7. Your rights to personal information

As a user of our app, you have certain rights with respect to your personal information, including :

7.2 How to Exercise Your Rights

Please contact us at [email protected] if you would like to exercise your rights under applicable law.

Note: Since most data is anonymous, we may need device-specific details to process requests.
For Firebase or advertising-related data, we may forward your request to the respective third party (Google LLC, AppLovin).

7.3 How to Uninstall This Application

Uninstall via Google Play
Open Google Play → Go to the app details page → Tap this app to uninstall.

Uninstall via System Settings
Go to Settings → Apps → Find this Launcher → Tap ‘Uninstall’.

Uninstall from Another Launcher (If Not Set as Default)
If the user has not set this app as the default Launcher, it will still appear in the app drawer of other Launchers (e.g., Pixel Launcher, One UI).
Users can long-press the icon to uninstall.

8. Why We Need App List Access

The core function of the Launcher is to display and manage all of the user's applications, therefore it is necessary to obtain the list of applications installed on the device.
Specific uses include :

Starting from Android 11 (API 30), Google restricts the behavior of applications reading the installed application list.
The default permission (GET_INSTALLED_APPS) can only see its own applications and some interacted applications.
The Launcher declares QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES to see all applications, otherwise users will see an incomplete application drawer.

9. International Data Transfers (GDPR Compliance)

If you’re in the UK or EEA :
Your data may be transferred outside these regions including to the US via Firebase, AdMob, Facebook or AppLovin.
We ensure safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions are in place.
Contact us for details on transfer mechanisms.

DramaNow is not developed for children. This Platform is not directed at children under the age of 13 or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction.
If you believe that we have personal data about or collected from a child under the relevant age, please contact us at [email protected].

(i) both the Teen and their parent or legal guardian have first agreed to these Terms of Service ;
(ii) the Teen uses an account established by their parent or legal guardian, under such parent or guardian’s supervision, and with such parent or guardian’s permission.
