1. Scope
This policy applies to the GameBooster Android App and its developer-operated privacy-policy page. It does not govern Google Play, Google AdMob, Android system settings, games you launch, or other third-party apps and services. Those parties process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
This policy page is static. It contains no analytics scripts, advertising tags, or third-party fonts. The app icon is embedded directly in the page.
2. Information the App handles
Information processed and stored locally
Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, the App may process the following information on your device:
| Category | Examples | Purpose and storage |
|---|---|---|
| Game and app information | Installed launchable app names, package names, icons, Android game-category signals, selected games, favorites, hidden status, category, and last-played time. | Used to build and organize your local game library and launch apps you select. Library preferences are stored locally. |
| Usage events | Recent foreground-app package names and timestamps made available by Android Usage Access. | Used locally to detect selected games for optional Automatic Boost. We do not upload this information to a developer-operated server. |
| Device diagnostics | Memory totals and pressure, CPU usage sample, storage capacity and free space, battery level, charging state, health, temperature, Android thermal status, power-saver state, network transport and measured HTTPS response time to Google's connectivity endpoint, display refresh rate, manufacturer, model, Android version, and App version. | Used to display device-health and measured Boost Mode information. The web test is not game-server ping. Some results and timestamps may be kept in local history. |
| App-owned cache information | Sizes and paths-count totals for GameBooster-owned cache and temporary directories; measured bytes and file counts removed after you initiate cleaning. | Used for Junk Cleaner statistics and results. The cleaner is limited to App-owned cache and temporary locations. |
| Preferences and feature history | Onboarding status, boost count, up to 50 boost records, up to 30 cleaner-history entries, GFX reference settings, rating-prompt state, and remaining Ultra Boost uses. | Used to remember your choices and provide App features. Stored locally on your device. |
| Boost Mode state | Whether Automatic Boost is active, detected-game state, boost mode, overlay state, Android validated-connectivity and transport state, and thermal-pressure state. | Used locally to operate and stop the foreground Boost Mode service correctly. |
| Communications you send us | Your email address, message content, and attachments if you contact support. | Used to respond to your request, troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, and keep necessary support records. |
Information we do not intentionally access
The App does not request access to your precise GPS location, contacts, call logs, SMS messages, microphone, camera, photos, videos, financial information, health records, or passwords. GameBooster does not read the internal data of other games.
3. Android permissions and special access
Android permissions and special access are used as follows:
| Permission or access | Why it is used | Your control |
|---|---|---|
| Internet and network/Wi-Fi state | Loads Google AdMob ads, reports the current connection type, measures HTTPS response time to Google's connectivity endpoint for diagnostics, checks Android validated connectivity before Boost, and monitors connection loss or transport changes during a manually started Ultra session. | Network access is part of the installed App. These features do not alter or accelerate the connection and are not game-server ping. |
| Usage Access | Reads recent foreground-app events to help identify games and optionally detect when a selected game is active. | Optional. Grant or revoke it in Android Settings. Manual library and other unaffected features remain available. |
| Do Not Disturb access | Lets Boost Mode temporarily silence interruptions and later restore the previous interruption setting. | Optional. Boost Mode still works without it. Grant or revoke it in Android Settings. |
| Foreground services and notifications | Keeps requested Boost Mode or Display Rate Overlay operating visibly. Boost Mode supports selected-game detection; the overlay service keeps the user-controlled badge available above other apps. Each active service provides an ongoing notification with a stop action. | Notification permission is requested on Android versions that require it. You can stop Boost Mode or turn off the overlay in the App or from its notification. |
| Display over other apps | Shows the optional compact display refresh-rate badge above GameBooster and other apps. It reports only the current Android display refresh rate in Hz. It does not report game-rendered FPS or promise a performance increase. | Optional. Display Rate Overlay in Tools opens Android Settings only when the system grant is missing. After the grant, switching it on immediately shows the badge through a user-visible foreground service; switching it off removes the badge without revoking the Android grant. |
| App visibility through launcher queries | Finds launchable apps so you can create and manage a game library without requesting broad access to every installed package. | Used only for the library and game-detection features. |
A privacy policy does not replace Android permission prompts or any separate prominent in-App disclosure required by Google Play.
