Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy sets forth how user information is handled in this app. By using this app, users are deemed to have agreed to this Policy.

2. Information Collected

This app does not require account registration or login, and the operator does not directly collect personal information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers in principle.

However, for the purposes of ad delivery and stable operation, the following information may be collected by third-party services (Google AdMob/Google Mobile Ads SDK).

2.1 Information Potentially Collected for Ad Delivery (AdMob)

Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect the following information for ad delivery, fraud prevention, and performance improvement:

• IP address
• Device information (device model, OS, language settings, etc.)
• Device ID/advertising-related IDs (e.g., advertising identifier)
• Crash logs, diagnostic information, performance data
• Information about in-app actions (user interactions such as ad impressions and taps)

※The above may vary depending on SDK specifications and settings.

2.2 ATT (App Tracking Transparency) Information

On iOS, tracking-related data (e.g., IDFA) may be used for purposes such as ad optimization only with user permission. The reason for requesting permission is displayed through iOS mechanisms.

2.3 Information Collected During Inquiries

When users contact us with inquiries, we may collect email addresses, inquiry content, and device information (model/OS version, etc.) to the extent necessary for responding.

3. Purpose of Information Use

Collected information is used for the following purposes:

• Ad delivery, display, measurement, and optimization
• Fraud prevention and security assurance
• App quality improvement (crash analysis, performance enhancement)
• Responding to inquiries

4. Third-Party Disclosure

This app uses Google services (AdMob/Google Mobile Ads SDK) for ad delivery. Accordingly, information is handled in accordance with Google's privacy policies.

Additionally, this app communicates with the UniProt API to retrieve UniProt data (search terms are included in communications).

5. Ad Personalization and Opt-Out

• Even if iOS "Tracking Permission (ATT)" is denied, the app's core functionality (sequence search and display) remains available.
• Depending on permission status, delivered ads may be non-personalized.

6. Retention Period

Collected information is retained only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes of use.

Logs related to ad delivery may be retained by third parties (Google) for a certain period.

7. Security

The operator implements reasonable security measures to prevent leakage, loss, or damage of collected information.
