Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Summary
ToothMassage itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no sign-in.
However, the app displays advertising supplied by Google AdMob, and Google collects data in order to serve those ads. That collection is described below.
What ToothMassage stores
The app saves four preferences so it opens the way you left it:
- your chosen intensity (0%, 50%, or 100%)
- your chosen vibration pattern
- your chosen session length
- whether you have acknowledged the safety notice
These are written to your device’s own private app storage. They never leave your phone, the developer cannot see them, and uninstalling the app deletes them permanently.
Advertising — data collected by Google
ToothMassage uses Google AdMob to display a banner advertisement. To select and measure ads, Google may collect and process:
- your device advertising ID (a resettable identifier)
- approximate location derived from your IP address
- device information such as model, operating system version, and language
- ad interaction data — whether an ad was shown, viewed, or clicked
This data is collected by Google, not by the developer of ToothMassage. We never receive it, and we cannot link it to you.
Google’s handling of this data is governed by their own policies:
- Google Privacy Policy — https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses information from partner sites and apps — https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Your controls
- Reset or delete your advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Deleting it stops personalised advertising on your device.
- Opt out of personalised ads: https://adssettings.google.com
- If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you are shown a consent form (Google’s User Messaging Platform) before any ad request is made, and you may refuse. You can change your choice at any time in the app under Safety & info → Privacy settings.
What ToothMassage does not do
- It does not request your name, email address, phone number, or any account.
- It does not access your camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, photos, or files.
- It does not send analytics or crash reports to the developer.
- It does not sell your data. The developer receives no personal data at all.
Permissions
These are the Android permissions ToothMassage’s current version requests. Some are needed by the app itself; others are added automatically by Google’s advertising SDK and the Android libraries it depends on.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
VIBRATE |
Runs the phone’s vibration motor, the app’s main function. |
INTERNET |
Requests advertisements from Google AdMob. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Lets the ads SDK check whether you are online before requesting an ad. It cannot see what you do online. |
WAKE_LOCK |
Added by Google’s ads and background-task libraries so short background tasks can finish. The app’s own “keep screen on during a session” does not use it. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Added by Android’s WorkManager library, a dependency of the ads SDK. ToothMassage itself does not run a foreground service. |
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID |
Lets Google read your device advertising ID to select ads. |
ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID |
Android Privacy Sandbox version of the advertising ID, used by the ads SDK on devices that support it. |
ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION |
Android Privacy Sandbox ad measurement (whether an ad led to an action), on supported devices. |
ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS |
Android Privacy Sandbox Topics: lets the ads SDK use broad interest topics calculated on your device, on supported devices. |
None of these permissions give the app access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or files. Those sensitive permissions, and drawing over other apps, are explicitly blocked in the app’s configuration so no library can add one silently.
Children
ToothMassage is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new “last updated” date.