4. How information is used
We use information handled by the App to:
- provide and maintain the game library, measured device and Boost Mode diagnostics, Ultra thermal/network guards, app-owned cache cleaning, boost history, and optional Automatic Boost;
- remember your local choices and show accurate feature status;
- display, measure, secure, and prevent abuse of advertisements through Google AdMob;
- provide voluntary rewarded ads that unlock the clearly described in-App reward only after the ad SDK confirms completion;
- diagnose failures, protect the App, respond to support requests, and comply with applicable law.
Where applicable, processing may rely on performance of the service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the App, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw Android permissions through the relevant system controls and manage Google advertising choices through your device or Google account.
5. Advertising and rewarded ads
The App uses Google AdMob. Mobile Ads initializes directly when the App starts, and a banner advertisement loads on the Dashboard after SDK initialization. Rewarded advertisements are displayed only when you choose the Ultra Boost “Watch Ad” unlock action. Google may show a video, playable ad, survey, or similar rewarded format. Ultra Boost uses are granted only after the advertising SDK confirms that the reward was earned. Display Rate Overlay remains a separate user-controlled measured tool. Closing, skipping, or failing to load an ad does not grant the reward.
Google and its advertising partners may automatically receive or process information such as:
- the App name and package identifier;
- IP address and approximate/general location derived from it;
- device and advertising identifiers or other app-instance identifiers, subject to device settings and applicable law;
- device type, operating system, language, network information, and basic diagnostics;
- ad requests, impressions, views, clicks, reward events, and fraud-prevention signals.
The App requests non-personalized ads where configured. Non-personalized ads may still use contextual information, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security signals, IP-derived general location, and device storage or identifiers where permitted.
The App does not currently present an in-App User Messaging Platform consent form or advertising privacy-options screen. Mobile Ads initialization is not gated by an in-App consent status. You can manage available advertising controls through your Android device and Google account. The developer must review the advertising configuration and distribution regions against applicable Google policies and legal requirements before release.
Learn more from How Google uses information from apps that use its services, the Google Privacy Policy, and My Ad Center.
7. Data retention and deletion
- On-device data: retained until you delete it, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App. Boost history is limited to the latest 50 records, and cleaner history to the latest 30 entries.
- In-App deletion: use Settings → Privacy policy & data controls → Clear local app data to remove supported local histories and preferences.
- Complete local deletion: use Android Settings to clear GameBooster’s storage or uninstall the App. Revoking permissions does not automatically erase previously stored local preferences.
- Support emails: retained only as reasonably necessary to answer the request, keep business/security records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.
- Advertising data: retained by Google and its partners according to their own policies, legal obligations, account settings, and consent signals. We do not control their retention systems.
Because local data is not synchronized to a developer account or server, we generally cannot identify or remotely delete data that exists only on your device.
8. Your choices and privacy rights
You can:
- decline or revoke Usage Access, Do Not Disturb, notification, and display-over-apps access through Android Settings;
- disable Automatic Boost and stop the foreground Boost Mode service;
- clear supported local histories and preferences in the App;
- clear all App storage or uninstall the App;
- manage Google ad personalization and related controls in your Google account or Android settings;
- contact us to ask questions or exercise rights provided by applicable privacy law.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, or objection to certain processing. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
We do not sell personal information for money. Depending on local law and advertising configuration, some advertising activity may be described as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar term. Use the available Google account or Android controls, or contact us regarding an applicable request. We may need enough information to verify and respond to your request, but we cannot retrieve records stored only on your device.
9. Children’s privacy
GameBooster is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age in their country. We do not knowingly operate an account system or intentionally collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Parents and guardians should supervise device permissions and advertising settings. The App’s Google Play target-audience and advertising configuration must be kept consistent with the audience selected by the developer in Play Console.
10. Security
Local feature data is stored inside storage assigned to the App by Android. We limit cache cleaning to GameBooster-owned locations, do not provide a remote login, and avoid operating a cloud database for feature history. We also use platform permission controls for sensitive capabilities.
No security method is perfect. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your device, operating system, network connection, Google services, or information you voluntarily send by email. Keep Android and the App updated and protect access to your device.
11. International processing
Google and other service providers may process advertising and support information in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, the relevant service provider is responsible for appropriate transfer safeguards under its policies and applicable agreements.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when App features, permissions, service providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. We will post the revised policy at the same public URL and update the date at the top. Material changes may also be communicated in the App or through the store listing where appropriate.
