Privacy Policy for UME Theme Store

Last updated: May 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how UME Theme Store ("the App", "we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you browse, download, preview, apply, or otherwise use themes and related services. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on your device, permissions, and usage, the App may process the following categories of information:

Device and App Information: device model, operating system version, screen resolution, language, app version, and basic diagnostic logs.
Usage Information: theme browsing, search, preview, download, apply, and favorite actions, plus settings changes, session times, and performance events.
Crash and Error Data: technical data used to identify bugs and improve stability.
Network and Download Information: request logs, download status, and cache records needed to fetch theme resources (generally not including content from other websites you visit).
Transaction and Account Identifiers (if applicable): if you sign in or purchase through Google Play or similar platforms, those providers may share transaction or account identifiers needed to deliver the service.
Advertising Identifiers (if enabled): IDs such as Google Advertising ID, used for ad delivery, anti-fraud, and campaign measurement.
Permission-Based Data: if you grant access, the App may read or write storage/media to save or apply theme packages, wallpapers, icons, and related assets. For some features, the App may also read installed-app or launcher information to preview or apply icon themes correctly, as disclosed at permission time.

Install shortcuts / add home-screen icons: when you use "Add to home screen", "Create shortcut", or similar features, the App may request permission to add shortcut icons to your device home screen.

We use this capability only after you clearly confirm, to add a theme entry, feature shortcut, or desktop icon provided by a theme pack you selected. We do not create home-screen icons in bulk without your consent, and we do not use this permission to read or monitor the rest of your home-screen layout or private content.

You can remove added shortcuts at any time from your home screen. Refusing or revoking this permission affects only shortcut-related features, not basic theme browsing where otherwise available.

We do not intentionally collect highly sensitive personal data unless a specific feature requires it and clearly discloses that at permission time.

2. How We Use Information

We use data to operate and improve UME Theme Store, including to:

Provide theme browsing, search, preview, download, apply, and updates;
Create home-screen shortcuts or apply theme-related icons after you confirm;
Maintain app security, prevent abuse, and detect fraudulent activity;
Analyze performance, fix crashes, and improve experience and recommendations (where enabled);
Show ads (where applicable) and measure ad effectiveness;
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

3. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by applicable laws, we process personal data based on your consent, contractual necessity to provide requested services, legitimate interests in app security and improvement, and legal compliance obligations. You can withdraw consent for optional permissions at any time through your device settings.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for direct monetary payment. We may share limited data with:

Service Providers: cloud hosting, content delivery, analytics, crash reporting, and customer support vendors;
Advertising Partners: ad networks and mediation platforms, when ads are enabled in your region or app version;
Legal Authorities: where disclosure is required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

5. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes above. Retention periods may vary by data type. Local theme cache and downloaded files can be cleared in app settings or through your device storage management.

6. Security Measures

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age defined by applicable local law. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without required parental consent. If you believe a child has provided data improperly, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement safeguards for cross-border transfers in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us below. We may verify your request before responding.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The App may include third-party SDKs, services, or links to external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or other appropriate channels, and the Last updated date at the top will be revised accordingly.
