Privacy Policy

HTG Game Turbo · Last updated: June 2026 · Effective: June 2026

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.

Short version: We don't collect, store, or sell your personal data. All device stats are computed on your phone and never leave it. Third-party services (AdMob) may collect limited data for ads. You can opt out anytime.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

1.2 Data Processed On-Device Only

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):

1.3 Data Collected by Third Parties (AdMob)

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

1.4 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

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.

2. Permissions We Use

The App requests the following Android permissions, each tied to a specific feature:

INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

Required to display ads via AdMob and fetch public IP in the optional Network Check feature.

AD_ID

Required by Google AdMob SDK for ad attribution. You can reset or disable this in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

POST_NOTIFICATIONS

To show optional reminders about device stats. You can disable notifications anytime in App Settings or Android notification settings.

ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY

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.

WRITE_SETTINGS

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.

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW (Display over other apps)

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.

FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE

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.

QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES

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.

REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES

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.

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Required to reschedule optional reminder notifications after device reboot. No data is collected on boot.

3. Shizuku-Based Advanced Features

The App includes optional features that use the Shizuku service (a third-party ADB bridge installed separately by you). These features are:

For all Shizuku features:

4. Advertisements and Consent

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.

5. Engagement Points

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.

6. How We Use Information

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.

7. Data Sharing

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.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

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.

9. Children's Privacy

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.

10. Security

Because all data stays on your device, the primary security boundary is your device itself. We recommend:

11. Changes to This Policy

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.

12. Your Rights

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.
