Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
Application: CSV File Viewer and Editor
This Privacy Policy explains how the CSV File Viewer and Editor application ("App") handles information when you use our services. This policy is designed to meet Google Play Console requirements, Google AdMob policies, and applicable privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA.
Summary: We do not collect or store your personal data on our servers. CSV files are processed locally on your device. The App requires an internet connection to display advertisements. Google AdMob may collect device and advertising-related data as described below.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit personal information to our servers. Specifically:
- No user registration or login is required
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or contacts
- We do not upload your CSV files to any server
- We do not collect precise location data
2. Data Stored on Your Device
The following information is stored locally on your device only:
- Recent files — file names, storage URIs, and open dates
- Favorites — files you mark with a star
- App settings — theme, delimiter, and display preferences
- Draft auto-saves — temporary copies of edits in app cache
You may clear this data at any time through Settings in the App, or by clearing app data / uninstalling the App.
3. File Access
The App uses Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) to open and save files you select. Files are accessed only with your explicit permission. All reading and writing of CSV data occurs on your device.
4. Internet Requirement
An active internet connection is required to use the App. Without internet access, the App cannot operate. This requirement exists because the App is supported by advertising through Google AdMob.
5. Advertising — Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob is operated by Google LLC. When you use the App, Google may automatically collect information such as:
- Advertising ID (GAID / AAID)
- Device type, operating system version, and screen characteristics
- IP address
- Ad interactions (impressions and clicks)
- Diagnostic data related to ad delivery
This information is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's policies. We do not have access to this data. Learn more:

6. Consent for Personalized Ads (UMP)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and other regions where required, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain consent before serving personalized advertisements. You may accept or decline personalized ads. If you decline, non-personalized ads may still be shown.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is suitable for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us through the Google Play Store listing for this App.
8. Data Security
CSV file processing occurs entirely on your device. We follow standard Android security practices. No method of electronic storage is completely secure; we recommend keeping your device protected with a screen lock.
9. Data Retention
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. Data collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's policies.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Opt out of personalized advertising via the in-app consent dialog or device ad settings
- Reset your Advertising ID in device Settings
- Request information about data held by Google (contact Google directly for AdMob data)
- Delete local data by clearing app storage or uninstalling the App
11. Third-Party Services
The App may link to external services such as the Google Play Store. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions will be available within the App. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
13. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer through the Google Play Store listing for CSV File Viewer and Editor using the support or contact option provided there.
