Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Gold Price Live Alert ("the app", "we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the app. The app provides live gold and silver prices, market reference data, calculators, charts, and optional user-created price alerts.
Information We Collect
The app may collect or store the following information:
- Device alert identifier: a random device ID and device secret generated by the app. These are used to keep your saved price alerts linked to your device without requiring a login.
- Push notification token: a Firebase Cloud Messaging token may be collected if you enable notifications, so the app can send price-alert notifications to your device.
- Price alert settings: the instrument you choose, alert condition, target price, alert status, creation/update timestamps, and trigger/acknowledgement timestamps.
- App preferences and cached market data: settings such as selected country, quote mode, calculator inputs, and recently loaded price data may be stored locally on your device to improve the app experience.
- Technical information: our servers and third-party infrastructure providers may process basic technical information such as IP address, request time, device platform, app version, and error logs when the app connects to price and alert services.
- Purchase information: if you buy Premium, the app may store Google Play purchase tokens, hashed token identifiers, GPA order IDs, subscription state, and expiry time so Premium can be verified, restored, and supported. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
Information We Do Not Collect
The app does not intentionally collect:
- Personal identity information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
- Precise location, contacts, calendar, photos, camera, or microphone data.
- Bank account, loan, payment card, wallet, brokerage, or trading account details.
- Information used to buy, sell, or trade financial products inside the app.
How We Use Information
We use collected information only to operate and improve the app, including to:
- Show live gold, silver, currency, and related market reference data.
- Create, update, pause, delete, and trigger price alerts.
- Send push notifications when a user-created target price is reached.
- Keep your app preferences available on your device.
- Maintain security, prevent unauthorized access to device-linked alerts, and troubleshoot service issues.
Notifications and Full-Screen Alerts
The app asks for notification permission only to provide gold and silver price alerts. If enabled, the app may show a prominent alert, vibrate, or wake the screen when a saved target price is reached. You can turn off notifications from your Android system settings at any time.
Third-Party Services
The app uses third-party services to provide core functionality:
- Google Firebase / Firebase Cloud Messaging: used to deliver push notifications and support alert delivery.
- Google Cloud / Firestore: used to store device-linked alert records and notification tokens.
- Market data and chart providers: used to retrieve or display gold, silver, currency, and chart information.
- Google Play Billing: used to process optional Premium subscription purchases, cancellations, renewals, and restore requests.
- Google AdMob: used to show ads to free users and help support the app.
These providers may process technical information according to their own privacy policies and service terms.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your information. We do not share your device-linked alert information with advertisers or data brokers. Information may be processed by service providers only as needed to operate the app, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, or protect the security of the service.
Data Retention and Deletion
Price alerts remain stored while they are active or saved in the app. When you delete an alert, it is removed from the active alert list and is no longer used for notifications. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security, debugging, and service reliability.
To request deletion of device-linked alert data, contact the developer using the developer contact details shown on the Google Play listing for Gold Price Live Alert. Include that the request relates to privacy/data deletion for this app.
Security
The app uses randomly generated device credentials for alert access and sends app-server requests over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards designed to protect the information needed to operate alerts.
Children's Privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact the developer using the Google Play listing contact details.
Financial Disclaimer
The app provides market reference information, estimates, calculators, and alerts. It does not provide financial advice, banking, lending, payment, brokerage, trading, investment, or insurance services. Prices may be delayed, estimated, or different from local market prices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes or when legal, technical, or business requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated.
