Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Nova Browser (hereinafter referred to as "Nova Browser," "we," "our," or "the app") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information in accordance with Google Play Developer Program Policies, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, and other relevant data protection laws.

By using Nova Browser, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please do not use the application.

1. Information Collection & Usage

1.1 Why We Collect Information

We gather information to enhance your experience by offering high-quality, personalized services. Adhering to principles of legality, legitimacy, and necessity, we ensure that any personal data collected is directly relevant to service provision. To maintain your privacy, we implement methods that minimize data exposure while maximizing functionality, such as delivering more tailored ads, emails, notifications, or news updates.

1.2 Types of Information Collected & Their Uses

Location

The Weather feature requires access to your location permission to provide local weather information. We do not collect personally identifiable information, nor do we share this data with third parties.

Google Voice Search

This feature requires access to the microphone permission to enable voice search within the browser. During setup, the system will call the "SpeechRecognizer" API. We do not actively collect, store, or upload any of your voice data.

Floating Window & Notifications

These two features are designed to improve your experience and deliver relevant updates:

  • The Floating Window allows quick access to essential tools.
  • Notifications keep you informed of the latest updates.

Both features require your authorization, which you may revoke at any time in your device settings.

Net Speed Test

Nova provides a Net Speed Test feature to measure your internet speed. Your privacy is our top priority—any data generated during testing will not be shared with third parties.

Notification Management

To improve the notification management experience, this app uses the BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE permission. Details are as follows:

Purpose of permission: To read user notifications, enabling the interception and centralized display of notifications from other apps so you can manage them in one place.

You can disable this permission at any time in the settings. We guarantee that no notification content will be uploaded, shared, or provided to any third parties.

Network Traffic Monitoring

The app includes a traffic monitoring tool to analyze network usage within Nova, helping you track data consumption and better manage network activity. Monitoring is strictly limited to traffic generated by this app and does not cover other apps or overall device usage. You may disable this feature in the settings. All monitoring processes comply with privacy regulations, and no data will be uploaded or shared with third parties.

Battery Status Monitoring

To provide insights into battery usage, the app retrieves battery data via system APIs. We do not collect personally identifiable information or share such data externally.

Process Management

This feature allows you to view currently running applications and close unnecessary background processes. All operations occur locally and no data is transmitted to our servers.

Storage Permission

The Cleaning and File Management features require storage permission. We guarantee that no personally identifiable information is collected or shared externally.
