DevMigration LLC ("DevMigration", "we", "us", or "our") builds and publishes software applications for many platforms, including mobile (iOS and Android), web, desktop (Windows, macOS, and Linux), and other connected devices. We also operate the website devmigration.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
This policy applies to every application, website, web app, desktop program, browser extension, or related online service that names DevMigration LLC as its developer, publisher, or operator (together, the "Apps"), wherever you get it: an app store such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Microsoft Store, the web, or a direct download. It also applies to this website (together with the Apps, the "Services"). If an individual App handles data differently from what is described here, that App will show you a separate notice before it collects the data.
Software we build for clients and publish under a client's name is covered by that client's privacy policy, not this one.
1. Information we collect
We try to collect as little information as possible. Depending on which App you use and which features you turn on, we may collect:
Information you give us
- Account information, such as your name, email address, and password, if an App lets you create an account.
- Content you create in an App, such as notes, settings, or files you choose to save or sync.
- Messages to us, such as support requests, feedback, or the contact form on this website (your name, email, and message).
Information collected automatically
- Device, browser, and app information, such as device model, operating system, browser type, app version, language, time zone, and IP address.
- Diagnostics, such as crash logs, error reports, and performance data, used to find and fix bugs.
- Usage data, such as which pages, screens, or features are used and how often, collected in aggregate to improve the Apps.
- Identifiers, such as an app-specific install ID or a session ID. Apps that show ads also use your device's advertising identifier (the Android Advertising ID or Apple's IDFA), as described in Advertising below. We do not use advertising identifiers for any other purpose.
- Cookies and similar technologies in our websites and web apps, used to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and measure usage. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may stop working.
We do not sell your personal information. Some free Apps show ads from Google AdMob, as described in Advertising below.
2. How we use information
- To provide, maintain, and operate the Services and their features.
- To create and manage your account, if you have one.
- To respond to support requests and other messages.
- To find and fix bugs, crashes, and performance problems.
- To understand how the Services are used so we can improve them.
- To protect the Services and our users against fraud, abuse, and security threats.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. How we share information
We share personal information only in these situations:
- Service providers that host data or provide analytics, crash reporting, email, or customer support for us. They may use the data only to perform services on our behalf.
- Legal reasons, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or is needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of DevMigration, our users, or others.
- Business transfers, if DevMigration is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- With your consent, or at your direction.
4. Third-party services
Some Apps use third-party services, libraries, or software development kits (SDKs) for functions such as hosting, analytics, crash reporting, sign-in, payments, or cloud storage. These providers may collect information as described in their own privacy policies. For Apps distributed through an app store, the data types each App collects and shares are also listed on its store page (for example, App Privacy on the Apple App Store and Data safety on Google Play).
| Service | Used in | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) | Whisker Grid | Rewarded video ads | How Google uses data from apps |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Whisker Grid | Ad consent choices | Google Privacy Policy |
4a. Advertising
Some free Apps, including Whisker Grid, show ads provided by Google AdMob. In Whisker Grid, ads are optional: you only see one when you choose to watch a short video to get a hint or another try. To show ads, measure how they perform and prevent fraud, Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process your device's advertising identifier, your IP address (which can be used to estimate your general location), information about how you interact with ads and the App, and diagnostic data. This information is collected by Google and handled under the Google Privacy Policy; see also How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and some US states), the App asks for your choices before any ads are requested, using Google's consent tool. Ads may be personalized only if you agree. You can change your choices at any time in the App under Settings → Privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device settings (on Android: Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
Game progress and settings in Whisker Grid are stored only on your device and are not sent to us.
5. Purchases and subscriptions
Purchases and subscriptions in our Apps are processed either by the app store you downloaded the App from (such as Apple, Google, or Microsoft) or, for web and desktop Apps, by a third-party payment processor. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. We may receive limited transaction information, such as a purchase confirmation, product ID, and subscription status, so we can unlock the features you paid for.
6. Device and browser permissions
Some App features may ask for access to things like your camera, photos, files, location, microphone, contacts, or notifications. We ask only when a feature needs that access, and we use it only for that feature. You can allow or revoke these permissions at any time in your device, operating system, or browser settings. Turning off a permission may stop the related feature from working, but the rest of the App will continue to work.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy. Account data is kept while your account is active. Diagnostic and usage data is generally kept for no more than 24 months. Messages you send us are kept as long as needed to resolve your request. We may keep some information longer when the law requires it.
8. Deleting your account and data
You can ask us to delete your account and the personal data associated with it at any time:
- In the App: where an App supports accounts, use the "Delete account" option in its settings.
- By email: send a request to contact@devmigration.com with the subject "Data deletion request", the name of the App, and the email address linked to your account.
- Online: use our contact form and choose "Privacy / data request".
We will confirm your request and complete the deletion within 30 days. Some information may be kept where we are legally required to do so (for example, transaction records), and backups are cleared on their normal cycle. Uninstalling an App or clearing your browser data removes data stored only on your device, but does not delete data stored on our servers.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children's privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Delete your information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
California residents: under the CCPA/CPRA, you have the rights listed above. We do not sell personal information. In Apps that show ads, Google may receive information that California law treats as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising when ads are personalized. You can opt out with the App's Privacy choices option or your device's ad settings.
EEA and UK residents: we process personal information to provide the Services you request (contract), for our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Services, to comply with legal obligations, or with your consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For ads, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time under Settings → Privacy choices in the App.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
12. International users
DevMigration is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those where you live.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, let you know in the App or by other appropriate means.
