Privacy Policy

What We Collect

When crowdsource data sharing is enabled (opt-in by default, opt-out in Settings), the BetaMuncher Android app sends the following to our server:

• A randomly generated device UUID (not tied to your identity)
• App package names and their beta program status (Open, Enrolled, Full, etc.)
• App display names

What We Do Not Collect

• Your Google account credentials or email address
• Google Play session cookies — these are stored on your device only and never transmitted to our server
• Device identifiers (IMEI, Android ID, advertising ID)
• Location data
• Usage analytics or behavioral tracking

How We Use Your Data

The anonymous beta status reports are aggregated to power the public beta directory. This helps other users discover which apps have open beta programs on Google Play.

IP Addresses

Your IP address is used solely for rate limiting to prevent API abuse. It is not associated with your beta reports in the public directory and is not shared with third parties.

Data Retention

Beta reports older than 7 days are automatically excluded from the public directory. The device UUID and IP address stored for rate limiting are overwritten on each sync.

Opting Out

You can disable crowdsource data sharing at any time in the app's Settings. When disabled, no data is sent to our server. Beta scanning continues to work locally on your device.

Third Parties

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking services. We do not sell or share your data with anyone.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
