Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Play Metrics ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our services, we require access to certain data associated with your Google Play Developer account.

  • Google Account Information: When you log in via Google Sign-In, we collect basic profile information (such as your email address) and OAuth 2.0 authentication tokens.
  • Google Play Developer Data: With your explicit authorization, the App accesses your Google Play Console data via official Google APIs and Google Cloud Storage. This includes app install metrics, financial reports, active device snapshots, crash and ANR rates, and user reviews.
  • Usage and Analytics Data: We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized data regarding how you interact with the App, device type, operating system version, and crash reports related to the App itself.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To Provide Core Functionality: To fetch, parse, and display your Google Play developer metrics, financial data, and crash clusters directly on your device.
  • To Enable Actions: To allow you to reply to user reviews directly from the App using the Android Publisher API.
  • To Improve the App: To analyze usage trends and fix bugs within Play Metrics using aggregated, anonymized data.

3. Data Storage and Security

We prioritize the security of your sensitive developer data:

  • On-Device Storage: Your Google OAuth authentication tokens are stored securely on your device using Apple's encrypted Keychain.
  • Direct API Communication: Your Google Play Developer data (such as CSV reports and API JSON responses) is fetched directly from Google's servers to your device. We do not store, intercept, or route your Play Store metrics, financial data, or user reviews through any third-party backend servers controlled by us.
  • Authentication: We use Firebase Authentication to securely manage your login state.

4. Third-Party Services

The App utilizes third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. The primary third-party service providers used by this App include:

  • Google Play Developer Reporting API & Android Publisher API
  • Google Cloud Storage API
  • Google Sign-In & Firebase Authentication
  • Firebase Analytics

For more information on how Google handles your data, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

  • Revoking Access: You can revoke the App’s access to your Google Play Developer account at any time by navigating to your Google Account Security settings and removing Play Metrics from your authorized third-party apps.
  • Local Data Deletion: Signing out of the App or uninstalling the App will immediately delete your OAuth tokens and any locally cached developer metrics from your device.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
