IOT FORGE PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: September 6, 2026

IoT Forge (the “App”) is an educational application for learning Arduino, ESP32,

robotics, sensors, automation, and Internet of Things projects. This Privacy Policy

explains how information may be handled when you use the App.

1. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE

The App does not require an account or sign-in. The developer does not directly

request or collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files,

precise location, payment details, or user-generated content through the App.

If you contact the developer for support, the information you include in your

message will be used only to respond to your request and maintain appropriate

support records.

2. ADVERTISING, CONSENT, AND AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSED DATA

The App displays advertisements using Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and uses Google's

User Messaging Platform to request or manage advertising and privacy consent where

required. These services may automatically process information such as your IP

address, approximate location derived from IP, device or advertising identifiers,

app interactions, advertisement interactions, and diagnostic information. The

exact data processed can depend on your device, region, consent choices, Google

settings, and the final advertising configuration.

Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google advertising controls: https://myadcenter.google.com/

3. HOW INFORMATION IS USED

Information processed through the advertising and consent services may be used to:

• deliver and measure advertisements;

• prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;

• remember or communicate consent choices;

• diagnose crashes and improve service reliability; and

• comply with legal obligations.

The App's core project lessons are stored locally and can be read without creating

an account.

4. SHARING

The developer does not sell your personal information. Information may be processed

by Google and its advertising partners as necessary to provide advertising,

measurement, consent, security, and diagnostic services, subject to their own

terms and privacy policies. Information may also be disclosed when required by law

or to protect users, the developer, or the public.

5. RETENTION AND SECURITY

The developer does not maintain a separate account database for App users.

Third-party service providers retain information according to their own policies.

Reasonable measures are used to protect information, but no method of electronic

transmission or storage is completely secure.

6. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

Depending on your region, the App may show a Google consent message. You can also

manage advertising choices through your Android and Google account settings. You

may contact the developer to ask a privacy question or exercise rights available

under applicable law. The developer may need enough information to verify and

respond to a valid request.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is a general educational resource and is not directed to children under 13.

The developer does not knowingly collect personal information directly from

children. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to the

developer, please contact the developer so the matter can be reviewed.

8. INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING

Google and its service providers may process information in countries other than

the country where you live. Their safeguards and disclosures are described in

their applicable privacy documentation.

9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

This policy may be updated when the App, its service providers, or legal requirements

change. The effective date at the top will be revised when changes are published.
