Privacy Policy — 3D Interior Design

1. Introduction and scope

This Privacy Policy explains what information 3D Interior Design (the "App"), an Android application published by Aivio Apps, reads, stores and sends, who receives it, and what choices you have. It applies only to the App. Our website has its own privacy policy.

By using the App you acknowledge this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.

2. Summary

Your projects stay on your phone, in a local database. We do not receive them, and the App has no account.
Designing, furnishing and viewing rooms work on your phone without the Internet. The Internet is used only to load ads.
Exports and sharing happen only when you choose them. Backups are handled by Android under your own settings.
The App has no account, and we operate no server that collects your information.
The App is free and shows ads served by Google AdMob. Google may collect device identifiers such as your advertising ID, and the App asks for your consent first where the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal information.

3. Information the App reads and stores on your device

To provide its features, the App uses the following. It is shown on your screen and, where noted, saved on your phone.

Your projects: The room dimensions, outline, walls, doors and windows, furniture and its placement, finishes, lighting, design variations and saved versions you create, kept in a local database on your phone.
Optional room photo: If you add a photo of the room, you choose it with Android's photo picker, and the App keeps a copy of that one photo in its private storage to show on the project. The App cannot see your other photos.
Your settings: Default measurement system, grid and snapping options, automatic saving, rendering quality and similar choices.
Preview cache: Thumbnails drawn from your projects and temporary image files made when you share, kept in the App's cache on your phone. They are rebuilt when needed and can be cleared in Settings.
Device and graphics details: The App checks your device's graphics ability to pick a suitable rendering quality. These details stay on your phone, except that they are added to the feedback email draft if you choose to send feedback.
Local counters: Small counters kept on your device to decide how often full-screen ads are shown.

What the App does not access: your location, camera, microphone, contacts, messages or call history, your photos other than the one you pick, or files other than those you open or save with Android's file picker. The design features never use the Internet.

4. Where your information lives and your control over it

Storage: projects, room photos and settings are kept in the App's private storage on your phone and are not uploaded by the App.
Backups: the App allows Android's automatic backup and device-to-device transfer for its project database and room photos. Whether they are copied, and where, depends on your device and Google account settings. Caches and temporary share files are never backed up.
Your control: edit or delete projects and designs in the App, use Clear preview cache in Settings, delete files you exported from where you saved them, or uninstall the App to remove everything it stored. Export a project first if you want to keep a copy.

5. Information sent off your device

3D Interior Design does not send your content or settings to Aivio Apps, and we operate no server that receives them. We do not use analytics or crash-reporting services of our own in the App.

The App does connect to the following services because of its own features. Each handles ordinary connection data, such as your IP address and the time of the request, under its own privacy policy.

Send feedback: Only if you tap it in Help & support. The App opens your own email app with a draft that includes the App version, your device make and model, the Android version and graphics details. Nothing is sent until you send the message, and your email provider and we then receive what you include.
Rate this app: Only if you tap it. The App opens the App's page in Google Play (in the Play Store app or your browser). Google handles that visit and anything you submit under its own privacy policy.
Links: The Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and open-source licence links open in your browser when you tap them. Those sites receive your request as any website would.

The App also connects to Google for ads and ad consent, as described in the Advertising section.

6. Permissions

The App declares the following Android permissions. You can review or withdraw the ones that need your approval in your device settings, although some features may then stop working.

INTERNET: Load ads.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Check that the device is online before requesting ads.
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID: Lets Google's advertising services read your Android advertising ID, as described in the Advertising section.

7. Advertising and consent

The App is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. It may show an adaptive banner ad on browsing screens and a full-screen ad after you finish certain actions.

Your projects, room dimensions, room photos and designs are never given to Google or to advertisers by the App.

When ads are requested or shown, Google and its partners may collect or receive:

your Android advertising ID and similar device identifiers;
your IP address, from which an approximate location may be derived;
device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language, and app name and version;
ad interaction information, such as ads viewed or clicked.

Google uses this to deliver, measure and personalise ads and to prevent fraud and abuse.

Consent. The App starts the Google Ads SDK only after Google's consent step has run and, where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), after Google's consent form has recorded your choice. This happens after the App's own first-run screens, never over them. You can review or change your choice at any time in the App's Settings, where an ad privacy option is shown for your region.

Other controls on Android:

Settings > Privacy > Ads (the path varies by device): reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation.
Settings > Google > Ads: manage ad personalisation for your Google account.

9. How we use information

Information handled by the App is used only to:

provide the features described above on your device;
remember your settings;
show ads and ask for ad consent, through Google;
keep the App working and secure.

If you email us, we use what you send (such as your email address and message) only to reply to you and to improve the App.

10. Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. Information goes to others only:

to the services described in the Information sent off your device and Advertising sections, which receive the technical data described there;
where we are required to do so by law, by a court order or by a public authority;
where it is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or security.

11. Storage, retention and deletion

Projects, designs and room photos stay on your phone until you delete them or uninstall the App.
Settings stay until you change them or uninstall the App.
The preview cache is rebuilt when needed and cleared when you choose Clear preview cache or when Android frees storage.
Exported files stay where you saved or sent them until you delete them.
Android backups, if enabled on your device, follow your Google account's own retention.
On our side: we hold no database of your content or any user profile, because the App has no accounts and sends us nothing.
Google: data processed by Google for advertising is kept under Google's own policies. To manage it, use the controls described in the Advertising section and your Google account at https://myaccount.google.com.
Email: if you email us, we keep the correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request and for ordinary record-keeping. You can ask us to delete it.

12. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by the App. Your content stays on your phone and is not transmitted by us, which limits exposure. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keeping your device locked and your Android version up to date helps protect you.

13. Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, or under any higher minimum age that applies in your country. The App does not knowingly serve ads to users who are under the applicable age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us at Aivio.Apps@hotmail.com and we will delete it.

14. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, or under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended), you may have the right to:

ask whether we hold personal information about you, and ask for a copy of it;
ask us to correct or delete it;
restrict or object to certain processing;
withdraw consent you have given, at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

We hold very little personal information about App users, usually only an email you choose to send us. Most of your data is on your device, where you can view and delete it yourself in the App. To make a request, email Aivio.Apps@hotmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and we will respond within the time required by law. Requests about advertising data held by Google must be made to Google.

California residents. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising through our own systems. Google, as an advertising provider, may process advertising identifiers as described in the Advertising section. You can limit this through your device's advertising settings.

15. International transfers

Google may process advertising-related data on servers in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, it relies on lawful transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses. See Google's privacy policy for details.

16. Third-party links

The App or its ads may open other websites or apps. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read their policies.

17. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the App, the services it uses or the law changes. The "Last updated" date shows the latest revision. If a change is significant, we will highlight it on the page where this policy is published and, where the App asks for acceptance, in the App. Using the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
