address (used to infer approximate city/country for regional ad compliance)
- Device hardware specifications, operating system version, and screen dimensions
- Ad interaction metrics (views, clicks, and rewarded video completion)
For details on how Google handles advertising data and how you can manage your preferences, please consult:
You can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of personalized advertising on Android at any time by going to:
Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
Shake & Decide is a general audience decision utility. We do not knowingly collect, request, or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). If you believe a child has provided personal information to third-party ad networks through this service, please contact us immediately.
7. Security & Data Integrity
Because all application data is stored locally in Android’s sandboxed private application storage, it is protected by Android’s operating system security model. No unauthorized application on your device can access your Shake & Decide history.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, Google Play developer policies, or app updates. Any updates will be published directly on this page with a revised "Effective Date" at the top.
