This Privacy Policy explains how our applications may interact with device data, third-party services, and user information.
By using our applications, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information and Data Usage
AKKU Media Apps applications are designed to minimize the collection of personally identifiable information wherever possible.
Most application data and settings are stored locally on the user's device and are not transmitted to AKKU Media Apps servers.

Users can manage advertising preferences through their Google Account and Android device settings.
