Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 September 2026
Cooling Phone Fan ("the app") is made by Stupidsoft ("we"), the app studio of Brennstrøm Consult AS (org. no. 928 150 550), Ullern allé 20, 0381 Oslo, Norway. This policy explains what the app does with data, and it is short because the app does very little with it.
What the app is
Cooling Phone Fan is an entertainment app that shows a spinning fan and plays fan sounds. It does not cool the phone, and it does not read the phone's temperature, battery state or any other sensor.
Data we collect ourselves
None. The app has no account system and no servers of its own. The only thing it stores is whether you have unlocked Gold Edition, and that is kept on your device and deleted when you uninstall the app.
Data processed by third parties
Advertising (free tier only)
The free tier shows a small banner ad at the top of the screen and a full-screen ad from time to time while the fan is running, through Google AdMob (Google LLC). To serve and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process:
- your device's advertising ID and general device information (model, OS version, language, screen size),
- your approximate location derived from your IP address,
- app usage events related to the ad itself (that an ad was shown, viewed or tapped).
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form, and you can change your choice later from inside the app. Declining does not affect the app's features.
Google's policies for this data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings under Privacy → Ads.
Gold Edition removes ads entirely. Once Gold Edition is unlocked, the ads SDK is not asked for anything.
Purchases
The Gold Edition unlock is a one-time purchase handled by Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment; we never see your payment details. The app only receives a confirmation that the purchase exists so it can unlock Gold Edition. Google's terms: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/.
Permissions the app asks for, and why
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet access | Loading ads in the free tier and confirming a Gold Edition purchase with Google Play. |
| Advertising ID | Used by the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the free tier, as described above. |
| Vibration | A light tap of haptic feedback on the buttons. |
The app does not use the camera, microphone, contacts, location or files.
Children
The app is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new "Last updated" date.
