Hi Tech Gamerz ("we", "our", "us") operates the HTG Game Turbo Android application ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
We do not collect, store, or transmit:
The App reads the following information from your device to display it to you. This data is processed locally and is never transmitted to our servers (we do not operate servers):
The App displays ads via Google AdMob. The App uses the following AdMob ad formats: Banner ads, Rewarded Interstitial ads, Rewarded Video ads, and App Open ads. Google may collect the following through the AdMob SDK:
All AdMob data collection is subject to your consent choice shown on first launch. Google's handling of this data is governed by their own Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
The App uses Android SharedPreferences to save your settings and preferences locally only:
This data never leaves your device. Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data.
The App requests the following Android permissions, each tied to a specific feature:
Required to display ads via AdMob and fetch public IP in the optional Network Check feature.
Required by Google AdMob SDK for ad attribution. You can reset or disable this in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
To show optional reminders about device stats. You can disable notifications anytime in App Settings or Android notification settings.
Required for the Do Not Disturb (DND) toggle in Game Launcher and Game Toolbox overlay. Only activates DND when you explicitly enable the toggle. If permission is not granted, the toggle is visibly disabled with an explanation.
Required for the Rotation Lock toggle in Game Launcher and Game Toolbox overlay. Only modifies the system rotation setting when you explicitly enable the toggle. Fully reversible. If permission is not granted, the toggle is visibly disabled with an explanation.
Required for the optional Game Toolbox floating overlay that displays live RAM, battery, temperature, and FPS stats while gaming. Only activates when you explicitly enable it. Revocable anytime.
Required to run the Game Toolbox floating overlay as a foreground service during gaming. Declared as specialUse with subtype: "Game overlay toolbox with live stats." The service only runs when you explicitly enable the toolbox and shows a persistent notification as required by Android.
Required to list installed apps in the Game Launcher, App Manager, and Storage Analyzer (largest apps) features. The list is used only to populate in-app UI and is never transmitted off your device.
Required for the App Manager feature to let you uninstall apps through the standard Android uninstall prompt. Activates only when you tap Uninstall on a specific app.
Required to reschedule optional reminder notifications after device reboot. No data is collected on boot.
The App includes optional features that use the Shizuku service (a third-party ADB bridge installed separately by you). These features are:
pm trim-caches (the same API used by Android's own Settings app). No user data is deleted — only temporary cache files.For all Shizuku features:
On first launch, the App shows a consent dialog (Google's UMP SDK) asking whether you want personalized or non-personalized ads. Your choice is respected for all ad formats:
You can change your ad preference anytime in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. You can also reset or delete your Advertising ID entirely from the same menu.
The App includes a cosmetic engagement points system. All data is stored locally on your device only:
This data is never transmitted to any server. Points have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real-world goods or services.
Because the App does not collect personal data, we do not use your personal data for any purpose. All device stats are shown only to you within the App. AdMob uses advertising data to serve ads per your consent choice.
We do not sell, rent, or share any personal data with third parties because we don't collect any. The only third-party involved is Google (AdMob) for serving ads, governed by Google's own Privacy Policy.
All local data remains on your device until you:
We do not retain any copies because we do not collect data server-side. To opt out of Google AdMob data collection, go to Android Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising ID.
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Since no personal data is collected by us at all, there is no child data on our end. AdMob's data collection is governed by Google's policies.
Because all data stays on your device, the primary security boundary is your device itself. We recommend:
If we update this policy, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated via an in-App notice or update description on Google Play.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws. Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, most requests are not applicable. For AdMob data, contact Google directly. For any questions, contact us below.
