Introduction & Overview This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which **GTA Cheat Code** ("the Application", "the App", "we", "us", or "our"), bearing the Android package name `com.dimension.gtacheatcodes`, collects, utilizes, maintains, stores, and discloses information gathered from users ("User", "you", or "your") across Android mobile platforms. We are fully committed to protecting your personal privacy. Our primary design philosophy is to offer an offline-first, friction-free companion guide. We do not require you to register an account, sign in through any social platform, or provide personal biographical or financial details to access cheat codes, platform controls, secret numbers, or companion utilities. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using GTA Cheat Code, you signify your acceptance of the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not install or use the Application. --- ## 2.

Information We Do NOT Collect We firmly believe in data minimization. The App **DOES NOT** collect, solicit, extract, or process any of the following sensitive personal information: * **Personal Identifiable Information (PII):** First name, last name, home address, physical address, phone number, email address (unless you voluntarily reach out for technical support). * **Account Credentials:** Passwords, user IDs, biometric data, or authentication tokens. * **Financial & Payment Data:** Bank account details, credit/debit card numbers, billing information, or transaction history. * **Biometric & Sensor Information:** Camera recordings, microphone voice data, gyroscope, accelerometer, or biometric scans. * **Sensitive Device Data:** Contact book/address book, SMS messages, MMS, call logs, calendar events, or personal stored documents/photos. * **Precise Geolocation:** We never collect or track your high-accuracy GPS coordinates or real-time location. --- ## 4. Information We Collect & Process While the Application does not collect personal identity profiles, certain non-personally identifiable technical telemetry and anonymized identifiers are automatically processed to provide functionality, security, crash analytics, and advertisement services. ### A. Non-Personal Technical Device Data When the App communicates with our network services or third-party SDKs, the following technical details may be transmitted: * **Device Hardware Details:** Device brand, model (e.g., Pixel 7, Samsung Galaxy S23), manufacturer, processor architecture, screen resolution, and available memory. * **Operating System Details:** Android OS build version (e.g., Android 12, 13, 14, 15), SDK level, system language, and locale settings. * **Application Metrics:** Current installed version name and version code (e.g., `1.0.0+1`), install timestamp, and package signature integrity. ### B. Anonymous Device Fingerprint & Telemetry To prevent automated spamming, reverse engineering, and app manipulation, our remote service logs an anonymized device fingerprint (such as an Android ID hash). This identifier is mathematically anonymized, does not correlate to your personal identity or Google account, and is used solely for service reliability, ban management, and update delivery. ### C. Advertising & Network Identifiers Third-party advertising networks (Google AdMob) automatically collect standard advertising identifiers (Google Advertising ID / GAID), coarse network location derived from IP addresses (country/city level), and ad interaction telemetry. --- ## 5. How We Use Your Information Any technical or diagnostic information processed is utilized strictly for legitimate operational purposes: 1. **Application Delivery & Stability:** Ensuring cheat code data, platform buttons, and dialer tools render accurately across diverse Android devices and screen configurations. 2. **Dynamic Remote Configuration:** Dynamically delivering button layouts, game titles, and update advisories via our remote backend. 3. **App Maintenance & Update Verification:** Identifying outdated versions of the App and prompting users to update to ensure optimal stability and security. 4. **Fraud Detection & Abuse Prevention:** Preventing tampering, bot activities, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attempts, or unlawful reverse engineering. 5. **Ad Monetization:** Showing non-intrusive banner, interstitial, app open, or rewarded advertisements to keep the application 100% free for all global users. 6. **Support Inquiries:** Responding to bug reports or inquiries submitted voluntarily by users to `darkdotdarkline@gmail.com`. --- ## 6. Third-Party Services & SDK Integrations We partner with reputable industry-standard service providers that operate under strict security and privacy standards. These services may gather anonymized data subject to their respective privacy statements: ### A. Google AdMob & Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google LLC) The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob. Google may automatically collect and utilize: * Mobile Advertising Identifiers (Google Advertising ID / GAID). * IP address (used to infer general non-precise geographic region). * User interaction metrics (ad views, clicks, impressions, and engagement duration). * Diagnostic crash data and ad performance statistics. * *Review Google's Privacy Policies:* [Google Advertising & Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) & [Google Partner Policies](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites). ### B. Supabase Cloud Infrastructure (Backend & REST API) We utilize Supabase cloud infrastructure as our administrative REST API provider to deliver dynamic app configurations, game menus, and anonymous device heartbeat verification. * *Data processed:* App package name, anonymous device ID hash, manufacturer, device model, and OS release version. * *Purpose:* Remote configuration caching, update management, and system security. * *Review Supabase Privacy Policy:* [Supabase Privacy Policy](https://supabase.com/privacy). ### C. Google Fonts (Google LLC) The App fetches and renders typefaces (e.g., Oswald, Montserrat) using the Google Fonts package for UI typography. Requests are handled through Google's content delivery networks according to [Google Fonts