PixelWalls privacy policy

Effective 17 October 2026

PixelWalls is an Android app of animated pixel-art live wallpapers and matching home-screen widgets. This policy explains what happens to information when you use it. In short: PixelWalls has no accounts and no servers of its own, and the developer collects no personal information. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects some information as described below.

Information the app uses on your phone only

• Your calendar (optional). The "Next event" widget shows your next calendar event. If you add that widget and allow calendar access, PixelWalls reads your upcoming events on your phone to draw the widget. Events are never copied off your phone, sent anywhere or shared. You can turn calendar access off at any time in Android's settings.
• Battery level and the time. The battery and clock widgets read these from Android to draw themselves. They stay on your phone.
• Your choices in the app (which wall you set, each widget's style, whether you own the full version) are saved on your phone, and in your phone's own Android backup if you have backup turned on. The developer never receives them.

Purchases

The full version is a one-time in-app purchase handled by Google Play. Google Play processes the payment under Google's privacy policy; PixelWalls never sees your payment details. The app asks Google Play, on your phone, whether your Google account owns the full version, so it can unlock it and restore it on a new phone.

Ads in the free version

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob: a banner in the gallery, an occasional video between walls, and a video you choose to watch before setting a free wall. The full version shows no ads. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's ads software in the app may collect and share with Google:

• your device's IP address, which may be used to estimate its general location;
• your device's advertising ID and app set ID;
• how you interact with ads (for example views and taps) and app launches;
• diagnostic information about the app's and the ads software's performance.

This information is encrypted in transit. How Google uses it is explained in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's advertising policies.

Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and some US states), PixelWalls shows Google's consent message before any ad is requested. You can change your choices at any time in the app under Settings > Privacy options. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in Android's settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Google > Ads on some phones).

Children

PixelWalls is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect information from children.

Keeping and deleting information

The developer keeps no information about you, so there is nothing for the developer to delete. Uninstalling PixelWalls removes everything it saved on your phone. Information collected by Google for ads is kept and deleted under Google's policies linked above.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
