Privacy Policy • Maccheroni

1. Introduction

Maccheroni is a simple pasta cooking timer app developed by GeroSoftInc. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we share it when you use our app on iOS or Android.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information directly from you. No account creation or login is required.

No names, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information is collected by us.
All pasta images and logos are stored locally in the app as bundled SVGs and are never loaded from the internet.

3. Advertising

This app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

When ads are shown, Google may collect certain non-personal information such as your device advertising identifier, device type, IP address, and general usage data to serve and measure ads.

You can learn more about Google’s data practices here: Google Privacy Policy

4. Permissions

The app may request the following permissions depending on your platform:

Internet – Required solely to display advertisements via AdMob.
Vibration – To notify you when the timer ends.
Notifications – To show a notification when the timer finishes (optional).

On iOS, the app may also request permission to track activity for advertising purposes (App Tracking Transparency). You can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

5. How We Use Information

The app processes the timer you set and displays locally stored images entirely on your device. Advertising data is handled solely by Google AdMob to show relevant ads.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share any personal data. However, limited non-personal information is automatically shared with Google through AdMob for the purpose of serving advertisements.

7. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any personal data on our servers, there is no risk of your personal information being breached through this app. All local data stays on your device.
