### User Data sent to Google

The following data is mandatory to make the Service function, all of which Google needs for **Aurora Store** to be able to receive required data:

* IP Address, bound to network request
* Timezone, MCC & MNC are stripped & replaced with a random value. (see [here](https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/aurora/store/data/providers/NativeDeviceInfoProvider.kt?ref_type=heads#L104-105))
* List of install apps, search query & packagename of any new app that you install.
  * List of install apps sent to Google can be filtered from within the App.

* Account details for Google sign-in verification

We do not store, process or sell any of the collected data above. The data is sent to and processed by Google's servers directly untouched.

### User data sent to our server by default

The only data being sent to our server are **IP addresses**. This is to ensure the functionality and stability of our server, which detects the amount of GET requests from an IP address and if deemed them as spamming, will be banned from our server, otherwise rate-limited.

Rate-limiting lasts for an hour. If you keep going over the 20 request per hour limit, an additional hour to the rate-limiting will be added for every additional 20 requests.

### Changes To This Privacy Policy

We keep updating our Privacy Policy from time to time, depending upon new developments or API changes on Google side. You are thus advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