Privacy](https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy). --- ## 7. Device Permissions Requested & Justification The Application requests the absolute minimum number of permissions required to function. We adhere strictly to Android's principle of least privilege: | Permission Name | Android Manifest Declaration | Reason & Usage Justification | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Internet Access** | `android.permission.INTERNET` | Required to communicate with Google AdMob servers, retrieve remote app configuration updates, and verify service connectivity. | | **Network State** | `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` | Required to detect if the device has an active Wi-Fi or Cellular network connection before initiating network calls, conserving device battery and mobile data. | > **Explicit Permission Clarification:** > The Application **NEVER** requests or accesses sensitive runtime permissions such as `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION`, `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION`, `CAMERA`, `RECORD_AUDIO`, `READ_CONTACTS`, `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`, `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`, or `READ_PHONE_STATE`. --- ## 8. Local Data Storage (On-Device Storage) The Application utilizes standard Android local storage mechanisms (`SharedPreferences`) directly within your device's isolated application sandbox. ### What is stored locally on your device? * **Starred Favorite Cheats:** Cheats marked as favorites by you for quick access. * **App Theme Configuration:** Your chosen visual appearance mode (Dark Theme or Light Theme). * **Haptic Vibration Settings:** Your preference toggle for tactile vibration feedback. ### Key Privacy Assurances for Local Data: * This data is stored strictly on your local physical device. * It is **never** uploaded, synced, transmitted, or sold to our servers or any third-party databases. * You maintain 100% control over this data. You can erase all saved favorites and preferences at any moment by navigating to **App Settings > Clear All Favorites** or via **Android Device Settings > Apps > GTA Cheat Code > Storage & Cache > Clear Storage**. --- ## 9. Data Retention and Deletion Policy * **Local Preferences:** Stored persistently on your hardware until you clear cache/data or uninstall the App. Uninstalling the App permanently removes all local configuration data immediately. * **Anonymous Backend Telemetry:** Diagnostic heartbeat logs (device model, OS version, anonymous device ID) transmitted to our backend for update verification are retained solely for operational maintenance and fraud monitoring purposes, after which they are purged. * **Data Deletion Requests:** Because we do not maintain user accounts or personal profiles, we do not store personal data tied to your name or identity. However, if you have submitted support correspondence or wish to request the purging of any diagnostic logs associated with your device hardware, please submit your request to **`darkdotdarkline@gmail.com`**. We process all verified deletion requests within 30 days without charge. --- ## 10. Data Security & Encryption Practices The security of your information is extremely important to us. We implement modern, industry-standard technical measures: * **Encryption in Transit:** All network requests between the Application, Google AdMob, and our Supabase backend are transmitted over encrypted connections utilizing Transport Layer Security (HTTPS / TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3). * **Sandboxed Storage:** All user preferences remain isolated inside the Android OS application sandbox, inaccessible to other apps installed on your device. * **No Plaintext Transmissions:** Sensitive configuration secrets and API communications are verified and protected against unauthorized tampering. While no electronic transmission or digital storage method is 100% secure, we follow rigorous industry best practices to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. --- ## 11. Children's Privacy Protection (COPPA & Global Standards) Complying with the **Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)**, the **General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)**, and Google Play Families Policies: * The Application is designed for a general audience and is **NOT directed at children under the age of 13** (or under 16 for residents of the European Economic Area / UK). * We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or retain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. * If you are a parent or legal guardian and discover that your minor child has transmitted personal information to us without parental consent, please contact us immediately at **`darkdotdarkline@gmail.com`**. We will take immediate steps to permanently delete any such information from our records. --- ## 12. International Compliance (GDPR & UK DPA) If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you are entitled to specific statutory rights under the **General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679 - GDPR)**: ### Legal Bases for Processing: * **Legitimate Interests:** We process non-identifiable technical data to ensure application performance, maintain security, prevent fraud, and distribute software updates. * **User Consent:** Where required by law, third-party advertising partners (Google AdMob) obtain your consent prior to processing personalized advertising identifiers. ### Your GDPR Statutory Rights: * **Right of Access:** You can request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is processed. * **Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"):** You have the right to request the deletion of your data. * **Right to Restriction of Processing:** You can ask us to pause or limit specific data processing activities. * **Right to Object:** You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct advertising. * **Right to Lodge a Complaint:** You maintain the right to lodge a complaint with an authorized supervisory Data Protection Authority (DPA) in your EU/EEA member state. To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection representative at **`darkdotdarkline@gmail.com`**. --- ## 13.
